    • Leading with Heart with Roxanne Hobbs

      Leading with Heart with Roxanne Hobbs
      Feb 16 2026
      Lucinda is in discussion with Roxanne Hobbs, founder of the Hobbs Consultancy, about the importance of leading with heart in the workplace. They look at how empathetic leadership can foster inclusive and high-performing cultures, and Roxanne shares her journey from the advertising industry to advocating for women in leadership, highlighting the significance of balancing empathy with accountability. They explore the complexities of modern leadership, emphasising the need for leaders to embrace both emotional intelligence and performance-driven strategies. KEY TAKEAWAYS And empathy-led approach fosters a more inclusive and high-performing workplace culture. The model consists of three pillars: Connection (empathy and accountability), Authenticity (vulnerability and boundaries), and Consciousness (self-awareness and decisiveness). Leaders should strive to balance these elements to enhance their effectiveness. Leaders need to engage in personal work to overcome past experiences and fears that may hinder their ability to lead with heart A holistic approach helps identify underlying cultural issues and promotes sustainable performance. BEST MOMENTS "I want people to lead with heart, but I can't possibly say that out loud in the workplace. And he said, why not?" "If you're using fear to push people harder, there's only so far you can go with that before people will completely disengage." "The strength lies in the “and”. It's about being empathetic first and holding you accountable." "It's not something extra, it's not something that costs money, but it's how can people really just consider it."

    • Authentic Communication with Sally Pritchett

      Authentic Communication with Sally Pritchett
      Feb 2 2026
      Lucinda discusses the critical importance of employee communication with Sally Pritchett, CEO of Something Big, a creative communications agency. Sally shares her insights on the evolving landscape of workplace communication, the challenges of information overload and the changing expectations of employees who seek transparency and authenticity from their leaders. They also explore the significance of trust in organisations, the need for two-way dialogue rather than one-sided communication, and the role of HR in fostering a culture of engagement KEY TAKEAWAYS Effective employee communication is crucial in today's workplace, where employees expect to be engaged and informed about the organisation's purpose and values, rather than just being told what to do. Transparency and authenticity in communication are essential for fostering trust between leaders and employees. Leaders should acknowledge uncertainties and focus on the organisation's core values to provide stability during challenging times. Organisations should prioritise genuine conversations over monologue-style communication. Engaging employees in dialogue can lead to better understanding and collaboration, rather than simply broadcasting messages. The choice of language in communication can significantly impact employee perception. Using inclusive and relatable language helps employees feel acknowledged and valued, while jargon or corporate speak can create disconnect and distrust. BEST MOMENTS "We need to bring people on the journey. They don't just come because we gave them a job and we're paying them at the end of the month." "I think the best thing [leaders] can do is to say, we don't have a crystal ball. We don't have the answers to what the future looks like." "If you keep telling your kids to stop bickering, what you get is more bickering. Look at what is the main conversation going on in your business." "Treating employees like adults is an absolute must, in my opinion. I think that's often where we fail."

    • Blue Monday - Suicide Prevention with Jessi Beyer

      Blue Monday - Suicide Prevention with Jessi Beyer
      Jan 19 2026
      Lucinda welcomes suicide prevention expert, Jessi Beyer, to discuss the critical yet often overlooked topic of suicide prevention in the workplace. Jessi shares her personal journey into this field, stemming from a life-changing experience in high school, and emphasises the importance of equipping non-mental health professionals, particularly HR practitioners, with the tools to recognise and respond to signs of distress among colleagues. The conversation also introduces the LIFE model—Listen, Inquire, Form a safety plan, and Eliminate lethal means—as a practical framework for supporting individuals in crisis. KEY TAKEAWAYS The LIFE model consists of four key steps: Listen, Inquire, Form a safety plan, and Eliminate lethal means. This framework helps non-mental health professionals effectively support individuals in crisis. Dramatic changes in behaviour, appearance, and substance use can indicate someone is struggling. It's important to be aware of these signs and to actively check in with colleagues who may be exhibiting such changes. Effective communication is crucial in supporting someone in distress. Key skills include reflection, minimal encouragers, mirroring, open-ended questions, summary statements, and the use of silence to create a safe space for sharing. In high-stress situations, such as someone threatening self-harm, the focus should be on slowing down the conversation, building rapport, and listening actively, while also ensuring that professional help is called. BEST MOMENTS "It's those people that are kind of those frontline supports, it's friends, it's family members, it's colleagues that are going to be the people that recognise suicidal ideation first." "If you can do those four things, you will be able to handle and de-escalate the vast majority of suicidal or mental health crises that you might encounter in your workplace." "One of the biggest risk factors for suicide is feeling like you don't have people around you." "If you can combine some of those statistics of like, it's here and it's costing us something, sometimes that's enough to change the tides in an organisation that doesn't think they need to care about mental health."
