It started with a packet of prawn skewers. My husband asked me how to cook them, I answered because it was quicker, and suddenly a completely ordinary Tuesday evening became a perfect example of something much bigger: invisible work.
In this episode, I’m exploring why change is relational, contextual and, yes, sometimes messy.
A night at the theatre reminded me of something we often forget in leadership: people don’t think their way into feeling connected.
I’m joined by Emma Saccomani to talk about boundaries, people pleasing and the difference between genuinely empowering someone and quietly enabling them.
Exploring the gap between what we intend as leaders and how our behaviour actually lands.
Exploring observation as a leadership skill, and why being too close to a team, habit or way of working can make important patterns almost impossible to see.
Almost every leader has a default. Some explain and direct. Some ask questions and wait. The style itself is rarely the problem; it’s that we do it without thinking about who’s in front of us.
Exploring the difference between pressure that drains us and pressure that actually helps us perform better.
Exploring the psychology underneath delegation and why it is about far more than giving someone a clear brief and trusting them to get on with it.
In this episode, I’m getting practical about upward influence and what actually helps an idea land with senior decision-makers.
