What if the best way to lead wasn’t about having the right answers—but asking the right questions?
In this episode, I yarned with the ever-curious Paul McGregor, a leadership coach, author and MC based in Nelson, New Zealand. With a background in law, collaboration and engagement, Paul has carved out an unconventional path - one that wasn’t planned but was led by instinct, curiosity and a refusal to settle.
We unpack how he made some career choices based on joy, connection and purpose (and others based on fear and scarcity) - and what he had to let go of along the way. We also get into the art of facilitation, where Paul shares a surprising and valuable lesson for anybody in a leadership role.
Paul has a knack for asking the questions others avoid - the ones that cut through noise and get to what really matters. But what happens when those questions make people uncomfortable? And how does privilege shape the way we engage with leadership and workplace culture? We yarn about the tension between awareness and action, the challenges of acknowledging your privilege and how to talk about your work when it's not easily put into a known box like 'lawyer', 'doctor' or 'builder'.
Curious? Tune in to hear Paul’s take on leadership, impact and the conversations that move us forward.
If you would like to know more about the awesome mahi that Paul is doing, you can check out his website or follow him over on LinkedIn.
