ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY
This episode was recorded in Tāmaki Makaurau. I acknowledge the mana whenua of Tāmaki Makaurau, Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, and all iwi of this region. I honour the Indigenous people, their land, waters, and traditions. I also acknowledge their ancestors, the guardians of the past, and their present leaders.
ABOUT SEB
Following a childhood dominated by music, Seb left Bristol to study singing at the Royal College of Music, London. After struggling to make it as an opera singer, he joined the police in 2011. He now combines music and policing with his charity, the Blue Light Symphony Orchestra.
ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Join me on an inspiring journey as I sit down with Seb Valentine, a police officer in the UK who shares his unique career path from a professional musician to a member of the Surrey Police. Seb offers a fascinating look into his current role as a staff officer for the chief constable, where he gains rare insights into leadership and organizational management. With a background as a detective sergeant specializing in domestic abuse cases, Seb has worn many hats in the policing world. But that's not all—his life is also steeped in music, having studied singing at the Royal College of Music and working as a freelance opera singer before embarking on his law enforcement career. Listen in as we explore how Seb manages to balance these dual passions, drawing leadership lessons from both conducting and policing.
Explore Seb's transformative journey from music to law enforcement, sparked by a change of heart during his university years. Originally set to pursue physics, Seb embraced his musical passion, which eventually led him to the Royal College of Music. While the life of a baritone was rewarding, the unpredictable nature of freelance work pushed Seb toward volunteering as a police officer. This role satisfied his childhood fascination with emergency services and allowed him to make a meaningful impact in his community. In our conversation, Seb reflects on how these experiences have shaped his approach to both music and policing, finding fulfillment in bridging these two worlds.
Finally, discover how Seb's musical talents have found a new purpose in the emergency services. Seb recounts his journey from organizing local choirs to founding an orchestra for police personnel, designed to accommodate their demanding schedules. Through this unique ensemble, Seb has been able to foster a community that combines the structured interaction of music with the high-stakes environment of emergency services. The parallels between conducting and police leadership are explored, emphasizing the strategic direction and attention management required in both fields. Seb also shares the therapeutic potential of music, spotlighting a charity initiative that leverages music as a healing tool for those in emergency services. Don't miss this episode filled with inspiring stories and valuable insights into the power of music and leadership.
