Conversations with Leaders: Rachel Lambert-Forsyth Artwork

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: Rachel Lambert-Forsyth

February 14, 2020 • Peridot Partners • Season 1 • Episode 9

In this Conversations with Leaders podcast we talk to Rachel Lambert-Forsyth, Director of Membership and Professional Affairs at The Royal Society of Biology.

Rachel was a guest speaker at our Future of Membership Organisations event in January 2020 where she talked about how you attract younger members – from developing personas to really mapping out their needs and career journey.

Rachel will join the British Pharmacological Society as their new CEO in March 2020 and so we also discuss how she knew she was ready to make the step up to CEO.

In this episode we talk about:

When do you know you're ready to become a CEO;
How do you prepare to start your first CEO role;
Imposter syndrome and how she over came it;
Being a young director;
ACEVO's New & Emerging Leaders Programme;
How to attract younger members to your membership organisation;
Future challenges and opportunities for membership bodies.
