Description

🎙️ On this episode of the Inspiring Leadership Podcast, we’re honoured to welcome The Rt Hon Sir Vince Cable — economist, author, former Leader of the Liberal Democrats, and Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills.


From his early days in the Kenya Treasury and the Foreign Office to advising on global trade, climate policy, and sustainable development, Sir Vince’s career has spanned diplomacy, academia, business, and politics. 📚


He reflects on leadership in government and global institutions, the future of economic policy, and how his experiences — from Shell to the House of Commons — shaped his views on resilience, reform, and responsibility. We also discuss his prolific writing career, including his upcoming book Eclipsing the West.


🌍 With wisdom from decades at the intersection of politics, economics, and global affairs, this is a conversation not to be missed.


🎧 Tune in now for insight, candour, and inspiration from one of Britain’s most influential public thinkers.
