I’m seeing more and more businesses panic about falling conversions but often, the funnel isn’t the real issue. Trust is. In this episode, I share the three strategic shifts I believe matter most right now: increasing proximity, strengthening proof with real context, and going deeper instead of simply creating more noise. If your sales feel slower or your audience seems more cautious, this episode will help you refocus on what truly moves the needle in today’s trust-sensitive market.

What does it really cost to stand up to power? And would you be brave enough to do it? In this episode of Angela Henderson Online Business Show , I’m joined by Jo Tarnawsky, a woman who didn’t just talk about integrity, she lived it. She shared her story of challenging the Australian Government, the real cost of moral courage, and what true leadership looks like inside powerful systems. If you’ve ever wondered what it means to lead with integrity when the system pushes back, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

ABOUT JO:

Jo Tarnawsky is a leadership advisor, speaker and former senior government insider who spent 20 years working at the highest levels of power - including as Chief of Staff to Australia’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence, a senior executive supporting the Governor-General, and as a diplomat.

Today, Jo works with leaders and business owners navigating ethical pressure, toxic cultures, and high-stakes decision-making - particularly when doing the right thing comes at a personal or professional cost.

She is known for translating how power actually works inside institutions into practical insight for people building values-led businesses, and for her work supporting professionals recovering from toxic workplaces without losing their confidence, identity or sense of purpose.
