About this episode
Series 2: Episode 7
In this episode of The Agile Diaries, host Niamh Trundle (Learning Designer at the Agile Business Consortium) speaks with Wayne Gosden (Marketing Director at the Agile Business Consortium) as he shares how his experiences from an influential early mentor to a toxic workplace, shaped his approach to leadership.
He explains what psychological safety looks like in practice: people can challenge ideas openly, admit mistakes, and ask for help without fear.
Wayne and Niamh also explore how AI is changing marketing. AI can speed up the work, Wayne argues, but human judgment, trust, and real-world experience remain essential.
Plus, Wayne reflects on how training for a North Pole expedition as a teenager taught him unexpected lessons about teamwork and leadership.
