What does it mean to truly have the character of a leader? Is culture really something we can influence in an organisation?

Watch our conversation on YouTube!

Shane Hatton is an author, trainer, coach, and speaker who is passionate about developing remarkable leaders and cultures. He works with organizations to close the leadership gap between mid and senior level leaders.

Aside from being the author of the books “Let’s Talk Culture – The Conversations You Need to Create the Team You Want” and “Lead The Room – Communicate a Message That Counts in Moments That Matter”, Shane is also a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach, a member of the Forbes Global Coaches Council, and is the Founder of the People Leaders Network.

I met Shane on the Clubhouse app, where we had various conversations around various topics, but it was when I attended his book launch earlier this year in Sydney that we finally got to meet in real life.

In this conversation, you’ll hear Shane discuss:

His book, “Let’s Talk Culture – The Conversations You Need to Create the Team You Want”
The insights of culture
Practical things leaders can do to build and reinforce their culture
His personal insights on how he handles his energy
How he manages the contrast of being the person in front of the room and while also thriving behind the scenes
