About Seat for Society

Every day, leaders make decisions that ripple far beyond their walls - from supermarkets deciding how to share the burden of food inflation; to governments choosing which public services to fund; to charities and innovators responding to global crises. Through candid conversations with influential leaders across business, government and the non-profit world, Kate and Katie uncover the human judgment, courage and compassion behind high-stakes calls, and how leaders live with them over time.

Ep 3: When the Heart, Soul & Head Lead with David Clarke

Guest: David Clarke, Chief Executive, British Paralympic Association How lived experience shapes leadership, and why doing the right thing often starts with listening to who isn’t in the room. Dave Clarke’s story is a powerful reminder that inclusive leadership is about more than policy - it’s about people. Drawing on his journey from elite sport and banking, to leading ParalympicsGB, Dave talks about conviction, courage, and the weight of public scrutiny. He shares how he navigates tough calls with transparency, how “being decent” became his leadership mantra, and why running a non-profit requires as much commercial discipline as any business. A heartfelt, practical conversation about leading with both strength and humility.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
