Fantastic news!! We're launching the next Series (10/11/12) of The Global Business Insights Podcast — and we're on a mission to find the greatest, most talented and forward thinking leaders out there in the Procurement & Finance world. We aren't looking for the ones who think they have it all figured out. We are looking for the real leaders - the ones who've faced setbacks, learned through pressure, and built resilience by actually doing the work and not just talking about it. Series 10/11/12 (and possibly beyond as this is such a rich topic) focus: Tech Procurement & Finance Leaders We want to hear from senior leaders who: 👉 Have built influence without relying on job title 👉Navigate complexity without adding chaos 👉Lead teams through sustained pressure without burning them out 👉Understand that leadership is about creating conditions, not just pushing harder Why this matters: 👉There's a lot of content out there about leadership. 👉We're interested in leaders who ACTUALLY live it. The conversations we have aren't performative — they're real. We explore what actually works when the pressure's on, when the budget's tight, when the team's stretched, and when the easy answers don't exist. What we've built so far: 📘 A book — Don't Shout at the Vegetables — that reframes leadership from pressure-driven to conditions-led 🎓 Leadership training programmes - successful and growing — building commercial confidence in AP, Finance and Procurement teams at some of the worlds largest organisations (and more to come). 🎙 A podcast platform — 20,000 monthly listeners across all channels, with some incredible senior Tech Procurement, Shared Service and Finance leaders already confirmed for Series 10. 💡 Decision intelligence tools — SPIE (launching soon) — giving leaders visibility across spend, payment, supplier risk and carbon - message us to join our early adopter community. 🧠 Cognitive support technology — Kevin/Second Self — helping leaders manage overwhelm and complexity without burning out - also coming soon - message us to join our early adopter community. This isn't theory. This is how leadership actually happens. If you're a senior leader in Tech Procurement, Finance, Shared Services or AP — and you've got a story worth telling — let's talk. Drop me a message or comment below - if you think you have a story to tell, let's hear it. Series 10 recording starts July. Let's build something that actually helps people lead better. — Max #Leadership #Procurement #Finance #Resilience #TechLeadership #AccountsPayable #SharedServices #Podcast
