How do the most effective leaders inspire action—not just compliance? According to Margo Halbert, it starts
with learning how to truly engage.
In this episode, Hanif Ibrahim sits down with Margo—an executive coach, professional speaker, and business advisor to some of Australia’s top organisations including Chevron, Wesfarmers, BHP and Crown. With a passion for helping leaders communicate with clarity and presence, Margo shares how building influence isn’t about performance for performance’s sake—it’s about earning trust, elevating reputation, and opening doors to greater opportunity.
Together, they explore the subtle (and powerful) cues that make people want to follow your lead, how to overcome nerves and imposter syndrome, and why mastering communication is one of the most strategic investments a leader can make.
Whether you’re presenting to a boardroom or leading a team of students, this episode will challenge you to rethink how you show up—and what it means to truly connect.
