Caroline Goyder Interview

August 13, 2018 by Colin Gautrey

Since discovering Caroline many years ago I have been a strong advocate of her work - you will be too as soon as you watch her TEDx (see below). Caroline is the author of Gravitas: Communicate with Confidence, Influence and Authority and creator of The Gravitas Method (a powerful audio series that I have used personally and recommend to my clients). Imagine my delight when she agreed to this interview. During our time together, our conversation ranged far and wide, though we managed to stick to topic - gravitas. What we explored is the deeper essence which sits behind gravitas, and the more practical side - how you can show up with greater confidence, bearing and become more successful. Enjoy!     Read More

Morag Barrett Interview

July 2, 2018 by Colin Gautrey

Morag Barrett knows a thing or two about communication, as you will quickly realise when you watch this fascinating interview. She is the author of Cultivate: The Power of Winning Relationships and The Future Proof Workplace. Both of which I highly recommend. We've know each other for many years and regularly share ideas with each other, but never before have we been able to capture this so well. In our discussion Morag shares her ideas about change, and the harsh reality of the current work environment. Definitely highly stimulating, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Read More

Dr. Todd Dewett Interview

June 20, 2018 by Colin Gautrey

Dr. Todd Dewett. A force to be reckoned with for sure! The energy and enthusiasm he has for leadership, and helping people comes at you loud at clear during every second of this interview. Todd has experienced leadership from many angles, including the sharp edge, academia and now spends most of his time presenting to huge groups of people, all keen to learn and develop their leadership skills. During our conversation, we tour rapidly through many contemporary topics such as canour, diversity and the massive communication challenges we face in large organisations. I Anyway, take a look for yourself, and ask yourself an important question - what could you do differently as a result of what Todd shares with us? Enjoy! Read More

Allan Cohen Interview

June 1, 2018 by Colin Gautrey

Few people at middle to senior levels in work have not heard of the all time classic book, Influence without Authority. Indeed, it was one of the first books on the subject I studied early in my career, and it has stayed with me ever since. Nearly 10 years ago, I reached out to one of the authors, Dr. Allan R. Cohen to review one of my books, and he accepted. We've stayed in touch ever since and now, finally, I got the chance to interview him on our favourite subject - influence! During our discussion it becomes clear that after 30 years his book is more relevant than ever, so little surprise that a new edition was published last year. The ideas we discussed have a strong practical side, and my overriding impression is that Allan is a man who lives and breaths his subject with an incredible level of passion that you will not fail to be moved by - and we can all take a leaf out of his book. Now set aside some time and dive into our world. Dr. Allan R. Cohen, Distinguished Professor of Global Leadership (Babson College) and co-author of Influence without Authority. Read More
