Navigating Change and Finding True Leadership with Jamie McIver [Ep 48]

In this thought-provoking episode of True Power, I’m joined by the insightful Jamie McIver, General Manager of Adeption Australia, leadership coach, and advocate for personal transformation. Jamie’s work is rooted in helping leaders unlock their potential by shifting from external validation to inner alignment—claiming their power rather than giving it away.

Throughout our conversation, Jamie shares his journey of navigating change, overcoming self-doubt, and stepping into leadership with authenticity. From growing up in a constantly changing environment to excelling in corporate leadership, he reflects on the moment he realised that true leadership isn’t about meeting expectations—it’s about being true to yourself.
