#106: Eman Al-Hillawi on piloting her way through business adversity and recovery
Leading Through Uncertainty
06/18/24 • 32 min
Eman Al-Hillawi is the CEO of Entec Si, a business change management consultancy. Eman discusses the challenges her business faced during the pandemic, including the financial strain and the emotional impact of redundancies.
She reflects on the importance of relationships and the need to balance business growth with nurturing the team. The conversation also covers the shift to hybrid working and the significance of trust and flexibility in the workplace.
Eman is such an inspiration and I love the parallels between managing uncertainties as a pilot and in business and the importance of preparation, risk assessment, and adaptability.
Having worked with Eman over a number of years, I know how hard it has been for her to navigate the challenges of recovering from the pandemic. Her resilience and honesty are inspiring. So many businesses have had some tough challenges since 2020 with recovery from the pandemic, as well as navigating new innovation and new ways of working, and yet so often people have struggled alone.
How are you faring in the post-pandemic era and what do you need now to support you to move forward?

#105: Chad E Foster on resilience and blind ambition
Leading Through Uncertainty
06/11/24 • 40 min
Chad Foster is a keynote speaker who became blind at the age of 21 due to an eye condition, retinitis pigmentosa. Chad had a dream as he was growing up to be in the medical field but had to change this due to his eyesight and ended up going to Harvard Business School and became the first executive to graduate from their leadership programme.
I feel grateful for having had the chance to interview Chad. He is genuinely a wonderful human being who has this incredible sense of purpose and meaning as a result of going blind at the age of 21.
I love how the tough love that Chad learned from his father is in Chad’s words today. He speaks with such clarity and his words felt like an arrow to the heart, not in a cheesy way but his straight-talking truths hit me hard at moments and make me want to be more ambitious and a better person.
In Chad’s words: “The stories we tell ourselves about our circumstances either limit us or propel us towards our goals.”
You can find out more about Chad on his website www.chadefoster.com and his book Blind Ambition at www.blindambitionbook.com

#104: Fabrice Desmarescaux on How Retreats in Nature Help Leaders Navigate Uncertainty
Leading Through Uncertainty
05/28/24 • 38 min
Fabrice Desmarescaux is a Partner at McKinsey and works with CEO’s and their teams to increase in their performance and effectiveness. He also creates the next generation of leaders working with team members who are not yet on the executive committee. He talks about the benefits of retreats for his clients and how slowing down and being in nature can have a positive impact.
Fabrice tells us the importance of changing the environment and where the team work together helps to see the world in a different way. When immersed in nature Fabrice explains how leaders can deal with uncertainty differently. As someone who works with a herd of horses in nature, I certainly resonate with everything Fabrice talks about.
I found myself slowing down and getting really present with Fabrice and my nervous system calming. I’m someone who often works at 300 mph and taking time to be really present is such a gift.
For anyone who is sceptical about slowing down, I love how Fabrice explains that nature demonstrates the ability to move from chaos to beauty and order. If you want to create less chaos and more order in your organisation or team, then maybe it’s time for a retreat for you too?
How do you ensure you slow down in order to access your creativity and leadership?
Topics covered:
- Retreats and Nature (00:02:41)
- Benefits of Slowing Down (00:11:30)
- Impact of Uncertainty (00:16:50)
- Challenges of Siloed Organizations (00:18:19)
- Budgeting and Uncertainty (00:21:38)

- Innovation and Failure (00:27:37)

#103 Daniel Astarita on overcoming adversity and innovation in retail
Leading Through Uncertainty
05/21/24 • 35 min
Daniel Astarita is the Managing Director of Kesslers, a business that he bought when it went into administration. He’s also MD of a London-based mannequin business, having bought the assets from another business that had also gone into liquidation.
He explains how he took a risk to run the business in a different way. Instead of chasing revenue and profit in isolation, he realised that retail needs to be an experience for the consumer, particularly after the impact of COVID-19 on retail. Regardless of the sector you are in, there is so much to learn from listening to Dan’s story and leadership.
What really comes across when talking to Dan is how much he cares about the people and sees them as being fundamental to the success of the business. I love that he encourages his staff to ask questions and seek guidance as much as possible. Having space to be curious is so critical.
Dan was open about his leadership, his desire for fairness and honesty and spoke about the emotional toll it took on him when dealing with redundancies which I could really see when talking to him.
Where can you be more curious with your team and organisation?
Topics covered:
- Acquisition of two businesses in administration (00:02:30)
- Taking a risk and having a vision (00:03:22)
- The emotional impact of making staff redundant (00:09:24)
- Creating an inclusive workforce (00:15:58)
- Purposeful leadership (00:20:57)
