Drawing on over 25 years of experience in leadership communications, including 16 years holding senior positions at the world’s top PR consultancies, Antoinette reflects on why gravitas is so important to leadership, her keys to impact &amp; influence, and how we can get more people into the room when they’re not being heard.

From HR to Strategic Leadership: Steve Widdoss on Earning a Seat at the Table

In this episode, I speak with Steve Widdoss, Chief People Officer of One Physics, about what it takes for HR to become a truly strategic leadership function.

We also explore leading through growth, organisational transformation and acquisition, the importance of helping leaders manage themselves through uncertainty, and how AI is reshaping the future of work without diminishing the importance of human leadership.
