#272. The Art of Defiance: Reclaiming Who You Are as a Leader with Kevan Horder

In this episode, Shelley speaks with Kevan Horder on Reclaiming Your Leadership: The Art of Defiance. Kicking off Season 7 and the seventh year of the podcast, Shelley dives straight into a bold, honest conversation about what it really means to push back on outdated leadership norms, reclaim your humanity and lead from values rather than hierarchy.

Kevan, a Budjaryang Gamilaroi man with experience spanning senior executive roles to on-the-ground work, shares powerful reflections on power, expectations, fairness and why some of the most meaningful leadership happens outside formal titles.

Together, they call bull on rigid systems, explore values-based ways of working and unpack how defiance, grounded in relationships, transparency and courage, can create more sustainable, human and impactful leadership at every level.Connect with Kevan:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevan-horder-a68b26a1/
