Is Nutrition the key to gravitas? It’s hard to pull off the witty, relaxed, and confident demeanour of someone with “it”, with Gravitas IF we don’t feel the foundation of confidence and self-belief to begin with. Join my conversation with Michele Chevally Hedge, a nutritional medicine practitioner and health author, who was previously a marketing manager at Microsoft. We discussed the moment in her career where her waistline was growing as fast as the company she worked for, the morning she tried to pull on a skirt that was too tight and how she couldn’t bear to look in the mirror. Michele really understands the needs of time poor corporate executives who, family, or not, want health but not hassle. We touch on the pillars of energy, mental well-being, sleep, and productivity. All without giving up wine and coffee. Terrific conversation with some actionable tips. Listen for the exclusive bonus mentioned in this episode.

#144 Simone Clarke - When can we take Gender out of Leadership
Friday Mar 08, 2024
Friday Mar 08, 2024
Simone Clarke, CEO of UN Women, Australia is a seasoned executive leader with over 25 years of experience in global sustainability, humanitarian development, and not-for-profit leadership. She advocates for women's empowerment, sustainability, and impactful social programs. With extensive experience at organizations like UNICEF, Save the Children, Telstra, the AFL, and Mission Australia, Simone brings valuable expertise to the table. In our conversation, Simone challenges gender stereotypes and emphasizes the need to focus on leadership rather than gendered labels. Simone shares how she is tackling the very real challenges as a result of the workplace’s historical bias towards men and that gender diversity is not just an issue for People & Culture teams. We talk about being a CEO, the continual need to reflect and the skills Simone is still investing in. Lastly, we reflect on the dramatic change in sentiment we felt towards International Women’s Day (IWD) celebrations and the potential trivialisation of a fundamental human right. Another brilliant conversation with a powerful leader driving change.

#142 Jacqueline Chow - Being Brave is a Choice
Friday Feb 23, 2024
Friday Feb 23, 2024
Jacqueline Chow is intensely curious and always has a plan. Key to her success has been the willingness and integrity to share the plan with those around her! Together we discuss the role great sponsors played in her career by expertly guiding her to stay close to where the economic value was created in business. She shares the deeply personal experience of working for a leader where the “chemistry” was off and how after trying everything she could to “fix” things, it felt silly to stay any longer. This experience took 18 months to recover from. As Jacq said, we join an organisation and leave an individual. We discuss what inspires her, and what she looks for when recruiting a CEO. Jacq is a non-executive director of Boral, Charter Hall, Coles Group and nib holdings. She has over twenty-years operational experience running large, blue-chip multinationals, including Fonterra, Arnotts & Kellogs across Asia Pacific, the US and Latin America. A beautiful conversation about following whatever you are intensely curious about.

#141 Dr John Izzo - Watch where the puck is going
Friday Feb 16, 2024
Friday Feb 16, 2024
Hurt people hurt people. Everything in this conversation focuses on being whole, bringing the whole person to work, integrating the masculine and feminine. Dr John , a best-selling author and keynote speaker who has advised over 800 global companies invites us to lead a certain way. We discuss toxic masculinity and how the messages of being strong, stoic and not asking for help is at the core of male wellbeing (or not). We discuss how the masculine paradigm has dominated leadership with traditional energies of power, status, competition valued above anything else.We discuss how you find joy as a leader and how we have never been trained in being resilient and staying happy. Dr. John shares the three-step framework they use at Blueprint, a collaboration with University of British Columbia to enhance the well-being of men and communities. Insightful and thought-provoking. I love his advice to watch where the puck is going. He is based in Canada. Yes, puck.
