Name: Nathan JonesCurrent title: Managing DirectorCurrent organisation: Improvability SolutionsI've been regularly described as a "useful guy to have around". This is because I seem to have a knack for helping solve problems, fix things, and basically improve the capability of the people and teams I work with. I'm the older version of the kid that played with lego and Meccano and gets excited by fixing things.I've worked in many areas and businesses in Australia and internationally. One of the key things I've learned is that listening and being helpful in the way others want to be helped are universally more welcomed than telling people what to do.My background includes many projects and roles in which I've been able to save time and money, make things easier to do, and help make decisions more real and simple. I've had the great fortune of having the opportunity to work in many industries. These include:* Utilities (Gas, Electricity, Water)* Government * Banking (retail and investment, including superannuation and insurance)* Manufacturing (local and international, small and well, frankly enormous!)* Logistics and Warehousing* Sales and distribution (including sales ops)* Research including the university sector and industrial R&D* For Purpose (Not for Profit) Sector* Training and coaching (as teams and as individuals, often execs)Resources mentioned in this episode:Free Download of The Leadership Survival Guide (10 World-Class Leaders Reveal Their Secrets)The Leadership Conversations PodcastThe Jonno White Leadership PodcastThe Leadership Question of the Day PodcastClarity Website7 Questions on Leadership SeriesWe'd Love To Interview YOU In Our 7 Questions On Leadership Series!Subscribe To Clarity's Mailing ListJonno White's eBook Step Up or Step OutJonno White's Book Step Up or Step Out (Amazon)

Name: Andy LopataCurrent title: Speaker, Mentor, and TrainerCurrent organisation: Professional Relationships StrategyStrong professional relationships can help to break down silos within organisations, lead to more and higher quality new leads, uncover hard to find solutions and increase efficiency in a range of areas. Unfortunately those relationships are often left to chance, leaving many failing to realise the potential their networks offer. Organisations struggle with more competition than collaboration between departments while sales teams rely on their leaders to bring in referrals as they plod on with tired attempts to find new prospects, ignoring the opportunity to build networks of their own. By knowing why you and your team are investing in relationships, it is possible to plan accordingly and get great, measurable results. For twenty years I have worked with companies on how to build, nurture and benefit from professional relationships. Working across sectors, I have helped businesses in professional and financial services, healthcare, software, and more. I’ve even worked with chocolate manufacturers and fitness clubs, the perfect partnership! I have worked in twenty-six countries worldwide, been quoted in the international press, including Forbes, Entrepreneur.com., The Sunday Times, The Financial Times, and The Guardian in the UK and written five books on the topic.I’m a Fellow and former Board Member of the Professional Speaking Association and a recipient of the PSAE (Award of Excellence). I’m also a Fellow of the Learning and Performance Institute and a Master of the Institute of Sales Management. For my sins, I am a Charlton Athletic supporter and former editor of the award-winning fanzine 'Goodbye Horse' (I must have done something very bad in a previous life!). I also enjoy cooking, hiking, the theatre, and various failed attempts at sport!My website is www.lopata.co.ukResources mentioned in this episode:Free Download of The Leadership Survival Guide (10 World-Class Leaders Reveal Their Secrets)The Leadership Conversations PodcastThe Jonno White Leadership PodcastThe Leadership Question of the Day PodcastClarity Website7 Questions on Leadership SeriesWe'd Love To Interview YOU In Our 7 Questions On Leadership Series!Subscribe To Clarity's Mailing ListJonno White's eBook Step Up or Step OutJonno White's Book Step Up or Step Out (Amazon)

Name: Jan TerkelsenCurrent Title: Co-FounderCurrent organisation: People LeadersI support people to create high-performing habits. I have been an executive coach, consultant, and facilitator in corporate Australia for more than 18 years and I understand what it takes to create sustainable change in one’s life. It takes three things, understanding one’s beliefs, managing emotions, and taking focused action in the direction you have decided you want to go.I am an experienced personality profiler and behavioral change specialist, and I have a deep interest and track record in assisting people with a preference for introversion. I work with clients to leverage this thinking style to create opportunities and openings in their life. Personality impacts decisions, communication, and relationships, and I work with my clients, so they can discover how they can use their thinking preferences to support career aspirations, influence others and have a meaningful work life.Combining my knowledge of personality and physical well-being through my experience as a fitness professional, I understand the link between physical, mental, and emotional energies. Once you understand your main drivers and limiting beliefs you can create constructive behaviors that “stick”.Leaders today are dealing with, a rate of change that is only going to get faster as well as a diverse and dispersed workforce. Having a robust and effective decision-making process is key to moving forward effectively. I work with clients to craft and implement a distinct process that is usable and effective, even drilling down to the number of options each individual needs to generate, and key questions to ask to unlock the best options. I also have an MBA in Human Resources and numerous accreditations including MBTI, OCI, LSI, GSI, NLP, and coaching.Resources mentioned in this episode:Free Download of The Leadership Survival Guide (10 World-Class Leaders Reveal Their Secrets)The Leadership Conversations PodcastThe Jonno White Leadership PodcastThe Leadership Question of the Day PodcastClarity Website7 Questions on Leadership SeriesWe'd Love To Interview YOU In Our 7 Questions On Leadership Series!Subscribe To Clarity's Mailing ListJonno White's eBook Step Up or Step OutJonno White's Book Step Up or Step Out (Amazon)

Name: Jeremy FranceseCurrent title: Founder & PresidentCurrent organisation: Strategic Branding StudiosShy of 6-years ago my network started asking me for help with branding, marketing, and driving sales online. Unlike my contemporaries, all of which I respect, these folks were not Fortune 500 clients that had millions in marketing to spend. Quite the opposite. These folks were small business owners, nonprofit executives, consultants, physical therapists, you name it. They did not have a stock price to manage, they had families to support and fear about navigating the ever-changing landscape that is communicating in a predominantly digital environment. So in 2019, after 4 years of success working for free to educate and support these clients, we realized we could bring more value if we build infrastructure and deepened our creative network of professionals. So that’s exactly what we did. Fast forward to the present, I run Strategic Branding Studios education-forward full-service marketing, and communications agency solely focused on leveraging marketing and communications to accelerate business outcomes.The way people buy has fundamentally changed. Customers spend less than 15% of their evaluation time meeting with and engaging vendors. Relying on passive word of mouth, a few social posts or blogs, an ad or two, and an e-book won’t cut it anymore and SBS is here to help.Resources mentioned in this episode:Free Download of The Leadership Survival Guide (10 World-Class Leaders Reveal Their Secrets)The Leadership Conversations PodcastThe Jonno White Leadership PodcastThe Leadership Question of the Day PodcastClarity Website7 Questions on Leadership SeriesWe'd Love To Interview YOU In Our 7 Questions On Leadership Series!Subscribe To Clarity's Mailing ListJonno White's eBook Step Up or Step OutJonno White's Book Step Up or Step Out (Amazon)

Name: Jeremy WilliamsonCurrent title: Head of School - PrimaryCurrent organisation: Genesis Christian CollegeI’ve worked at Genesis as Head of School – Primary since the beginning of 2019 after working in education for more than 20 years in various roles across independent, Catholic and state schools.I hold undergraduate degrees in Music and Education and a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership. Currently, I’m working on my Doctorate in Education, with a focus on the future skills curriculum.Alongside leading the Primary School at Genesis, I spend a lot of my time working with other leaders in the College as we consider its future. Together, we are building on the great Christian foundation of our College, with future-focused, innovative teaching and learning programs, and a school culture which the whole Genesis community loves.The vision I hold for our students is that they can grow into all of the aspects that make them them—their academics, culture and spirit—while preparing them for a future none of us can imagine just yet!Our God has designed each of our students to be unique and precious to Him. It is our job as Genesis educators to create a safe place where children are free to discover themselves and who they are in Christ—no matter their skills, talents or ways of engaging in learning.I believe Christ-likeness and perseverance are really important. Sometimes following Christ’s example seems easy and sometimes it can be difficult. But with perseverance and His help, we can keep striving to be more like Christ every day.Music has always been my passion and I have spent a lot of my professional career travelling around Australia and the world playing the trumpet for well-known bands and orchestras. For me, it’s the creative and aesthetic sides of music and the arts that drives me to create something similar in schools—inspiring and creative places where children love to come and learn.I’m married to Megan, a fellow primary teacher, and we have two daughters: Stella and Martha, who also attend Genesis.Resources mentioned in this episode:Free Download of The Leadership Survival Guide (10 World-Class Leaders Reveal Their Secrets)The Leadership Conversations PodcastThe Jonno White Leadership PodcastThe Leadership Question of the Day PodcastClarity Website7 Questions on Leadership SeriesWe'd Love To Interview YOU In Our 7 Questions On Leadership Series!Subscribe To Clarity's Mailing ListJonno White's eBook Step Up or Step OutJonno White's Book Step Up or Step Out (Amazon)
