    When Ego Says Yes, but the Environment Says No

    Sometimes the hardest lessons in business are the ones that test your self-awareness. In this solo episode of Busting Roadblocks, Janet Charteris shares a personal story about ambition, ego, and timing -  when saying “yes” to a great opportunity looked right on paper but didn’t work in practice. After being headhunted for a senior leadership role, Janet found herself in an environment that wasn’t ready for the structure and commercial discipline she was hired to bring. What followed was a confronting experience about culture, readiness, and the importance of asking better questions before jumping in. She reflects on how to detach self-worth from job titles, why cultural alignment matters more than process, and how to spot when timing - not talent - is the real roadblock. 👉 If you’ve ever taken a role, project, or partnership that looked perfect but didn’t fit in reality, this episode will help you reframe the experience as a lesson, not a failure.

    Busting Roadblocks with Keith Dalmar: When Self-Talk Becomes the Real Roadblock

    When the Numbers Don’t Add Up: How to Handle Costly Mistakes Without Blame

    What would you do if one of your core product lines was actually losing money - and the problem had been signed off by senior leaders, missed by finance, and hidden in plain sight? That’s the situation I faced when I stepped into a new role. A factory shift had left labour costs underquoted by 400%, and on one SKU we were giving away 50 cents per unit. The obvious answer - just raise the price - wasn’t that simple. With a competitor effectively locking the category, advertising spend already committed, and egos on the line, navigating the fix meant solving more than just the numbers. In this episode of Busting Roadblocks, I share how I: ✅ Uncovered the true issue buried in the COGs ✅ Built the case for a two-step price increase ✅ Took it all the way to the board ✅ Executed the plan without losing market share ✅ And fixed the problem - without exposing the leaders who had made the mistake This story is a reminder that leadership isn’t just about commercial acumen - it’s about protecting relationships while driving results.

Andrea shares how she rebuilt trust, reengineered a path forward, and later applied the same mindset to hiking the entire length of New Zealand. When a UK construction project collapsed mid-flight, Andrea’s company got the call. The previous builder had gone under. Contractors were exposed. Clients were emotionally invested. Consultants weren’t even contracted yet. Andrea walked into the mess - and calmly, methodically, engineered a new plan. In this episode, you’ll hear: How she prioritised the most urgent stakeholder - the emotionally invested 3rd-party clientWhat it took to get buy-in from disconnected and distrustful groupsHow the project turned into a success: a new HQ and 250 residential apartmentsWhy the skills she used weren’t just professional - they were personalWe also talk about Andrea’s recent personal challenge - walking the full Te Araroa trail across New Zealand. A solo hike. Thousands of kilometres. One section marked by tragedy. Andrea’s story shows us: calm, planning, prioritisation and resilience aren’t just project tools - they’re a mindset.
