When does leadership start?

In this episode, Guy Bloom sits down with long time colleague Jamie MacPherson for a conversation grounded in real leadership experience. 

This is not theory. It is what leadership looks like in practice when expectations are high, pressure is real, and people are watching. 

Together, they explore: 

•  The gap between knowing and doing in leadership 
•  What shows up under pressure 
•  The behaviours that build trust and the ones that quietly erode it 
•  The reality of leading peers, not just teams 
•  Why experience does not always equal effectiveness 

This is a conversation shaped by years of working in and around leadership, not observing it from a distance.
 
If you are serious about your impact as a leader, there is something in here for you.
