Another training course. Another PowerPoint. Another day you'll never get back?

We've all been there. A full day of corporate training, a few interesting slides, maybe a free lunch... and by Monday, you've forgotten almost everything.

So what's the point?

In this episode of So What..., Chris Argent, Mike Rose and Joel question whether traditional corporate training is still fit for purpose.

From expensive leadership workshops and generic courses to the rise of AI-powered learning, the trio debate why so much training fails to stick and what actually makes learning valuable.

Is it the content? The delivery? Or the opportunity to put what you've learnt into practice?

Because there's a big difference between attending a course and actually developing a capability.

And if nothing changes afterwards, what exactly did we pay for?

What if being yourself was the biggest risk you took in the boardroom?

For CFO Rachel Shorter, it took 20 years into her career to feel comfortable wearing her natural braids in the boardroom.

In this episode of It's Not All About the Numbers, Rachel Shorter joins Chris Argent and Mike Rose to challenge what professionalism really looks like, why diversity doesn't always mean inclusion and why success shouldn't come at the expense of your wellbeing.

Rachel also shares the story behind the Antilles Network, a wellness community creating safe spaces for Black women, and explores what genuine allyship looks like in practice.

Because getting a seat at the table is one thing.

Feeling like you can be yourself when you get there? That's another.

We're told great leaders should be authentic, vulnerable and transparent.

But how transparent is too transparent?

In this episode of So What...?, Chris Argent, Mike Rose and Joel Johansen explore whether more openness really does create better leaders, stronger teams and greater trust.

From bosses admitting they don't have all the answers to competitors sharing information and governments opening up their data, the conversation explores what happens when we stop guarding information quite so closely.

But there has to be a line... right?

Because transparency doesn't mean sharing everything with everyone.

So where do you draw the boundary between healthy openness and plain old oversharing?
