In this week’s pod, we were joined by Richard Medcalf to discuss making time for strategy.
Richard Medcalf describes himself as "what you get if you were to put a McKinsey consultant, a slightly unorthodox pastor and an entrepreneur into a blender".
He is the founder of Xquadrant and a trusted advisor to exceptional CEOs and entrepreneurs, and their leadership teams.The main topics we discussed on the podcast were as follows:



  • Find your rocket fuel! Having a sense of purpose will help to drive you during your career

  • Make investments to create a better future

  • We live in a world of infinity – emails / books / communications. Try to beat with productivity

  • Think about TIME:



  • Tactics

  • Influence

  • Mindset

  • Environment



  • Check your personal values and mindset. What do you do that creates value for your stakeholders?

  • Aim to create “strategic time”. Start with achievable and small blocks and see the benefit of the ability to focus on a particular project



Here are links to some of the topics we discussed:
