In this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor sits down with leadership expert and Global Business Nomad Liam Forde to explore what it really means to build human-centred organisations that create lasting impact.

Liam Forde is the founder & CEO of The Zone, which empowers people to integrate their head and their heart, unlock their whole person and unleash the collective intelligence of their organisations and teams.

In this podcast, we talk about the lessons he has learned from building his own company up to 600 staff & $30 million revenue as well as the lessons he has worked with some of the largest companies around the world.

  • Who am I?
  • What do I stand for (or against)?
  • Where am I going?
  • What is my mission/purpose?

Leadership, culture and sustainability are defined by your answers to these questions. Life is a balance between your inner world and your outer world.

How you define yourself is one of the most important tasks you will ever undertake because this directs how you will interact with the world, with others, your family, friends and work colleagues.

As a leader, we create big ripples. We create ripples as much by how we are being as what we are doing. What legacy do you want to leave?

Do you want to be a net Giver or a net Taker?

This is how Liam introduces himself on his LinkedIn Profile. He has worked in over 35 countries in dozens of different settings from Africa to Australia, Asia to America, the Middle East to Europe....in mud huts and in corporate towers.

His mission is to show leaders how to be masters of their own destiny, and to pay that forward.

By making organisations more human, they unlock performance, talent, value, and happiness. Be better, do better. Make your organisation more human. Make the world more sustainable.
