Richard Eyre: Leadership, Reinvention & The Decisions That Shape a Career

Richard Eyre CBE joins MENTOR to share the leadership lessons, career decisions and hard-won wisdom that shaped a remarkable journey across advertising, broadcasting, television and digital media. From his early days in advertising at BBH to leading Capital Radio, ITV and some of the most influential organisations in British media, Richard reflects on the opportunities, setbacks and pivotal moments that defined his career. He explains why careers are rarely as planned as they appear, how some of his biggest opportunities emerged from disappointment, and why the ability to adapt matters more than having a perfectly mapped-out strategy. Richard shares candid stories from boardrooms, merger negotiations and leadership roles at the highest level, including the lessons learned from missed opportunities, difficult decisions and managing competing interests under intense pressure. The conversation explores the realities of leadership, from balancing confidence with self-doubt to building influence as an introvert, attracting great talent and learning from people whose strengths differ from your own. Richard also discusses the importance of visibility, mentorship, risk-taking and why some of the most valuable career decisions come from following curiosity rather than certainty.
