Today's episode is for you if you have ever beaten yourself up about not making enough progress, waiting until you hit that end goal before you celebrate.

Do you ever find yourself saying 'I don't have enough time'? Over the past 20 years of working with passionate world-changers, it's the single biggest excuse I have heard for us not taking the actions our dreams demand of us. And if we do take those actions, we end up in exhaustion and overwhelm.

Soul Led Leaders

Discover my personal 7-stage secret for leading through change and how to create breakthroughs, fast.

What Does It Really Take, To Create A Level Playing Field? [Episode 1]

Soul Led Leaders

What does it really take to create a level playing field? One where everybody has the same opportunity to grow and thrive and shine, based on who they are and what they most love doing and their real inner talents, rather than the environment and culture around them? 

It takes more than inclusion. It takes more than doing what we've done before and expecting different results. It takes more than logic and common sense. How to do this - and more - is waiting for you in today's episode of the Soul Led Leaders podcast.

What You'll Cover Today On Creating A Level Playing Field:

  • What running the Lockdown Leadership Conference taught me about creating a level playing field in organisations - in ways I hadn't previously considered
  • How this goes beyond the workplace
  • The effect of lockdown and the Covid-19 pandemic on the level playing field and how we need to consider this, as teams exit from lockdown
  • The two primary causes of the lack of a level playing field - and why you don't need to be the CEO to start making a difference - today
  • Why 'equality' is not the answer: and what we need instead
