“One of the big lessons anyone can take out of COVID was that everyone was forced to live in a world that was out of control and you just had to adapt and respond.” This is a special episode only available to our podcast subscribers, which we call The Mini Chief. These are short, sharp highlights from our fabulous guests, where you get a 5 to 10 minute snapshot from their full episode. This Mini Chief episode features David Knoff, Antarctic Expedition Leader and author of 537 Days of Winter . His full episode is titled: High-stakes risk and crisis management, and being adaptable around your mission. You can find the full audio and show notes here: 🎧👉 chiefmaker.com/355 👂 DOWNLOAD THE CHIEF MAKER OPERATING RHYTHM HOW TO GUIDE AND PUT YOUR VISION AND MISSION INTO ACTION FAST: chiefmaker.com/operatingrhythm David brings over 15 years of experience and expertise in diplomacy, conflict resolution, resilience and remote leadership in some of the world's most challenging environments, where he has faced extreme adversity head-on. From serving as a young Platoon Commander in the Solomon Islands to a pivotal diplomatic posting in Pakistan during a period of intense regional conflict, David’s journey has been shaped by moments that demand empathy, adaptability, and strength in uncertainty. David took a sabbatical as a photographer in Turkey, capturing the Dastories of refugees escaping the Syrian conflict, before working in high-stakes environments to contribute to the international fight against ISIS. More recently, he led Australia’s Davis Research Station in Antarctica, navigating the isolation of COVID-19 and an extended mission in one of the harshest environments on earth. Off the back of that, he has just released a book called 537 Days of Winter, and he discusses in the episode the harrowing life and death story that inspired it. In the full Masterclass we will share: ✅ Being comfortable with uncertainty and not being under control ✅ His anecdotal evidence on human response mechanisms to fear and threat ✅ How to factor in risk and crisis management in strategic planning, and balancing this process with instinctive action, and ✅ Being adaptable around your mission, in particular his experiences during the COVID-induced extended mission where they were stranded in the Antarctic.

“ Make it your goal in 2025 to not just simplify, but focus. Get more dialed in on just a few things, stuff that will make a difference. Make some hard calls. ” In our final episode for 2024, we are going to cover the five big themes from 2024 that are going to be vital in 2025. I'm seeing these 5 themes emerge more and more through the work we do with executives and boards. And what I'm seeing is if we don't all lean in and get better at these five things, life is going to get more difficult and frustrating and we're going to find it harder and harder to win. Chief, the best executives right now are nailing these things. And all the best organisations need people with these five traits right now, more than ever. 🎧👉 chiefmaker.com/353 👂 INFLUENCE DIFFICULT STAKEHOLDERS USING THIS STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE: chiefmaker.com/stakeholders Stay epic, Greg Follow Chief Maker 📝 Subscribe to the Finish Strong monthly newsletter and podcast drops 👍 Follow Chief Maker on LinkedIn 📈 Join the waitlist for the Chief Maker MiniMBA 🎓 Take one of the Chief Maker Academy courses 🍏 Subscribe to The Inner Chief podcast on Apple Podcasts 🎵 Subscribe to The Inner Chief podcast on Spotify 🎬 Subscribe to the Chief Maker YouTube channel 🤝 Connect with the Chief Maker…

“ Your brand or your reputation is what people say about you when you're not in the room. ” Chief, today we are going to guide you through the process of mastering the art of influencing stakeholders and partners, such that it catapults you forward (and upwards!) in your career. Stakeholders have a huge impact - negatively and positively - on your career and your personal life whether you like it or not. These people can be your corporate peers, suppliers, customers, board members, executive team members, your boss, the community, media, anyone out there who's got a key stake in what you do. As such, getting buy-in from difficult stakeholders is one of the most important tasks and skills of all senior executives and leaders. 🎧👉 chiefmaker.com/349 👂 INFLUENCE DIFFICULT STAKEHOLDERS USING THIS STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE: chiefmaker.com/stakeholders In this episode, I talk about: ✅ Sharing a few personal success stories of why strong stakeholder management works ✅ The 4 most powerful tips for building key stakeholder relationships, and ✅ A free downloadable we’ve created for you to develop plans and strategies, and then to be able to execute them with confidence.
