It goes without saying that as a senior leader in your organisation, you are likely inundated with things to get done and there just aren’t enough hours in the day to get through them all. Let me assure you however, it is possible to be a highly influential leader who drives transformation in your organisation, even if you don’t have any time.

In this episode, I’m sharing a strategic mini action plan which will help you to make a big impact in just a few hours a month. That’s right, in just a few hours A MONTH.

I’m revealing my 3-pillar framework that I encourage every senior leader who wants to impactfully drive and influence organisational transformation to embody. And of course I share some specific, practical steps you can take to bring each of the pillars to life with ease.

I also break the framework down into a simple execution plan to show how you can drive transformation with a small investment of time. I talk you through being a powerful storyteller, thinking like a media centre, and being conversational, to demystify what it really takes for senior executives to build trust with employees and other stakeholders.

You can’t always be out having one on one conversations with your team, so I hope this week’s episode inspires you to be strategic and walk your talk to inspire true engagement with your change initiative.

Listen in now!
