G’day, it’s AJ and welcome to the 10 Degree Shift, a show all about how people have made small shifts in their life and leadership that have had a big impact.
Today my special guest is an amazing leader from the Manufacturing industry, the managing director of 100 year old firm Bekaert Stephen Hennessey. In this episode we explore how the balance of a leader showing competency and care can lead to higher staff retention and engagement, a better life work balance and ultimately a sustainable happy business and life.
Stephen shares many stories from his career from an electrical tradesman to his work now as an MD and how he has invested in being a natural servant leader along the way. From how he callibrates the culture to how he ensures there are high performing relationships across the business and how he achieved unity of their blue and white collar workers, there is gold in this interview from start to finish.
In Stephen's words - if you want to lead well don't be afraid to ask for help and make sure you are practicing self reflection along the way.

Whatever you are doing right now, stop and make time for this short but deep conversation.
Every single day I meet clients, see posts and receive questions from listeners about self-love, self-loathing, doing the inner work, overcoming trauma or fear and taking the necessary small steps and shifts along a journey to an embodied, whole life.
Today my interview is with a woman who runs deep and is comfortable sitting in her feelings and emotions. She wasn't always that way, in fact when I first met her and became her coach she was quite the opposite. But just look at her now.
Allow me to introduce you to a business embodiment coach Casey Warwick, she is fire, she is earth, she is water and air. She's all the things. And most of all she's raw and real. Like a true Aussie she uses a bit of potty mouth so you might not want to play this when your little ones are around, but you will want to listen to how she moved through her journey from being in the military, a fitness PT to now a mother, partner, friend and successful business woman. She is all the things and I love her for that.
I cannot wait to hear what you glean from her stories of her life and the smallest shifts she's made that had the biggest impact.
Love AJ

Leadership in 2022 and beyond is a whole new ball game.
The old rules of business no longer apply so today AJ talks to non-executive board director Sam Martin-Williams about what leadership we will need for the future of work.
You cannot use the same tricks and same level of thinking and expect to get better results.
If you want to truly go deeper, faster, more connected, more meaningful and have a bigger impact in your workplace and the world then you need to develop the skills of the conscious human leader.
High performing, high vibe, winning corporate cultures are created through the inspiration of conscious human leaders. Importantly, great corporate cultures can’t be copied, and they don’t just happen by chance.
A Non Executive Director, Remuneration Committee Chair and former CEO with over two decades of board experience Sam has a particular focus on highly regulated logistics, infrastructure, resources, financial services, health, education and a strong track record in transforming business, she provides deep people, culture and risk governance advice to companies facing disruption.
In this episode we discuss the evolution of leadership and insights from our white paper about Conscious Human Leadership which you can download here https://www.alexandrajoy.com.au/conscious-human-leaders
