Episode Details

Thirteen years. One clear purpose. Two words: lifting potential.

Jeremy Nichols founded Composure after a career that took him from young consultant to firm owner to the executive team of an ASX-listed business. He knows what good organisations look like, and he knows what gets in the way. His view on culture change is unsentimental: the clients most ready to do the work are usually the ones already performing well who want to go further not the ones in trouble, because those leaders often created the culture they're now asking him to fix. It's an honest lens, and it runs through everything in this conversation from feedback at the senior level to the work-from-home debate and the generation that's never quite sure what they're missing.

IN THIS EPISODE

The journey from consultant to owner to ASX-listed executive and why he launched Composure to give others the development he was given Why the best clients are often the ones who are already good and why shifting a culture a previous leader built is the hardest assignment there is The habit of making the call how reaching out consistently has compounded into what people mistake for luck Building trust before delivering feedback to senior leaders and why the Enneagram creates the personal language that makes hard conversations land A clear position on work from home: leadership is a contact sport, and the nuances of trust simply don't build over a screen His concern for the generation who have only ever known the post-COVID working world and whether they know what they're missing
