Leading 4 Life "Stories"
I am Bob Judson and I spent over 34 years in the Royal Air Force of the United Kingdom as a fast-jet pilot and then eventually as a senior leader, retiring from the military in 2015 as an Air Vice-Marshal (2* General). I subsequently transitioned to the corporate world as a consultant at Deloitte, but in 2019 I stepped away from all that and co-founded Leading 4 Life.
I am passionate about helping to develop the leadership skills of individuals and teams and that is what this podcast is all about. You will hear from me, and from a wide range of special guests, many of whom have had incredible leadership journeys and risen to the most senior level of their governments, militaries and corporations. The focus won't only be on success; there is also much to be learned from the failures along the way!
Thank you for listening!

Leading 4 Life "Stories"
E108 - Guests: Hetti Barkworth-Nanton, CEO of Ploughshare, Chair of Refuge UK, Co-Founder & Patron of The Joanna Simpson Foundation
I'd love to hear from you; feel free to send me a Text Message
This episode is also available as a video podcast on my YouTube Channel here: https://youtu.be/Nx1yfjz0POU
Hetti Barkworth-Nanton is a remarkable individual. She is the CEO of Ploughshare, Chair of Refuge UK, Co-Founder and Patron of The Joanna Simpson Foundation, but those are just the formal positions she holds. Listening to her story, it is clear that, in the margins of her mainstream roles, Hetti is supporting a range of other individuals as they deal with a variety of traumatic personal situations.
Hetti's own journey is an emotional one, but it is a true tale of triumph over adversity. The related story of her campaigning, together with Diana Parkes (Joanna Simpson's mother), to ensure the continued imprisonment of Joanna's killer has received mainstream media publicity, and resulted in both of them being honoured with the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire), as well as winning a Pride of Britain award in 2024.
Hetti's passion, emotion and drive are very evident in all that she says on this podcast. It is a powerful and fascinating story, and she provides a range of great advice and thoughts that will benefit anyone who is currently suffering or has previously suffered with the effects of trauma.
I found it incredibly moving, but we also had a lot of fun doing the interview - I hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Your feedback would be greatly appreciated and, if you like what you see, please share it widely so that others can join the debate.
