Guest: Andy Cox, Head of Energy Transition at Howden and Chair of Kaluza, joins us to explore how leaders navigate difficult commercial decisions when the consequences extend far beyond the business.

Drawing on three decades of experience, including working closely with BP and KPMG, we discuss the competing demands of shareholders, employees and wider society, the complexities of a just energy transition, and the role of values and culture in shaping boardroom decisions. Andy also shares practical lessons on leading through uncertainty, making difficult decisions with transparency and authenticity, and why giving the next generation a voice matters more than ever.

Guest: Susie Braun, founder of How Now Consultancy and former ITV social purpose leader, joins us to explore what it really means to give society a seat at the table.

We discuss the influence organisations can have on society, the tension between commercial priorities and social responsibility, and how leaders can move beyond good intentions to embed positive impact into everyday business decisions. Susie also shares practical lessons from her time at ITV, including the story behind the award-winning Britain Get Talking campaign.

Guest: David Clarke, Chief Executive, British Paralympic Association

How lived experience shapes leadership, and why doing the right thing often starts with listening to who isn’t in the room.

Dave Clarke’s story is a powerful reminder that inclusive leadership is about more than policy - it’s about people. Drawing on his journey from elite sport and banking, to leading ParalympicsGB, Dave talks about conviction, courage, and the weight of public scrutiny. He shares how he navigates tough calls with transparency, how “being decent” became his leadership mantra, and why running a non-profit requires as much commercial discipline as any business. A heartfelt, practical conversation about leading with both strength and humility.
