S3 13: The Cost of Avoidance: Why Real Leadership Means Facing The Hard Stuff With Tanya Gallagher 41:41

منذ 7 أيام41:41

41:41

This week I’m joined by Tanya Gallagher, MD and founder of Limitless Leadership, an award-winning leadership development consultancy. Tanya brings a wealth of wisdom to the space of leadership development, and what stood out to me most in our conversation is just how practical and human her definition of extra-Ordinary leadership is. We dig into the difference between good, bad, and terrible leadership, and what it really means to take ownership. It’s a conversation that will shift how you see your role as a leader. We discuss psychological safety, promotion dynamics, and the underrated power of what Tanya calls “contracting conversations”—those small yet powerful exchanges that can transform working relationships. If you've ever avoided a conversation because it felt awkward, if you’ve ever felt resentment building under the surface, or if you're leading people without ever asking what they need from you, this episode is for you. 🔗 Connect with Tanya: https://www.limitless-ltd.com/ Inside The Episode: What it really means to “go beyond” as an extra-Ordinary leader How to spot bad and even terrible leadership (in yourself too) Why avoidance is the silent killer of team culture How to lead when you’ve been promoted within your peer group The art of the “contracting conversation”—and why it’s essential Why leadership is often hidden, unglamorous, and deeply human Coaching advice for leaders who’ve never had difficult conversations Creating urgency around what’s truly important in leadership How to rewire your mindset around responsibility, communication and growth If this episode sparked something in you—if you’re realising there’s a new standard of leadership you want to step into—get in touch. I partner with leaders to help them go again and again. New mindset. New behaviours. Real results.

S3 12: Vision Is a Space: Reframing Leadership for a Wiser Tomorrow with Oleg Konovalov 1:03:03

منذ 21 يومًا1:03:03

1:03:03

You’re in for a treat. This week I’m joined by the incredible Oleg Konovalov — a globally respected business educator, leadership expert, and author of The Vision Code . Oleg doesn’t just talk about leadership; he embodies it through his work helping C-suite leaders across the world create meaningful, enduring impact. In this episode, we take apart the familiar terms — vision, value, strategy — and rebuild them with depth, clarity and fresh meaning. We explore how leadership is not about ego or output, but about building a space others want to grow into. Oleg generously shares the "CAVIAR" model — a framework for visionary leadership grounded in wisdom and impact. If you’ve ever struggled to define your aspirations versus your desires, or want to learn how to craft a vision that inspires others, this conversation is for you. You can find out more about Oleg and his brilliant work at olegkonovalov.com Inside This Episode: What it really means to add value as a leader The distinction between desire and aspiration Why vision is a space , not a statement The "CAVIAR" model for practical visionary leadership How wisdom trumps intelligence in business The difference between inspiration and motivation The role of simplicity and space in decision-making Reclaiming fear and redefining what it means to ‘play big’ Mentioned In This Episode: The Vision Code by Oleg Konovalov Connect with Oleg on LinkedIn The extra-Ordinary Leader: 12 Tactics for Finding Your Extra in Business, Leadership, and Life…

S3 11: From Feedback to Fire: Kate Thrumble on Why extra-Ordinary Leadership Starts Small 37:57

منذ 5 weeks37:57

37:57

This week, I’m joined by Kate Thrumble, SVP and Head of People and Experience at VaynerMedia – a creative agency where leadership is lived out daily in real, human ways. In this episode, Kate shares what it means to lead not with the weight of being the “log”, but as the kindling – the spark that ignites others. We talk candidly about feedback, connection, culture, performance and the sweet spot between kindness and accountability. Kate brings such clarity to what I often see muddied in corporate rhetoric: how the "ordinary things done well" truly are the markers of extra-Ordinary leadership. From practical tools like quarterly reviews and personality insights, to the deeper philosophical shifts required to build businesses that feel like spring – full of light, momentum and growth – this conversation is rich with wisdom and grounded honesty. We also explore what it takes to create a happy, high-performing team, how Vayner Media balances business with deep respect for people, and what they call the marriage of the honey and the empire. Inside This Episode: What extra-Ordinary leadership really means Why the "little things" done consistently create the biggest impact The relationship between happiness and high performance Feedback as a normal rhythm, not a big scary ‘thing’ The shift from annual reviews to quarterly check-ins Using tools and coaching styles to build culture Creating ‘spring-like’ businesses where people thrive The art of kind candour and the analogy of the lob, the loiter and the lasso How Kate defines the role of experience in people leadership Being the kindling, not the log – a beautiful metaphor for modern leadership Mentions & Links: VaynerMedia – Creative & Media Agency Insights Discovery (personality profiling tool) Performance Climate System (team performance tool) My Book – The extra-Ordinary Leader: 12 Tactics for Finding Your Extra in Business, Leadership, and Life…

S3 10: Legacy and Craft: Walpole's Helen Brocklebank on the Mindset of extra-Ordinary Leadership 40:38

منذ 7 weeks40:38

40:38

In this episode of The extra-Ordinary Leader , I had the enormous pleasure of speaking with Helen Brocklebank, CEO of Walpole—the official body for British luxury. Helen works closely with over 250 of the UK’s most iconic high-end brands, and in our conversation, she shares the leadership behaviours, values, and mindset that make these businesses so resilient and remarkable. We explored what we can all borrow from the luxury sector—whether we’re running heritage businesses or leading fast-paced teams with no historical playbook. Helen spoke beautifully about creativity, long-term thinking, emotional intelligence, and the importance of knowing your own strengths. She also reminded me why storytelling, craftsmanship, and deep human connection remain at the heart of excellent leadership. You’ll hear us reflect on everything from scented candles and bespoke tailoring to the power of fiction and the role of culture in the workplace. Whether you lead a team of two or two thousand, this episode is full of insights to help you lead with clarity, creativity and care. Inside This Episode: What working with 250 luxury CEOs has taught Helen about extra-Ordinary leadership Why understanding your own strengths is the foundation of influence The long-term mindset behind British luxury’s £81 billion impact Why fiction (yes, even Jilly Cooper!) can sharpen your leadership instincts How resilience, creativity, and curiosity define high-performance leadership What leaders in fast fashion and retail can borrow from heritage brands The value of “dual thinking”: acting in the now while planning for the next How memory-making and sensory detail create unforgettable customer experiences Why culture-building and empowerment matter more than ever Mentions & Links: Walpole – https://www.thewalpole.co.uk Learn more about Attachment Theory – https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-attachment-theory-2795337 Black Box Thinking by Matthew Syed – https://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Box-Thinking-Surprising-Success/dp/1473613779…

S3 09: Mountains, Mindsets and Mastery: The Small Steps of an extra-Ordinary Life with Cathy O'Dowd 45:34

منذ 9 weeks45:34

45:34

In this episode of The extra-Ordinary Leader , I’m joined by the incredible Cathy O'Dowd – the first woman to climb Mount Everest from both the north and south sides. But this conversation isn’t just about physical mountains; it’s about the emotional and professional peaks we all face. Cathy’s story is one of grit, humility and mindset, and I couldn’t have been more inspired by the way she talks about doing extra-Ordinary things by simply taking the next right step. Whether it’s writing a book, leading a business, or learning to kitesurf at 42 (yes, I really did that), this conversation is a reminder that success is not about fairy dust – it’s about steady, consistent, powerful choices. We spoke about what happens when life feels like a cul-de-sac, when perfectionism gets in the way of progress, and how sometimes saying yes to uncomfortable opportunities is the very thing that takes you to the next level. Cathy shares how she navigated being parachuted onto the first South African Everest team – as the only woman – and how she’s learned to let go of the “token” label and find confidence through action. We also dove into the power of physical challenge – why sports like climbing or kitesurfing can be an antidote to rumination, stress, and even imposter syndrome. Cathy had so much wisdom to share about how we lead ourselves and others, how we perform under pressure, and why empathy isn’t a gift – it’s a tool. This one will stick with me for a long time, and I hope it stays with you too. Inside this episode: What extra-Ordinary leadership really means Why we need to let go of perfectionism How to reframe tokenism and self-doubt The difference between stress responses – and how to manage them Why physical adventure can transform your mindset How to use empathy as a tool – especially in high-stakes leadership The 'STOP' technique Cathy uses in moments of pressure The surprising link between coffee, presence, and performance Mentions & Links: Learn more about Cathy: https://www.cathyodowd.com Book Cathy to speak: https://www.cathyodowd.com/keynote-speaking/ My book The extra-Ordinary Leader : https://www.dollywaddell.com/store/p/the-extra-ordinary-leader…

منذ 11 weeks54:33

54:33

In this thought-provoking episode of The extra-Ordinary Leader , I sat down with Daniel Hulme , AI expert and CEO, to explore what leadership looks like in the age of artificial intelligence, data-driven decisions, and flatter, decentralised organisations. Together, we unravelled: Why extra-Ordinary leadership starts with getting out of the way How to use AI to surface team dynamics and friction points What digital twins are (and why your employees might love them) How to lead without hierarchy Practical ways to integrate AI into leadership, L&D, and performance management The power of frameworks (data → information → knowledge → understanding → wisdom) Why pressure should come from clients, not internal politics Daniel also shares how his leadership philosophy has been influenced by Jean-Luc Picard , agile methods, and a desire to grow organisations that get faster and smarter with scale. If you’re a leader looking for practical wisdom on staying future-fit, creating meaningful work environments, and navigating AI without losing the human touch—this one is for you.
