Hello and welcome or welcome back to the podcast, The Human Factor Corporate Integrity
Matters.

:
00:00:06
I'm Sonja Stirnimann, your host, and after a two year break, it feels both humbling and
exciting to be talking to you again.
3
:
00:00:14
First of all, a big thank you to all of you who reached out during our break and asked
when new episodes would be coming.
4
:
00:00:24
Your messages, your encouragement and your continued commitment to our evergreen content
meant more than you maybe think.
5
:
00:00:32
You reminded me, you reminded us as a team, that integrity and ethical leadership are not
only timeless, they are desperately needed in every corner of our organizations and
6
:
00:00:44
societies.
7
:
00:00:50
In today's complex business environment, leaders need not only to be prepared for the
worst, but also to build their resilience.
8
:
00:00:58
At The Human Factor, Corporate Integrity Matters' Sonia Stirnimann invites top executives,
board members, and industry experts to reflect and talk about the realities of corporate
9
:
00:01:08
integrity, risk, and ethical leadership.
10
:
00:01:11
As an international governance authority, independent director, and entrepreneur, she
understands the challenges leaders face.
11
:
00:01:19
Integrity and ethical leadership are not just principles.
12
:
00:01:22
They build resilience, enhance reputation, and create strategic competitive advantage for
organizations and for individuals.
13
:
00:01:39
Today I'm delighted to report that we are back.
14
:
00:01:43
And we are back with the same focus and even
15
:
00:01:47
see greater purpose in giving integrity a voice.
16
:
00:01:51
You will notice a few things going forward.
17
:
00:01:54
There will be a new episode every other week.
18
:
00:01:57
We will continue to bring powerful conversations with inspiring leaders and you will also
hear solo episodes from me where we dive deeper into practical reflections and tools you
19
:
00:02:10
can apply immediately in your organizations and in your daily life.
20
:
00:02:14
Our focus is sharper than ever.
21
:
00:02:17
The human factor, the heart of resilience, of integrity, of ethical leadership is front
and center.
22
:
00:02:24
Because organizations don't lead, people lead.
23
:
00:02:28
And the impact of every decision, every silence, every courageous step reaches far beyond
the walls of any organization.
24
:
00:02:38
And over the past more than 60 episodes,
25
:
00:02:41

their journeys, their challenges and also their victories.
26
:
00:02:50

their unwavering commitment to strengthening ethical leadership.
27

00:03:03

28
:
00:03:10
