Looking for insights to help you become a better leader and thrive amidst increasing uncertainty? I had the pleasure of talking with Louisa Loran, about this, her experience at DIAGEO, MAERSK, and Google, her new book Leadership Anatomy in Motion and so much more on Episode 120 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast.

In this episode, we will learn about:

How Louisa’s early interest in luxury products helped her towards her first job,

The qualities that helped Louisa build a successful career,

Focusing on always adding value in your role,

The four essential behaviors and what they entail: envisioning with ambition, expanding with curiosity, steering with decisiveness, and embodying change with presence,

How to transition successfully between different sectors,

Bringing about change and bringing people along with you,

Focusing on the big picture and potential opportunities rather than simply being busy,

Dealing with potential difficulties of different generations in the workplace,

Managing tensions and politics between departments and

What is an unconventional predictor?

Louisa has led transformative growth across some of the world’s most respected companies—DIAGEO, MAERSK, and Google. A strategic mind with a human lens, she has shaped industries by combining technological foresight with the courage to act before the path is clear. At Google, Louisa launched a billion-dollar supply chain solutions business, doubled growth in a global industry vertical, and led strategic business transformation for the company’s largest customers in EMEA—working at the forefront of AI, data, and platform innovation.

At MAERSK, she co-authored the strategy that redefined the brand globally and doubled its share price, helping pivot the company from traditional shipping to integrated logistics. Her career began in the luxury and FMCG space with Moët Hennessy and DIAGEO, where she built iconic brands and led innovation at the intersection of heritage and digital transformation.

Across more than two decades and all continents, Louisa has worked across B2B, B2C, and global tech— bridging commercial impact with human-centered change. Louisa also serves on the boards of Copenhagen Business School and CataCap Private Equity and is the author of Leadership Anatomy in Motion, published globally by Fast Company.

 Looking for neuroscience based insights to help build resilience, deal with adversity and manage a career reset. I had the pleasure of talking with my friend, Antara Prasad, about this and so much more on Episode 119 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast.

In this episode, we will learn about:

Her early interest in neuroscience in high school and working in Bruce McEwen’s Lab,

Managing your emotions when under stress,

Overcoming your fear/ limiting beliefs and taking that first step,

The importance of consistency and how hard work trumps talent alone,

Forming good habits and trusting the process,

Building resilience through embracing friction and setbacks,

How mentorship and volunteering can help professionals who are feeling stuck or burnt out reframe the situation,

Avoiding isolating yourself if you lose your job,

Reclaiming and reframing your career narrative if you’re looking to pivot and

Identifying the skills that set you apart and not underestimating their value even if they come easily.

Antara has been a change consultant and trusted advisor to leaders for over 20 years, working with clients like Pfizer, Kellogg’s, Hollister, Exelon, and Deloitte. Her approach draws on behavioural science and neuroscience to help people find the meaning behind change — because that’s what makes it stick.

She’s now channelling that same wisdom into Stand Out Student, her Substack newsletter helping teens build resilience, discipline, and confidence during their formative years. She’s also Board Chair of the Inside Out Club, a Chicago-area nonprofit empowering kids ages 6 to 18 to develop character through local service projects and social entrepreneurship.

What is a chronotype and how can it impact one’s professional and personal life? I had the pleasure of talking with Camilla Kring about this, her new book Chronoleadership and much more on Episode 113 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast.

In this episode, we will learn about:

Understanding time and our relationship to it,

How Camilla became interested in work-life balance,

What is a circadian rhythm and why is it important?,

The impact of living out of sync with your biological clock,

How workplaces tend to favour the early risers,

How can late risers thrive in large organisations,

The Trust Triangle,

Understanding what times of the days, you are most productive and

How leaders can promote chronodiversity.

With a PhD in work-life balance and expertise in chronobiology, she founded Super Navigators to help individuals and organizations create flexible workplaces that accommodate different chronotypes and family structures.

Looking to learn more about leadership and building great teams? I had the pleasure of talking with Liane Davey about this, her new book Thoughtload and much more on Episode 112 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast.

In this episode, we will learn about:

How Liane initially considered a career in academia but then pivoted to the private sector,

Understanding your special skills/ experience and using that as a way into the job you want,

Don’t underestimate the skills that come to you naturally and can help you stand out,

Why Liane focused on specialising in teams and improving their performance,

What makes a good leader?

The importance of good communication and how it can be developed.

What is thought load and why is managing it important?

How to become more focused and productive,

Differentiating between emotions and feelings at work,

Managing your energy can help your decision making and

Using your time productively when looking for work.

For over 25 years, Liane has researched and advised teams on how to achieve high performance, working with teams from the frontlines to the boardroom, across industries, and around the globe from Boston to Bangkok. In working with hundreds of teams, including dozens of Global Fortune 500 companies, she has developed a unique perspective on the challenges that teams face – and how to solve them.

Beyond her work in the boardroom, Liane is a New York Times Bestselling author of You First: Inspire Your Team to Grow Up, Get Along, and Get Stuff Done and The Good Fight: Use Productive Conflict to Get Your Team and Organization Back on Track and her new book Thoughtload: Manage the Madness and Free Your Team to Do Great Work. She is also a frequent contributor to Harvard Business Review and has been sought by media outlets for her expertise on fostering healthy teams. 

Liane has a PhD in Organizational Psychology from the University of Waterloo, Canada’s #1 Research University among comprehensive universities 10 years in a row.

How does a professional athlete build resilience, overcome the regular setbacks, which are part of an athlete’s life and maintain his wellbeing despite the constant pressure to succeed? I had the pleasure of talking with Ethan Bamber, professional cricketer at Warwickshire about this and much more on Episode 111 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast.

In this episode, we will learn about:

Developing self-awareness and understanding yourself,

Trusting the process,

Don’t overthink and embrace the pressure,

The importance of taking action and not just thinking,

Becoming comfortable with failure,

Overcoming your fears to take action,

How Ethan got his big break,

Building accountability within a team environment,

Leadership insights and building strong relationships,

How Ethan struggled during lockdown but managed to bounce back and

The benefits of talking through problems.

Ethan is a professional cricketer, who started his career at Middlesex until 2024 and then made a successful move to Warwickshire. Ethan is primarily a bowler and has taken over 200 first class wickets but made his first ever hundred earlier this year.

Ethan studied theology at Exeter University and an interesting family fact: his parents are professional actors and his father, David Bamber, acted in Valkyrie with Tom Cruise. Ethan is also a fellow Arsenal fan.
