Hi everyone,

I’m super excited to share this video I shot with John Read; a successful Agri Business owner, entrepreneur and a friend of mine after a breakfast event I was speaking at.

John provides some excellent leadership tips from his experience and while this was filmed in April, I think it is really timely given our current ongoing lockdown in Tamaki Makaurau.

I’ve decided to share the entire 4.15 min video in this blog and will only release snippets on Linkedin as follow ups.

Key content:

• Tell me about a time you’ve learnt a valuable leadership lesson the hard way?

• What is a small shift in leadership that would have a big impact?

• What are some practical leadership tips for emerging leaders?

• Lastly there are some bonus ideas on why culture is super important which are excellent!

NB: I’ve been absent for a few months from blogging as have been delivering to clients in an increasingly virtual way and enjoying that change.

I’ve also been doing some work on shooting better videos through an On Camera Presence course with a friend of mine, Mo Macrae, which I can’t recommend highly enough. Unfortunately I shot this before I did the course but the gold from John is too good to not share with you!

As always love to hear what you found most useful.

Ngā Mihi,

Mark
