Rethinking Leadership: 3 Simple Shifts That Change Everything

In this powerful talk from BenchPress Live 2026, Elke Edwards shares a fresh and practical way to think about leadership - not as a title, but as something we do every day. She challenges a room full of business owners with a simple question: what actually is leadership? And more importantly, are we doing it well? In just 10 minutes, Elke breaks leadership down into three simple, actionable ideas:

  • What leadership really is (and why most people only do part of the job)
  • Why the best leaders play to their strengths and help their team do the same
  • How your behaviour shapes everything, and why taking ownership changes the results you get

It’s a thoughtful, honest talk that will make you pause and reflect on how you lead your business, your team, and yourself. Because when leadership improves, everything else tends to follow. If anything in this talk resonates, it’s worth taking a moment to think about what small shift you could make next.
