In this episode of the G&T Sessions podcast, Andrew Turner interviews Bruno Goffin, a seasoned leader with extensive experience in corporate environments, particularly at GE and Procter & Gamble. The actual turbulent world has cancelled old models and today young talents lack reference if they want to have an impact. However COURAGE remains one wisdom which remains paramount, especially if you want to defend your personal values. Here is a practical mentoring guide on courage. Bruno shares his journey from a small village in Belgium to becoming a commercial director and executive vice president. He discusses the importance of courage in leadership, the impact of childhood experiences on personal growth, and the valuable lessons learned from Jack Welch, General Electric CEO. Bruno emphasizes the need for young leaders to manage their own destinies and the significance of emotional intelligence in business. In this engaging conversation, he shares his insights on leadership, courage, and the evolving dynamics of the workplace. He recounts his experiences at Procter & Gamble, illustrating the importance of taking risks and challenging the status quo. Bruno emphasizes the need for young leaders to embrace their authenticity, develop emotional intelligence, and cultivate resilience in a rapidly changing world. He also discusses the significance of mentorship and the value of storytelling in leadership development, providing actionable advice for aspiring leaders. This was a wonderful episode to record together with Bruno just before the end of 2024, and now publishing to the world as our first episode of 2025 to set the tone for the year ahead. Enjoy !!
