Make Time for Strategy with Richard Medcalf

Build a Vibrant Culture Podcast

This week on the Build a Vibrant Culture Podcast, Nicole interviews Richard Medcalf, author of Making TIME for Strategy: How to be less busy and more successful.

Richard describes himself as "what you get if you were to put a McKinsey consultant, a slightly unorthodox pastor and an entrepreneur into a blender." Richard is the founder of Xquadrant and a trusted advisor to exceptional CEOs and entrepreneurs, and their leadership teams. He has advised business owners and C-level execs for over 25 years, and he founded Xquadrant with the mission of helping elite leaders reinvent their 'success formula' and multiply their impact on their purpose, their people and their profit. His personal 1:1 clients include CEOs of billion dollar companies, a Chairman nominated by EY as Entrepreneur of the Year, an Olympic medallist, and the founders of tech 'unicorns'. Richard also runs the high-end CEO community, Rivendell. Richard is bi-national English/French, lives near Paris, is happily married and is the proud father of two. He's also a licensed lay minister in the Anglican Church, and has an insatiable love for spicy food and the electric guitar.

In this episode, Richard talks about:

[00:09:17] What strategic time is and how it will help to create success in the future.

[00:17:32] How to use the acronym TIME: Tactics, Influence, Mindset, Environment to take action and choose your own adventure.

[00:25:58] How to use a commitment inventory to prioritize your time and cut out unnecessary time-wasters

I am grateful to Richard for sharing his insights about achieving exponential impact!
