Episode three - Don't get caught by the bear

In this episode, I speak with Tim Skeet, a seasoned banker, communicator, and strategist with an international career spanning major financial institutions and advisory roles. Describing his path as a ‘crab career,’ Tim shares how adaptability and resilience have shaped his leadership journey. We discuss what it takes to survive in today’s finance industry, why experience is being undervalued, and whether leaders focus too much on authority and not enough on relationships. Tim also offers candid insights on risk, regulation, and the communication failures that plague financial institutions. With his trademark bluntness and deep expertise, Tim delivers a refreshingly honest take on leadership in high-stakes environments.
