In this episode, we’re diving deep into the crucial topic of character and its pivotal role in leadership that truly lasts. We’re continuing to show you how lasting leadership is about more than just skills and talents, it’s about the strength of your core. While our gifts and abilities might get us noticed, it’s our character that keeps us in the room and sustains our influence over time.

We explore what character really means: it’s who you are at your core, the part of you that leads even when no one is watching and when the pressure is on. Together, we consider the differences between character and charisma - charisma might attract people, but it’s character that keeps them with you. Real leadership is grounded in integrity, emotional maturity, and moral strength, not just charm or cleverness.

This episode also invites you to reflect on your own responses in challenging situations. We consider practical questions, like how you act when misunderstood or under pressure, whether you make excuses for bad behaviour, and your ability to apologise without defensiveness.

In this episode of our Leadership That Lasts Series - Part 3, we explore the essential role of integrity in authentic and enduring leadership. You’ll learn why trust is impossible without consistency between your words and actions. And how integrity forms the unseen foundation that holds your reputation and influence together. We discuss what it really means to be the same person in private as you are in public and how small, repeated compromises can slowly chip away at your credibility.

You’ll discover practical ways to audit your own habits, set strong boundaries, restore trust where it’s been broken and ensure your values truly shape your decisions. This episode is packed with thoughtful reflection questions and actionable challenges to help you build a leadership legacy that lasts, not just one that impresses for the moment. Whether you’re leading a team, organisation or simply looking to lead yourself better, tune in for honest insights and simple tools to strengthen your integrity and influence from the inside out.

In this episode, we unpack what it really takes to build credible relationships and access that moves your leadership forward. You’ll learn why relationships built on trust, consistency, and shared values are more than just good company - they are strategic assets that can open doors, expand influence, and sustain long-term growth.

We break down the difference between credible relationships and surface-level networking, the three layers of access every leader should understand, and how to assess the strength (or strain) of the relationships you currently hold.

You’ll also get practical reflection questions and leadership challenges to apply immediately in your day-to-day life.

We unpack practical strategies you can use right now to build your credibility, including the power of underpromising and overdelivering, showing up, even when things get tough and letting your actions speak louder than words. By the end of this episode, you’ll have questions for self-reflection and actionable challenges to help you grow as a leader people believe in and follow.
