Making Shift Happen’s Post

The last of our 2024 content reflections: Your Favourite Conversation! 🎙️ One of the year’s most popular pieces of content was our podcast episode where I sat down with executive coach Eamon Foley to explore the connection between values, culture, and leadership success. 💡 Key takeaways from the episode: 1️⃣ Strong values and culture are essential to delivering a company’s vision - but they need to be operationalised to come to life. Vision alone isn’t enough; it’s about embedding it in daily actions and decisions. 2️⃣ Emotional intelligence and relationship-building aren’t just “nice to haves” - they’re at the heart of effective leadership. Leaders who can connect with their teams inspire trust, collaboration, and performance. 3️⃣ Executive coaching is a powerful tool for leadership development, helping leaders grow, align with their purpose, and navigate challenges with clarity. This conversation resonated because it tackled the real work of leadership: making visions tangible, fostering meaningful relationships, and building a strong, values-driven culture. If you haven’t yet listened to this episode, it’s a must for anyone committed to developing as a leader or creating impact in their organisation (link in comment below 👇). As we reflect on the past year, we’re grateful for the conversations that challenged us, inspired us, and helped us grow. Here’s to more impactful discussions in 2025!

Something exciting is coming… Last year, I launched the Extra-Ordinary Leaders podcast, a series dedicated to demystifying impactful business leadership. Exploring the often overlooked ordinary components of leadership and finding ways to dial up their impact meant that extra-ordinary leadership could become more attainable and accessible. I wanted to give leaders effortless tips and tools that they could implement into their ordinary days to make their leadership and business results impactful, enjoyable, and, most of all, extra-ordinary. And now, after an exciting first season, I’m pleased to announce that Season 2 of the Extra-Ordinary Leaders podcast is nearly here! In this new series, my focus is on the concept of leadership connection. I believe that connection to self, our teams and our business goals is the key to unlocking business growth. I will unpack what connection means in business development, why it is key to growth and creativity, and how it can provide you with a competitive edge while preventing burnout. We will discover how to unlock complete connection so that our leadership, our teams and our results are easier, more energising and more impactful. Join me in this journey and dial up your connection by listening to Season 2 of Extra-Ordinary Leaders.

"You can achieve as much change as you have the leadership conviction for." These wise words were shared by Edwina Pike of Pike Squared on the most recent episode of The Change Management Review™ Podcast. As Edwina shares in the episode: If leaders aren't ready to lead change at their organizations… They're going to tackle it with a half-baked approach. Which means they’re not going to be fully brought-in or emotionally connected to creating this change. And this half-baked approach is going to be clearly visible to the rest of the team. If you are working with leaders who aren't committed to the process or always wait until the last minute to get involved... Listen to my interview with Edwina. We dive into: ➡️ The key role leaders play in enabling organizational change. ➡️ The crisis in leadership development that stops leaders from effectively handling change. ➡️ Practical and easy-to-implement “Brain hacks” that encourage leaders to get more deeply involved in change management at their organizations. ➡️ And more!
