In our second episode of the summer sessions we are exploring quiet leadership

What if the most influential leader in the room isn't the one doing most of the talking?

In this episode of The Leadership Log, Becky is joined by leadership development specialist Peter to explore the often-overlooked power of quiet leadership.

Together, they challenge the assumption that leadership belongs to the loudest voice and instead consider how influence is built through listening, curiosity, thoughtful questions and creating space for others to contribute.

Drawing on personal experiences, leadership development, psychology and practical examples, this conversation explores how quieter leaders shape teams, build trust and create psychological safety—not through commanding attention, but through intentional presence.

Whether you naturally think out loud or prefer to think before you speak, this episode offers practical insights for every leader.

Hello Intrepid Leaders!

Welcome to the first episode of a new chapter for The Leadership Log.

As the podcast settles into a new rhythm, we're kicking off the first of the Summer Sessions with a conversation about activism, advocacy and the courage to create change.

What comes to mind when you hear the word activism?

For many of us, it's protests, placards and public demonstrations. But activism can also be quieter than that. It can begin with a conversation, a challenge, or a decision not to stay silent.

In this episode, Becky is joined by the lovely Jess Sainsbury for an honest exploration of activism, advocacy and allyship.

Together, they unpack the difference between sparking change and sustaining it, the power of collective voice, the role of social media, and the courage it takes to challenge systems while remaining true to your values.

A thoughtful conversation about leadership, influence and how small acts of courage can create lasting change.
