Safety is empathy.

In this episode of Backstage with the Speakers, we hear from James Laughlin — Leadership Expert, Executive Coach, #1 best-selling author, and seven-time world champion musician.

James shares why emotional and psychological safety are just as vital as physical safety — and why clarity is the key to creating influence and impact.

He offers practical guidance for anyone wanting to make a bigger impact in their organisation:

• Get radically clear on the problem you see
• Know your unique perspective
• Bring multiple solutions
• Influence through clarity

A motivating and people-centred conversation from one of New Zealand’s top leadership voices.
