In this episode, I speak to Hannah Hardy-Jones about navigating mental health.
The importance of leaders modelling vulnerability to teams so they feel safe and empowered to share their own struggles Practical strategies for creating safe spaces where team members feel comfortable opening up How to recognise the early signs of mental health challenges in your team Hannah’s personal experience with postpartum bipolar disorder providing a raw perspective on the complexities of mental health challenges. The importance of building supportive and understanding environments in both personal and professional settings.
Hannah is the co-founder of Contented, an AI startup that turns talk into extraordinary outcomes, capturing meetings and conversations and creating meaningful outputs.
She previously founded The Kite Program, a mental health tech company, and has used her background in HR and psychology within her work, as well as her lived experience of postpartum bipolar.
As leaders, we're often expected to have all the answers, but navigating mental health, both our own and others’, is not about having a perfect solution. It's about creating environments where your team feels seen, heard, and supported.
If we can recognise the early signs and open the door to these conversations, we can help reduce burnout and stress in the workplace.

In this episode, I dive into some of my more controversial views on leadership that challenge the norm. These opinions are things I have been thinking about for a while now when it comes to leadership.
Why leadership isn’t as complicated as we make it, and how listening more could be the key to simplifying your role. How fixing everything for your team does more harm than good, and why coaching them through their solutions leads to better outcomes. The difference between being kind and being nice and why kindness, with firm boundaries and direct feedback, gets better results every time.
These takes might challenge the way you see things, but that’s the point.

In this episode, I talk about how certain leadership behaviours can unexpectedly affect your team and your productivity.
How quick responses might set unrealistic expectations for your availability and impact your workload.The risk of being too accessible which can lead to team dependency, stifling their ability to solve problems independently.The importance of delegating rather than doing, to create and nurture team growth to prevent personal burnout.Recognising that avoiding tough conversations, or 'silent kindness', can lead to frustration and a toxic work environment.
