040: The Consciousness of Dignity | Tracey Groves

Tracey Groves is the founder of Intelligent Ethics with a passion for working with leaders to hard wire purpose into everything they know, do and believe using ESG (environmental, social and governance issues) as a powerful force for the delivery of sustainable and responsible business. Tracey outlines the 10 essential ingredients of Dignity and explains how this relates to our sense of inherent value and worth. Dignity is the hallmark of our shared humanity, we don't earn or gain it, we are born with it. Dignity is all about human connectivity that surpasses respect and trust. More importantly, Tracey explains how Dignity can be violated or broken in relation to ourselves or others with dire consequences.Watch & Subscribe: 👀 https://www.youtube.com/@theleadersenigma/videosListen & Subscribe: 🎙️ https://open.spotify.com/show/5NSnRyHzPmyY5OWhGzKU5Pwww.leadersenigma.com Hosted on Acast.

039: Presence Has Value | Chris Clark

Chris Clark is Global Head, RoZi Mission at UCB pharma. Chris travelled to Rwanda and experienced a moment when all his knowledge, talent, wisdom, language skills and leadership capabilities meant absolutely nothing. From the fog of panic, during an incident beyond his control, Chris realised that his mere presence had value. A lesson he took back to Atlanta to become a leader who could help others unfold their talent and embrace fear and uncertainty. We also discuss our combined experiences of visiting the Rwandan Genocide Museum and how out of a dark past, Rwanda can teach us so much about resilience, resourcefulness and humanity.  Watch & Subscribe: 👀 https://www.youtube.com/@theleadersenigma/videosListen & Subscribe: 🎙️ https://open.spotify.com/show/5NSnRyHzPmyY5OWhGzKU5Pwww.leadersenigma.com Hosted on Acast.
