21 - Unearthing Human Assets, Business Transformation, Authenticity, Cultural Intelligence

Alongsider is in conversation with Philippa White, CEO of TIE Leadership (The International Exchange). We hear how inspiration at her uncle's funeral (he was doctor to Nelson Mandela) moved her to start her business. TIE offers people an experiential challenge that brings them fully alive to who they are in a visceral way - quite unlike other development programmes. 'I take leaders and teams to edge of their mental maps, and gently nudge them off.' We hear how a programme in Malawi influenced not just the locality, the nation but then Global Community. This is a very different kind of intervention which has the potential to really influence the world of work forever. Her recent book 'ROH - return on humanity' captures stories across sectors and continents and seeks to influence and 'challenge broken systems'. An amazing conversation, Phillipa's enthusiasm is infectious.
