What if the biggest threat to your business is already unfolding - and you can't see it yet? And what do you need to be thinking about ahead of tax time? In this episode, we hear two expert perspectives on getting ahead of small problems before they become serious ones. First, executive coach Chris Power explains why “leadership inflection points” can become dangerous moments for organisations, and how strong leaders recognise early warning signs before performance stalls. Then, dual-qualified solicitor and chartered accountant Adam Ahmed of Entity Accountants shares practical advice on staying tax-compliant in a fast-changing landscape, including the risks around crypto, digital payments, and poor planning.

In this episode of Around the School Table, produced by Xuno, host Steve Davis is joined by Dr. Gina Biancarosa, Ann Swindells Chair in Education, Professor in the Department of Special Education and Clinical Sciences, and Director of the Center on Teaching and Learning at the University of Oregon (uoregon.edu), to explore the origins, purpose, and growing impact of DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) in schools across Australia and beyond. Throughout the conversation, Gina explains how DIBELS was developed to help educators identify students who may need additional support with reading. Rather than relying solely on lengthy assessments, DIBELS uses brief, targeted measures that provide valuable insights into a student's literacy development. As a result, teachers can monitor progress more frequently and make informed instructional decisions. The discussion explores the science behind key DIBELS assessments, including letter naming fluency, phonemic awareness, nonsense word fluency, oral reading fluency, and comprehension measures. Furthermore, Gina explains how each assessment aligns with the research on how children learn to read and develop reading comprehension over time. Steve and Gina also examine the importance of reading for meaning. While decoding words is essential, comprehension remains the ultimate goal. Consequently, the episode highlights why effective literacy instruction must support both accurate word recognition and deep understanding of text. In addition, listeners will learn how Australian educators have embraced DIBELS through professional learning communities, including the highly active DIBELS in Oz network. Gina reflects on the collaborative efforts that led to the development of an Australasian version of DIBELS, ensuring greater relevance for Australian and New Zealand students. The conversation also explores how literacy data can be used responsibly within broader school improvement strategies. While assessment data can guide intervention and goal-setting, Gina emphasises the importance of using DIBELS for its intended purpose rather than as a blunt accountability tool. The discussion also touches on how DIBELS data can be analysed and interpreted within broader school improvement processes using tools such as Student Maps. Beyond assessment, Gina shares her personal reflections on reading as a lifelong gift. From childhood favourites to supporting readers with vision impairment, she highlights the profound opportunities that literacy creates throughout life. This episode offers valuable insights for teachers, school leaders, literacy specialists, and education professionals seeking practical ways to support reading growth while maintaining a strong focus on student understanding and success.

What does a cereal box have to do with leadership, reputation and career progression? More than most people realise. In this solo episode of Leading You, Julie Hyde unpacks one of the most powerful metaphors she uses with clients when discussing identity, leadership positioning and professional reputation. Because just like products on a supermarket shelf, people make decisions about you long before they understand the full picture. Your reputation is your packaging.Your behaviours are your ingredients panel.And whether intentional or not, you are constantly training people how to see you. This episode explores why highly capable leaders often become trapped inside outdated perceptions, how behaviours reinforce professional identity over time, and why visibility alone will not move you into your next level of leadership. Julie also explores research from organisational psychologist Dr Tasha Eurich around self-awareness and why the gap between how we see ourselves and how others experience us often widens at senior levels. In this episode, we cover: Leadership identity and reputation Why behaviours shape positioning The danger of becoming known only as “the doer” Strategic positioning vs visibility Self-awareness and executive perception How leaders accidentally reinforce outdated identities Repositioning yourself for future leadership opportunities Why delivering more is not always the answer If you have ever wondered why you continue being seen for the same type of work despite wanting more influence, this episode will challenge how you think about leadership growth. Because your reputation is already speaking for you. The question is… what is it saying?

Chrissie Swan doesn’t do many interviews. “I’m like Halley’s Comet,” she jokes of the astrological phenomenon that only appears every 75 years or so. Now, Chrissie is orbiting back to the other side of the microphone, a place she readily admits she doesn't tend to be. This week on Something To Talk About, Chrissie reflects on the headlines she refuses to let define her, and how she walks the careful line between sharing her life publicly and protecting her children privately. She also discusses leaving breakfast radio, giving up alcohol, co-parenting teenagers, and why uncovering generations of rebellious women and family tragedy on her upcoming episode of SBS’ Who Do You Think You Are? ultimately changed the way she sees herself. Chrissie’s episode of Who Do You Think You Are? airs on SBS on Tuesday, June 9, at 7.30pm. Watch the full episode with Chrissie Swan here.

If your mind hasn’t switched off in a while, this episode is for you. In this solo episode of the Leading You Podcast, I’m talking about something I’m seeing everywhere right now. Not just physical busyness, but mental noise. The kind that keeps you switched on from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to sleep. The kind that slowly becomes your normal without you even realising it. Here’s the truth: being busy isn’t always the problem. Staying in that state for too long is. Drawing on my own recent experience of stepping away for a short reset in Daylesford, I share what really happens when you create space. Why clarity, energy and perspective don’t come from pushing harder. They come from stepping away. We tell ourselves we’ll slow down later. After this week. After this project. After this season. But clarity doesn’t live in the noise. And you don’t reset by doing more. Sometimes, the most strategic thing you can do is pause. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why mental noise is the real problem, not your calendar The difference between a busy season and a constant state of pressure What a small reset in Daylesford reminded me about clarity and energy Why you don’t need a big holiday. You just need intentional space. How your environment directly shapes your thinking and decision-making The one question to ask yourself when you’re running on empty Why your energy is your responsibility, not your workload’s This episode is your permission slip to rethink how you’re fuelling your energy, especially heading into the second half of the year. Because if you don’t create space intentionally, your body will eventually do it for you. And not in a way you choose.

This week on Expert, Tegan is jetting off to Italy for a beauty training program, but before she leaves, Mel shares her best tips for vintage shopping in Italy! Then it’s time for a divisive round of Win, Bin or Recycle: veneers. Are they the ultimate confidence-boosting dental upgrade, or are we heading toward a future where everyone has the same ultra-bright 'Barbie teeth'? Mel and Tegan unpack the veneer boom, what makes good veneers look natural, and when cosmetic dentistry can go very wrong. Plus, Tegan is making a very passionate case for bringing toner back into your skincare routine. Forget the harsh, stinging formulas of the early 2000s!

On this week’s episode of Uncensored, Hannah and Mel take on the skincare showdown confusing the internet: La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+ vs Avène Cicalfate Restorative Protective Cream. Mel breaks down when to use each, who they’re actually for, and why they’re not as interchangeable as TikTok might have you believe. If you’ve got sensitive, reactive, or barrier-compromised skin, this one’s essential listening. Hannah and Mel also share their personal skin barrier heroes, aka the products they reach for when their skin is one step away from a full meltdown. Then it’s time for some fangirling, because Jayde from Driven By Beauty joins the pod for a no-nonsense guide to reading skincare ingredient lists. She also weighs in on dupe culture – are cheaper alternatives ever truly the same, or are we being sold a very convincing story? And finally, Hannah and Mel put you onto two under-the-radar eye treatments they’ve both been loving from Cosmedix. If your under-eyes are tired, crepey, or just not cooperating, these might be worth adding to cart.
