I first connected with Gavin because I noticed he was born in Keswick, UK. I live in Keswick, Ontario, Canada. They are spelled the same but pronounced differently. This is known as affinity bias - I notice something about you that is similar to my own experience. It's a tiny story that connects.
Gavin and I both love the power of storytelling. It's essential for the future of work and key to distributed work (hybrid/remote).
I'd go as far as to say it's the future of leadership.
Join us to understand why. Also, check out Gavin's newsletter on LinkedIn. He is a visual thinker and although we forgot to talk about his artistic take on leadership, it's the doodles that make his newsletter resonate. There's a reason it's featured so often by LinkedIn editors. He works in partnership with Eugene Yoon to craft these visuals. - link at the bottom of the shownotes. Don't forget to rate, review and comment. We'd love to hear your insights and stories too. Gavin McMahonGavin partners with clients to create tailored learning programs.

After a short stint in the defense industry and working in Africa, Gavin made a career change. A Sainsbury Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, he went on to study at Institute Theseus in France. There, he graduated with an MBA in Innovation, Strategy & Information Technology.
Gavin was a founding member of the London Business School’s i:Lab. There he co-wrote the case study: Netscape Communications Corporation. One of the first digital case studies, Netscape charted the rise of the first Internet giant. The case featured in MBA and executive education programs at Harvard, London Business School, and INSEAD.
Gavin is a proud father of two very handsome basset hounds (and kids).
