This week in our conversation with Thomas Krause, Kim and Jamie explore how hybrid workplaces address core values, the similarities and differences. We also touch on how having a project team with a certain set of values, that may be different to the organisation, can function within that framework.

This week we begin a three part series of conversation with Thomas Krause PhD about organisational culture, core values and change leadership.



In this introductory session, Kim and Jamie hear about the importance of upward flow of information and how long it actually takes to change organisational culture.

This week we continue our conversation about the benefits and subtleties of using AI in the workplace. Jamie shares a way he uses AI to make meetings and subsequent action items more efficient and Kim outlines how she has been able to harness the research and planning capabilities of AI to bring a long awaited activity to life.

This week Kim and Jamie look at the various ways you can utilise the best of AI, whatever model you choose, to increase your resources for projects and activities in your organisation.



The “answer” engine Jamie mentions is Perplexity. With Part 2 there will be a download that Jamie has put together with his recommendations for prompts and the various AI models as well as utilities such as OtterAI that he now uses for a variety of repetitive tasks.

Have you been thinking it is time to call a halt to a project? Is it time to move to another organisation or career? How do you know when it is the “right” time?



This week Kim is flying solo and talks about what to consider when making this decision whether it is for a career, project or activity. We hear from her own experience how those decisions have changed her own career and focus, even as recently as last weekend. This podcast also goes some way to show that perhaps it was not always Fulyana that deserved the “talkative” title!

This week we conclude our conversation with Ted Santos by covering neuroplasticity, negotiating chaos and the importance of asking questions even if you think you know the answer. We also hear some fascinating statistics/facts on the influence of conflict resolution skills related to employee engagement.

We continue our conversation with Ted Santos, this week discovering why we need to unlearn what we thought was required in leadership roles and the importance of a paradigm shift rather than a paradigm improvement. We also hear about recognising and managing “bad” change before it causes harm.

We begin a three part conversation with Ted Santos about how to discover what we don’t know we don’t know in order to develop skills for being a “disruptive” leader.



There is an intriguing exercise (which both Kim and Jamie fail!) about identifying what you know…..

In the final part of our conversation with Elizabeth Moran, we learn the neuroscience of optimism and how that can help us manage a changing team environment. We also have a visit from Elizabeth’s cat which creates something of a distraction for everyone!

This next of our conversation with Elizabeth Moran delves into the realms of “fear” and how that can manifest itself in times of change. There are also some practical tips for leaders to recognise reactions in themselves as well as their team members.

This week we begin a three part conversation with Dr Elizabeth Moran about change and neural pathways. We hear about the basis for our behaviours when change is thrust upon us as well as why leaders are measuring change management success the wrong way.

In the first of four episodes with Steven Gaffney, Kim and guest host Jamie Wadley hear about the importance of “honest” communication and what that actually means.



We also explore the difference between high performing and high achieving teams, getting the unsaid said as well as the link to deep listening as was discussed with our recent guest Oscar Trimboli earlier this year.

Thank you all for your input, loyalty and support.

In the final part of our conversation with Oscar Trimboli, Jamie Wadley (standing in for Fulyana) and Kim hear about ways to prepare for meetings, making them shorter and more focused as well as integrating deep listening with management reviews.

We continue our conversation with Oscar Trimboli on the subject of “Deep Listening” looking at answers to two questions submitted by listeners:



How does deep listening impact decision-making at the executive level, particularly when managing large, geographically diverse teams or navigating crises?



Many executives are trained to be fast problem-solvers — how can they balance the need for speed with the patience deep listening requires?



One of the answers poses a further question from Oscar – are we solving the “wrong” problem?
