Very excited to announce that I joined Berlin-based Junto as a Senior Transformation Consultant this week! 🚀 Thank you for the warm welcome Johannes Schnell-Kretschmer, Marius Hepp, Liam Morley, Rebecca Görres, Allen Sanchez, Tomás Burke and the entire team. Why am I so excited about this? Below are four reasons, some of them professional, some of them personal. 1. It’s an opportunity to take on a key position in a rocket ship very early on. This is a chance to work with some of the smartest people I’ve met, this environment is incredible to grow on all levels. Junto has very rapidly proven its impact working with businesses in Germany and I cannot wait to continue shaping the strategy with the founding team. 💯 2. Junto has a very clear, impact-driven mission and value proposition: to transform organisations through tailored leadership training programs delivered by top instructors - in a scalable way. Leadership capabilities belong to the top factors when it comes to making or breaking a business. Companies that don’t invest will fall behind. 🎯 3. As someone having lived abroad my entire adult life, this is the first time I am joining a local player from Germany. This completely changes the challenges and opportunities to work with when working out growth strategies. New angles mean growth. 🔝 4. It’s the first time I take on a position working mostly remotely, from Madrid, which has become my home over the last five years. Trust and communication are keys to making this work. These are some of the strengths that the entire team at Junto has already shown me from the very first conversations. 🙌 If you want to know more about what we do, please get in touch! I’m looking forward to this new adventure. 🎉

What is a thought leader? I think it is someone who is an authority in their field and guides others, but also has the humility to know they too are learning and growing. It's who I aspire to be every day. It means a great deal to be validated by Erin Halper and her team at The Upside as a Top Thought Leader in their 100 Coaches, Consultants and Thought Leaders recognition program! This is what "trailblazing excellence in NextGen Leadership" looks like to me: ✅ identifying outdated paradigms of work and developing alternatives ✅ facilitating discussion of where technology is going, not where it is now ✅ letting go of my own norms, "best practices", and habits - to continuously reinvent myself ✅ asking questions that I don't always have the answer Thank you to my LinkedIn supporters and network for your contributions, engagement, and accolades -- I will continue to do my best to live up to the title of Top Thought Leader! P.S. I borrowed my quote from one of my favorite "business leader turns human" films, do you know it? (no cheating!)

🌟 Just wrapped up an eye-opening session with Timo Boldt The brains behind Gousto at London Business School's The Summit Series near Regent's Park. 🎓✨ Timo's leadership style is truly remarkable - humble yet visionary. He's all about cutting through the noise and improving things for people and the planet. I love that mindset! 🌱🌍 What resonated with me was his emphasis on building a genuine culture. It's not just talking with Timo – he's all about learning and action, and that's how he's taking Gousto to new heights. I respect Timo's selective leadership regarding values and hiring. It's not just about speed and people who want to get things done; it's about finding the right fit and working collaboratively. Moreover, his innovative use of red and green cards to drive workable and unworkable behaviours showcases his commitment to nurturing a positive work environment. 🛑✅ Timo's commitment to his well-being stands out. Despite his demanding schedule, he prioritises self-care and sets boundaries to protect his time for exercise. It's a testament to his holistic approach to leadership, recognising that personal well-being is essential for sustained success and resilience. He's got this leadership playbook focused on making tough decisions and empowering his team to execute. Trust is at the core as they balance risk, experimentation, and adaptation. Plus, what is his commitment to seeking feedback and evolving? That's Transformation Leadership in action. 🔄💡 Timo got me thinking and painting a vivid picture of transformational leadership and building an emotional culture that truly matters. Here's to leaders like him who lead purposefully and inspire us all to do the same! 👏💼 What are your thoughts on the critical leadership ingredients for people to learn, speak up and experiment to do their best work? Andrew G., thank you for the invitation to join the session. It is much appreciated, and catching up with you on the fantastic campus was a pleasure. #Leadership #Culture #Growth #Empowerment #TimoBoldt #Gousto #LondonBusinessSchool #RegentsPark #Innovation #Learning

We’ve all heard that an MBA is a thrilling roller coaster ride—full of ups, downs, and unexpected twists. What no one tells you is that this journey only levels up post-MBA. This ride has been transformative in so many ways, shaping not just my career but also my perspective on leadership, strategy, and innovation. Here are a few key learnings from this journey: 1. Just like a roller coaster’s sharp turns, the corporate world demands to STAY AGILE. Whether it's stepping out of your comfort zone, embracing new locations, or navigating organizational pivots, adapting quickly is key to staying on track. 2. There are moments when you can’t see what’s ahead—just like that steep climb on a roller coaster. TRUSTING THE PROCESS, your skills, and your team is crucial to maneuvering uncertainty. 3. As we all feel anxious to start a new endeavor, it's easy to get caught up in the rush, but it’s important to pause and ENJOY THE RIDE. The connections I’ve made with peers, mentors, and industry leaders taught me to celebrate milestones, big and small, and cherish the learning along the way with a growth mindset. 4. I was fortunate to be a part of a critical project and contribute to a significant client visit. The experience has provided an opportunity to demonstrate my commitment, showcase my expertise, and EMBRACE THE LEARNINGS just like those exhilarating feelings on the highs of the ride. 5. Amidst the overwhelming experience of the new stint, I have learned to be poised and see the bigger picture ensuring that the solutions developed are cohesive and in line with the client’s needs. Just as we HOLD ON TIGHT on a ride, I tried to be firm on my skills and ideas and have driven growth and innovation in my work. The journey is far from over. I’m excited to continue applying these insights, driving impactful change, and contributing to the ever-evolving business landscape. #CorporateLife #GrowthMindset #CareerGrowth #Leadership #Strategy #Innovation

As we wind down 2023 in preparation for a new year I wanted to say thank you to our clients and collaborators and take a moment each day to celebrate and express gratitude for what we’ve achieved in 2023. It's been a big year for holding the space for difficult conversations and transformation. Political, social and personal challenges have meant that issues that bubbled to the surface were raw and the possibilities for future change were often tricky to find. My facilitation work brought together the conditions for individual change, organisational change and sector change. From co- facilitating the national in person and digital gatherings of ArtLands to facilitating board, leadership and executive retreats across Australia; I've held spaces with care, equity, candour and fearlessness. Again and again reinforcing that quality facilitation done with integrity and skill provides the opportunity for everyone to bring their full some selves to the table and provide the conditions for clarity, solutions, transformation and renewed purpose. I've enjoyed being part of that journey of change and look forward to more in 2024. Thank-you so much for your bravery in showing up for the difficult conversations, the imagination to bring light to possibilities and the resilience to continue to strive for the changes we need to create a different kind of world. #facilitation #leadership #governance #facilitator #workforcedevelopment #systemschange #systemsthinking
