Episode 37: Peter O’Sullivan: The importance of director wellbeing

Jul 22, 2020

This week on Boardroom Hustle, people and culture extraordinaire, and young board director Peter O’Sullivan joined us for a chat. Peter is an inspiring figure, specialising in employee engagement, organisational change, business strategy, leadership and governance.

Peter’s real passion lies in wellbeing and education, with a focus on how the working environment and culture can impact people’s wellbeing and performance. 

Today, he and Paul discuss:

• How does Peter handle the pressure of having several board roles alongside a busy professional and personal life?
• What has he learned about making things happen effectively in the boardroom?
• The best things to implement in your life to help you manage all your different roles
• What’s the key aspect of a boardroom that allows things to get done successfully?
• How can we build stronger relationships in the boardroom, and what are the benefits from doing so?
• What got Peter into governance in the first place?
• How we can get our elephants under control (Wondering what this means? Check out Episode 17 of Boardroom Hustle to find out!)
• What’s the number one skill every board director should be developing right now?
• What are some practices that Peter suggests bringing into the boardroom to help with individual director wellbeing?
• And a question that we received from a listener, what does Boardroom Hustle actually mean?
