This is Leadership Letters, the podcasts reflecting on all things leadership!
Presented by Lizzie Bentley Bowers, a professional coach to brilliant people for more than a decade, a special leader shares their own 'Leadership Letter'. It could be to someone they admire, or not, a letter to a historical leader or even someone that they lead. This will kick off a conversation that will give real insight into how successful leadership works.
In the sister podcast 'Towards Leadership', Lizzie will then dive a little more deeper on a theme from that podcast, using the tools, exercises and thinking that she shares to help her clients become the best leaders they can be. They'll also be something else to listen too, watch, and read. All with the aim of challenging you to be a better leader.

Our leadership conversation in this episode is with Chief People Officer for EXA Infrastructure, Carrie Cushing.
Carrie is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development and has more than 20 years experience working in HR roles across a range of industries including financial service, healthcare, energy and tech. She has a passion for developing talent and culture where people and performance can thrive.
With extensive leadership experience both as a leader herself, and as an HR partner to so many leaders, there was so much we wanted to talk to Carrie about and she shares a ton of insight, wisdom, reflection and advice in this episode. You can find Carrie at EXA Infrastructure and on LinkedIn.
During our conversation, we talked about:
CARRIE’S LETTER + QUOTES
In Carrie’s letter to ‘The Leaders Who Were Not Like Me’ she shares valuable lessons from leaders, and the leadership shadow they cast, that she encountered earlier in her career. These include patience, managing emotions, resilience and intentionally managing her own leadership shadow.
“Seeing myself as at cause not effect”
+
“If you’re not sure what to do - sit still.”
+
“Mistakes are the currency of growth”
+
“Intentionally choose the shadow I want to cast.”
“Ask the questions. Take the guesswork out.”
On our sister podcast, Towards Leadership, we will look in more detail at tools, reflections and practical application of the ideas, insights and inspiration we get from our guests on Leadership Letters. An episode focused on Carrie’s insights will be coming soon. If you already follow Leadership Letters, look out for it in your podcast feed.
