scalr sagecast - #42 - Megumi Miki - Quietly Powerful Leadership.

The latest episode of scalr sagecast features a truly insightful conversation with Megumi Miki - an accomplished leader who carved her own niche by challenging traditional leadership norms.

Through her professional, and personal, experiences, Megumi recognised that leadership isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room - it’s about authenticity, influence, and harnessing quiet strength. This realisation led her to build Megumi and Associates, where she now helps organisations embrace diversity, unlock hidden leadership potential, and create more inclusive cultures.

She’s also the author of the award-winning book Quietly Powerful, which offers a game-changing perspective on leadership. It encourages thoughtful, reflective, and impactful leadership styles and proves that power doesn’t have to come from dominance.

In this episode, we dive into:

• Why traditional leadership models are outdated - and what needs to change.
• The power of quiet leadership and how organisations can leverage it.
• Practical ways businesses can create more inclusive, diverse workplaces.

Megumi’s work is reshaping the way leadership is defined and developed—making this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in leadership, diversity, and creating stronger teams.
