Episode description
My guest this week is Chris Williams.

Chris has been the Leadership Development Manager at Huddersfield University for 2 ½ years now; having been a key cog in the Leadership Development team at Sky for over 6 years before that.
I actually attended his programme at Sky, as a first-time leader myself… and I’m glad I did. I think it’s safe to say that Chris isn’t a ‘Trainer’s Guide’ kinda guy, nor is he into pointless dancing energisers that fill time and make most people feel incredibly uncomfortable… why do L&D still do that?!
What Chris is, however, is a leadership expert with a strong sense of responsibility to and for the Leaders under his watch; maximising the impact of his time with them and following that up with targeted coaching conversations that never ‘feel’ targeted, and rarely feels like coaching.
So, let’s hear more about him, his influences and his thoughts, as I welcome Chris to the show.
