Is your remote team thriving, or just surviving under the weight of constant check-ins?

In this episode, I’m unpacking why micromanagement has gone into overdrive in remote and hybrid workplaces, what’s really driving it (spoiler: it’s not your team), and what HR can do to shift it. I’ll walk you through how to spot the red flags, how to have the hard conversations, and what it takes to build trust without losing accountability.

If you're an HR leader, people manager, or just quietly clutching your calendar because your boss wants screenshots, this one’s for you. Let’s stop rewarding control and start enabling clarity, ownership, and actual high performance.

Have you seen micromanagement creeping into your culture? What’s one trust-building shift your organisation could make? Let’s connect on LinkedIn and talk it through.

Are your HR insights driving decisions, or just filling dashboards?

If you're tired of your people data being ignored, this episode is your guide for turning metrics into influence. I’ll show you how to shift from reporting numbers to shaping strategy, using storytelling, psychology, and persuasion. From the “so what” test to Robert Cialdini’s 7 principles of persuasion, we explore practical ways to make data land with impact.

You’ll learn how to frame your insights for different audiences, why storytelling is the secret to executive buy-in, and how to move beyond the spreadsheet to true strategic influence. I also talk about how AI and predictive analytics are game changers for proactive HR, and how we can position ourselves as credible, commercial partners in the business.

Which of Cialdini’s persuasion principles are you already using in your HR storytelling? Which one could you lean into more? Connect with me on LinkedIn and let’s talk about how you’re using data to influence your exec team.

How much time is your HR team spending on the work that actually moves the needle?

In this episode, I discuss lean thinking and how it can transform your HR function from reactive to high-impact. I’ll walk you through real stories from my clients and colleagues, showing how they've slashed admin, halved the time to hire, automated approvals, and saved thousands just by mapping their processes and fixing one thing at a time.

Suppose you’re stuck in firefighting mode, constantly chasing approvals, or drowning in manual data entry. In that case, this episode will show you how to cut the noise and create space for what really matters: your people, your strategy, your culture.

What happens when you take leadership out of the boardroom and into the heart of Cambodia?

In this episode, I'm coming to you live from Phnom Penh, halfway through a leadership experience that's already proven to be more transformative than any classroom session could ever be. I'm reflecting on the power of connection through shared experiences and why travel creates bonds that feel deeper, more authentic, and more human.

We’ll talk about what it means to connect as people first, without titles or status getting in the way, and how these insights can reshape the way we lead back home.

Are we outsourcing HR too much… or just enough?

HR outsourcing is booming, but what does that really mean for the profession? In this episode, I’m breaking down the real impact of outsourcing, consulting, and fractional HR. What’s driving the trend, the risks and rewards, and where in-house HR teams must hold their ground.

I’m cutting through the noise to help you figure out when outsourcing makes sense, when it weakens your internal HR function, and how to stay relevant in a world where external providers are on the rise. If you want to tackle this shift strategically, without losing sight of your HR team’s value, this one’s for you.
