In this episode of the Future Fit Leadership Podcast, Ariel and Div discuss the development and impact of the NotMe app, a speak-up solution for workplace safety and misconduct reporting. They delve into the background of the app, its functionalities, and the transformative role it plays in fostering a safe and inclusive work culture.

Ariel, originally from France, is a lawyer, a father of three, an avid tennis player, and the creator of NotMe. Div, a behavioral psychologist from South Africa, is the founder of Mindtribes and focuses on addressing negative behaviors in the workplace.

The NotMe app serves as a transformative tool for creating a safe work environment by facilitating early reporting and proactive prevention of misconduct. The app can help address workplace issues before they escalate, improve HR efficiency, and foster a culture of trust and transparency.

Leaders are encouraged to embrace the app as a strategic tool for enhancing workplace safety, addressing cultural issues, and complying with legal requirements.

HR practitioners should evaluate the app's benefits, engage in collective action across sectors, and advocate for a culture of speaking up and reporting early to prevent harm and promote well-being in the workplace.

Paul McGee, known as the Sumo guy, is a seasoned speaker and author who is based in the UK. McGee's book, "Sumo: Shut Up, Move On," has been a bestseller for over 19 years, resonating with audiences worldwide.

In this conversation he shares insights into resilience, personal growth, and effective communication.

The Sumo philosophy comprises six core principles focusing on self-improvement, resilience, and effective communication.

Concepts like "change your t-shirt" emphasize taking responsibility and avoiding victim mentality.

The beach ball analogy underscores the significance of understanding others' perspectives for effective communication.

And my favourite "Hippo Time" because there are times where you cant shut up and move on, however be conscious of how much you spend wallowing in the mud. 

Paul is in Australia to celebrate his 60th birthday and will be available for speaking engagements. You can connect with him on https://www.thesumoguy.com/ 

He would be a great addition to any conference line up

A young women was killed in an unprovoked attack in Perth yesterday (17/3) while walking with her family members. Her name was Melanie Kizenga and she was just 22! Everyone should be able to walk safely in our streets.

I wrote this piece last week and sent it to a few of my tribe, who all said I should publish it. It is a call out for the safety of women, for men to step up, for there to be a collective rage on how many women are killed.

I dont know what the answers are however I do believe that our voices can be louder than what they are.
