  • #74 Meditation as a tool for leaders with Susan Grandfield

    #74 Meditation as a tool for leaders with Susan Grandfield
    Jul 17 2025
    In this episode, I’m joined by leadership coach and mindfulness teacher Susan Grandfield for a conversation that blends personal insight, scientific rigour, and deep practicality of meditation.

    We explore why meditation isn’t just a wellness fad or spiritual escape, but a practical, evidence-based tool for leaders navigating complexity, overwhelm, and continuous partial attention.

    Susan brings both academic and lived experience, and together we discuss:
    • The different types of meditation (and how to find the one that suits you)
    • Why a consistent 10-minute practice can genuinely shift your leadership presence
    • What neuroscience reveals about time, focus, and decision-making
    • How meditation strengthens creativity, resilience, and moral courage
    Susan is an experienced leadership and mindset coach and has worked internationally with senior leaders, managers and with teams in corporate and SME organisations for over 20 years.

    In that time, she has had the opportunity to work in the public, private and third sectors and across a diverse range of industries. Susan’s coaching is based on the power of inner work. It is rooted in the perspective that to change things on the outside, we need to start with what is going on on the inside.

    She holds a Master’s degree in Studies in Mindfulness, is a qualified and experienced mindfulness and compassion coach and has been published on the subject of mindfulness and compassion in business in journals and the book “Mindful Heroes: stories of journeys that changed lives.

    Her suggestions for starting or supporting your meditation journey are:

  • #73 Executive Search in a Changing World with Jamie Livingston

    #73 Executive Search in a Changing World with Jamie Livingston
    Jun 26 2025
    In this episode, I’m joined by Jamie Livingston, Founder and CEO of Livingston James Group and Co-Chair of the youth leadership charity Columba 1400.

    Jamie brings decades of experience placing senior leaders into C-suite and board-level roles. In our conversation, he reflects on how leadership expectations have evolved from the traditional command-and-control model to the need for leaders who are purpose-led, agile, and capable of navigating complexity, paradox, and moral dilemmas.

    We explore:
    • What organisations are really looking for in executive leaders today
    • The tension between competency-based assessment and deeper human capacities
    • How Livingston James has embedded purpose through ownership, structure, and values
    • The role of moral courage in leadership
    • The importance of early moral and intellectual development, with a nod to the German idea of Bildung and Jamie’s work with young people through Columba 1400

    This is a wide-ranging and thoughtful conversation about leadership as principled action—especially in times of disruption.

  • #72 Lessons in ethical leadership from the Netflix drama, Toxic Town

    #72 Lessons in ethical leadership from the Netflix drama, Toxic Town
    Jun 12 2025
    In this solo episode, I explore what the Netflix drama Toxic Town can teach us about moral leadership.

    Using James Rest’s Four-Component Model of ethical decision-making, I contrast two characters - Roy Thomas and Sam Hagen - and examine how their choices offer a powerful lens for executive leaders navigating complexity, responsibility, and risk.

    This episode is especially relevant for anyone in a leadership role asking:
    • What makes ethical action possible?
    • How do status and proximity to power shape our moral clarity?
    • And what can we do to develop the courage to act when it counts?

    If you read my recent Suite Spot newsletter, this conversation will take the thinking a step deeper.

    🎧 Listen in to reflect on the anatomy of moral failure - and what it takes to lead with integrity.
