Podcasts about bold leadership

What do we do when the ground is unstable and information is incomplete? We are told to wait for the right conditions. But what if waiting costs more than acting? The real risk is failing to achieve your purpose.Welcome to Pharma Minds, Summer Series "Executing differently takes courage". I chose this specific conversation because Marc is the one who speaks best about what execution requires when the context refuses to stabilize. Through his experience, I wanted to explore what it concretely costs to actually do what you said you would do. His answer is very simple: we trust the ground and move forward. It reveals that accepting certain departures, stopping certain projects, and changing directions are the necessary costs of executing with integrity. Marc Gailhardou (who has since been appointed President Intercontinental Region at MSD) brings this perspective from his role leading the EEMEA zone for MSD, while also serving on the board of the digital health startup The Resilience in Oncology. Tasked with managing a geographical area consisting of 25 percent of the world's population, his impossible context is one of permanent volatility. From maintaining operations across war zones to meeting the demands of emerging economies, he proves that long-term vision requires immediate, bold action. In this episode, we cover:◾️Leading Through Volatility : Managing safety, compliance, and operations across the diverse EEMEA region.◾️The Appetite for the Future : Why high-growth markets embrace bold strategies while mature markets hesitate.◾️Career as a Marathon : Moving out of your comfort zone, creating options, and knowing when it is time to transition.◾️Corporate to Startup : Gaining agility, speed, and new perspectives through board roles at organizations like The Resilience in Oncology.◾️Clarity Over Brutality : Focusing on the task rather than attacking the person to lead with respect.Execution without stability is rarely comfortable. It demands hard choices and decisive momentum. Clarity wins over caution every time.

In this inspiring episode of Develop This!, host Dennis Fraise sits down with Mark C. Perna to explore the power of bold thinking, visionary leadership, and rallying people around big ideas. Drawing on their shared fascination with the Apollo program, they unpack how the audacity of aiming for the moon transformed not just science—but an entire generation's mindset. From the iconic leadership behind the Apollo 11 Moon Landing to the forward-looking ambitions of the Artemis Program, this conversation connects the dots between space exploration and the work economic developers do every day: building momentum, inspiring communities, and executing bold visions. Mark and Dennis reflect on cultural touchpoints, childhood wonder, and even the small details—yes, including Tang—that made space exploration feel personal and powerful. If you're working to energize your community, align stakeholders, or inspire the next generation, this episode offers a compelling reminder: big progress starts with big ideas. Takeaway The moon landing wasn't just a technological achievement—it was a masterclass in leadership, collaboration, and belief. For today's economic and community developers, the lesson is clear: when you set bold goals and invite others into the vision, you create momentum that can move mountains… or even reach the moon.

Zana Goic Petricevic pivoted from a successful corporate career to find her true calling - coaching bold leadership. Zana's career change came about after being fired from a corporate director role for being "blunt" with the chairman, which she reframed as a necessary catalyst for her true calling. Now, a successful coach, she has developed the "SOUL" Framework: Zana's leadership model focuses on four "playgrounds": Self (inner beliefs), Others (relationships), Universe (system/culture), and Legacy (lasting impact).A key coaching goal is helping leaders shift from a victim mindset ("this is happening to me") to one of agency ("I have a choice"), seeing change as an opportunity, not a threat. And she subscribes to the "Fake It 'Til You Become It" method. Zana advocates for taking risks before feeling 100% ready, citing her own experience of accepting a keynote speech before ever having delivered one.Summary of PodcastThe Catalyst: A Corporate ExitZana's career in oil and gas ended abruptly when she was fired from her Corporate Communications Director role for being "blunt" with the chairman.This unplanned exit caused a significant identity crisis, as her professional role was central to her sense of self.A key realisation came when applying for lower-level jobs and being told she was overqualified, confirming that her corporate path was permanently closed.Reframing: Zana views this event as a "planting" rather than a "burying"—a necessary end that enabled a new beginning.The Pivot: From Corporate to CoachingThe turning point was a 2016 co-active coaching course in London, which introduced her to a new type of conversation where she felt "seen, heard, and able to express myself."This experience revealed her passion → bringing these authentic conversations into organizations.To make this "fluffy" concept palatable to the corporate world, she supplemented her training with psychometric tests and other data-driven tools.Business Launch: With nothing to lose, Zana embraced networking and relationship-building—skills she had previously avoided—to secure her first clients.The "SOUL" Framework for Bold LeadershipZana's coaching framework guides leaders through four interconnected "playgrounds":S - Self: Understanding one's inner world (beliefs, values, patterns).O - Others: Building effective relationships through honest, kind communication.U - Universe: Navigating and shaping the organizational system and culture.L - Legacy: Defining one's lasting impact ("What stays when you go?").Legacy Defined: Legacy is not just measurable results but also the intangible impact on people and culture.Analogy: "Leaders bring the weather," creating either sunshine or storm. This "weather" is their legacy.Mindset & The Future of LeadershipCore Coaching Goal: Help leaders shift from a victim mindset to one of agency, seeing change as an opportunity rather than a threat."Fake It 'Til You Become It": Zana advocates for taking risks before feeling 100% ready, citing her own experience of accepting a keynote speech before ever having delivered one.AI & Technology: Zana sees AI as a tool that forces conscious choice, helping leaders define what they want to keep agency over and what to delegate.The Next 100 Days Podcast Co-HostsGraham ArrowsmithGraham founded Finely Fettled in 2014 to provide data from The UK High Net Worth Database to marketers targeting affluent and high-net-worth customers.

Send us Fan MailYou can hear a whole philosophy of change hidden inside one simple move: Put the bike where you can see it. That is the kind of practical, human behaviour design we get into with Mike Coulter, a lifelong Creative who's worked across advertising, helped shape projects at the DO Lectures, and now teaches tools for building 'Tiny Habits' that actually stick.We start with the stories that made Mike: Growing up in Yorkshire, learning his dad's rule for a good job, cutting his teeth at a local newspaper, then spotting the world of advertising and chasing it hard. Along the way we talk about the craft behind great creative work, why the best ideas often arrive away from the desk, and how places like Cornwall's Camel Trail and the Atlantic can become thinking environments that support focus, calm, and better decisions.Then we go deep on BJ Fogg, Stanford, the Tiny Habits Method, and what changed for Mike when he stopped trying to “motivate himself” and started making behaviours easier to do. We explore behaviour matching, prompts, ability, and the ethics of influence, plus why so many products win by serving people who already want the outcome. If you care about habit formation, productivity, mental health, marketing psychology, or simply building a healthier routine without burnout, you'll leave with clear takeaways you can test immediately.Find more of Mike's work at https://www.habitualise.com, and if you enjoy the conversation, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

I'm thrilled to share some incredible insights from my latest podcast episode with the legendary Brian Dunn. Brian's journey from a frontline associate to CEO of Best Buy is nothing short of inspiring. Here are some key takeaways that I believe will spark your curiosity and encourage you to tune in:1. The Power of Listening and Mentorship  • Early Lessons: Brian's first job in a grocery store taught him the value of listening and caring about what people think. His mentor, Kenny, showed him that great leadership starts with a genuine human connection.  • Mentorship Impact: Brian emphasizes the importance of mentors who help you see your strengths and build on them. He believes that everyone should find mentors to open new opportunities and overcome imposter syndrome.2. Navigating Transformations and Challenges  • Leadership During Change: Brian shared his experience leading Best Buy through massive shifts, including moving from commission-based sales to non-commission. He highlights the importance of resilience and holding paradoxical thoughts without going insane.  • Scaling with People in Mind: As Best Buy grew from 8 to 441 stores, Brian kept the focus on people, ensuring that human connection remained central to the company's culture.3. Embracing AI and Technology  • AI's Role in Leadership: Brian sees AI as a tool to open up new capacities and opportunities, not just a means to cut costs. He believes AI will make human skills like empathy and judgment even more crucial.  • Future of Work: AI will allow us to do things faster and better, but it will never replace the need for leaders to care about their employees and manage crises with heart.4. Culture, Trust, and Values  • Human Connection: Brian insists that as organizations grow, leaders must fight the drift away from the human side. He believes that trust, judgment, empathy, and values are profoundly human responsibilities that technology cannot replace.  • Core Values as a Compass: For Brian, family, faith, and friendships are central. He stresses that if a situation requires violating core values, it's a sign to leave that situation.5. Bold Leadership and Risk-Taking  • Brave Fish Metaphor: Brian uses the metaphor of brave fish taking risks wisely to describe the competitive business environment. He warns against complacency and emphasizes the need for leaders to keep pushing forward.  • Strategic Thinking: Boards should look for leaders who are bold, willing to take calculated risks, and surround themselves with diverse perspectives to sharpen strategies.6. Personal Legacy and Success  • Defining Success: For Brian, success is about the positive impact he leaves on the world and the people he interacts with. He cherishes his role as a father and values the time and freedom to engage meaningfully with his family.  • The Most Important Podcast Ever: Brian's podcast highlights ordinary people doing extraordinary things, emphasizing the importance of human stories in leadership and culture.7. Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs  • Just Do It: Brian encourages young entrepreneurs to take action without hesitation. He believes the only real barrier to success is oneself and stresses the importance of moving quickly, showing up, listening, and learning.I hope these insights have piqued your interest! Brian's journey and wisdom are truly inspiring, and I'm excited for you to hear the full conversation.

In this episode of 2B Bolder, I sit down with Sandy Carter, Chief Business Officer at Unstoppable Domains, former AWS and IBM executive, Forbes contributor, and author of AI First, Human Always.We talk about what it really means to take smart risks, build influence through visibility, and lead in fast-moving spaces like AI and Web3, even when you don't feel 100 percent “ready.”Sandy shares pivotal career moments, including a $5 billion bet that didn't seem obvious at the time, and the lessons she learned about arriving early, staying late, and taking ownership before permission is granted. We reframe visibility, not as self-promotion, but as credibility, narrative control, and leadership when the stakes are high.We also dig deep into what an AI-first, human-always mindset actually looks like in practice. Sandy explains why AI should start with business outcomes, not tools, and how leaders can redesign workflows, decisions, and customer experiences with AI as the lever, while keeping human judgment firmly in control. From pressure-testing arguments to accelerating research, we talk about where AI adds leverage and where humans must always own voice, values, and accountability.This conversation gets refreshingly real. Sandy shares stories about AI agents quietly changing their own limits, robots learning the wrong behaviors by watching humans, and why simple guardrails, human-in-the-loop oversight, logging, and escalation paths matter more than flashy demos. We also explore why building your own agents, not just relying on ChatGPT, is becoming essential for leaders who want real control and resilience.Finally, Sandy walks through the origin of Unstoppable Women of Web3 and AI and the powerful three-part formula behind it: education, tribe, and recognition, a model that has trained tens of thousands of women and dismantled the tired excuse of “we can't find qualified women.”If you're a senior leader navigating responsible innovation, or a rising builder wondering if now is the moment to step forward, this episode offers a clear message: lead while you learn, act before consensus, and put guardrails in place so innovation compounds instead of derails.If this conversation resonated, share it with someone who needs a nudge to be bolder, and leave a review telling me the bold move you're committing to this week.Resources: Sandy's Profile linkedin.com/in/sandyacarterBooksBySandy.comsocialmediasandy.wordpress.com/

What if the very things you're most ashamed of are actually your superpowers? In this powerful conversation, business coach and podcast host Katie Grimes opens up about growing up in a home impacted by alcoholism, being relentlessly bullied, hating her body, and surviving sexual assault, and how she turned all of it into fuel for the life and business she has now. Katie now helps entrepreneurs (especially those with ADHD) build businesses that feel safe, spacious, and wildly successful, without burning themselves out or abandoning their needs. Together, we explore how the patterns we learn as teens, people pleasing, perfectionism, hyper-independence, and hiding our feelings, quietly shape our leadership as adults… and how we can change the story. If you're a teen, parent, educator, or leader who's ever felt “too much,” “not enough,” or like your past disqualifies you from leadership, this episode will hit home in the best way. In this episode, we talk about: How bullying, body image struggles, and growing up around addiction shaped Katie's self-worth The moment she realized perfectionism is not a flex, it's a survival response What no one tells teens about nervous systems, freeze/people-pleasing, and why we pretend everything is “fine” How Katie rebuilt her life after sexual assault, grief, and being let go from corporate The shift from “I'm a burden” to “I'm allowed to ask for help” Finding safe and trusted adults, and what that actually looks and feels like Why the things that come easiest to you are your greatest leadership gifts How Katie went from all of this… to building a $550k+ coaching business and helping 100,000+ people Connect with Katie Grimes Instagram & TikTok: @kg.katiegrimes Podcast – Anything for Love: https://www.katiegrimes.com/podcast Website & Coaching: https://www.katiegrimes.com/ If something in this episode resonated and you'd like a free coaching session with Katie, email support@katiegrimes.com and mention this episode of Leaders of Today: Teens to Titans.

We dig into what it actually takes to grow a company beyond the startup phase, the realities of leadership, and why blending creativity with discipline is the ultimate entrepreneurial advantage. Whether you're just starting your journey or scaling past 7+ figures, this episode will light a fire under you. What You'll Hear in This Episode: Scarlett's journey from CPA to scaling businesses to $600M+ in revenue The hardest transitions in growth: why the leap from $500M to $1B is the steepest The essential business/logical skills every entrepreneur should cultivate (finance, ops, HR, ecom) Why creative intuition is equally critical, and how Scarlett balances both sides The danger of staying loyal to team members who can't scale with the business How to hire and assess talent at each stage of growth The role of grit, adaptability, and willingness to learn in long-term success Cross-functional leadership: why marketing, supply chain, and finance must all communicate Scarlett's reflections on community, connection, and creating opportunities for collaboration Why You Should Listen Think like a $600M operator — learn what separates hobbyist entrepreneurs from leaders who scale into the hundreds of millions. Spot your own ceiling — understand when you might be the bottleneck, and how to bring in the right people to take your business higher. Balance logic with creativity — discover why finance, ops, and HR matter just as much as vision, innovation, and connection.

“Take more risks. Take them early and often.” “I think a generous leader is someone that looks at you for the long view and they see you.” “Generosity is having the courage to also have that moment when you have to deliver that moment that isn't inspiring, the honest truth that we all sometimes need to hear as well… and encourage them along the way.”   Episode summary | In this episode of ROG, Shannon Cassidy speaks with Gemma Toner, founder and CEO of Tone Networks, about her journey from being an immigrant in the U.S. to becoming a leader in the tech and media industries.

The conversation wraps up with rapid-fire questions that reveal Gemma's personal philosophies and favorite resources.   R.O.G. Takeaway Tips | Generosity in leadership is about seeing potential in others. Feedback is a gift that can lead to personal growth. Taking risks early in your career can open new doors.

Are you struggling to build the vibrant culture you want because you're still clinging to old habits? In this episode of the Leadership Sandbox, Tammy J. Bond directly challenges leaders to stop "babysitting dysfunction" and confront the "pink elephant" in the room. Tammy argues that you can't build a bold new future by dragging around yesterday's playbook. Culture doesn't change by decree; it changes by disruption. This episode is a call to action for leaders to stop over-analyzing their culture like a crime scene and start renovating it for the future. Tammy provides a clear-eyed look at how complacency, old habits, and the fear of stepping outside the status quo can create the very dysfunction you say you want to escape. Learn how to boldly break old rules, expose toxic behaviors (regardless of who is responsible), and build a culture of clarity, creativity, and grit. It's time to stop feeding the beast and start leading the change you want to see. Key Takeaways for Leaders: Babysitting Dysfunction: Recognize when you're not leading culture change, but instead maintaining dysfunction by clinging to old habits. The Power of Disruption: Understand that change happens when you disrupt what makes unhealthy behaviors comfortable and normal. Your Leadership, Your Culture: Be aware that the culture you allow to exist is the culture you are actively leading. Legacy vs. Leadership: Stop maintaining the status quo for job protection and start embracing the bold, creative work of true leadership. Ask the Right Questions: Shift your focus by asking, "What kind of behaviors does our future demand?" instead of dwelling on the past. Break One Rule: Challenge yourself to break one rule of your old culture this week that no longer serves your team's future. Titles Don't Matter: Gain the courage to address toxic behavior regardless of who is perpetrating it, remembering that people and productivity matter most. Mindset is Everything: Stop over-analyzing your culture like a crime scene and start approaching it as a renovation project for the future. In This Episode, You'll Learn: How to identify and stop "feeding the beast" of old, toxic habits. The critical difference between "culture change" and "culture cosplay." Strategies for shifting your team's energy from complacent to creative. Why your courage to be different is the single most important factor in cultural transformation. How to use a "list of rules" audit to expose and eliminate old, unhelpful practices. Call to Action: Culture change is hard, and you don't have to do it alone.
