What we cover:
* Common Leadership Blunders: Walt lays out the five big missteps he sees leaders making. He’s big on understanding what leadership really means personally and professionally, and he challenges us to redefine it for ourselves.
* Leadership as a Journey: Leadership isn’t a fixed quality but an evolving journey that reflects our actions and intentions. Walt shares his thoughts on how our understanding of leadership can and should change over time.
* The Right Time for Development: We talk about the importance of starting leadership development early. The more set in our ways we are, the harder it is to adapt and grow.
* Getting Help: We discuss the power of coaching to unearth and change deeply ingrained habits and mindsets that hold us back.
* Learning vs. Development: We explore the difference between just learning new things and actually developing as leaders. How to turn knowledge into action to make real changes in how we lead.

Once you’ve had a listen think about your own leadership style. Are you sticking to old habits? Maybe it’s time for a chat with your team to check out what leadership means to you all.
Back in 2010, when I was just starting my coaching journey, I began seeing how powerful the process was for individuals. I’ve worked with all types of leaders and managers, from underrated heads of finance and recently recruited high potentials, to directors that were heading for burn out.
Watching them grow, develop better habits and improve their relationships is incredible, but what never fails to astound me is the difference those changes can make to the organisation as a whole. It’s a ripple effect that often inspires other members of the team to stand up and seek positive change too.
I’ve seen my clients change their own leadership behaviours and habits, as well as developing the people within their business for the better. It’s always a journey and it’s an absolute privilege to be involved.
