What does it really take to build a values-led, inclusive leadership culture that drives measurable business success? 

Stevie Ingram-Palmer, Learning & Development Implementation Manager at G4S—and author, leadership innovator, and proud PRTA award recipient, joins Foundation & Friends, host Natasha Kalinga, together they explore the game-changing Next Level Leadership Programme, a 60-week initiative that’s not only transforming leadership at G4S but also reshaping the way global organisations think about talent, strategy, and culture.

This episode will provide award-winning insights on:

  • How to design leadership programmes that are strategically aligned with business goals
  • The value of blending digital learning with real-world business projects
  • Why “one size fits all” leadership development is no longer fit for purpose
  • How G4S built a culture of empowerment, inclusion, and innovation across global teams
  • What the future workforce expects—and how to meet those expectations

This episode is packed with insight for L&D professionals, HR leaders, organisational development specialists, DEI advocates, and anyone responsible for shaping workplace culture or leadership strategy.

If you're looking to move beyond surface-level training and embed leadership as a core driver of business transformation, this conversation is not to be missed.
