This is a must-listen episode - compelling, confronting, and deeply necessary. In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Vanessa Vershaw, a workplace psychologist and trusted advisor to executives and decision-makers across ASX 20 and Fortune 100 companies. Vanessa is a fierce advocate for gender equality and social justice, recently representing the APAC region at the 2025 World Woman Foundation in Davos, and recipient of the Momentum Trailblazer of the Year Award. Together, we unpack the uncomfortable and often silenced issue of workplace bullying —particularly the kind that exists between women. Vanessa brings real insight into why bullying thrives even in the most progressive organisations, how silence and systems protect harmful behaviour, and what leaders must do to stop enabling it. If you care about culture, integrity, and psychological safety in the workplace—you need to hear this. What We Cover in This Episode What workplace bullying really looks like today – beyond the obvious Why bullying is often ignored, minimised, or denied by senior leaders How HR processes can retraumatise instead of protect The emotional cost of staying silent vs. speaking up Why high-performing environments aren’t always safe environments The difference between performative leadership and real accountability What true leadership looks like when the stakes are high Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction02:15 – Vanessa’s journey and global impact06:30 – What workplace bullying looks like today12:00 – Power, silence, and systemic issues18:40 – When HR protects the system, not the people25:00 – The cost of speaking up33:00 – What real leadership and accountability require42:15 – Final reflections If this episode stirred something in you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

Brynn has a background in strategic HR, technology, and leadership, with a 16+ year track record of helping enable organizations to thrive by catalyzing disruption into opportunity, transforming challenges into innovation, and partnering with leaders to craft change that blossoms. During the conversation, Jessica and Brynn discussed change agility and why it's a critical skill to build into organizations.

The future is change, and it will only get faster.” Highlights from the conversation include: ☑️ A deep dive into where HR teams can upskill from a change management perspective to meet the needs of this new era and bring more value to their organization ☑️ How HR teams can leverage employee stories and case studies to highlight how they mitigated risks during change in the absence of numerical data ☑️ The two skills Brynn believes sit adjacent to change management that can help HR professionals succeed in this era (and how they will also benefit them in their personal lives) If you want to learn more about Change HR and the future of change management for HR professionals, be sure to tune in and hear what Brynn has to say!
