Some of the most powerful leadership work never makes it onto a job description.

It’s the quiet skill of holding space - staying grounded when the room wobbles, creating calm so others can think, and finding meaning when everything feels uncertain.

In this episode, Claire Irving and Siobhan Meaker from Better Strategic Consultancy unpack what it really means to hold space as a leader. From Cynthia Erivo on Strictly to boardrooms in flux, they explore how reflection, boundaries and empathy keep leaders (and teams) steady.

It’s a gentle listen with a lot of truth and a reminder that leadership isn’t about holding it all, it’s about holding it well.

If you’re a CEO or senior leader navigating change, Claire offers one-to-one mentoring to help you lead with humanity and keep something left in the tank.
