E63 - Guests: Steve Fletcher, Founder and CEO of The Leaders' Club

I'd love to hear from you; feel free to send me a Text MessageMy guest this week is Steve Fletcher, the Founder and CEO of The Leaders' Club (www.theleadersclub.org).I first met Steve almost exactly 10 years ago when I was transitioning out of the Royal Air Force and another colleague suggested I join The Leaders' Club.  I joined immediately and, since then, Steve and I have become good friends and, more recently, colleagues since I am now a Director and the Deputy CEO of the Club myself.As Steve explains in the interview, he founded The Leaders' Club back in 2008 on the back of some very personally challenging times for him professionally as the "credit crunch" hit his business extremely hard.  Over the years he has had a fascinating career journey mostly in the world of IT training, and he was also a Justice of Peace on the Wirral Bench for 33 years.  We had a great conversation and Steve speaks very frankly about what he always describes as "the banana skins of life", which he has encountered plenty of along the way.The Leaders' Club is essentially a members only networking group that meets most weeks (via Zoom with the occasional face-to-face event) for presentations from a very wide range of fascinating external speakers.  If you are interested in what the Club offers, please visit www.theleadersclub.org to find out more, and to join if you wish to become a member.  Although I am obviously biased, I find it a fascinating organisation and for a very modest fee you will get great value from the amazing presentations we are lucky enough to receive.You can find Steve here:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephenpefletcher/I really hope you enjoy this episode and, if you do, please consider supporting the show via the link below.  You can also leave a review on your podcast provider's platform and / or send me some direct feedback.  I would be very grateful for your help with this as it all helps to enable the show to continue as it is.Support the showThank you for listening!  If you value the content I produce, please consider supporting the show financially by becoming a member at https://www.patreon.com/leading4life/ or clicking the "Support the Show" link above.You will have the choice of becoming a Supporter, a Champion or a Patron of the show and any contribution you feel able to make will be hugely appreciated.You can find more about me here:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/judsonbob/X: https://x.com/JudsonBobWebsite: https://leading4life.co.uk/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Leading4Life
