Leadership doesn't start with a title.

It starts with how you show up.

In this episode of Chats You Didn't Know You Needed, we explore what leadership really looks like early in your career, long before you have "manager" in your job description.

We're joined by Vladislava Bedrataja, Head of Equity Services at SEB, and Peder Zethelius, Service and Relationship Manager at BNP Paribas Securities Services. Together, they reflect on what it takes to lead when teams are distributed, stakes are high, and everything feels urgent.

Expect thoughtful insights on:

• Building trust without formal authority
• Leading across cultures and locations
• Why calm leadership matters in moments of crisis
• How everyday habits quietly shape team culture
• Defining success beyond KPIs and quick wins

Whether you're starting out, leading your first project, or simply trying to understand how leadership really works, this episode is a reminder that the most important lessons often come from the chats you didn't know you needed.
