Why do so many of us get nervous when public speaking? Communication expert Lawrence Bernstein says the key to dealing with the pressure is as simple as having a casual chat. He introduces the "coffee shop test" as a way to help you overcome nerves, connect with your audience and deliver a message that truly resonates. After the talk, Modupe explains a similar approach in academia called the "Grandma test," and how public speaking can be as simple as a conversation with grandma.

This time, we’re joined by Burak Koyuncu , Head of Leadership Development at LHH , and a globally recognised thought leader whose work has featured in Harvard Business Review , MIT Sloan Management Review , Business Week , Financial Times , The Economist , and The Wall Street Journal . 🎙️ The Mindsets and Moves of Game-Changing Leaders In this episode, Burak dives deep into what separates the average from the exceptional in today’s leadership landscape. With a blend of academic rigour and real-world insight, he helps us explore what it truly takes to lead with impact in a world defined by constant change. We explore: Transactional vs transformational leadership —what’s the difference, and which matters most today? The DNA of a transformational leader —can anyone develop it, and how?

This one’s a real eye-opener. We sat down with Carl Akintola-Davies , Head of Leadership Development at Phoenix Group, to talk about something that gets thrown around a lot... but rarely unpacked properly: What’s the actual difference between a leader and a manager? Here’s a line from Carl that really stopped us in our tracks: “Managers are appointed by those above them. Leaders are chosen by those around them.” Let that sink in. In this episode, we’re getting honest about: Why we tend to romanticise leaders and demonise managers The real science behind what makes someone worth following How leadership isn’t about being ‘the chosen one’—it’s about belonging, trust, and identity Carl shares a refreshingly grounded (and research-backed!) view on how leadership actually works—and why developing good leaders has less to do with job titles and more to do with how people feel around you. Whether you’re new to leading a team, supporting managers through L&D, or just curious about how influence really works in a modern workplace—this one’s full of gold. And as always, your hosts Paul Hewett and Oz Hussein bring the warmth, the wit, and the occasional curveball question. 🎧 Give it a listen—it’s one of those episodes that sticks with you.

Join us for a powerful conversation with Delme Thompson , Head of Global Events & Audience Development at CFA, as we unpack one of the toughest—and most transformative—skills in leadership: mastering difficult conversations. Let’s face it: every leader will face moments where they need to have the hard talk . But what separates good leaders from great ones is how they approach those moments. How do you stand firm with integrity while staying open, human, and constructive? Delme shares how resilience, emotional maturity, and psychological safety go hand-in-hand when navigating conflict—and why embracing discomfort is actually a superpower. In this episode, we dig into the art of turning tension into trust, awkwardness into alignment, and conflict into clarity.
