Influence isn’t created through titles, authority, or control.
Influence isn’t transactional.
It’s relational.
And it starts with how leaders show up every day.
Storytelling is a leadership skill, not a “nice to have”.
Every leader needs an origin story, the reason leadership matters, the moment it became personal, and the lesson that shaped how leadership shows up today.
This episode breaks down what effective problem solving really looks like in leadership, teams, and organisations
Drawing on decades of experience facilitating Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and defect elimination across industry.
Today Anton is sharing one of the most powerful leadership frameworks he’s heard in years, straight from his recent podcast conversation with Angie Zahra, General Manager of Stanwell Power Station and the only female GM in the energy generation industry in Australia.
The more conversations I have with leaders, the clearer it becomes… 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽.
After 70+ podcast episodes, countless Monday check-ins, and years of coaching leaders, one truth keeps showing up, the leaders who create real change aren’t the loudest or the most experienced. They’re the ones who know how to shape behaviour, build trust, and move people in the direction of possibility
Influence – it’s the silent force that defines great leadership.
In this session, I unpack what I’ve learned after years of speaking with CEOs, researchers, and leaders around the world about what it really means to influence others.
Influence isn’t about power or persuasion, it’s about how you show up, how you make people feel, and the language you use every day.
Influence isn’t about authority, it’s about connection, authenticity, and consistency.
You’ll discover how influential leaders build strong relationships based on trust and likeability, how they communicate with intention and empathy, and how they lead by example, because people don’t just listen to what you say, they watch what you do.
When the pressure’s on, true leadership shows up.
In this video, Anton Guinea from The Guinea Group shares insights from his real-life experience leading through crisis, including the CS Energy explosion that changed his life and inspired years of leadership research with CQU.
Preparation isn’t luck, it’s a process.
In this powerful training session, Anton Guinea breaks down the 5 key steps to prepare for any presentation or keynote, whether you’re speaking to a boardroom, a team, or a thousand people.
Public speaking doesn’t have to be scary, it’s a skill you can master.
In this 5-minute training, Anton Guinea shares three practical lessons learned from delivering over 1,000+ keynotes, workshops, and coaching sessions.
In over 15 one-on-one sessions and more than 100 leadership coaching programs, a consistent truth has emerged: people remember how leaders made them feel. Sometimes for decades! Poor leadership leaves scars, but great leadership leaves lasting growth.
This week’s focus is on the three qualities that set high-impact leaders apart — care, value, and support. Care means giving your time. Value means truly listening. Support means recognition, encouragement, and the powerful promise: I’ve got your back. When leaders create psychological safety, they enable teams to speak up, take risks, and perform at their best.
Leadership is never just about the work — it’s about creating safe, high-performing teams where people can thrive.
It’s one thing to build momentum, it’s another to show it clearly to yourself and your team. This week, we explored how to make progress visible and tangible through metrics, dashboards, and simple visual cues.
From traffic light systems and vision boards to tactile tools like magnets and pins, leaders can create clarity and energy by showing wins in real time.
When we see progress, we believe in it. When we track what matters, we reinforce momentum. And when we connect it to a mission or number that inspires us daily, we transform action into purpose.
Momentum is everything in leadership. This week, we explored practical ways to not only keep projects moving forward but also keep energy levels high, both for ourselves and our teams. From setting clear goals and celebrating small wins, to using micro-tasking, focus sprints, and visual tracking, the conversation was full of tools to help leaders sustain progress. The big reminder? Recognise milestones, no matter how small, and create systems that keep energy visible and achievable. Leadership is about influence, and when we keep momentum alive, we give our teams the resilience and drive to reach the bigger goals.
This week’s focus: how to run amazing team sessions that build confidence, connection, and performance. Inspired by Rob’s powerful talk on imposter syndrome last week, we explore how team building sessions can boost both leaders and teams by creating validation, trust, and resilience.
In this Monday Morning Session, Rob Lansdowne shares his insights on what imposter syndrome really is, how it impacts performance, and practical ways to overcome it. Drawing on research, personal experience, and wisdom from thought leaders like Simon Sinek, Rob breaks down the emotional and professional challenges of imposter syndrome and how to rise above them.
