In this insightful episode, we sit down with Colin Price, a renowned organisational strategist whose career spans PwC, McKinsey, private equity, and entrepreneurial ventures. Colin begins with a remarkable story of working alongside Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton, and Tony Blair on Robben Island, where even these world leaders admitted to feelings of imposter syndrome. This anecdote sets the tone for a conversation about leadership, transformation, and the human side of organisations.

Colin shares his journey from building consulting practices at scale to rediscovering his passion for advising leaders today. We explore how the consulting industry has been reshaped by AI, what agility really means beyond buzzwords, and the timeless human dynamics that continue to challenge organisations. Colin also reflects on servant leadership, the importance of psychological safety, and why creating environments of feedback and trust is key to accelerating performance.

Talking Points:

• The Robben Island workshop with Mandela, Clinton, and Blair, and what it revealed about leadership.
• Colin’s career journey from PwC and McKinsey to private equity and back to consulting.
