    Episode 48: Leading Through Uncertainty (Without Losing the Plot)

    Fresh from running a session with a group of people leaders inside an organisation that’s been acquired unexpectedly, Lorna and Lottie talk about uncertainty. Again - because it’s not going anywhere. Often when employees are asked how they are feeling during these periods, the answers are very human - from feeling distracted and uneasy to cautiously optimistic.Aimed at all people leading an organisation or team through change, Lottie and Lorna urge you not to fall into the trap of interpreting these wobbles as weakness or resistance. Most reactions to change are perfectly normal.Based on solid neuroscience, they advocate for compassionate and stable leadership with seven conditions that make a measurable improvement to how your team performs without losing the plot.

    Episode 47: How to Reach Deskless Workers

    We get it. Communicating within your organisation is tough enough sometimes even when all your staff and colleagues are desk-based. It gets even more difficult when some colleagues, or perhaps most, are not desk-based. Email? Too long; didn't read. Try the intranet? What's my password again? Carrier pigeon? Considering it... What you need is a clear communications plan and rationale that meets your staff and colleagues where they are. We brought along Woodreed founder and 7Seas Advisory Board member, Jo Moffatt, to give you the inside track on how to reach your deskless people, or as Lottie puts it 'reach the unreachable' (ouija board not necessary).

    Episode 44 : Walk The Plank 2025

    In this festive edition of the Deep C Dive, Lorna and Lottie (along with Woodreed founder Jo Moffat and Studio Manager Alex) share what workplace phenomena they'd like to see the back of in 2026. You may find it curious to advocate for ranting in a season famed for being of good cheer. However, research (probably) shows that in order to show up as our best and most-positive selves, getting your frustrations out in a safe way actually makes that so much easier. And so here it is... Walk The Plank 2025. Enjoy!

    Episode 43: Organisational Culture

    What do we mean when we talk about culture in an organisational context? Should we also be talking about organisational climate? And why should we care about it? If you find yourself fatigued by the frequent headlines about 'toxic culture', this is the detox you need. Lottie and Lorna get to grips with this too-often-nebulous concept to help you make real, lasting, and positive change in your organisation.

    How do you create opportunity, for yourself and others, out of adversity and challenge? Joyce Idoniboye (CPO of Oxfam) knows a thing or two about this - and much else! We had the pleasure to spend an hour talking to her about her journey from foster care, to working night shifts in hotels to becoming a leader within one of the most recognisable and important charities in the world.
