Welcome to Sparks Squared Speakeasy. This is where leadership conversations get real. Each week we open the door to the kind of discussions leaders usually have behind closed doors. No scripts. No corporate polish. Just honest conversations about leadership, workplace culture, service excellence, and what it really takes to lead people well. Hosted by Cassandra Spark, Boldness Coach, and Ewan Riccio-Laing, founder of Figary Learning, this podcast brings bold perspectives, practical insights, and real stories from the front lines of leadership. If you’re tired of leadership clichés and want conversations that are thoughtful, candid, and occasionally a little cheeky, you’re in the right place. Pull up a chair, pour yourself something good, and step inside the speakeasy. New conversations drop regularly, and you can also join the discussion with new episodes every Friday!

    This week, we’re getting real about change, adaptability… and giving a fig. From rebranding a business (👀 hello, Figury Learning!) to navigating the messy middle of transformation, this episode is all about what it actually takes to lead through change without losing your mind—or your authenticity. 💥 Inside the conversation: Why people don’t resist change… they resist how it’s doneThe power of keeping it simple (and honest) when everything feels uncertainWhat it really means to meet people where they areHow bold, human communication beats corporate polish every single timeAnd yes… a LOT of fig-based puns 🌱 This one’s equal parts leadership insight, real talk, and chaotic brilliance—just the way we like it. 🎯 This week’s Courage Challenge: Pause. Ask what feels unclear about a change you’re facing. Then listen—without fixing. Because real change starts with understanding. Pull up a chair. The speakeasy doors are open. 🍸

    8. Leading Creativity

    💡 Ever wondered why some teams seem more innovative than others? The secret isn’t talent, but a culture where failure is just data, not a dead-end. In our experience, the most successful teams play full-out, letting ideas rain down without critique — even the bad ones. Why? Because the magic happens when people feel safe to share wild, unfiltered thoughts. When leaders foster an environment of trust and curiosity, creativity blossoms and solutions emerge naturally. It’s not about perfection; it’s about action and embracing uncertainty.What’s one small thing you can do today to make your team feel safer sharing their ideas? Maybe it’s as simple as saying, “There are no bad ideas here — just opportunities to learn.” Think about it. When was the last time someone truly felt safe to speak up, even if their idea seemed “off”? Let’s break the silence, together.
