Episode 17 | Can Leader Character apply to Formula Car Racing?
<p>In this episode Mary and I welcome Matt Crossan, who is Senior Simulation & Performance Engineer at Mahindra Racing in the UK which competes in the Formula E World Championship racing series. In Matt’s senior year in Engineering at Western University, Matt co-captained the Engineering School’s Formula Race team that ended up ranked 13th from among 500 of the world’s best engineering schools, up from 54th the previous year. This was Western’s best finish ever, and much of the credit is attributed to the team’s embracing of Leader Character. In this episode Matt tells his amazing story, sharing many of his experiences through the language and lens of leader character. He also discusses his subsequent career in Formula-E Car Racing and how leader character is an essential element of team success. After listening to this episode, we think you will be convinced that the more technical the endeavour, the more leader character can contribute to your organization’s success while still maintaining a strong sense of well-being. A super interesting conversation and a true example of the power of elevating character to the level of competence! </p> <p><br></p> <p>LINKS:</p> <ul> <li>Mary’s speech for O/S Award <a href="https://www.ivey.uwo.ca/news/news-ivey/2023/august/ivey-professor-mary-crossan-wins-academy-of-management-s-distinguished-educator-award/" target="_blank">https://www.ivey.uwo.ca/news/news-ivey/2023/august/ivey-professor-mary-crossan-wins-academy-of-management-s-distinguished-educator-award/</a></li> </ul>

Episode 16 | How can the Virtuosity App deliver Individual and Organizational Excellence?
<p>In this episode Mary and I once again welcome Dr. Corey Crossan. Corey has become the world’s foremost expert on Leader Character development. Corey answers LOTS of our questions including: How does Virtuosity enable “mass customization” and a “community of character development”? How does Virtuosity enable a “culture of Character”? How can Virtuosity minimize the load on the individual organizational “training curriculum”? How does Virtuosity allow an organization to track its “pulse” in real time? Is a partner important in Character development, and what makes for a good partner? How does Virtuosity encourage “doing” instead of just “thinking”? What is the Virtuosity “Organizational Dashboard” and how can it help organizations manage change and anticipate risk issues? How does Virtuosity protect people’s personal data? In our conversation we learned that Virtuosity is a revolutionary app that delivers tremendous insight and value to individuals and organizations alike. We hope you agree and take the next steps to get engaged with Virtuosity. </p> <p><br></p> <p>SOURCES / CITATIONS:</p> <ul> <li>Virtuosity App <a href="https://virtuositycharacter.ca/" target="_blank">https://virtuositycharacter.ca/</a></li> <li>Article "Cracking the Code: Leader Character Development for Competitive Advantage" <a href="https://www.cutter.com/article/cracking-code-leader-character-development-competitive-advantage" target="_blank">https://www.cutter.com/article/cracking-code-leader-character-development-competitive-advantage</a></li> </ul>

Episode 15 | How Can Improv support Leader Character Development?
<p>In this episode Mary and I welcome Kate Ashby, one of Canada’s best known and respected teachers of Improv. Kate has taught alongside Mary many times using Improv to develop Leader Character to graduate business students and executives alike. In our conversation we talk about using Improv to develop confidence, establish trust, practice taking risks, and learning to live with vulnerability. We discuss how, if we can improvise well, we need not fear any situation or unknown. We discuss making bravery contagious, the importance of movement, why making mistakes is good, and learning to “let go”. We discuss the power of play and fun, a safe way to get your body used to physiological stress, and how to think less about yourself and more about others. A delightful conversation that we hope you enjoy as much as we did. </p> <p><br></p> <p>If you are interested in contacting Kate about improv, you can reach her at <a href="mailto:k8@kateashbyacademy.com" target="_blank">k8@kateashbyacademy.com</a>.</p> <p><br></p> <p>SOURCES / CITATIONS:</p> <ul> <li>Vera, D.
