Chartered town planner and urban designer George Weeks joins Elevate to unpack what “good density” actually looks like here in Aotearoa, and why the 5-minute pint test might be the simplest measure of liveability we've ever heard. George shares why density only works when you make the daily stuff easy: milk, a beer, a café, a park, within a short stroll from your front door. We dig into what NZ's getting right already (Point Chev, Christchurch terraces, Hobsonville), and what still needs work, like acoustic standards still stuck in the 1950s.You'll hear why the City Rail Link won't just shorten trips, it'll act like a “fountain of pedestrians” that shifts demand, value and development patterns around key stations. George breaks down why good streets are tree-lined, human-scaled and well-lit, and how developers can build projects that feel more like neighbourhoods and less like dense sprawl. If you're a builder or developer thinking about townhouses, walk-ups or mixed-use in any NZ city, this episode gives you a clear and practical playbook for density done right.Where else you can find usWebsite: https://www.masterbuilder.org.nz/Elevate Platform: http://elevate.masterbuilder.org.nzInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/masterbuildernz/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/registeredmasterbuildersYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmh_9vl0pFf0zSB6N7RrVeg

Sanjay took care of the technical aspects of the program.Hi: टीम के सहयोग से काम में तेजी आई और सब कुछ सही दिशा में चलने लगा।En: With the team's cooperation, the work picked up speed, and everything started moving in the right direction.Hi: लेकिन कार्यक्रम के दिन, जब सब कुछ सही तरीके से चल रहा था, तभी प्रस्तुति की तकनीकी व्यवस्था में एक गंभीर समस्या आ गई।En: But on the day of the program, when everything was going well, a serious issue arose in the technical setup of the presentation.Hi: स्क्रीन पर प्रोजेक्टर काम नहीं कर रहा था।En: The projector screen wasn't working.Hi: रोहन के लिए यह एक बड़ा झटका था लेकिन उसने धैर्य नहीं खोया।En: This was a big setback for Rohan, but he didn't lose patience.Hi: उसने तुरंत एक वैकल्पिक योजना तैयार की और अनिका और संजय की मदद ली।En: He quickly prepared an alternative plan and took help from Anika and Sanjay.Hi: कुछ देर की हलचल के बाद, प्रस्तुति एक बार फिर से पटरी पर आ गई।En: After a little commotion, the presentation was back on track.Hi: कार्यक्रम की शुरुआत में आई बाधाएं अब प्रस्तुति को और भी अधिक रोचक बना रही थीं।En: The obstacles faced at the beginning of the program were now making the presentation even more interesting.Hi: रोहन की नेतृत्व क्षमता और उसकी टीम का कठिन परिश्रम रंग लाया।En: Rohan's leadership skills and his team's hard work paid off.Hi: सभी दर्शकों ने प्रस्तुति की सराहना की और रोहन को उसकी नेतृत्व क्षमता के लिए प्रशंसा मिली।En: All the audience appreciated the presentation, and Rohan received praise for his leadership ability.Hi: कार्यक्रम के अंत में अपने सहयोगियों और वरिष्ठों के बीच खड़ा रहकर, रोहन ने महसूस किया कि सफलता अकेले नहीं बल्कि टीम के साथ मिलकर हासिल होती है।En: Standing among his colleagues and seniors at the end of the program, Rohan realized that success is achieved not alone but by working together as a team.Hi: उसकी समझ में आ गया था कि शेयर किया हुआ संतोष व्यक्तिगत सफलता से कहीं अधिक संतोषजनक होता है।En: He understood that shared satisfaction is much more fulfilling than individual success.Hi: वह अब आत्मविश्वास से भरा था और उसे अपने नेतृत्व में एक नई दिशा दिखी थी।En: He was now filled with confidence and saw a new direction in his leadership.Hi: इस दिवाली के उत्सव के साथ ही, रोहन ने न केवल एक शानदार प्रस्तुति दी, बल्कि अपने भीतर छिपी नेतृत्व क्षमता को भी पहचाना और अपने सपनों की ओर एक और कदम बढ़ाया।En: With this Diwali celebration, Rohan not only delivered an outstanding presentation but

What if the toughest conversation on your calendar is the very thing that unlocks respect, growth, and retention? We sit down with leadership expert and best-selling author Jeff Hancher to demystify feedback and turn a dreaded chore into a repeatable system for building high-trust, high-performance teams.Jeff shares a clear framework for setting expectations and choosing the right feedback style for the moment: directive when safety or standards are on the line, collaborative when you need ownership from a seasoned pro, and supportive when a proven performer hits a dip. We talk through common blockers—fear of fallout, emotional reactions, and not knowing how to start—and replace them with practical language leaders can use today. You'll hear how to earn the right to be candid through steady “deposits,” why annual reviews create blind spots, and how weekly one-on-ones become the engine of engagement.Along the way, Jeff's personal story shows the power of firm feedback delivered with care. A manager who held the line and held space changed his trajectory—and his loyalty—forever. We explore how to move from people pleasing to respect, how to ask questions that reveal self-awareness, and why withholding feedback is unfair to the person and the business. Expect simple phrases, a cadence you can sustain all year, and a playbook for confident, compassionate conversations that actually change behavior.Ready to trade avoidance for impact? Press play, then share this episode with a leader who avoids tough talks. If it resonated, follow the show, leave a quick review, and tell us which feedback style you'll try first. Your team will thank you.

Part 2 of 2 “Ego, Errors, and the Truth About Just Culture” | Mandy Hickson  If fighter pilots can admit mistakes under missile fire, why do business leaders still hide their errors behind ego and politics? Episode Summary What does it take to lead with radical honesty when lives are on the line? In Part 2 of my conversation with Mandy Hickson, one of the first female fast-jet pilots in the RAF, we go deeper into the psychology of Just Culture, emotional maturity, and decision-making under extreme pressure. From life-or-death choices in combat to creating psychological safety in the boardroom, Mandy shows how leadership collapses without trust, accountability, and the courage to say, “I don't know.” Her insights dismantle the illusion of ego-driven authority and challenge leaders to build cultures where truth and responsibility aren't optional—they are non-negotiable.  What You'll Learn How emotional maturity can make or break culture—even more than technical brilliance.  Why “Just Culture” isn't about avoiding blame, but about embracing accountability without fear.  The exact decision-making framework fighter pilots use when missiles are inbound—and how leaders can apply it in crises.  Why healthy conflict builds stronger teams, while fake harmony destroys them.  How to spot when ego is killing leadership—and what courage looks like when you admit you're not the most qualified in the room.  Why building psychological safety means expecting people to challenge authority, not stay silent.  About Mandy Hickson Mandy Hickson became the first woman to fly the Tornado GR4 on the front line, flying 45 combat missions over Iraq. She is now a bestselling author (An Officer, Not a Gentleman), aviation ambassador, and internationally recognized speaker, teaching organizations how to translate cockpit-tested lessons of trust and resilience into real-world leadership cultures.
