Keri-Lynne Shaw describes herself as a …..
KL describes how much power the phrase has for her when it comes to life and when it comes to career.
We explore the frequent ‘mucky/messy’ situations that KL has come across as a Chief People Officer. How important it is to talk about these messy situations, and how by talking about it allows us to explore the difficult situations we discover in our work.
Most people do not like to have messy conversations.
There has to be something we pay attention to when it comes to being a leader. Most organisations will cut the development budget first…and so the support isn’t there…and so many leaders do not take the initiative to build self awareness and hold themselves accountable.
The importance of failure, and how in some organisations that either do not allow failure at all…or the fear overrides everything, people cannot grow.
How our children can be so different to us, and how we can learn from them. As a parent…there are a few years through the teenage years, you feel like the dumbest person on the planet.
We don’t have a playbook on being a parent…and the messages that matter most.
We include three diamond questions!
- What do you love?
- What are really really good at?
- How do you want to make an impact on the world?
The beautiful leaders and the ‘horrible’ leaders…and how we can learn so much from both.
Power Takeaways:
- The belief that I have to somehow divide my work and my life …and it’s so important that we get to choose.
- It’s such a beautiful idea that we get to see beauty in the mess.
- There is no straight line…not in parenting, not in career…not in anything!
- Turning failure into learning…everything is learning.
- The importance of hiring a coach when you get stuck.
- There’s only two things I can control…1. How I show up, and 2. How I treat others… and the rest of it is not up to me.
- When we’re triggered, it’s on us to get curious.
- We cannot control other people’s ‘shut down’ or trigger.
- Our communication can always be finessed.
- How do you think about the red thread in your life and in your career?
- You only have a short window to tell your story…and understanding how to tell that story will help you identify the values that match with the company you’re interviewing with.
- How to do the money conversation…how to present it and when to present it.
- You won’t get to the money conversation until you’ve done your work on the ‘red thread’.
- Taking the time to understand yourself, and your value add.
- You want the other person to be in a situation where they cannot imagine the world without you.
- Leaders that believe in us give us the confidence to do more, and want more and allow us to take the risks.
- Feel what you feel when you feel it, and don’t apologise for it.
- We need more emotion in work…we need to see those big feelings.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
