We were delighted to join Shannon McKechnie on MBN Solution’s podcast, A Class Act: Conversations in Data and Leadership.

On the podcast our founder, David Meikle, reflects on the leadership lessons he learned introducing AI and automation into the translation industry nearly ten years before most businesses began facing the same challenges.

It was a wide-ranging conversation covering the following main topics:

  • How to lead teams through fear of AI and show its value.
  • Why psychological safety is essential for innovation and high performance.
  • How David rebuilt trust after leading a restructure early in his career.
  • The leadership principles behind scaling from 12% to 98% online orders in a year.
  • Why patience, adaptability, and strengths-based leadership matter most in change.
