    Ep 84: How Compassion Makes Better Leaders

    In this ep, we break down more buzzwords of leadership – empathy and compassion – and why compassion might just edge empathy as a critical skill for leaders. Empathy lets you feel all the feelings, but too much of it can lead to burnout. Compassion, on the other hand, drives action and keeps us sane. We'll share tips on striking the perfect balance and why showing you care doesn't mean you're too soft or "nicey nice". 'Til next week, Powrsuiters! Got a topic you want us to discuss?

    Ep 83: The Roles We Play in Conflict: Victim, Villain, or Hero?

    In this ep, we break down the Drama Triangle, a concept from psychologist Stephen Karpman. We explore the roles we fall into during conflict: the Victim, who feels helpless; the Villain, who blames and criticises; and the Hero, who swoops in to "save" others but reinforces dependency. Learn how these patterns create cycles of miscommunication and unresolved conflict, and how recognising them can help you break free of any unhelpful patterns in your life.  'Til next week, Powrsuiters!

    Ep 80: Is Multitasking Actually Slowing You Down?

    We’ve all heard multitasking is a superpower, but is it really? In this ep, we explore the surprising origins of multitasking, why it's more of a myth than a skill and the heavy toll it takes on your brain.

    Ep 79: Beyond the jargon: What exactly is strategy?

    In this ep, we tackle the often misunderstood world of strategy. We break down why people love talking about it but hate doing it and why it’s often mistaken for planning and tactics. You’ll hear how strategy is more about making tough decisions, big bets and adapting to change. We’ll also celebrate some inspiring women leaders who nailed it—like Whitney Wolfe Herd (Bumble), Sara Blakely (Spanx), and Jessica Alba (Honest Company) - who all took bold, values-driven strategies that resonated with their audiences and built billion-dollar brands.

    Ep 78: How important is praise? Very!

    When was the last time someone gave you positive feedback? In today’s ep, we’re unpacking the science behind positive feedback and why it’s genuinely a culture game-changer, both at work and in life. Research shows that teams with more positive feedback outperform others, and even a simple belief in someone’s potential can elevate their performance. This holds true for marriages, too! Want to avoid divorce? Check that positive-to-negative ratio! Eek.  We’ll explore how positive reinforcement works and how it can deepen commitment, and share practical tips for incorporating it into your daily routine. 'Til next week, Powrsuiters!
