  • Uncaged Leadership with Katia Vlachos

    Uncaged Leadership with Katia Vlachos
    Dec 15 2025
    How a defence analyst became a reinvention coach.

    In this episode of Speech Bubbles, Charlotte talks with coach, speaker, and author Katia Vlachos about what it really means to become uncaged as a leader and as a human.

    Katia shares her journey from high-flying defence analyst to reinvention coach and author of A Great Move and Uncaged: A Good Girl’s Journey to Reinvention. She explains how invisible cages like perfectionism, people-pleasing, and self-sacrifice quietly shape our careers and relationships – and how learning to self-validate, rather than chasing external approval, changes everything.

    Together, Charlotte and Katia explore:
    * How to spot your own cages and start breaking free
    * Why reinvention is never starting from scratch, but building bridges from what you already know
    * The link between purpose, self love, and true authority
    * Katia’s idea of uncaged leadership – leading from deep self awareness, integrity, and inner security
    * Why vulnerability, feedback, and inner work are non-negotiable for modern leaders

    Katia closes with three powerful tips for emerging leaders: do the inner work, become your own secure base, and be a secure base for others so they can take risks and grow.

    Also there's a shout-out to one of Charlotte's favourite authors and podcasters, Glennon Doyle.

    If you care about reinvention, personal growth, and building a more humane style of leadership, this conversation will land with you.

  • Doing Well by Doing Good with Zoë Colosimo

    Doing Well by Doing Good with Zoë Colosimo
    Dec 8 2025
    Building the future of social impact.

    In this episode, host Charlotte Otter talks with Zoë Colosimo, a founding member and Chief Operating Officer at Neighbourly, the UK platform connecting big brands with local communities. Neighbourly helps companies turn brand purpose into real-world impact through volunteering, grants, and redistribution of surplus food and products – delivering more than £1.7 billion in social value and over 270 million meals across the UK and Ireland.

    Zoë shares how corporate social responsibility has moved from the edge of business to its heart, driven by ESG, reputation, and rising expectations from employees and customers. She explains how Neighbourly’s data shines a light on what every neighbourhood needs, and how partnerships with companies like Microsoft are tackling digital poverty through AI skills training for community organisations and the people they support.

    Breaking news: Since this episode was recorded, Zoë, the Neighbourly team and other advocates (convened by the Confederation of British Industry (CBI)), celebrated the announcement in the 2026 Budget that the British government will introduce VAT relief on qualifying business donations of goods to charity. As Zoë says, this is a game changer for business, the charity sector, and channeling excess products to those in need instead of letting them go to waste.

    Charlotte and Zoë also explore:
    • Why trust, social justice, and equitable communities sit at the centre of Zoë’s leadership
    • How AI can both widen and close inequality gaps – and why diverse groups must help shape it
    • Practical ways leaders can stay resilient, positive, and principled in an AI-led world
    • Why local causes boost the reputation of the businesses that back them

    This is an inspiring conversation for leaders, communicators, impact investors, and anyone who believes business should be a force for good.

  • Story Spotting with David Pullan and Sarah-Jane McKechnie

    Story Spotting with David Pullan and Sarah-Jane McKechnie
    Dec 1 2025
    Exploring the art, craft, and science of story with two experts.

    In this episode of Speech Bubbles, Charlotte welcomes David Pullan and SarahJane McKechnie, who are actors turned coaches, authors, and co-founders of The Story Spotters. Their journey began in a rehearsal room, grew into a love story, and eventually evolved into a business where they now help leaders communicate with clarity, confidence, and connection.

    With clients across industries, David and Sarah-Jane teach leaders how to use storytelling to cut through noise, win attention, and bring ideas to life. Together they’ve written two books: The DNA of Engagement and their latest release, The Art of the Unignorable Email, helping professionals communicate in ways that spark action, not delete buttons.

    Charlotte, Sarah Jane and David talk about:
    * Why stories activate the brain and make ideas memorable
    * The secret to communicating in overwhelmed workplaces
    * The real dynamics of building a business, writing books, and staying married
    * Lessons learned from leaders they’ve coached across industries and continents
    * Why listening, presence, curiosity and generosity matter more than volume or status

    This episode is full of humour, humanity, and practical insights for anyone who wants to influence with integrity and communicate in a way that inspires.

    If you’re a leader, communicator, coach, or simply someone who wants their ideas to be heard, you’ll love this one.
