School for CEOs prepare business leaders for senior roles - purposefully, pragmatically and personally. We do this by discussing the unique insights of our Faculty of over 90 senior leaders at our programmes, who share their personal experiences and challenges as CEOs, Non-Executive Directors and Chairs. This podcast is designed to share some of those stories with you, inviting a diverse range of speakers from CEOs of some of the UK's most successful businesses, to elite sportspeople and military leaders.

Episodes are released on the first Monday of each month. Earlier episodes have featured School for CEOs Managing Partner and Chairman, David Sole and Patrick Macdonald, Faculty members Craig Donaldson, Shaun Kingsbury CBE and Rosemary McGinness, Inclusion & Diversity specialist Sue Pascoe, former Royal Marines Officers Peter MacDonald and Martin Smith CB MBE, Scottish Rugby legend Doddie Weir OBE, Chef Proprietor Tom Kitchin, Olympic prospect Katherine Douglas and Charity leader Helen Rippon. Our twelfth episode features another School for CEOs Faculty member, Bob Keiller CBE.

This episode shares the leadership journey of a once aspiring album cover artist who became an award-winning CEO. Bob Keiller CBE, former CEO of Wood Group and previous Chairman of Scottish Enterprise, discusses a wide range of topics from early life choices to CEO succession, and shifting an organisational culture by winning hearts and minds.

You can also listen to the podcast on Spotify or iTunes.
