Brendan didn’t come from training or HR but started in advertising and marketing – but it was ‘why do people do what they do?’ that fascinated him. Coming from a competitive sailing background he saw the power of chemistry and leadership when it came to bringing together teams. He started SeachangeNow in 2006 to help leaders to be the most effective, human and impactful they can be.
In this episode, he and Scott talk about empathy and how many senior leaders are disconnected from their people and change starting with everyone in the business.
