  1. Innovation Without the Hype

    Innovation Without the Hype

    Innovation is one of the most talked-about ideas in professional services, yet one of the least clearly defined. For many leaders in regulated and high-trust environments, innovation can feel abstract, risky, or overly associated with technology rather than credibility and client trust. In this episode of Muhami Matters, host Chris Adams, Founder of Muhami and CJA Consulting, is joined by Zena Cox, Operations Director at IdeasUK, to explore what innovation really looks like in practice, particularly within professional services and regulated industries. Together, they discuss why innovation is not about brainstorming sessions or chasing trends, but about implementing ideas that add real value. The conversation focuses on how organisations can innovate in a structured, human-centred way, while balancing risk, compliance, and business-as-usual demands. Topics covered include:The difference between creativity and innovationContinuous improvement as the foundation of credible innovationInnovation in regulated and professional services environmentsBalancing innovation with compliance, risk, and trustWhy defining a clear end goal is essentialListening to clients as the driver of meaningful changeManaging failure, learning quickly, and building psychological safetyWhether organisations need innovation teams or innovation mindsetsMeasuring innovation through outcomes rather than activityA practical 90-day approach to launching innovation effectively Zena shares insights from her experience in highly regulated sectors, including pharmaceuticals and government, and explains how organisations of all sizes can build innovation capability without damaging credibility or trust. This episode is essential listening for leaders, lawyers, consultants, and professionals who want to stay relevant by delivering better outcomes for clients, teams, and organisations, without unnecessary hype.

    You’re Not Failing, Your Expectations Are

    In this episode of Muhami Matters, Chris Adams speaks with international life coach and TEDx speaker Katrine Horn about why so many high-performing professionals feel like they are falling short, even when they are doing objectively well. Katrine shares a powerful reframe: feeling like a failure is often not about capability or effort. It is about the expectations we place on ourselves, and the stories we attach to outcomes. You will hear practical ideas for building sustainable success, including: Sourcing self-worth from within rather than external approvalShifting from “being the best” to “being at your best”Why self-care is a business strategy, not a rewardHow to reduce pressure while still pursuing ambitious goalsSmall daily habits that protect energy and prevent burnout“It’s not because I can, that I have to” as a leadership mindset This episode is for business owners and professionals who want to grow with clarity, capacity, and resilience.
