Exciting announcement for my regular podcast listeners! Alongside foreign affairs and travel episodes, this podcast is going to start to house World-shaping Leadership episodes and I’ve got something exciting happening next week for you. As many of you know, I coach and run leadership training alongside and within my foreign affairs work, and I want to bring some of that inspiration, those strategies and lifehacks to listeners here. So next week – Monday 31st March to Friday 4thApril I’m going to be running a FREE 5-day challenge to kick-start Quarter 2. It’s called ‘Your Week of Possibility’ and its about reshaping your weeks to get ready for your next move – whether you secretly want a new venture, legacy-defining impact, or a complete lifestyle redesign. It starts with redesigning your weeks so they reflect more of you.
