    The Human Side of Leadership: What Makes a Great Leader? with Oliver Rendell

    The Human Side of Leadership: What Makes a Great Leader? with Oliver Rendell What actually makes someone a great leader? Is it their job title, technical expertise or position in an organisation or is leadership really about who you are and how you influence the people around you? In this episode of Catapult Your Career, Michael is joined by his friend and fellow coach Oliver for a conversation about leadership, career development and why your career doesn't need to follow a perfectly straight path. Oliver brings a wealth of experience from a 20 year career in the pharmaceutical industry alongside an impressive collection of other roles. He is Chair of CLAPA (the Cleft Lip and Palate Association), mentors with children's charity Kids Inspire, is an ICF ACC coach and co-leads the Essex UK ICF group with Michael. He is also a Fellow, Trustee and Deputy Chair of the Institute of Leadership. Together, Michael and Oliver explore the lessons they've learned from getting leadership right and sometimes getting it wrong. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why your career can be more like a jigsaw than a traditional ladder. How true leadership is about influence rather than authority or job title. How experiences outside of work can help develop valuable leadership skills. Why empathy and being human are essential qualities of great leadership. How psychological safety creates teams where people feel comfortable speaking up and asking for help. Why great leaders don’t need all the answers and instead know how to ask great questions. Why you don’t need your entire career figured out to keep moving in the right direction. 🔗 CONNECT WITH MICHAEL Website- https://www.michaelglassockcoaching.com/ Michael's Linkedin- https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelglassock/ Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/michaelglassockcoaching/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH OLIVER Oliver's Linkedin- https://www.linkedin.com/in/oliver-rendell/

    From Revenue to Reality: Why Cash Flow is the Lifeblood of Your Business with Robert Woolfson

    In this episode, we’re joined by Robert Woolfson, a cash flow specialist who helps businesses bridge the gap between financial data and real world growth. With a background spanning IT, recruitment, and business ownership, Robert works closely with SMEs to improve profitability, efficiency, and long term sustainability without relying solely on increasing sales. 🔑 Key Takeaways High turnover doesn’t guarantee financial success, businesses can generate millions in revenue while still operating at a loss. Cash flow reflects how well every part of your business is functioning, from pricing to operations. Improving internal systems and processes can significantly increase profit without needing more customers. Many businesses struggle not from lack of effort, but from poor systems, unclear roles, and lack of operational flow. Expanding too quickly without understanding financials can amplify losses instead of profits. Passion + skill + market demand = opportunity. Test ideas before scaling to validate if people will pay. Ethical sales is about listening, understanding, and solving real problems, not just pushing a product. 🔗 CONNECT WITH ME Website- https://www.michaelglassockcoaching.com/ Linkedin- https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelglassock/ Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/michaelglassockcoaching/ Tik Tok- (4)MG (@michaelglassockcoaching) | TikTok 🔗 CONNECT WITH ROBERT Linkedin- https://www.linkedin.com/in/robwoolfson/

    Leadership, Career Growth & Finding Purpose in Public Service with James Wilson

    Leadership, Career Growth & Finding Purpose in Public Service with James Wilson In this episode, Michael sits down with James Wilson, Lead Director for the Mid and South Essex Community Collaborative. With over 25 years of experience across local government and the NHS, James shares his journey into public service, his leadership philosophy, and how collaboration can transform healthcare outcomes. Together, they explore career development, leadership growth, and the importance of aligning your work with your values. Key Takeaways You don’t need a perfect career plan, as exploring different roles can help you discover what truly motivates you. Career growth is rarely linear, so focus on where you add value rather than chasing titles. Self-awareness is essential for leadership, as understanding your values and behaviours helps you lead authentically. Kindness and compassion are critical leadership strengths, especially in high-pressure environments. Great leaders choose curiosity over frustration when working with different personalities and perspectives. Effective leadership requires balancing the drive for results with the ability to bring people along with you. 🔗 CONNECT WITH ME Website- https://www.michaelglassockcoaching.com/ Linkedin- https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelglassock/ Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/michaelglassockcoaching/ Tik Tok- (4)MG (@michaelglassockcoaching) | TikTok 🔗 CONNECT WITH JAMES Linkedin- https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-wilson-87109321/

    Beyond the Classroom: Navigating Career Change After Teaching

    Beyond the Classroom: Navigating Career Change After Teaching In this powerful and honest episode of Catapult Your Career, Michael sits down with someone very special his wife, co-founder, and former teacher, Jess. Together, they unpack her seven year journey in education, the emotional decision to leave teaching, and how wellbeing became the foundation for her career transition. Jess shares the raw realities of teaching, the identity shift that comes with leaving a profession you once loved, and how she found clarity through yoga, reflection, and courage. 🔑 Key Takeaways: Passion can evolve- Just because you once loved something doesn’t mean it must last forever. Burnout often happens in survival mode- When you’re constantly “go, go, go,” reflection becomes impossible. Identity loss is real- Leaving teaching felt like losing a part of who she was. Write it down- Jess listed her skills, values, wants, and non-negotiables to map possible next steps. Wellbeing isn’t optional- Yoga became her anchor a daily practice that helped her regulate stress and think clearly. Trust the process- Even when you feel lost, clarity often comes after you take the first brave step. 🔗 CONNECT WITH ME Website- https://www.michaelglassockcoaching.com/ Linkedin- https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelglassock/ Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/michaelglassockcoaching/ Tik Tok- (4)MG (@michaelglassockcoaching) | TikTok 🔗 CONNECT WITH JESS Linkedin- Jessica Glassock | LinkedIn Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/jmgyoga?igsh=ajNvd3BveHJwd2Uz Book an online yoga class- https://gymcatch.com/app/provider/7388 🔗 OTHER LINKS CYC Online Portal (Yoga Classes Included)- https://michael-glassock.mykajabi.com/catapult-your-career-portal-1984363b-8c83-4087-bc08-752141702cb3 Yoga Teacher Training Course- https://www.yintotheyangyoga.co.uk/essexyogateachertraining200hours
