A secret field that summons lightning. A massive spiral that disappears into a salt lake. A celestial observatory carved into a volcano. Meet the wild—and sometimes explosive—world of land art, where artists craft masterpieces with dynamite and bulldozers. In our Season 2 premiere, guest Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura, takes us off road and into the minds of the artists who literally reshaped parts of the Southwest. These works aren’t meant to be easy to reach—or to explain—but they just might change how you see the world. Land art you’ll visit in this episode: - Double Negative and City by Michael Heizer (Garden Valley, Nevada) - Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson (Great Salt Lake, Utah) - Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt (Great Basin Desert, Utah) - Lightning Field by Walter De Maria (Catron County, New Mexico) - Roden Crater by James Turrell (Painted Desert, Arizona) Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.…

In this latest episode I introduce FieldSense — a structured yet human approach to working through complex issues as a leadership team. Too often, the capacity in senior teams isn’t unleashed as they try to solve gnarly problems or issues - not because the people aren’t capable, but because they’re talking at cross purposes, each operating from a different stage of the problem. FieldSense makes those stages visible, helping teams align on where they are , what the work is right now , and what comes next . You’ll learn: The three phases and six moves of the FieldSense framework Why slowing down early helps speed up better decisions later How to shift from reactive dialogue to shared, grounded action If you’ve ever been in a meeting where something important needed to be solved — and the conversation got stuck — this episode is for you. And if you want to learn more about how FieldSense works, or how you could deploy it in your leadership team, reach out to us at: https://waldencroft.com/contact/…
What if the alternative to capitalism’s excesses isn’t revolution—but quiet reinvention? In this episode I’m joined by Claire Costello, Chief People & Inclusion Officer at Co-op Group. We explore how Co-op’s values-led, member-owned structure creates a different kind of leadership. One that's attuned, distributed, and accountable. Claire describes how Co-op’s flexible executive structure, enterprise-wide mindset, and strong connection to its 6 million members foster leadership that is both commercially astute and socially responsible. Claire joined the Co-op in 2019 as Chief Procurement officer and moved to her current role as Chief People and Inclusion Officer at the Co-operative Group in 2022. Her team works across 3 core areas: setting and delivering the strategy for Reward, Wellbeing, Employee Relations, Inclusion, Skills, Colleague proposition and Leadership development; supporting the strategic people challenges across a diverse set of business areas; and delivering a pensions proposition to 54,000 colleagues and 30,000 pensioners. Claire is also on the Board of Co-op Academies Trust as a Trustee.…
In this episode I examine the four stages of chaos— Disruption, Escalation, Fragmentation, and Disintegration (or Breakthrough) —and how leaders can identify our position within the cycle. Understanding these stages provides us with a vital advantage: it enables us to lead with intention, rather than merely react to the turmoil. I also incorporate the work of Neil Howe and his Fourth Turning theory, which posits that history progresses in 80-to-100-year cycles. If Howe is correct, we are experiencing a period of fundamental transformation—one that will not simply “return to normal.” However, within this disruption, there is also an opportunity: to shape what comes next.…
Remember when good character was something a leader strived to be known for? It seems that now, not so much. In my latest podcast episode, The Erosion of Character , I explore whether character has truly gone out of fashion—or if we’re simply seeing a battle over what “good character” means. Is it now simply a matter of debate? When humiliation, intimidation, and confusion are used to win at any cost, under the guise that the ends justify the means, where does that leave us? I wrote an article to go alongside this podcast called, Is Character out of Fashion? in my LinkedIn newsletter, the Suite Stop. You can access it by clicking here .…
Effective leadership isn’t merely about decisive action—it’s also about recognising when not to act. In this episode, I explore strategic patience as an underrated leadership skill. We’ve all seen hasty decisions that create bigger problems later. So, how do you know when to hold steady and when to move? I've just launched a new LinkedIn newsletter, called The Suite Spot, packed full of essential insights and practical strategies for C-Suite leaders and those who develop them.

I’ve been reflecting on two stories from late last year—stories that aren’t just news headlines, but signals of deeper, systemic cracks in industries we depend on. The first story: The tragic murder of United Healthcare’s CEO, Brian Thompson, in broad daylight. While the act itself was horrific, the public’s reaction was startling: social media erupted with jokes, and many Americans seemed to view the act as a violent expression of anger at a healthcare system accused of prioritizing profit over people. The second story: A groundbreaking lawsuit against 11 major food corporations, alleging that ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are engineered to be addictive, contributing to a public health crisis. For many, these foods have become as harmful as cigarettes once were. What connects these stories? Both are about systems that have lost their purpose. A healthcare system that denies care to boost profits. A food system that prioritizes addiction over nourishment. As executive leaders, what should we take from this? I believe we need to start asking tougher questions: When is enough, enough? What happens when a system’s priorities become so misaligned with its purpose that it breeds distrust—or worse, existential threats? If you'd like to read about this topic, I've also created a blogpost, which you can access here: https://waldencroft.com/when-is-enough-enough/ If you'd like to stay up to date with the work that we're producing to enhance the Collective Enterprise Leadership of Executive Teams, you can receive our bi-weekly newsletter.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Wilson Wong, Director of insight and futures at Wong at work. We delve into futures and foresight, how organisations can anticipate disruption, navigate uncertainty, and strategically plan for the long term. Wilson shares fascinating insights from his 20 plus years of futures work, including real world examples, like Shell scenario planning and shifts in the global energy market. We explore why leaders must step back to think critically amidst short term pressures, and how tools like scenario planning can uncover risks and opportunities that might be hiding in plain sight. A data scientist and futurist, Wilson has over 30 years of experience of applied research into organisations – their leadership, values/ culture, futures strategy, and the evaluation, management and development of human capital for policy & practice, investors and in academia. His research consulting and futures strategy development clients include the Metropolitan Police, Logica, Standard Chartered Bank, Nottingham County Council, Cambridgeshire County Council, DWP.

Steve Hearsum supports and challenges clients to find their 'edge and stretch' when what they are after is more than simply 'better sameness'. He creates useful discomfort in service of learning and have been told he has “a knack of not letting people off the hook, without leaving them feeling like they’re on the hook”. His interest is in building change capability through: Leadership practice: conventional leadership development is largely a waste of time and money. He works with leaders to help them understand how they show up and the impact they have in the context they operate in. Consulting & change practice: working with internal and external practitioners to deepen their awareness of how they show up and the impact they have. He also works as a group and individual supervisor. Culture: working with organisations and leaders to help them inquire into their current behaviours and supporting them to build their capabilities to evolve how they work together.

Ever wondered what it takes to build a truly inclusive global organisation? In our latest podcast episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Loraine Martins, the inspiring Global Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Director at Arup. Loraine has a fascinating journey, from working on the London Olympic Park to leading Arup’s mission of “shaping a better world.” In our conversation, Loraine opened up about what “shaping a better world” means in practical terms. For Arup, it’s more than just a tagline. It’s about designing spaces that serve diverse communities, fostering a workplace where every voice feels valued, and aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals to ensure a positive impact on both people and the planet.…
There’s an epidemic of executive loneliness is the corporate world today. On this episode of the podcast, I’m joined by Nick Jonsson, author of Executive Loneliness , where he shares his personal experiences of striving for success whilst struggling with the negative consequences of a winning mindset. He shares how self-doubt, anxiety and a colluding organisational culture that simply wanted to him to smile and be successful led him to turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms, including addiction, and eventually to him leaving the corporate world in a personal crisis. Whilst at his own rock bottom, a friend of Nick’s took his own life. It was then that he realised how important it is that we support leaders who may be experiencing loneliness and depression in the workplace. This provided a catalyst for a new life purpose and the drive to turn his life around and help others. You can find out more about Nick at his website: https://www.nickjonsson.com/…

Is your life an endless rush from one thing to the next? That was certainly the case for Carl Honoré, my guest on today’s podcast. He is the author of the phenomenally successful book In Praise of Slow . Carl explains his journey to the slow movement, triggered by an epiphany of recognising the need to slow down and reconnect with the art of living in the moment when he found himself trying to rush the bedtime stories to his son. He discusses how our fast-paced culture permeates all aspects of life, from the boardroom to the bedroom. And he shares examples of absurd manifestations of the go-faster culture, such as speed yoga and drive-through funerals! The executives I work with are incredibly busy and have large and important portfolios of work that they’re managing. They're also experiencing an epidemic of burnout. The idea of slowing down is anathema to many executives. But as Carl explains, slowing down is not just about reducing speed but about being present and doing things well. It’s also about knowing when speed is important, and when giving yourself a bit more space around your work would enhance it immeasurably. __ Carl Honoré is an award-winning writer, broadcaster and two-time TED speaker. The Wall Street Journal hailed him as “an in-demand spokesman on slowness.” CBC Sunday Edition called him “the world’s leading evangelist for the Slow Movement.” His bestselling books have been published in 36 languages. While researching his first book, In Praise of Slow , Carl got slapped with a speeding ticket. This link has all of his books, courses, etc in one place: https://linktr.ee/carlhonore In case you missed it, he made a thing recently for BBC Radio 4: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0021hc4…
