Podcast Overview

As a leader, you are always making choices. Even when you think you have no choice. And if you are unable to make a decision, you are choosing to stay in a state of indecision. The only question is - are your choices taking you where you want to go? I am Sumit Gupta, and this is "Choosing Leadership" - a podcast for high performers with big dreams - who know deep inside that there is more. This is a podcast for people who know they are more powerful than the level they are currently playing. I have spent a long time feeling powerless, and that is why I see where you are powerful even when you cannot. I dare to say what most people would not. I dare to speak to the "tremendous power" which you already have rather than what you believe are your strengths and limitations. This podcast is called "choosing leadership" - because that is what leadership is - a choice. The choice to step into the unknown. The choice to see fear as a friend. The choice to take courageous action rather than waiting for readiness. Join Sumit in exploring this question when it comes to your leadership. In each moment of life, are you Deploying Yourself or not? In each moment of life, are you Choosing Leadership or not?

Leadership Journeys [294] - Gaspar Rodriguez - "You don't need to become someone else to belong."

This is the Leadership Journey series on the Choosing Leadership Podcast.I believe we all have a lot to learn from each other's stories - of where we started, where we are now, and our successes and struggles on the way. With this series of interviews, I attempt to give leaders an opportunity to share their stories and for all of us to learn from their generous sharing. If you know a leader whom you would like to see celebrated on the show, please send me a message on LinkedIn with their name.What if building a company had more in common with ultracycling than you ever imagined? In this powerful conversation, Gaspar Rodriguez, founder and CEO of Blue Road Academy, shares how resilience, belonging, and the willingness to keep moving forward have shaped both his leadership journey and his life. He opens up about navigating failure, making imperfect decisions, building a strong organisational culture, and turning personal adversity into purpose. For leaders facing uncertainty, setbacks, or the challenge of bringing different people together, Gaspar offers a refreshing reminder that you don’t have to conquer the entire journey at once—you simply need to take the next step. This is a conversation about choosing leadership, embracing the journey, and recognising just how much potential can emerge when people feel seen, valued, and empowered. You can find Gaspar Rodriguez at the links below<ul><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/gaspar-rodriguez/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/gaspar-rodriguez/</a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/blueroadacademy/">https://www.linkedin.com/company/blueroadacademy/</a></li></ul> In the interview, Gaspar shares<ul><li>“Whether you’re building a company or cycling 500 kilometres, you don’t conquer the whole journey at once. You focus on the next step, the next challenge, and keep moving forward.”</li><li>“The desire to belong is universal. No matter where we come from, we all want to feel that we matter and that we have a place.”</li><li>“When you enter a new environment, your value doesn’t disappear. You bring your experiences, your perspective, and everything you’ve learned along the way.”</li><li>“Leadership isn’t about making perfect decisions. It’s about making the best decision you can with the information and circumstances you have, then having the courage to learn from it.”</li><li>“Sometimes the hardest experiences in life become the very things that build our resilience and reveal what we’re truly capable of.”</li><li>“Refugees are often defined by what they’ve lost. We need to start seeing them for what they bring—their resilience, their experience, and their untapped potential.”</li><li>“You don’t have to be the perfect manager to be a powerful leader. Leadership starts with having a clear purpose, a compelling vision, and the willingness to bring others along.”</li><li>“Sustainable growth happens when you stop trying to create the vision alone and empower the people around you to shape it with you.”</li><li>“Real inclusion isn’t simply giving people a place at the table. It’s recognising the contribution they are capable of making once they’re there.”</li><li>“Life isn’t a series of tasks to be conquered. It’s a journey to be experienced, and every step forward is a testament to your resilience and potential.”</li></ul>

Leadership Journeys [293] - James Tattersfield - "Confidence is built by making mistakes repeatedly."

This is the Leadership Journey series on the Choosing Leadership Podcast.I believe we all have a lot to learn from each other's stories - of where we started, where we are now, and our successes and struggles on the way. With this series of interviews, I attempt to give leaders an opportunity to share their stories and for all of us to learn from their generous sharing. If you know a leader whom you would like to see celebrated on the show, please send me a message on LinkedIn with their name.Leadership isn't about having all the answers, it's about having the courage to keep growing. In this conversation, James Tattersfield, CEO of Polar Insights, shares how curiosity, failure, observation, and even mountaineering have shaped the leader he is today. You'll discover why confidence is earned through experience, how to make better decisions under pressure, and why staying close to the people you serve is one of the greatest competitive advantages a leader can have. Whether you're leading a startup, a global organisation, or simply trying to become a better leader, this episode offers practical insights you can put into action immediately. If you're ready to lead with greater clarity, resilience, and authenticity, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

It’s built by stepping into the unknown, making mistakes, and doing it again.”</li><li>“Observation is a leadership superpower. The more you understand people before you act, the better your decisions become.”</li><li>“The best leaders don’t rush to prove themselves. They take time to observe, understand, and then act with intention.”</li><li>“Real confidence comes from experience—not from getting everything right, but from learning through failure.”</li><li>“Leadership isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about making decisions that align with your values, even when they’re difficult.”</li><li>“The mountains teach what boardrooms often can’t: perspective, resilience, and the ability to stay grounded under pressure.”</li><li>“Personal growth isn’t separate from professional success. The more you grow as a person, the better you lead others.”</li><li>“Great organisations are built on stakeholder proximity—staying close enough to customers, employees, and partners to make better decisions.”</li><li>“The strongest leaders combine data with intuition, balancing evidence, experience, and authenticity when making decisions.”</li><li>“Choosing leadership means choosing growth over comfort, courage over certainty, and purpose over playing small.”</li></ul>
