A few years back, a best selling book appeared about why we shouldn’t worry about the little things in life: Don’t Sweat the small stuff. And it's a tempting premise: as leaders we often focus on the macro.
Our guest today poses the question: what if some small stuff is worth sweating? What if sometimes it's the micro-interactions that can lead to maximum impact in how we build relationships, foster trust, and deepen connections at work and beyond?
In this conversation we are speaking with Sarah Langslow, executive coach, leadership development specialist and author of the brilliant new book, “Do Sweat the Small Stuff: Harnessing the power of micro-interactions to transform your leadership”
We get granular on the often unrecognized power of micro interactions to impact our relationships, our leadership and the culture we create. We explore what it means to practice self awareness and congruence, and how we can ensure we truly and consistently align our intentions with our impacts.

Neurodivergent people face drastic barriers in the workplace, and even to entering the workforce. Like canaries in the mine, neurodivergent people are impacted first by issues that ultimately harm everyone.
In this conversation with Dr Ludmila Praslova we explore how when you look after the people who are most vulnerable in the organisation, the most susceptible to toxic culture and poor systems, you in turn look after everyone. And this creates a massive win-win.
In this thought provoking conversation, we explore the power of an explicitly intersectional and holistic approach to (neuro)inclusion, and what leaders can do to centre, celebrate and invite in multiple voices from the neurodivergent community.
Ludmila shares lived experience and academic rigor, and tangible examples of how the Canary Code Model for intersectional inclusion can transform not just the working life of neurodivergent people, but of everyone.
Ludmila N. Praslova, Ph.D., is Professor of Psychology and the founding Director of Graduate Programs in Industrial-Organizational Psychology at Vanguard University of Southern California. Prior to her academic career, she built and led successful intercultural relations programs in global organizations. Her current consulting is focused on supporting organizations in creating systemic inclusion informed by an understanding of neurodiversity.
This conversation is a guide to change-making for CEOs, managers, HR leaders, and everyone who wants to contribute to building a more inclusive world. It’s changed how we think about inclusion – we’re sure it will for you too!

It’s an undeniable truth that you only die once. And yet as today’s guest explores with us, many of us are already living like the un-dead. Each day passes by with a distinct lack of meaning and vitality.
So how can Memento Mori - remembering we must die - actually make our lives better?
In this conversation we explore the very real reality that we'll all die someday in the future with speaker and Author Jodi Wellman.
Although a seemingly morbid concept, Jodi implores us to view our imminent death as a motivator to live our best life, one that’s wide with vitality and deep with meaning, every single day. And in this conversation she’ll help us understand how.
This conversation was deeply personal for us for various reasons, we explore in the conversation with Jodi, and it’s one that we hope will inspire you to look differently at your work, leadership and life decisions.

All humans go through transitions, and many of us experience challenges that cause us to question who we are and evolve into a more authentic version of ourselves.
This is certainly true for every member of the LGBTQIA+ community, who face adversity not once, but as an ongoing experience, in a plethora of ways and situations. And yet, these same experiences can forge incredible leadership qualities.
Qualities which have never been more needed in leadership.
In this podcast conversation we speak with Bree Fram and Dr Liz Cavallaro, the authors of the incredible new book, “Forging Queer Leaders, How the LGBTQIA+ community creates impact from adversity.” We explore how ‘crucible’ experiences can give rise to an array of key leadership attributes, and the powerful skills that the inner work inherent to coming out and gender transition can grant us.
NOTE: we use the term LGBTQ+ during this conversation to reflect the diversity that exists within the spectrum of sexual orientation and gender identity aside from heterosexual and cisgender.

We tend to think of belonging as something that occurs in a group context, like belonging to a team, an organization, or a community. But what if belonging really starts as an inner journey? A journey of self leadership and radical curiosity towards deeply belonging to yourself, first and foremost.
In this episode with Kim Dabbs we unpack what it means to belonging, and how we step into this power for ourselves. Through Kim’s rich lived-experience as a Korean-born, American living in Munich, Germany she shares what it’s felt like in her experience to be ‘from every where but belong nowhere.’
Kim Dabbs is a global leader in belonging and purpose. In this episode we are unpacking her incredible debut book, You Belong Here: The power of being seen, heard, and valued on your own terms.

Who do you think of when I say the words rebel or insubordination? Perhaps someone who’s disagreeable, maybe even aggressive, someone who sits outside society or the popular norm? What if I told you that insubordination, when done well, isn’t just useful – but should be encouraged?
In this episode we’re learning how to dissent and defy effectively with Dr. Todd B. Kashdan, Professor of Psychology at George Mason University and author of The Art of Insubordination: How to dissent and defy effectively.
This conversation is one we wish we’d had at the beginning of our careers.

He has published over 225 peer-reviewed articles and is in the top 1% of cited scientists in the world (over 48,000 times). Todd has received the American Psychological Association Award for Distinguished Scientific Early Career Contributions to Psychology. He is the author of several books including Curious? Discover the Missing Ingredient to a Fulfilling Life, The Upside of Your Dark Side, and his latest The Art of Insubordination: How to Dissent and Defy Effectively which we unpack today.
To us Todd is a shining example of divergent thinking, both through his research and the incredible way he articles these important concepts. This conversation is an absolute must listen for anyone who is ready and feeling the urge to drive change in the world around them.

One of the most traumatic experiences we can have in the workplace is being made redundant. From one day to the next, your life drastically changes and you don’t have a say.
Being made redundant raises all kinds of questions, as well as feelings like shock, anger and shame.
Sometimes leaders handle redundancies well. More often, they don’t, making the process immeasurably harder for those on the receiving end.
Redundancies are also complex for those who are left behind: you might feel survivors guilt – or the dread of not knowing if you’ll be next.
If you’ve been made redundant you’re not alone. millions of people around the globe experience it every year, and rates have grown over the past 12 months in many countries.
So, what can leaders do to minimise pain for those who leave? How can you ensure culture continuity for those who stay? And for the person who’s been made redundant, what steps can you take to heal, recover and get back into the drivers seat of you career?
In this conversation we explore this with Leanne Elliott who is a Certified Business Psychologist, Consultant and Coach who builds workplaces that empower teams and enable performance. She is also Co-host of the award-winning psychology podcast, Truth, Lies & Work and Co-Founder of people and culture consultancy, Oblong.

Leadership is one of the most hyped topics in business today. But are the historical archetypes of Leadership really the inspiration we should be drawing on?
In this episode we’re unpacking the recent book of Martin Gutmann Ph.D., The Unseen Leader which is an exploration of leadership through the lens of historical scholarship, offering a less sensationalized and stereotypical protagonist's tale of leadership.
Martin’s research focuses on leaders who largely remained unseen and unwritten about through the pages of history. Not because their impact and influence wasn’t substantial, but because they don’t comply with the compelling heroes' tale, and offer us an opportunity to redefine what true leadership is.
Martin Gutmann Ph.D., is a Swiss-American historian, author, and professor at the Lucerne School of Business, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Switzerland. He has published three books, most recently (as co-editor with Dan Gorman) Before the UN Sustainable Development Goals: A Historical Companion (Oxford University Press). He lives in Freiburg-im-Breisgau, Germany, with his wife and their three children.
