The secrets of good boardroom leadership: A Corporate Governance Podcast

The secrets of good boardroom leadership: In this episode of the corporate governance podcast, we look at what qualities directors need to display top-quality leadership among their colleagues.

Boardrooms are, by their nature, tough landscapes to conquer and if you want to take the helm that kind of high stakes environment, it’s not enough to be good, you need to be beautiful – that’s according to our guest today, Dawn Stallwood, legal expert and counsel with over 30 years’ experience, and author of Beautiful Leadership: Your personal framework for authentic impact. 

In this episode, Dan chats with Dawn about what it means to be a strong leader in the boardroom, as well as the main challenges that come alongside such as succession planning and impostor syndrome. 

Dawn brings many years of experience in serving leaders both in the UK, where she’s based, and further afield as well. Having spent time in-house at a law firm partnership and as a business owner, Dawn is committed to supporting the next generation of beautiful leaders to bring their best into the role.

Leadership Counsel Dawn Stallwood has close to 30 years serving and working closely with leaders and their management teams. Her facilitation and work have been international as well as across types and sizes of business and organisation.

Dawn’s background and experience have made Beautiful Leadership a reality. She comes from a professional services (commercial and M&A lawyer and notary) background.

Having spent time in-house, law firm partnership and business owner, Dawn is committed to supporting her Beautiful Leaders and the next generation of apprentice leaders bring their best into role, deal or decision – and whilst doing so, grow in her own leadership capacity and impact.
