Making time for management with Rob Alderson

Victoria is a podcast and event host, community architect and the founder of Glint - a practice dedicated to designing  interdisciplinary collaboration systems. 

After building communities for ten years, she started researching how communities interact and how information and energy flows between them. What if, instead of thinking of communities as small clusters, we started looking at the creative and tech world as a big, super-connected system, a macro-community? 

In this podcast Victoria shares with us what it takes to curate strong communities. From organizing pan-European start-up festivals to running weekly Creative Mornings events, Victoria knows what it takes to bring people together around a common purpose.

What to look for when building your team | Keji Mustapha

The rise of conscious consumerism means there’s even more need to know where to turn to do the right thing. Today’s guest, Mera McGrew, is the founder of social enterprise Soapply, a sustainable hand wash company. She joins me as we discuss how micro-movements drive change, the mission-driven company’s culture, and making every part of a product purposeful.

After living and working in Africa, Mera saw first-hand the reality of preventable child mortality and the difference that sustainable investments in water, sanitation, and hygiene could have on an individual, community, and region. Returning to the US, the connection was simple — everyone needs soap. Soapply provides consumers premium, toxin-free soap that helps put soap in the hands of those who cannot afford it around the world. As Mera says, “when you stay healthy you have an opportunity to learn, work, and do anything you want to do”.

Richard Watkins | Get More Through Collaborative Working

One of the biggest takeaways we’ve learned from this year is the impact of self-reflection, and protecting regular time and space for this. As leaders it’s very easy to become reactive and think short-term. So in this episode, Gillian and OverTime’s Programme Director and Associate Heather Taylor Portman playback the insights they have gained from running management and leadership programmes in 2019, what they have learned from the process, and what they think managers should focus on going into 2020. 

Hear about practical leadership tools, how OverTime has dealt with lows and leveraged the highs, and what has been learned through facilitating leaders at their ‘Scale Up’ management programme.

Coaching has seen a huge rise in the last few years. But with this rise, comes a need to better understand what the fundamental role of coaching is. In this week’s episode, Dr Sheri Jacobson helps uncover the difference between therapy and coaching, how to find the right coach for you, and coaching in a workplace setting. 

Sheri started her therapy training in 1997, so with an extensive background, including working for the NHS and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she’s the Founder of a UK-wide marketplace, Harley Therapy, where it’s their mission to connect the public with experienced and committed practitioners working to alleviate emotional difficulties and promote psychological health.

How to Bring Product Thinking Into Your Leadership

2020 has been a whirlwind for us all so far. With Covid-19, Black Lives Matter and the economy, it can feel overwhelming as senior executives and entrepreneurs with what we can do (and not do). But if we allow ourselves to be vulnerable and open, the opportunity for growth opens. Today we’re joined by Martin Enault, the co-founder and CEO of Intellitix. We discuss what role we play as leaders in the mental health dialogue, what we’ve learnt from our personal mental health journeys and what we should strive for in entrepreneurship going forward.

A creative business leader with an explorer’s ingenuity and drive, Martin Enault embraces new ways of experiencing the world and doing business differently. As Co-founder and CEO of Intellitix, the first company in the world using RFID for access control and cashless for large events, he’s implemented the technology for festivals such as Coachella, Bonnaroo, Tomorrowland, Lollapalooza and the Quebec City Summer Festival. In 2013 he joined C2 Montreal as COO and CEO Asia-Pacific for C2 International. He’s collaborated with some of the world's leading minds such as Richard Branson, James Cameron, Chelsea Clinton, Snoop Dogg, Yuval Harari and Steve Wozniak, on events he produced in various continents. He was until recently COO of Felix & Paul Studios, an EMMY® Award-winning immersive entertainment studio, where he collaborated on projects such as the first captation in VR within the International Space Station.

Martin has been involved in bringing changes in mental health for the past 11 years. As Chairman of the non-profit Revivre, he has been sharing how his struggles with anxiety and depression have shaped his life and career. He also currently sits on the board of QuebecInnove.
