   Episode 30: Kristen Hansen, Neuroscience, Leadership and Performance.

   What happens when leaders keep giving people the answers instead of helping them think for themselves? In a world of AI, uncertainty and constant change, leaders need people who can think clearly, adapt quickly and make good decisions under pressure. In this episode, Mark Bilton speaks with Kristen Hansen, International Speaker and Leadership Neuroscience Expert, about what neuroscience can teach us about leadership, performance and the way people respond under pressure. Kristen explains why traditional command-and-control leadership is becoming less effective, how emotional states influence decision-making and team performance, and why asking better questions can help develop more capable, independent thinkers. They also explore emotional and social intelligence, how leaders can regulate their own state, the importance of white space and brain breaks, and why giving people greater ownership can help move teams from compliance to commitment. Kristen founded EnHansen Performance after seeing that the so-called “soft skills” of leadership were often undervalued. Her work uses practical neuroscience to help leaders better understand themselves, develop others and improve performance. A practical conversation for leaders who want to think better, lead better and help their people perform at their best.

   Episode 28: Neil Livingstone | Founder Freedom: Financial Leadership, Cash Flow and Scaling Your Business

   Growing revenue does not always mean building a stronger business. Many founders reach a point where the business becomes more complex, cash feels tighter, and the decisions that once came naturally become increasingly difficult. The skills that helped build the business are not always the same skills needed to scale it. In this episode, Mark Bilton is joined by Neil Livingstone, an experienced CFO, commercial advisor, and Co-Founder of Founder Freedom. CPA qualified through PwC, Neil has spent decades helping founders strengthen cash flow, improve working capital, build financial operating systems, and transition from founder to CEO. Together, they explore why financial leadership is about far more than understanding the numbers. It is about creating clarity, building disciplined operating rhythms, making better decisions, embracing AI with purpose, and developing businesses that generate sustainable, long-term wealth. If you are a founder, CEO, business owner, or executive leader looking to build a stronger, more resilient organisation, this conversation offers practical insights you can begin applying immediately. About Neil Livingstone Neil Livingstone is a CFO Advisor, commercial advisor, and Co-Founder of Founder Freedom. He specialises in cash velocity, forecasting discipline, working capital, and financial operating systems that help ambitious businesses scale with confidence. His experience spans capital raising, strategic growth, and guiding founders through successful business exits. About Lead Well Live Well Lead Well Live Well equips founders, CEOs, executives, and leadership teams to lead with greater clarity, strategy, and purpose through practical leadership conversations, strategic advisory, and executive development.
