Are your people spiritually starving at work and is that quietly costing your business?

In this episode, I’m talking about soul food at work. Not catered lunches or coffee tabs, the real stuff. The kind that nourishes your spirit and shifts a workplace from transactional to transformational.

I’ll walk you through what feeding the soul looks like inside an organisation, and why it’s far from fluffy. You’ll hear how practices like gratitude, purpose alignment and emotional awareness are backed by science (not just vibes), and why they directly impact performance, creativity and retention.

I also share my own story: the burnout, the pivot, the four years in Cambodia that changed everything and how those experiences shaped my obsession with helping leaders bring soul food back into their workplaces.

What’s your soul food at work? What nourishes or drains you in your day-to-day? Start small, try one soul food practice with your team this week. And if this resonated, come connect with me on LinkedIn here. We’d love to hear your HR horror stories or the rituals that work for you.

Are HR leaders really locked out of the CEO seat, or are we holding ourselves back?

In this episode, I talk about the real reasons HR professionals aren’t landing the top job, and why it’s not because we're underqualified.

From imposter syndrome to commercial confidence and the myth of “not being given the chance.” I break down the habits and mindset traps keeping us small and how to break free from them.

You’ll walk away with practical ways to strengthen your CEO readiness: how to build your personal board, sharpen your commercial edge, and say yes before you're 100% ready.

This one’s for the HR leader who’s ready to stop waiting and start leading.

So what’s the next move for you? Is it finally putting your hand up? Getting closer to the numbers? Or just backing yourself the way others already do?

Wherever you’re at, I’d love to hear it. Come say hi over on LinkedIn here.

What if the skills you’ve honed in HR are exactly what’s needed to be a CEO?

In this episode, I challenge one of the most frustrating myths in the business world. That HR leaders can’t become CEOs. I spotlight some standout CHRO-to-CEO success stories, from Leena Nair’s leap from Unilever to Chanel, to Mary Barra’s transformation of General Motors, to Anne Mulcahy pulling Xerox back from the brink.

These aren't just career highlights; they’re proof that people leadership is business leadership.

You’ll hear how these leaders used empathy, trust, and cultural reset strategies to steer global companies through massive disruption. I talk about what made them the right choice in moments of crisis and why HR is often the proving ground for top leadership.

This is the episode every HR leader needs to hear if they’ve ever felt stuck or underestimated.

Whether you're eyeing the C-suite or cheering others on, you’ll leave with a sharper lens on what it really takes to lead, and why it’s time to rethink where HR fits in the executive hierarchy.

Which HR-to-CEO story inspired you the most? Tag us on LinkedIn here, I’d love to hear your thoughts and celebrate the trailblazers you're watching. And if this episode made you rethink what’s possible, share it with a HR mate who needs the reminder.
