Trench Leadership: A Podcast From the Front, hosted by Simon Kardynal, is a leadership-themed podcast for emerging leaders across all professions to help navigate those intricate moments while leading from the front. In this podcast, you will hear from guests who have been in your shoes, had the triumphs, and made the mistakes.

Throughout the series, Simon uses his personal and professional experiences and connections gained through 26 plus years in the Canadian Armed Forces as a Senior Non-Commissioned Member, a Master of Arts in Leadership, and his experience within a private sector company, to have frank and honest conversations with leaders from diverse backgrounds and professions where we talk about the challenges faced as leaders and followers in a dynamic and ever-evolving world.

  • 129 - Bonus Episode – Pride Amid Prejudice featuring Necole Belanger

    I’d like to begin this episode by acknowledging the land that I am learning and living on is the traditional unceded, un-surrendered territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg People.

     

    It’s been a long time, but I’m so excited to have a conversation with Necole Belanger, Retired Command Chief Warrant Officer in the Royal Canadian Air Force. Necole’s book, Pride Amid Prejudice, where Necole offers her story. 

    This is a story about pride, frustration, happiness, anger, shame, joy, prejudice. Necole and I will talk about how her desire to serve her country, to make an institutional difference, led to her sacrificing her values, to allowing herself be silenced, all for the desire to make a difference.


    Trench Leadership: A Podcast From the Front is humbled to have been named #8 in the Top 20 for Best Canadian Leadership-themed podcasts for 2023.

  • 128 - E100 - Who Do We Choose To Be? featuring Margaret Wheatley

    I’d like to begin this episode by acknowledging the land that I am learning and living on is the traditional unceded, un-surrendered territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg People.

     

    Every leader chooses the type of leader they want to be. It’s a decision that will set our leadership journeys on a path of personal and professional discovery. The thing about this path is that it’s one we are constantly changing the direction of the path, hopefully being built in such a way to nourish and embolden ourselves and our team members. But throughout the entire journey, it’s our choice to be who we want to be that points us in our leadership direction. 

    In this episode, Our 100th Episode!, You’ll hear from Margaret Wheatley, an author and teacher,who will talk about leadership and the kind of leader we can choose to be. Margaret will offer her insight into how emerging leaders can claim their leadership. Margaret will also talk about how we can find our paths, ensuring we can answer our personal and professional questions, because as Margaret says, “Only when we know where we are will we be able to choose a meaningful path forward”.
