In this episode of the G&T Sessions podcast, Andrew Turner interviews Bruno Goffin, a seasoned leader with extensive experience in corporate environments, particularly at GE and Procter & Gamble. The actual turbulent world has cancelled old models and today young talents lack reference if they want to have an impact. However COURAGE remains one wisdom which remains paramount, especially if you want to defend your personal values. Here is a practical mentoring guide on courage. Bruno shares his journey from a small village in Belgium to becoming a commercial director and executive vice president. He discusses the importance of courage in leadership, the impact of childhood experiences on personal growth, and the valuable lessons learned from Jack Welch, General Electric CEO. Bruno emphasizes the need for young leaders to manage their own destinies and the significance of emotional intelligence in business. In this engaging conversation, he shares his insights on leadership, courage, and the evolving dynamics of the workplace. He recounts his experiences at Procter & Gamble, illustrating the importance of taking risks and challenging the status quo. Bruno emphasizes the need for young leaders to embrace their authenticity, develop emotional intelligence, and cultivate resilience in a rapidly changing world. He also discusses the significance of mentorship and the value of storytelling in leadership development, providing actionable advice for aspiring leaders. This was a wonderful episode to record together with Bruno just before the end of 2024, and now publishing to the world as our first episode of 2025 to set the tone for the year ahead. Enjoy !!

The G&T Sessions
We cover G = Growth from a Personal & Business perspective, as it is a fascinating and compelling topic to share stories and experiences, and T = Technology, something that is everywhere and is firmly here to stay...asking the questions about what does it mean, is it for good, how do we harness it and ensure it helps our future.
So, in the G&T Sessions Podcast, we are speaking directly to ourselves, when we were younger, not as wise as we are today, how could we know how transformative that Technology would affect the world .... And know how getting your personal growth and mindset in order, is a key building block and enabler to any organisation or business idea you want to scale.
We're going to try to take you, the audience, on a journey through the stories and lessons of gifted and talented people who have written their own personal growth stories, dealt with amazing peaks and character building valleys, but have learned and carved their own path to making their own history and future.
