Mentors To Executives Worldwide

This week we begin a three part discussion with Tammy Alvarez – a guest we have been trying to catch up with for over a year! Tammy talks with Kim and Fulyana about when is the “right” time to change a job or a career as well as the relative importance of industry specific experience […]

In the final part of our discussion with Lisa Tromba about “Mind Knots”, Kim and Fulyana explore the value of self reflection for managers and leaders to help identify and channel biases, particularly the ego-centric ones.

Kim and Fulyana continue their discussion with Lisa Tromba about “biases” and “mind knots”. This week we look at how that can affect recruitment as much as leadership of teams.

Kim and Fulyana begin a three part discussion with Lisa Tromba around the “leadership lens” and decision making biases. There is much food for thought in this first part, particularly for when we are recruiting executives and senior managers.

Another of our “quick” topic discussions whilst waiting for a guest to arrive. This time, as a result of some less than positive customer experiences for Kim, she and Fulyana talk about how you can make a better online customer experience happen and why it needs to be done for your bottom line. Yes, it […]

Whilst waiting for a guest to arrive, Kim and Fulyana had a discussion about “wearing a mistake”. Both had examples of how much there is to gain by taking individual responsibility to ensure a customer/client negative experience can be turned around. When the guest failed to appear they decided to record their thoughts to share […]

In the final part of our conversation with Dalmo Cirne, Kim and Fulyana hear about the options for developing new leaders, whether they are new to the workforce or subject matter experts that are now taking on a management role. We also hear why a someone with such a mathematical mind would pursue the often […]

In Part 2 of our discussion with Dalmo Cirne, Kim and Fulyana explore the source of “management streams”, the importance of team core values and the impact of AI as a change agent.

This week we begin a three part discussion with Dalmo Cirne about management streams. Do you know the essential roles needed for any team? Can you, as an individual, fill more than one role with your skillset?

This week we have a case study submitted by a listener who asks for suggestions on managing a work situation where he feels a peer is exhibiting “unprofessional” behaviour. Kim and Fulyana discuss the particular case study as well as other areas that might be considered “unprofessional” amongst peers in the workplace.

In another of our “review” questions from 2017, Kim and Fulyana look at the perennial question of how to “switch off” from thinking about work. Do you really need to? Fulyana’s responses might surprise you!

As a follow on from last week’s Case Study and as part of our review series from the 20 questions of 2017, Kim and Fulyana look at how to manage a team that has been brought back in to an office environment. There are so many factors contributing to a cohesive team, if you actually […]

In another case study from a listener, Kim and Fulyana look at ways a leader new to a team and an organisation can address the management of that team which appears to be demotivated by constant change and demanding deadlines.

We begin a series of “review” podcasts this week by looking back at some questions from 2017 that we promised to revisit…..and haven’t done so! Today is about managing interruptions, whether they are considered good or bad. Can you clearly identify what an interruption is for you?

This week we have a case study from a listener who is concerned that his relationship with his boss has changed – he is feeling “ignored” in the sense of a marked lessening of interaction. Kim and Fulyana look at not just how this can be addressed but why it might be happening and whether […]

In the final part of our conversation, Kim and Fulyana hear about the value of “material analysis” across the whole of an organisation and how that can incorporate sustainability, in business terms, in areas such as gender/pay equality, transport, logistics and resourcing. We also get a sneak preview of the next book…..

We continue our conversation with John Pabon about sustainability, this week looking at the topic we didn’t have time for in our 2023 discussion – stakeholders. Kim and Fulyana learn about the three rings of stakeholders and why taking time, lots of time, to listen to them, is vital for all areas of business.

John Pabon returns for another series of 3 podcasts to answer listeners’ questions and talk about sustainability, greenwashing, greenscamming and more. This week Kim and Fulyana present one of the more interesting scenarios sent in by a listener.

In the final part of our discussion with John Tarnoff we learn how to identify our own “superpower” in terms of our careers. Jamie shares his journey to realise his “superpower” and we end by understanding that we are not human “beings” but rather human “becomings”!

We continue our discussion with John Tarnoff and guest host, Jamie Wadley, this week looking at how to plan a career transition later in your working life. There is also talk about whether this transition/change needs to be dramatic, in the sense of a completely new path, or whether it can be a refinement of […]
