This podcast is about leadership, authenticity and courage. Every episode is a personal development experience showing you how you can transform yourself and thus transform those around you and ultimately the organisation within which you work. Take a stand, choose a value - accountability, one-team, customer-centric, and many more - and come away with insights and practical tips on what it takes to authentically live that day-to-day. Many people and organisations hold these values, but don’t practise them. Through this podcast you will close that gap and as a result earn higher trust from your clients and colleagues, because they see you walking your talk. Carolyn Taylor is a global thought leader in personal development and culture change, with a reputation for having a practical, insightful and do-able approach. She has coached thousands of leaders and helped hundreds of organisations change their culture, and is the author of the classic best-selling handbook Walking the Talk: How to Build a culture for success.

episode 20: 20: One-team series - Understanding how one-team thinking is different

episode 18: 18: Values driven series - Will you sacrifice for authenticity?
We all aspire to be values driven, but we are also driven by other needs: survival needs such as the need for control, to be liked, or for security. Often the two conflict, and this results in a perception that you are not walking your talk. How can you r

What happens when you don’t like what you see, feel you have a valuable point of view to express, or feel wronged in some way? It takes courage to speak up and to take responsibility for being heard. And it usually involves a “difficult conversation”. Wh
episode 14: 14: Courage series - Vulnerability sounds to others like truth and feels to us like courage
Sometimes being courageous is not about doing something different, but rather about revealing something about yourself you have previously felt you had to keep hidden. By keeping up appearances, portraying a shinier image of yourself than you feel inside,
episode 13: 13: Courage series - Why you should step outside your comfort zone
