Peridot Partners: Conversations with Leaders

What if you are a different type of leader? Do you look around and struggle to see people like you? Here at Peridot we're talking to leaders who lead differently. They're people who embrace qualities like empathy, vulnerability, conviction, patience, curiosity, courage and creativity to support the people around them to be the best versions of themselves. They're not afraid to talk about love - whether that's loving your career or looking after themselves and their own wellbeing. Our leaders come from all walks of life and different sectors but they all have a couple of things in common - transparency and candour when talking about their leadership journey. We're Peridot Partners and we're an executive search agency working with people who see things differently and lead better.

Conversations with Leaders: Julie Nerney

May 28, 2019 • Peridot Partners • Season 1 • Episode 1

Our first leader is Julie Nerney who despite having led 14 different organisations still describes her CV as looking like 'insects have died on a piece of paper'.

A seasoned Chair, NHS non-executive director and transformation expert, Julie's favourite job was head of transport integration at the London organising committee of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. In early 2019 she joined the Association of Colleges as their new Chair.

In this first episode, which took place after an 'unlearning' leadership event, Julie talks about what it means to be a leader, why empathy is key and why leadership starts at board level. She's joined by Peridot managing director, Grant Taylor and the conversation is hosted by Emma Wrafter, strategic engagement lead at Peridot.

Hear Julie and Grant talk about why 'love' is important to leading an organisation for growth.
