Every week, as part of my Inspiring Leadership with Jonathan Bowman-Perks podcast series, I speak with a different guest who offers their insightful wisdom about all things leadership. This series is aimed at inspiring leaders, whatever level you are at.

This series provides you with the skills, stories, tips and techniques which you can pass on to those you lead, and your teams.
