Regenerative Leadership with Emily Monsell-Holden

Loading player...
A leader finds new ways of working and being.

In this episode, Emily Monsell-Holden (marketing and branding expert and now co-founder of The Impact Apothecary) talks to host Charlotte Otter about redefining women's success beyond motherhood, the importance of diverse narratives, and the healing power of sharing personal stories.

Emily is a founder, TEDX speaker, mentor, podcast host, and regenerative business advocate. She is also an actor, wild swimmer, forager, gardener, fermenter, traveller, and storyteller.

After 20 years of leading marketing and communications, Emily co-founded The Impact Apothecary – a no-nonsense anti-consultancy that helps purpose-driven businesses with their branding, marketing, and business strategy.

She believes business has a role to play in making the world a better place and is exploring regenerative business practices.

Emily and Charlotte discuss whether those with interests in new ways of leading can learn something from regenerative business in terms of indirect leadership.

Emily also talks about her love of nature and how she found comfort in nature during difficult times.

This podcast is a companion piece to Charlotte Otter's book We Need New Leaders, published on 3 June by Practical Inspiration Publishing. Find it online or in all good bookshops.
