Ep 180
Quiet quitting, in THIS economy?!?!
Job security is at an all-time low, unemployment is at an all-time high, and yet the stats show employees are disengaging from work.
Ep 179
Is it feedback or criticism? Here’s the filter
What to do about the criticisms taking up space in your head, right now.
Ep 178
Is your marriage harming your career?
If you choose to couple up, the person you choose is probably going to have the single biggest impact on your career.
Ep 177
Are you the drama? Victims, Villains, and Heroes at work
Where the drama triangle came from (a 1960s sports doodle, weirdly) and why these roles still run the show at work and at home.
Ep 176
The first 90 days (and why you’re allowed not to know things)
Why your first 90 days are for diagnosing before you prescribe, not hitting the ground running
Ep 175
How to talk to sceptics – without needing to win
How to handle these conversations when they find you, from getting curious instead of combative (It's hard!).
Ep 173
Why your managing up isn’t landing
Nat and Kristen dig into one overlooked element of managing up: alignment (not reassurance-seeking).
Ep 172
Why no one asks the obvious question
The most useful question in any meeting - the basic, obvious, 'dumb' one - is almost always the one nobody asks!
Ep 171
Stop waiting to be noticed
The 5 followership styles - passive, alienated, survivor, conformist, effective - and why almost everyone thinks they're the 'good' one
Ep 170
Everyone’s flat right now (not just you)
Why people are checking out (spoiler: six years of economic chaos can do that), why change fatigue is different this time, and whether the generational blame game is useful.
Ep 169
Your calendar isn’t a democracy
Many of us treat a meeting invite like a court summons - accepting on autopilot, turning up unprepared, and wondering why we're always busy but never get anything done.
Ep 168
Write your own obituary (no, really!)
How to use your obituary as a filter: for your values, career, and whether you're living the life you want or just operating on autopilot.
Ep 167
Why you always put everyone else first
Why women are wired to put others first and how decades of conditioning pile on to make self-prioritisation feel uncomfortable.
Ep 166
The ick list: Workplace edition
From performative cultural awareness and name-dropping to people who swan into meetings mid-phone call just to look busy, Nat and Kristen share their workplace icks.
Ep 161
Reading the room: A workplace superpower
The underrated skill of reading a room - who holds the power, where to sit, and how to spot silent dissenters before they tank your project.
Ep 160
Crisis fatigue is real, here’s how to cope
The spectrum of crisis responses (are you a checker, an avoider, an evangelist, or just fully paralysed?)
Ep 159
We need to talk about your meetings
Why time wasted in unproductive meetings has doubled since the pandemic, 70% of senior execs admit meetings are inefficient, and what you can do about it.
Ep 158
Why we wait for permission
Where permission-seeking comes from, why it's a learned behaviour rather than a personal failing, and what you can do about it
Ep 157
IWD special: Find your voice (and help others find theirs)
Why it takes a supermajority of women before they get equal airtime, and what's actually going on when women go quiet.
Ep 156
Labels are limiting you
Labels aren't neutral - and the ones we fling at ourselves might be doing more harm than good!
