Lost in Transformation

What does it really take to lead people through change, not the neat frameworks, but the messy, emotional, human side of transformation?

In this episode of Uplifting Leaders, we reconnect with Rupert Brown, seasoned Global HR Leader and author of Lost in Transformation. With a career spanning P&G, Maersk, and Virgin Media, and leadership experience across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, Rupert brings a wealth of global perspective on guiding organizations through disruption.

Hosted by Serap Zel, Founder & CEO of Uplift, this episode explores:

• Why vulnerability can be a leadership superpower and how to balance openness with authority

• The unexpected value of “difficult” voices and how leaders can reframe them as early warning signals

• How to steer in a “never normal” world where predictability is rare and the playbook is constantly shifting

• Why transformation is also about identity, and how to create space for people to process change

• The role of “distributed trust” and how leaders can tap into peer-to-peer trust in uncertain times

• Rupert’s personal journey of writing Lost in Transformation and how it shaped his views on leadership today
