Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I’m excited to introduce my brand new co-host, Lara Cullen, as we launch a new series within the podcast: Impactful Teams.   We’re diving into what really makes a team impactful - not just in terms of performance, but in how aligned, influential, and sustainable their success is.  Lara and I share our brand-new Impactful Teams framework to help teams grow their impact. We talk about why psychological safety, emotional intelligence, and shared purpose are essential ingredients, and why even high-performing teams can still have hidden challenges holding them back.  We also share the story behind how Lara and I started working together and how our different but complementary strengths have shaped the way we support leaders and teams.  If you’re leading a team—or want to take your already successful team to the next level—this episode will give you practical insights and a clear starting point to increase your team's influence and impact.  In this episode, you’ll hear: Why I’ve invited Lara Cullen to co-host episodes focused on Impactful Teams The story of how we met and why we decided to collaborate Our Align–Amplify–Embed framework for building Impactful Teams What really drives team success (hint: it’s not just the individuals) The 5 key elements of team alignment using our TEAMS model How to amplify your team’s voice and influence across your organisation The importance of embedding change to make it last How you can find out how impactful your team really is right now  This is Influence & Impact for Leaders, the podcast that helps leaders like you increase your impact and build a happy and high performing team.
