The Purpose-Led Leadership Podcast

EP40: How To Turn Yourself ’On’ with Laura-Jane Hand

I met Laura-Jane at a party in Manchester and since meeting I've been fascinated with her work in relationships, intimacy and childhood trauma. Laura-Jane helps unhappy women in unhappy relationships find their happiness - and themselves again. But we talk about so much more than relationships on this episode of The Purpose Led Leadership Podcast.Laura-Jane Hand: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurajanehand/Vincere: https://www.vincere.io/chrisoconnell 

EP39: Turning Childhood Trauma into Triumph with Elise Michaels

Elise Michaels helps men find purpose and passion by healing subconscious trauma. But she does this great work through experiencing trauma of her own. Elise is a friend, a coach of mine - and today, my podcast guest. We talk about her overcoming a childhood with two parents in and out of jail, bouts with bankruptcy and how she's healed the childhood version of herself by helping others heal too. Elise is a force and having this conversation was an honour. Find Elise here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elise-micheals/Find Vincere here: https://www.vincere.io/chrisoconnell 

EP:38 How Recruiters Can Make More Money with Hung Lee: Recruiting Brainfood

This wasn't a conversation I was expecting to have with Hung Lee. Hung is someone most people know in recruitment. Founder of Recruitment Brainfood and Workshape - a talent matching service for Startups... So naturally, I expected to spend 100% of this conversation discussing the industry. But what we started off with is Hung's accident and how that one moment in his life shaped everything. This was an incredibly raw, insightful and honest conversation. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed having it. Find Hung here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hunglee/Find Vincere here: https://www.vincere.io/chrisoconnell/

EP37: A Millionaire at 26 Years old To Nearly Losing Everything - Including my life: Chris O’Connell, This Is My Story

This week's episode isn't my usual episode because this week, my podcast guest is me. I've posted a lot of snippets about my rise and fall as a multi-million-pound recruitment business owner - and the journey I've taken to rediscover myself, but I never really told the story from the start. I believe a huge part of being a purpose-led leader is having the strength to be vulnerable, so here is me - being vulnerable and telling my story. Find Vincere here: https://www.vincere.io/chrisoconnell

EP36: How to Be a Better Recruiter with Mitch Sullivan

When Mitch started out in recruitment 30 years ago, he did the normal contingency consultant thing. He quickly realised there was a better way of doing things - After a move to Geneva, Mitch set up a different kind of search agency. One that used innovative recruitment communications as it's primary source of recruiting - something that proved very popular with the people they were trying to recruit! The agency combined hard-nosed commercial consultancy with creative recruitment marketing and led Mitch to where he is today. If you've not come across Mitch on LinkedIn, I highly recommend you give him a follow. He'll teach you a thing or two about your copy to candidates and clients, but his sarcastic and satirical take on the industry will make you howl! Find Mitch here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mitchsullivan/Find Vincere here: https://www.vincere.io/chrisoconnell

EP35: From Recruiter to Recruitment Tech Founder with Eloise Sutton-Kirkby

When Eloise started her career in recruitment in 2006, I don't think even she could have imagined what the industry and her life had in store for her. Fast forward 16 years later, and Eloise heads up Vincere, the recruitment operating system loved by over 25,000 recruiters. But Eloise isn't just a business owner; she's also a mum. And the things she has been through as a mum and in her personal life are just as inspiring as what she's achieved professionally.Find Eloise here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eloisefromvincere/Find Vincere here: https://vincere.io/chrisoconnell/

EP33: From Footballer to Mentally Fit with Martin Pemberton

Martin Pemberton. Footballer. Mentor and creator of the Men -ally Fit Programme. In this podcast, we talk about Martin's career in football - the rejection and redirection he found throughout his career and the lack of mental health support for men. Martin's mission to get men talking is one that I wholeheartedly stand by and I think after listening to this podcast, it will be one you get behind too. Find Martin here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-pemberton-856b0812b/Find Vincere here: https://vincere.io/chrisoconnell/
