At 15, Nik Hill traded the classroom for the kitchen — and never looked back. In this candid chat with Lucy Allon, he reveals how mentorship, competitions, and mastering the fundamentals of French cuisine cooking propelled him from young apprentice to the creative force behind Sydney’s Porcine Bistro. From fine dining to smoked eels, discover the flavours, philosophies, and hard-earned lessons that define Nik’s recipe for leadership and his unique mark on the city’s dining scene. Takeaways Nik started cooking professionally at 15. The organisation and adrenaline of service in kitchens were significant motivators. Mentorship played a crucial role in Nik’s career development. Transitioning from fine dining to British pub food was a refreshing change for Nik. Nik says that focusing on cooking ‘properly’ is essential for great food. The concept of Porcine was influenced by Nik’s time at the Old Fitz pub in Sydney. Innovative use of secondary cuts and lesser-known ingredients is key. Competitions provide valuable learning experiences and mindset training. Leadership in the kitchen emphasises cooking skills over titles. Standout Quotes: "I just wanted to get out of school."

Our guest, Dr. Nathan Eva and his colleagues recently published a ground-breaking paper entitled “An Inconvenient Truth: A Comprehensive Examination of the Added Value (or Lack Thereof) of Leadership Measures”, that challenges the underpinnings on many of our industry's most popular models and development programs. Are leadership styles virtually indistinguishable? Do the associated assessments essentially measure popularity? Should we scrap these programs and focus on a handful of leadership behaviors that actually produce tangible results?
Michael and Gregg continue their conversation with Dr. Eva exploring the dramatic shifts needed in today's LD programs, the pressing need for collective leadership training and the deep-rooted propensity to lead based on how others look.

Women are too often penalised, and prevented opportunities to progress to leadership, because their boss might lead (and deliver results) in a different way to them; this is bias. In today's episode I am talking about the penalty, that women often unknowingly experience because of how their leadership style is evaluated. I am exploring:What leadership evaluation bias isHow women can be judged on HOW they deliver rather than on the result itselfThe different approach a lot of women take when it comes to data mining and decision making and how that might differ from their male stakeholdersWhat you can do if you feel like your leadership is being unfairly judgedAnd how to challenge your own leadership evaluation bias if you feel it could be holding talented women in your team backSomething Rebecca said today:"What IS performance? Is it how you deliver an outcome, or the outcome itself? Women tend to lead differently and you don't want to be penalised simply because you don't deliver results in the same way your boss might."

Lisa shares her personal journey with physician burnout, a crisis affecting 54 percent of physicians, and how discovering coaching revolutionized her approach to leadership and her career.

Lisa outlines a roadmap for physician leaders to build this culture, starting with self-awareness, mastering fundamental coaching skills, and institutionalizing coaching practices. The conversation highlights the ripple effect of coaching, extending beyond physician well-being to improve patient interactions, medical training, and even personal relationships, ultimately benefiting health care organizations through better retention and patient experience.
