In this podcast we talk with Ruth Kudzi, Founder of Optimus Coach Academy, Master Certified Coach, Mentor, Best Selling Author & Podcaster.

Ruth opens up about her personal journey as a leader, the challenge of understanding self in order to be who we are meant to be. We discuss the need for a balance of self-acceptance and personal responsibility and how this can positively impact our roles as leaders. On a more individual level, Ruth also talks about the importance of giving yourself space to grow and learn and the power and value of listening in the quiet to our gut feeling and intuition.

In this podcast we talk with Paul Haynes, leadership coach who helps senior leaders tackle the unseen challenges that hold them back.

We discuss a variety of themes as the conversation unfolds from healing to authenticity and trust; the unseen pressures leaders carry: the patterns shaping how they show up, often without realising; the power of awareness to notice the often unseen limiting walls that hold us back; and the importance of tuning into the body to access the wisdom of the whole. We discuss how this shows up in the leadership space inviting leaders to shift from outward doing to being and exploring the inner world of the self and the healing that can bring so that, as leaders, we can bring our whole self to our purpose.

In this conversation, we talk to the amazing Jo McCarthy, founder of Mojo Coaching, Leadership Coach and facilitator and Enneagram practitioner. We discuss the Enneagram, unpacking Jo’s expertise in the use of Enneagram testing and coaching with leaders and teams. We explore how impactful this work is and how it can strengthen agency, create psychological safety, and bring a sense of community and connection to struggling teams.
