Thu, 28 May 2026 19:39:11 GMT

In this episode of Beyond Four Walls, host Jodie Fraser sits down with Shane Evans, also known as The Self-Leadership Guy™, to explore what it really means to lead yourself—before you lead anyone else.

With over two decades of experience in HR, leadership, and coaching, Shane now dedicates his time to helping misfits, grafters, and overlooked talent reclaim clarity, confidence, and momentum in their lives. Through his grounded, no-fluff approach, he helps people “take back the pen” and rewrite their own stories—on their own terms.

Together, we talk about:

What self-leadership really is (and why it matters now more than ever)
Shane’s personal story of rebuilding and resilience
The myths of personal development
Practical tools for getting unstuck and finding clarity
Why overlooked talent often holds the most potential
His book Be Your Own Leader and the advice he’d give to anyone feeling lost

Whether you’re in a leadership role, stuck in a rut, or simply curious about what’s possible when you stop waiting for permission—this episode is for you.
