  • 21 Kevin Hogarth | Leadership on Trial: Navigating Principle in Uncertain Times
    Mar 8 2025
    How principled leadership can survive amid disruption and division.

    In this timely episode, hosts Jonathan and Robert welcome Kevin Hogarth, renowned leadership expert, to unpack the state of leadership amid turbulent times. From recent geopolitical shocks reverberating from the White House to unprecedented pressures reshaping the professional services sector, the conversation considers crucial questions, including:

    - Can principled leadership survive in an era dominated by populism and hyper-masculinity?
    - What role do integrity and respect play in effective leadership, especially when challenged by political or organisational toxicity?
    - How should leaders navigate a generational divide intensified by technological disruption and cultural clashes around diversity, equity, and inclusion?

    Kevin shares candid insights from decades of experience across leading firms including EY, Freshfields, Norton Rose Fulbright, KPMG and PSFI. He also reveals strategies for senior leaders — and partners in particular — to embrace necessary change, leverage diverse talent effectively, and maintain ethical clarity in the face of mounting pressures.

    Tune in to discover:
    - Why principled leadership remains crucial despite global pressures seeming to suggest we should abandon it.
    - Practical ways to bridge generational differences and harness the untapped potential of younger talent.
    - The real risks and rewards of embracing or resisting change at the highest levels.

    This conversation is essential listening for any leader committed to steering their firm responsibly through uncertainty, complexity, and conflict. Connect with Kevin on LinkedIn · PSFI website · LinkedIn · Website · Connect with Robert on LinkedIn · Connect with Jonathan on LinkedIn

  • 20 Rod Clayton | Protecting Reputation in a Digital-First World
    Feb 27 2025
    Crisis, Clients, & Controversy - Navigating Brand Risk in the Digital Age.

    In a world where misinformation spreads faster than the truth and reputations can be built — or destroyed — at the speed of a tweet, how can professional service firms protect themselves?

    In this timely episode, co-hosts Rob and Jonathan sit down with Rod Clayton, Head of Risk and Advisory (EMEA) at Weber Shandwick, to unpack the evolving landscape of brand and reputation management.

    Rod brings over 30 years of crisis management experience, helping global firms and their leaders navigate the complexities of digital influence, media scrutiny, and the increasing weaponisation of information.

    Together, they tackle pressing questions:
    - Why traditional, reactive approaches to reputation management no longer work.
    - How law firms and professional services are increasingly conflated with their clients’ actions.
    - The dangers of "no comment" — and when silence can be more damaging than speaking out.
    - How AI is amplifying reputational risk, and why firms must prepare for deepfakes and disinformation campaigns.
    - The critical role of proactive brand defence, crisis simulations, and internal training

    This is a must-listen for firm leaders, communications teams, and professionals who understand that in today’s digital-first world, reputation isn’t just an asset — it’s key to survival.
