Dads in advertising (or actually...in any industry), this one's for you 🧡
We sat down with James Fox to discuss parenthood and how it transforms your leadership style for the better.
And in James case, having kids with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and a big job can completely change your perspective for the better.
Because compassionate leaders create working environments to support whatever their employees are holding onto outside of work.
And that creates a supportive environment for you to do your best work.
James and I reunited and chitchatted about:
💡 parenting SEN kids: how raising his two gorgeous boys completely transformed his approach.
💡why the best leaders lead with curiosity, compassion and patience - because you never truly know what someone is carrying outside of work.
💡why a perspective shift makes you fiercely protective of your time and who you spend it with.
💡 normalising therapy - why putting therapy sessions directly into your open diary sets a powerful precedent for workplace well-being.
A massive thank you to James - who is an extremely compassionate leader and a beautifully genuine human.
After Work with...James Fox, former CEO @ Havas London
