Chats with Leaders

The “unorthodox” Leader; Living And Leading With Your Personal Values with Pascal Derrien, Ceo Of Migraine Ireland

Season 2 Episode 20

What do you want your legacy to be as a leader, and as a person?

How do you want to live your life?

What impact do you want to make?

In today’s podcast episode we talk about asking yourself the important questions as a leader, and so much more!

Pascal has a wonderful story; from punk journalist to a high-flying corporate career at Microsoft, to improving work and life for migraine sufferers in his role as CEO of Migraine Ireland.

What stands out about Pascal is his refreshing take on what it is to be a leader; staying true to your personal values and being a good human being too.

I knew Pascal had a great story from our first interaction on Linkedin, and I am delighted to be sharing it with you today.

On today’s episode we chat about:

  • Why he doesn’t read leadership books or watch motivational speakers
  • Loneliness as a leader; why we need to talk about it more
  • Key questions every leader needs to ask themselves
  • Living an uncompromising life; choosing happiness over job title
  • Why Chief People Officers should be valued as much as Chief Financial Officers
  • Supporting your leaders from Day 1; the importance of onboarding leaders effectively
  • Demystifying Migraine; why migraine needs to be a key DE&I topic for Organisations 
  • Approaching careers with no plan; embracing an unorthodox career path


As always, I would love to hear from you and what stands out about this podcast episode.
