Episode 12: Best of Boardroom Hustle - "Disrupting the Status Quo"

The Best of Season 1: "Disrupting the Status Quo"

This episode makes the end of Season 1, which I’m retrospectively titling ‘Disrupting the Status Quo’.

We’ll be kicking off Season 2 in a couple of weeks. I’ll be co-hosting this season with previous Anna Byrne (episode 5), and we’ll be focusing on the FUTURE of the boardroom and the things that are coming on the horizon that will impact boardrooms and how board members need to constantly adapt change.

This episode features five of my favourite snippets from the guests we had on the show in the first season of Boardroom Hustle:

• [1:55] Penelope Twemlowe (episode 6). The importance of saying ‘no’, being selective in what you do so that you can dedicate more time and energy to fewer things (stop spreading yourself so thinly - say no to little things so that you can say yet to the big ones).

• [6:00] Alan Jones (episode 3). Career inflection points and answering the question ‘what’s making you feel most vulnerable right now? (heart arrhythmia, transition point in life)

• [11:20] Alison Rowe (episode 4). ‘Fail early, then try again’ (tips for building resilience and dealing with imposter syndrome, importance of learning from failure, injecting fun and work-life balance, confidence in decision-making without 100% information, managing risk in the boardroom)

• [16:30] Raph Goldsworthy (episode 7). The ‘art and science’ of the boardroom, most problems in the boardroom are perennial because we still haven’t addressed them properly

• [22:00] Parrys Raines (episode 1). Finding your passion, trying things on the side, determining what works best for you
