  • Quick Win: What teams get wrong about psychological safety
    You could be trying your hardest to build psychological safety - and still be getting it wrong. Here’s why just one person feeling unsafe can quietly unravel your entire team. In this Quick Win episode, I’m joined by clinical psychologist Sabina Read to unpack one of the biggest leadership mistakes I made last year: misunderstanding how psychological safety really works. We talk about how uneven safety erodes trust, and I share the exact tool my team now uses to make sure we catch culture issues early - before they snowball. Sabina and I discuss: Why psychological safety must be universal, not just widespread The ripple effect of one team member feeling unsafe How safety gaps shift conversations into private whispers The ritual we now use to track team health every 6–8 weeks Why we focus on what’s working - not just what’s broken Key Quote “If just one person doesn’t feel psychologically safe, that can do a lot of damage to the whole level of trust within the team.” Listen to the full episode with Sabina here.

  • How to lead when you’re scared of saying the wrong thing, with Clare Stephens
    What happens when you say the wrong thing online - or at work - and suddenly feel the world closing in? Clare Stephens knows this all too well. After publishing an article that completely missed the mark, she was hit with a wave of outrage that forced her to rethink how she apologised, how she listened, and how she led. In this episode, I sit down with Clare Stephens, writer, podcaster, and former editor-in-chief at Mamamia. We talk about the lessons she’s learnt from being on the receiving end of online criticism, what makes an apology actually land, and how leaders can foster a culture where mistakes don’t spell disaster. Clare also shares how she walked away from what she thought was her dream role to pursue a more creative and values-aligned path. By the end of our conversation, you’ll have a new lens on handling criticism, leading with empathy, and making decisions that keep you true to yourself. Clare and I discuss: Why Clare avoids the term “cancel culture” and what she sees instead The psychological toll of public shaming and internet outrage How constructive feedback – not angry comments – changed her perspective The key difference between apologising online and at work Why leaders fear saying the wrong thing, and how to navigate this Clare’s decision-making hack for choosing what to say yes and no to How comparison with her twin sister shaped her career – and what motherhood taught her about self-worth Key Quotes “The less you do, the quicker the fire ends.” “Sometimes saying yes is just procrastination.” Connect with Clare Stephens on Instagram, LinkedIn and pre-order her latest book The Worst Thing I’ve Ever Done here.
