E24 - Guests: Jonathan Bowman-Perks, Podcast Host and Executive Coach

I'd love to hear from you; feel free to send me a Text MessageThis week's guest is Jonathan Bowman-Perks, a fellow podcast host and coach with a long and extremely successful track record in both.  Jonathan is a former Army officer who had a long and distinguished career before moving to the private sector.  Since he made that jump, his career has gone from strength to strength, with time at PWC, IBM and Penna before setting up his own leadership development and coaching business.  Jonathan's "Inspiring Leadership" podcast has a significant global following and I was privileged to be a guest on it towards the end of last year.  We had an immediate connection, not only because of our professional backgrounds but also because we both lost our fathers at a very similar age.  It was unsurprising therefore that we had a great conversation on both podcasts and this episode contains a wealth of advice, thoughts and tips from our collective experience of leadership development.I very much hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it!You can find Jonathan on LinkedIn here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanperks/In this interview we cover the following subjects (starting time in brackets):Jonathan's career journey (00.02.43)Early motivations (00.13.52)Adjustments to leadership style (00.22.59)Role models (00.34.35)The 3 "Hums" - great questions for any leader!
