Send us a text

Have you ever felt a surge of excitement after attending an inspiring conference, only to be met with blank expressions from your team when sharing your newfound enthusiasm? 

In this episode, join Karin and Nuala as they recount their recent experiences at the IADC HSE and Sustainability Conference 2023 in Amsterdam. They delve into the challenges of effectively conveying enthusiasm and offer insights on networking as a potent tool for leaders.

While exploring the significance of maintaining an open mindset when approaching networking events, they emphasise the value of freely sharing knowledge and wisdom with fellow professionals, even those who may be perceived as competitors, and also touch upon the need to bridge the gap between the enthusiasm gained at such events and the understanding of those who didn't have the opportunity to attend.

Leadership often traverses a solitary path, and networking provides a means to connect with like-minded individuals. The episode examines how networking can lead to meaningful conversations, the exchange of ideas, and the realisation that you're not alone in grappling with leadership challenges.

Furthermore, emphasis is placed on staying updated with the latest industry discussions and becoming part of communities comprising curious and open-minded individuals - and they provide a glimpse into their upcoming project, the "Safety Leaders Hub," a community which will be crafted to support leaders in high-risk industries.

This episode highlights the importance of networking, enthusiasm, and continuous learning for leaders. It furnishes valuable insights and practical tips for leaders aiming to connect, inspire, and drive positive change within their organisations. 

If you're intrigued by the prospect of unlocking leadership potential through networking, this episode is a must-listen.

Thanks for listening!
