Astrology for Leaders Podcast

Stuart Langeveldt, Chief Experience Officer, Qantas Super

Stuart’s blend of charm, embracing innovation to get results and business focus captured my attention when we first met discussing recruits for his team almost 18 years ago! Over the years he’s risen to the call of leadership as Head of Marketing in a range of roles in banking and finance, property and now with Qantas Superannuation - which is going through it’s busiest period ever.

It never ceases to amaze me how Executive’s charts reflect their Innate Abilities and Authentic Purpose in their Career. Stuart shares his perspective on how Archetypes in his chart have played out in his career. Given he has his Sun in Aquarius next to the North Node in Aquarius (which rules Innovation and Astrology) it’s not surprising he has been a keen supporter of my unique approach to Executive Coaching.

I hope you enjoy!

Tom Carroll, Surfing Legend + Meditation Teacher

It’s not every day you have the opportunity to engage with a world-champion surfer (Sun and Mars in Sagittarius), turned mediation teacher (Neptune, Venus and Mercury in Scorpio), and explore their life journey through the lens of their Astrological Birth Chart. It was such a privilege and moving experience to chat with surfing legend Tom Carroll about his life which spans an early connection with the water inspired by his mother who passed when he was young, becoming the 1st ever Triple Crown winner, struggle with addiction and subsequent transformation into spiritual mediation teacher.

Tom has a way of drawing you into his field with the way he tells his stories … you literally feel like you’re on the ride right alongside him. No surprise he’s willing to go deep with Mercury in Scorpio!!!

In conversation Tom explores his perspective of leadership, how he began surfing, the impact of his mother’s early passing, falling into and coming out of addiction as well as his ongoing drive to innovate the world of surfing and inspire more to get on board.

Whether you’re a keen surfing fan, spiritually curious, or love a story of transformation, this conversation is one not to be missed. Enormous gratitude to you Tom for sharing your heart with mine and all the listeners who will tune in overtime! You are such a wise and inspirational soul!!

Lindley Edwards, Group CEO of AFG Venture Group

In this week’s Astrology for Leaders I interview Group CEO of AFG Venture Group and Australian Businesswoman Hall of Fame member Lindley Edwards. She brings to the conversation so many pearls of wisdom drawn from ancient cultures and philosophers who’ve inspired her. Not surprising as she is born with the Sun, Jupiter and Saturn lining up in Capricorn and Mercury in Sagittarius.

A passionate leader and driver for change, she combines both pragmatic strategy with innovative thought to establish banking structures which service communities as a whole. But it is her current passion project, the completion of her PhD which explores the connections between, sociology, philosophy, technology and economics into one which richly inspires me..

In my view to be a stand out stand-out leader in today’s complex technologically oriented world undoubtedly requires understanding the complex relationship between all the disciplines Lindley is researching. As she declares, without question it’s made her a better strategic thinker.

A slightly longer conversation, but so many thought provoking gems in this one.

I hope you enjoy as much as I did!!

Hanna Gammon, Entrepreneur & Molecular Biologist

I love nothing more than connecting with entrepreneurs who are passionate about making a difference to the people and the world around them.  Hanna Gammon in my opinion is a stand out in this space.   She is the co-founder (together with Husband Jock) and Chair of Junglefy, Australia’s leading plant-technology and living structure company.

Finish by origin, she trained as a molecular biologist but has fully stepped into her Leo Sun sign as an inspiring leader with a vision and drive to bring nature back into our cities to resolve some of the biggest challenges facing humankind. Little wonder with her midheaven in Pisces (part of natal chart ruling her career) bringing through deep compassion for people and the planet

Also heading up operations, Junglefy has created a nurturing, inspirational and creative culture – all key signatures for Hanna with Cancer on her Ascendant and her Moon in Leo.

This interview is sure to leave you inspired to chase the dreams within you.

Patrick Medd, EY Director - Global Advisory Learning Leader

It was a joy reconnecting with EY Director Patrick Medd, Global Advisory Learning Leader who together with his team of 10 supports 65,000 professionals worldwide.   Our paths first crossed a couple of years ago when Patrick was at a career crossroad and weighing up options.  By exploring his Innate Abilities and Authentic Purpose using Astrology, it became obvious which path to take.  Today he is thriving in his role (even in COVID times).   What I particularly love about Patrick is his special blend of charm + sense of fun (Leo rising), ongoing need to learn and teach (Moon in Aries in 9^th House) and commitment to helping people by putting in place structures and systems which get results (Virgo Sun). 

In our conversation, we explore how Astrology helped him complete the picture of who he is, his own learning journey, what leadership means to him and what motivates him to do what he does.  Thank you Patrick for yet another uplifting and engaging heart to heart.
