Work Truths: Off the Record

Work Truths: Off the Record is a multi-series podcast focused on revealing the stories and emotions that shape us at work, hosted by Rachel Morris, executive coach and award-winning author. Each series will focus on an experience that is topical and common to many working people – one that is often hidden or unspoken, yet perhaps unsurprisingly, is frequently brought into the coaching room. Through conversations with different professional experts, perspectives on the topic will be aired, explored and deeper insight gained, taking hidden experiences and sharing them for more people to learn and to benefit from. Series Two: Imposter Phenomenon In the second series of Work Truths: Off the Record, we’re turning our attention to Imposter Phenomenon – a deeply personal and often hidden experience that affects people across roles, industries and levels of seniority. Despite outward success, many individuals quietly question their abilities, feel like a fraud, or fear being “found out”. These feelings can shape decisions, limit potential, and impact wellbeing, yet they are rarely spoken about openly. In this series, host Rachel Morris speaks with a range of guests including authors, researchers, lawyers and HR professionals, combining expert insight with lived experience. Each conversation explores different perspectives on imposter phenomenon, helping to normalise the experience and bring greater understanding to its causes, impact and ways through it. This series will resonate with anyone who has ever doubted themselves at work, as well as those supporting others, leading teams, or simply wanting to better understand the inner experiences that shape how we show up professionally. Series One: Burnout In the first series of Work Truths: Off the Record, we’re diving into the topic of Workplace Burnout, which is widely reported to be on the rise globally, with recent data showing record levels of burnout amongst a wide range of employee groups. The factors contributing to burnout are complex, and the impact on an individual experiencing it is often severe. Which is why, in each episode of the series, host Rachel Morris will be asking a different expert to share their insights and experiences, to bring understanding, comfort and inspiration to us all. This series will be equally relevant and interesting to those supporting someone through burnout, experiencing burnout themselves, or simply curious about the topic.
