Key to Influence People - Take on Board Podcast ...

I had the pleasure of joining Helga Svendsen’s podcast to dive into one of my favorite topics: Influence with Impact.

In the boardroom (or anywhere, really), influence isn’t just about making noise—it’s about understanding who’s in the room, what matters to them, and why. As I like to say, influence is just good communication on steroids!

In our chat we covered the subtle yet powerful art of connecting with decision-makers and peers alike—because sometimes, influence has to happen without the power of a title. It’s all about those informal, meaningful connections that really move the needle.

Connect with Confidence Podcast - Building ...

Let’s talk about team communication.

It’s not enough THAT we talk to each other, it’s also HOW we talk to each other that counts. And to get better at that we need to reflect, review and refine the process of our discussions, not just the content of them.

It’s like trying to get better at piano by playing for 10,000 hours without review or adjustment. The 10,000 hours of playing bad piano won’t make you an expert, but 10,000 hours that is constantly reviewed, refine and adjusted, definitely will.

Spotlighting Success Webinar

Ed Frauenheim's insights about masculinity during our Spotlighting Success Webinar, really resonated with the work I do in gender equality. Women AND men are all limited by the stereotypes that dictate our cultural norms in society. Women as ‘nice’ and emotional care takers and home makers and men as ‘strong’ and stoic bread winners and financial providers.

Cuppa TV - Silent Voices

Hey everyone, I recently had a chat with Luke Cook on Cuppa TV that I think you'll find interesting… if communication is of interest to you!

We talked about 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 and 𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐮𝐩. We explored the hidden costs of those unspoken barriers that often go unnoticed..and there are many.

"𝘚𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘝𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴" is a conversation aimed at leaders who want to make a change. It's about breaking free from conformity and harnessing the power of genuine dialogue in the workplace.

If you're interested in making space for great ideas to flourish, check out our discussion in this video.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion - Future ...

What happens when you put four passionate people in a room together talking about diversity? Magic! That’s what happens. 🌟 And not just because we all come from different backgrounds, but because our lenses into inclusion in the workplace are also so diverse. From Simon Dewar, Group CEO of BSI Digital Learning, to Kala Philips, CEO of BSI Learning institute and Nola Turner-Jensen, a Senior Aboriginal Research Fellow at Melbourne Uni to myself, Author of the Gender Penalty and When men lead women. The clip is my take on the importance of DEI from an interpersonal perspective… and it’s not just DEI as it stands today; it’s the outcome or goal of DEI - 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠. Diversity without understanding is just difference. It’s disruptive. But diversity with understanding is transformative. It creates belonging.

Difference Project - Dimensions of Difference

Difference Project - Dimensions of Difference

A snippet of a podcast discussion on The Difference Project - We were discussing the dimensions of difference we wanted to explore. For me, the opportunity around difference goes beyond the intellectual experience of recognising (or even appreciating) the differences between individuals. I'm more interested in how we deal with the daily discomfort of difference. And more importantly, what we do about it to transform these feelings of discomfort into moments of curiosity. An opportunity for connection and inclusion. It's a bit more confronting, but this is how we create real change in the diversity space. What do you think?
