Leading with curiosity podcast: episode 7

Ian Chisholm, founder of Roy Group Leadership, has courageous views on what it means to be a Mentor, and why we can’t call ourselves one. Trained by members of the British SAS, Ian has spent years leading a program on the Isle of Sky where at-risk teens from tough parts of Glasgow and around Scotland had the opportunity to coach, and be coached by, executive leaders. 

Ian is significantly impacting my career in leadership development and executive coaching as a learning lead and executive coach on his talented roster. If you care about the way you choose to show up as a leader, and are curious about its impact on the atmosphere it creates in your organization, team, and family, please enjoy this conversation.

in this episode Ian and Nate explore

  • Leadership being needed more than ever as a force to address new and current problems.
  • Mentorship used an indicator to assess leadership is taking place. Why ‘Mentor’ should only be used as a gift word. 
  • Controlling ones conduct and the importance of knowing the time and place to use different leadership tools. 
  • How executives and kids from tough socio-economic backgrounds provided value by creating new ways of thinking about problems.
  • Letting go of the need to have all the right answers, and understanding what conduct, questions and processes help move a group toward their goals.
