What will it take to thrive as a leader in 2025? The answer isn’t rooted in authority or credentials—it lies in six transformative qualities that are reshaping the very essence of leadership.

To uncover these qualities, we engaged with 24 of the foremost experts in workplace dynamics—renowned researchers, authors, and thought leaders. From these conversations, a clear picture emerged: six defining traits leaders must embrace to stay ahead.

The old playbook, which favored technical know-how and rank, no longer holds. In today’s unpredictable environment, the idea of leadership has undergone a seismic shift. Skills once dismissed as “soft” are now essential, and these six qualities are the cornerstone for navigating the challenges of the future workplace.

Join us for this conversation where we unpack the six critical skills leaders need to be successful in 2025, and beyond!

We live in a world that feels so divided. Where cancel culture is rife. And where righteously offering our own opinion rather than trying to find common ground has become the norm. So how do we connect to those around us, how do we find the common thread that can bring us back together?

In this conversation we extend to you the invitation to rethink and recalibrate how we treat one another in what is a deeply moving conversation with Justin Jones-Fosu.

Justin not only helps us understand how to Respectfully Disagree in this conversation, but he helped us reconnect to our common humanity, and recognise that despite the surface-level differences we each have, be it politically, religiously, culturally – this common humanity is something much much more important and profound. And something we each have a responsibility for acknowledging.

This conversation was quite emotional for us and left us speechless – something that we’ve never experienced.

Justin is so much more than a brilliant author and speaker, he’s truly an exemplar of Human Leadership, and a beacon of light that inspired us to want to do better and be better. Our advice to you, create the time and space to really HEAR and FEEL this conversation. The wisdom in this conversation will change how you live and lead and if allow it. Our hope is that you emerge from this conversation feeling more connected to yourself, and everyone one around you as we did. Let’s dive in.

When you think of Buddhist meditation, you might not immediately see the connection with great leadership and a healthy workplace culture. And yet, today's guest illuminates just how profound and perhaps even essential a consistent meditation practice is for modern leaders.

And the good news is it's also highly accessible for all of us. In today’s episode we’re speaking with Lodro Rinzler, the award winning author of seven books, including The Buddha Walks Into a Bar, The Buddha Walks Into the Office, and Take Back Your Mind, Buddhist Advice for Anxious Times.

Lodro has taught meditation for more than 20 years in the Buddhist tradition, is the co founder of MNDFL Meditation Studios, and speaks across the world at conferences, universities, and seminars. And businesses as diverse as Google, Harvard University, and the White House. There's plenty of science to show that meditation has an enormously positive impact on individuals and teams in terms of stress reduction.

In this conversation, you'll learn a bunch of other benefits, which have less to do with KPIs, And more to do with a more meaningful life.

And from 394:00 to 40:00 you'll have a chance to try a guided meditation practice for yourself.

A few years back, a best selling book appeared about why we shouldn’t worry about the little things in life: Don’t Sweat the small stuff. And it's a tempting premise: as leaders we often focus on the macro.

Our guest today poses the question: what if some small stuff is worth sweating? What if sometimes it's the micro-interactions that can lead to maximum impact in how we build relationships, foster trust, and deepen connections at work and beyond?

In this conversation we are speaking with Sarah Langslow, executive coach, leadership development specialist and author of the brilliant new book, “Do Sweat the Small Stuff: Harnessing the power of micro-interactions to transform your leadership”

We get granular on the often unrecognized power of micro interactions to impact our relationships, our leadership and the culture we create. We explore what it means to practice self awareness and congruence, and how we can ensure we truly and consistently align our intentions with our impacts.
