"78% of salespeople miss their sales targets. That means your entire revenue forecast is riding on just 22% of your team."That's the brutal reality Matt Milligan discovered after spending years in go-to-market transformation – and it's what drove him to build Uhubs, a company that's now helping teams achieve 83% increases in revenue per head.In today's episode, I'm joined by Matt Milligan, CEO and Co-founder of Uhubs, Forbes 30 Under 30 honouree, and former professional golfer. After playing on the IGT tour in South Africa, Matt moved into consulting at EY, where he built their startup network and observed the massive gaps in how companies hire, enable, and manage their sales teams. His solution? Combine quantitative data, qualitative assessments, and call recording analysis to identify what actually separates high performers from the rest – then use AI to create roadmaps that close the gap.Together we unpack:Why relying on Salesforce dashboards alone misses the human component driving performanceHow first-time managers are the single greatest point of failure in most organisationsWhy managers spend all their time with underperformers (and how that kills your A players)The three data sources you need to truly understand what makes your best sellers greatWhy gut-feel hiring is killing your growth (and what to do instead)

In this episode, Julia speaks with Ragini Das co-founder of Leap Club, a community of over 25,000 women — about how to combine ego and empathy in leading. Ragini shares why she refuses to see ego as a “dirty word.” For her, ego is self-belief — the conviction that fuels courage, creativity, and resilience. It's what helps you dream big and keep going when the odds are against you. But she also insists that ego alone isn't enough. Without empathy, you lose connection, trust, and perspective. The conversation explores how empathy keeps people with you — as team members, collaborators, or community members — by listening, responding, and leading with honesty. Ragini reflects on moments of building and eventually pausing Leap Club, and how trust, transparency, and care shaped every decision along the way. Together, Julia and Ragini unpack what it means to lead online communities, balance ambition with compassion, and make tough calls with integrity. Ragini leaves us with a striking reminder: “Ego pushes you forward. Empathy keeps people with you.” And perhaps most powerfully — that real leading is about being ambitious not just for yourself, but for others too. About the guest: Ragini Das is the Head of Google for Startups in India and the co-founder of Leap.club, a women-first professional network that grew to over 25,000 members. She previously spent six years at Zomato leading growth and international market launches. Recognised as a LinkedIn Top Voice and Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur, Ragini is known for building communities that balance ambition with authenticity and for championing women who do the same.

Property decisions today hinge on interest rates, inflation, and housing demand — but what if the traditional signals we've all relied on no longer give the full picture?In this episode, we sit down with Alan Oster, former Chief Economist of NAB and one of Australia's most respected economic voices, to unpack what really matters in a housing market under stress.Alan explains why GDP, unemployment, and even consumer surveys can mislead investors, and why real-time banking data has changed the game. He shares stories from decades of forecasting — including times when the “headline” numbers pointed in the wrong direction — and highlights the three signals he believes are most useful for understanding where housing is headed.From the rental crisis to the impact of migration and state government land taxes, Alan dives into the structural pressures reshaping demand. He also addresses productivity stagnation, the future role of AI in jobs and housing, and why policy missteps continue to ripple through Australia's economy.Whether you're a property investor, policymaker, or simply trying to understand what's next for interest rates and housing demand, Alan offers candid insights you won't hear in the headlines.

In a shifting world order, New Zealand's foreign policy faces new tests, from Gaza to the Pacific.

Counselling, Class and Politics - Linking Theory to Practice In Episode 351 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', they explore the concept of moral injury in therapy - how it shows up in the therapy room and how to work with it ethically and compassionately. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with counselling student and writer Nell Ash, whose upcoming book addresses how class and politics influence both therapy and training. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss how to link theory to practice - bridging what you learn in the classroom with what happens in real-life therapy sessions. Moral Injury in Therapy [starts at 03:06 mins] Rory and Ken explore moral injury in therapy - a hidden, yet powerful emotional wound that often emerges in counselling work. Some main points: Moral injury occurs when individuals act in ways that go against their own values, often under pressure or in crisis. Recognised in the DSM as related to PTSD, but not considered a disorder in itself. It can originate from external impositions (e.g. institutional decisions) or internal choices that evoke shame or regret. Clients often don't present moral injury directly - it may be masked by anger, withdrawal, or self-condemnation. Therapists must use patience, trauma-informed approaches, and supervision to support clients experiencing moral injury. Key interventions include validating the experience, reframing, normalising responses, and helping clients reconnect with their values. Counselling, Class and Politics [starts at 28:27 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Nell Ash, a trainee counsellor and writer exploring class as an often-ignored factor in therapeutic work. Key points of this discussion: Nell's forthcoming book is the first since Ann Kearney's 1996 work to tackle class and politics in therapy. Class is often defined economically, but Nell argues it is deeply cultural and emotional - shaping how people relate, express, and seek support. She highlights how counselling models often reflect middle-class values, which can alienate working-class clients. The conversation critiques therapeutic "saviourism" and urges a move toward greater class awareness and inclusivity. Humour, family dynamics, and language use in working-class communities are often misunderstood or pathologised in therapy. Nell's project advocates for broader training perspectives and more accurate “mirrors” for clients from diverse class backgrounds. Linking Theory to Practice [starts at 00:55:00 mins] Rory and Ken share guidance for students working to apply counselling theory in real-life client sessions. Main points for this section: Theories offer helpful frameworks, but clients won't always present in textbook ways. True understanding of theory often deepens during and after client work - not just in the classroom. Assignments and supervision benefit from using theory as a vocabulary for reflecting on client material. Clients are not research subjects - focus on the person, not fitting them into a theoretical model. Theory should support, not override, therapeutic presence and attunement. With time and experience, theory becomes an integrated part of practice rather than a separate concept.

How media helps to shape the conversation around innovation and social good to create global impact. This week my guests are: - Pierre-Yves Lanneau Saint Léger, CEO of Forbes Luxembourg and Silicon Luxembourg - Jess Bauldry, Editor-in-Chief of Forbes Luxembourg - Genna Elvin, co-founder of Tadaweb and President of Pulse, Luxembourg's largest startup association. - Anne Goeres, founder of Philantree Why Forbes Came to Luxembourg For Pierre-Yves Lanneau Saint Léger, the arrival of Forbes in Luxembourg was a recognition that our success stories deserve a global stage. Forbes embodies the values of celebrating entrepreneurship and Luxembourg is now part of the global Forbes family (49 editions). Pierre-Yves also highlights the continuing importance of Silicon Luxembourg, launched 13 years ago as a blog and now a vibrant community of 40,000 followers. “If you create your startup, you are in Silicon; when you sell your startup, you are in Forbes,” he quipped, neatly capturing the lifecycle of highly successful entrepreneurship. Storytelling and Connection Jess Bauldry knows that in Luxembourg, connections and jobs are often fostered through in-person engagement, especially in the startup sector. “So many business deals and jobs here are still made through face-to-face encounters, not just applications.” Storytelling is business necessity. Nonetheless, Jess and her team at Forbes and Silicon Luxembourg are highly attuned to spotlighting innovators who may not be the loudest in the room but are making transformative contributions without the self-promotion. She feels it is their job to shine a spotlight on people like this, rather than the ‘same faces' constantly. Building a Startup Nation Genna Elvin has become the pin-up girl for entrepreneurial tech success in Luxembourg. From modest beginnings in Brussels to developing Tadaweb in Luxembourg, the team has grown from nothing to 150 employees, raised €40 million in capital and expanded internationally with offices in Luxembourg, Paris, London and the United States. Recognised as one of Forbes' Top 100 Female Founders in Europe, Genna now also leads Pulse, Luxembourg's largest startup association. Elvin recalled being told a decade ago that Luxembourg could never attract top talent. “That's not true,” she insisted. Instead, her company recruit globally, offering newcomers an instant community and support system. From an in-person welcome to apartments on arrival, to thoughtful gestures like helping employees navigate supermarkets,  Tadaweb put people first. “At a human level, you need to get the base right if you want to execute at a high level,” she said, referencing Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Her perspective also touched on Luxembourg's risk-averse culture, often cited as a barrier to innovation. While family-run businesses might make caution understandable, Genna knows that progress requires calculated risks. Philanthropy: Love for humanity Anne Goeres, who previously ran Luxembourg's children's cancer foundation, has now founded Philantree, an organisation designed to help businesses and families channel their wealth into meaningful impact. Goerges explained that while terms like charity, foundation or non-profit differ in structure, their essence is the same: love of humanity. “It always starts with a group of people committed to a cause,” she said, noting that even the largest organisations begin with small acts of compassion. Today, she sees a shift toward long-term partnerships rather than one-off donations. “Companies want to integrate philanthropy into their culture, aligning their values with those of their employees,” she said. This approach not only deepens impact but also helps unite generations around shared purpose. ESG: Beyond Box-Ticking Of course, philanthropy and sustainability are not immune to scepticism. Regulations can sometimes feel bureaucratic, and companies risk treating ESG commitments as box-ticking exercises. Yet Pierre-Yves and Bauldry agree that in today's job market, values-driven business is non-negotiable. Millennials and Gen Z want purposeful careers. Without them, companies will lose talent, and no amount of AI can replace that. That is why Forbes Luxembourg continues to highlight stories that blend profit with purpose.

The Gartner Market Guide provides security and risk management leaders with insights to understand the DFIR market, evaluate trends, refine requirements and identify market players. Integrity360 is listed among 40 vendors globally which, according to Gartner, best represent the DFIR market and attract the most client interest through Gartner.com searches and inquiries.

It emphasises the value of providers offering both reactive services - such as breach investigation and ransomware negotiation - and proactive measures including tabletop exercises, penetration testing and readiness assessments.

389 Identifying and Acting On Problems You Can Solve   We are surrounded by problems everyday of our lives, some manageable and others seeming too monumental to handle alone. Which is why it is so important to build a community of like minded individuals with the same goal of making a true difference.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Tessa Clarke discuss the relationship people have with stuff, food waste, and how Tessa's company Olio have been making a real difference in the face of the climate crisis.     Highlights Our relationship with objects, like clothing, that shape our identity.  What do you waste without realizing? How much do you think you throw away in a week? A month? And a year? We all need someone in our corner to help build us up and to help chart a path forward. Building community while also solving problems. Quit wishing things would be better and start making the change yourself.   Quotes “We always think the grass is greener on the other side but it never is.” “What's good for the planet is good for people and vice versa.” “It is honestly exhausting being a founder, trying to drive the change in a world that's set up not to change. So you've got to find ways to reenergize yourself and to keep going, to keep fighting every single day.” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, When you think about those 4 to 5 years that Tessa talked about and that journey of wanting to be entrepreneurial and thinking about it in terms of “what is the problem I can solve?” What is something you could start today, maybe it eventually becomes a side hustle, maybe the side hustle stays a side hustle, or maybe it turns into something more. What is a problem that you've experienced, that maybe you're the person to solve?    And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Tessa Tessa Clarke is the co-founder and CEO of Olio, the world's only neighbour-to-neighbour food-sharing app, and a trailblazing force in the fight against waste. Since launching in 2015 - and as a remote first business - Olio has grown into a global movement with 8 million users, redistributing over 100 million meals and 14 million household items, proving that small actions can drive massive change. Recognised as Veuve Clicquot's Bold Woman of the Year in 2023, Tessa is also a Sifted columnist, an Ambassador for the Better Business Act, and a member of the Small Business Growth Forum, advising the UK Government on SME concerns. With a track record of disrupting industry and mobilising communities, Tessa is a passionate speaker who inspires audiences to rethink business, sustainability, and the power of grassroots innovation. Check out Tessa's LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram! As well as her website Olio, and her TED Talk!   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Blaise Aguirre is the author of 'I Hate Myself: Overcome Self-Loathing and Realize Why You're Wrong About You'. Recognised for his extensive work in treating mood and personality disorders in adolescents, Aguirre addresses the often-ignored issue of self-hatred, explaining why common practices of "self-care" or "self-love" often fall short when self-hatred becomes part of someone's identity. Former guests Dr. Abbie Marono and Melli O'Brien shared their own stories of self-loathing.

Both campaigns were executed in close collaboration with EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, combining emotional storytelling, strategic PR, and targeted digital distribution to drive meaningful engagement and improve search performance. Shane Curtin, CEO & Founder of Vroom Digital, said, "We're incredibly proud to see these campaigns recognised on a European stage.

In this episode of Grow a Small Business, host Troy Trewin interviews Margeaux Thomas from Thomas Law Office, who shared her entrepreneurial journey of growing her law firm specialising in "business divorces". Starting from her kitchen table in 2016 with a single client, her firm has grown to a team of nine members over nine years. Thomas discussed the transition to a niche practice, the demand she experienced, particularly during COVID, and the various aspects of building and scaling her business, including the challenges of hiring and the importance of marketing in a non-recurring service industry. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? One of the hardest things in growing a small business is learning to let go and trust others. In the early stages, founders do everything themselves, but real growth requires delegation—handing off control, hiring the right people, and stepping back from daily operations to focus on strategy. As Margeaux Thomas shared on the podcast, bringing on a managing attorney and leaning into growth and marketing instead of staying in every case was a major shift. It's also tough to manage cash flow, hire well (especially for remote teams), say no to misaligned clients—which she calls "the best money we never made"—and keep believing in your vision before it becomes reality. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Margeaux Thomas mentioned that the business book that helped her the most is The Personal Assistant Advantage. It inspired her to hire a personal assistant, which turned out to be a game-changer. She shared how it helped her offload life admin tasks so she could focus on being present with her family and grow her firm—saying her assistant is better at it than she is and actually loves the work. For Margeaux, that support created space for her to lead more effectively and avoid burnout. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Margeaux Thomas shared that the most impactful learning resource for her has been business coaching—both group and one-on-one. She said it's been the best investment she's made since starting her firm. Coaching gave her clarity, accountability, and someone to help her “see around corners.” As for podcasts, she previously listened to Maximum Lawyer, especially in the early stages of growing her law firm. While that podcast has since evolved, it played a big role in her initial professional development. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Margeaux Thomas recommends having a great bookkeeper as one of the most important tools to help grow a small business. She admits that numbers and finance aren't her strength, so bringing on a solid bookkeeper early helped her stay focused on what she does best—building the business, serving clients, and leading her team. It gave her the clarity and confidence to make smarter business decisions without getting overwhelmed by the financial side. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Margeaux Thomas said if she could give herself advice on day one of starting her business, it would be to reassure herself that this is the best decision she'll ever make. Despite the fear and uncertainty she felt when leaving her job with no clients lined up, she emphasized that she never looked back and is incredibly grateful she took that leap. She'd remind herself not to catastrophize the risk—because even if it didn't work out, she could always get another job. Taking that first step was the hardest, but it led to the most rewarding journey of her life. Book a 20-minute Growth Chat with Troy Trewin to see if you qualify for our upcoming course.
