The New P&L speaks to Steve Phillip, Suicide Prevention & Workplace Well-being Advocate; Founder – The Jordan Legacy Dec 02, 2022

Show notes

This week on The New P&L Deep Discussion we speak with the amazing Steve Phillip. For almost 30 years, Steve was a successful consultant, trainer and keynote speaker until December 4th 2019, when his life changed forever – it was the day his son Jordan took his own life. A truly devastating moment and sadly something far too many of us have also experienced in our own lives.

In Jordan’s memory, Steve established The Jordan Legacy in early 2020, to provide support to those struggling to cope with life or considering suicide.Over the last two years, Steve has traveled tirelessly throughout the UK and Europe delivering talks on the topic of suicide prevention to corporate organisations, communities and governments leaders, employees and policy makers.

Steve’s lived experience of suicide underpins his desire to help people understand that suicide is not an inevitable path for those struggling in life and that tragedy can be turned into hope with the right support, passion and focus. We discussed with Steve:

· What the ambition of ‘Zero Suicide’ means

· Background to The Baton of Hope Nationwide Tour 2023

· How to support the Baton of Hope Nationwide Tour 2023

· The challenges of addressing mental health in the workplace

· Why business needs to get serious about wellbeing

· The role of leadership in driving awareness and action

· Courses are not enough – why the support needs to also come afterwards

· The role of language in defining and discussing suicide awareness and prevention

· Why more focus and resources need to also be given to those who have lived through a suicide attempt or bereaved by suicide

For those who would like to learn more about the work Steve and his team does as well as to access resources on suicide prevention and awareness, please go to: www.thejordanlegacy.com

The New P&L speaks to Sue Fennessy, Founder and CEO of WeAre8, The People’s Social Media Platform Nov 18, 2022

Show notes

This week on The New P&L we speak to the phenomenal Sue Fennessy, serial tech entrepreneur and Founder and CEO of WeAre8, The People’s Platform. Anyone living in the UK will have no doubt seen WeAre8’s nationwide advertising campaign featuring the voice of England football legend, Rio Ferdinand.

WeAre8’s ambition is to play a role in redirecting some of the billions of ad dollars going to social platforms back to people and the planet, delivering transformational results for advertisers in the process.

Sue is a serial entrepreneur and is also founder, largest shareholder, and former CEO of the world’s leading media data aggregation business, Standard Media Index, which works with some of the world’s leading media and finance companies including Comcast, NBC, Disney, Warner Media, FOX, Discovery, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs and more.

With a unique view of the $450B digital advertising market, Sue became obsessed with the lack of effectiveness, transparency and waste in major digital platforms and the damaging effect this was having on content creators, people and the planet. For the last six years, through WeAre8, Sue has been focused on building the antidote to this broken system to create a platform where people are loved, valued and rewarded all while uniting to help save the planet in just two minutes a day. We discuss with Sue:

· The foundational values that underpin WeAre8

· What led to the launch of the social platform

· WeAre8’s engagement and revenue model

· What the industry’s response has been to WeAre8’s disruptive approach

· What will drive real change in the social media space

· Why the impetus to change needs to come from the VCs and investors not just the platforms

· What its ‘platform free from hate’ slogan means in practise

· How the management of user data has been reshaped on WeAre8

· What lies behind WeAre8’s successful commercial engagement model

· What continues to inspire Sue after 30 years in entrepreneurship

The New P&L TO THE POINT on Getting Knowledge into Production Oct 28, 2022

Show notes

This week on The New P&L TO THE POINT, we discuss ‘Getting Knowledge into Production’. Today, among the many challenges in business, the importance and impact of the relationship between levels of knowledge dissemination and levels of productivity is often overlooked or undervalued.

In this episode, we consider why some businesses confuse information with knowledge and what to do about it; why placing knowledge at the centre of your business’s culture and vision is critical to its success; what really sits behind the creation of silos within a business; and why the responsibility for breaking down the barriers to knowledge acquisition and dissemination across an organisation ultimately lies with leadership.
