064 – Anchored in Integrity: Our Journey Continues

Speaker: 00:00:00

Hello and welcome or welcome back to the podcast, The Human Factor Corporate Integrity

Matters.

2

00:00:06,743 --> 00:00:14,570

I'm Sonja Stirnimann, your host, and after a two year break, it feels both humbling and

exciting to be talking to you again.

3

00:00:14,911 --> 00:00:23,170

First of all, a big thank you to all of you who reached out during our break and asked

when new episodes would be coming.

4

00:00:24,558 --> 00:00:32,431

Your messages, your encouragement and your continued commitment to our evergreen content

meant more than you maybe think.

5

00:00:32,932 --> 00:00:44,626

You reminded me, you reminded us as a team, that integrity and ethical leadership are not

only timeless, they are desperately needed in every corner of our organizations and

6

00:00:44,626 --> 00:00:45,437

societies.

7

00:00:50,099 --> 00:00:58,201

In today's complex business environment, leaders need not only to be prepared for the

worst, but also to build their resilience.

8

00:00:58,201 --> 00:01:08,494

At The Human Factor, Corporate Integrity Matters' Sonia Stirnimann invites top executives,

board members, and industry experts to reflect and talk about the realities of corporate

9

00:01:08,494 --> 00:01:11,485

integrity, risk, and ethical leadership.

10

00:01:11,485 --> 00:01:19,067

As an international governance authority, independent director, and entrepreneur, she

understands the challenges leaders face.

11

00:01:19,089 --> 00:01:22,401

Integrity and ethical leadership are not just principles.

12

00:01:22,401 --> 00:01:31,267

They build resilience, enhance reputation, and create strategic competitive advantage for

organizations and for individuals.

13

00:01:39,991 --> 00:01:43,112

Today I'm delighted to report that we are back.

14

00:01:43,293 --> 00:01:46,974

And we are back with the same focus and even

15

00:01:47,098 --> 00:01:50,440

see greater purpose in giving integrity a voice.

16

00:01:51,260 --> 00:01:54,262

You will notice a few things going forward.

17

00:01:54,642 --> 00:01:57,603

There will be a new episode every other week.

18

00:01:57,924 --> 00:02:10,190

We will continue to bring powerful conversations with inspiring leaders and you will also

hear solo episodes from me where we dive deeper into practical reflections and tools you

19

00:02:10,190 --> 00:02:14,292

can apply immediately in your organizations and in your daily life.

20

00:02:14,933 --> 00:02:17,074

Our focus is sharper than ever.

21

00:02:17,074 --> 00:02:24,176

The human factor, the heart of resilience, of integrity, of ethical leadership is front

and center.

22

00:02:24,656 --> 00:02:28,377

Because organizations don't lead, people lead.

23

00:02:28,658 --> 00:02:37,741

And the impact of every decision, every silence, every courageous step reaches far beyond

the walls of any organization.

24

00:02:38,561 --> 00:02:41,668

And over the past more than 60 episodes,

25

00:02:41,668 --> 00:02:50,501

our incredible guests, the ambassadors of integrity from all around the world have shared

their journeys, their challenges and also their victories.

26

00:02:50,822 --> 00:03:01,936

And I'm deeply grateful to each and every one of them for their openness, their trust and

their unwavering commitment to strengthening ethical leadership.

27

00:03:03,348 --> 00:03:10,010

Their voices and yours have made this platform something more than just a podcast.

28

00:03:10,010 --> 00:03:20,373

It has become a community, a movement and a safe harbor for those who believe that leading

with integrity is not just a choice, but a responsibility.

29

00:03:20,433 --> 00:03:24,514

And for those of you joining us for the first time, welcome.

30

00:03:24,674 --> 00:03:31,902

You have come to the right place if you are someone who wants to strengthen not just your

own leadership, but the daily work.

31

00:03:31,902 --> 00:03:35,953

the programs, the cultures you help shape in your organizations.

32

00:03:36,673 --> 00:03:48,787

As we move forward, we remain true to our mission to give a voice to integrity and ethical

leadership, to navigate the complex waters of leadership with courage, awareness and

33

00:03:48,787 --> 00:03:54,818

humanity, and to reach those who can and must influence their world for better.

34

00:03:55,239 --> 00:04:00,500

Whether you are a board member, an executive, a team leader, a risk professional,

35

00:04:00,668 --> 00:04:04,151

or someone who knows there has to be a better way.

36

00:04:04,151 --> 00:04:06,033

This space is for you.

37

00:04:06,474 --> 00:04:17,043

Each episode is designed to raise awareness, offer practical insights and connect you to a

network of people who share the same commitment to responsible leadership.

38

00:04:17,764 --> 00:04:19,496

So thank you for being here.

39

00:04:19,496 --> 00:04:22,129

Thank you for believing that integrity matters.

40

00:04:22,129 --> 00:04:26,172

And thank you for giving it a voice through your actions every day.

41

00:04:26,248 --> 00:04:28,409

The next episode is already in the works.

42

00:04:28,409 --> 00:04:32,650

It is going to be an interesting interview with one of our guests.

43

00:04:32,650 --> 00:04:35,431
