The Leader to Leader Podcast
This is a podcast about what leadership in the charity sector needs next, and the future we want to build together. What makes this series different is its format – just like the very best leadership, every conversation passes on the baton. After each interview, the guest becomes the interviewer in the next episode. It’s an ongoing chain of insight, experience, and honesty between people who truly understand the weight and the privilege of leading.
