We asked 800 leaders one question. What's actually hard about leadership right now?The answers were so good we decided to answer them live. No prep. No script. Em fires the questions, and I get two minutes on each.These are real questions from real leaders in our free Skool community, the No Bullsh!t Leadership Hub (https://www.skool.com/nblh).16 questions, 16 answers. And every one of them comes back to the same thing: whether your team can perform without you.If your team faced a major challenge today and you weren't available, would they solve it? If the answer is "no", the issue might not be their capability. It might be your lack of leadership.Every time you step in, you rob them of a rep they needed.In this episode:1. Are we building resilient teams, or creating dependence by stepping in too quickly?2. I've gone from leading 14 people to 70. How do I let go of work I think I need to control?3. Doing the task myself tells me if the workload griping is fair. Or am I rationalising dipping down?4. My utilisation target is 92%. How do I defend leadership time in a billable hours culture?5. Even when I'm on leave, I clear emails out of guilt. How do you actually switch off?6. If you stepped away for a week, would your team respond effectively, or fail?7. My team says green, then it's suddenly amber. How do I assess progress without micromanaging?8. We've slipped from action takers to explainers and complainers. How do I reset this?9. I was promoted from within. How do I set expectations with people who are my friends?10. One of my leaders has micromanaged staff out the door for four years. Can someone like that change?11. I had to let a new hire go and it took an emotional toll on me. Does this ever get easier?12. An employee used company systems for personal gain. The investigation will take months. What now?13. We had a death at work. What can I actually do to help my people through it?14. Do I push my team to use AI now, or wait for the tools to mature?15. Four weeks acting up. Does that deserve a pay bump, or is the opportunity enough?16. They hired an external into a role I'd been acting in. That person failed, so they've asked me to fill in again.

Through three harsh summer months this year, about 40 households across Delhi maintained a 'Garmi Khata' — a handwritten weekly log of what extreme heat did to their health, income and daily routines. That citizen documentation drive has now culminated in a formal submission to the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) in July.The submission asks the NHRC to admit the registries as evidence, formally recognise heat as a human rights concern, and fund dedicated Heat Action Plans, including national disaster status for heatwaves. This episode traces how the pilot project turned residents from subjects of a heat survey into authors of their own record, allowing them to build a case for their rights. Guests: Avinash Chanchal, Deputy Program Director (Campaigns), Greenpeace South Asia; Deepali Tonka, social work student and a person who maintained her own 'Garmi Khata'. Host: Vibha B.

In this landmark full interview, Barry Young - the senior Oracle DBA who built New Zealand's COVID pay-per-dose vaccination database - tells his complete story.Fully supportive of the rollout at the beginning, he describes how he began seeing statistically impossible clusters of deaths linked to the same sites and days, including walk-in centres across all age groups.After making a protected disclosure to Health New Zealand's executive leadership team, he faced swift retaliation: an armed police raid, physical injury, and years of legal warfare.Barry details the burying of key evidence, the Crown's refusal to show the data to the judge, the personal anguish of carrying the knowledge for years, the colossal financial incentives of $30–35 per shot, and why the case ultimately boils down to one simple question - is he a whistleblower or not?He ends with a direct appeal to Winston Peters and a message of resolve: “Either way, we're going to win.”Support FreeNZ:Substack: https://freenz.substack.com/Locals: https://freenz.locals.comBuy Me A Coffee: www.buymeacoffee.com/supportfreenzKo-fi: https://ko-fi.com/freenzhttps://freenz.carrd.coEmail: freenewzealand[at]protonmail[dot]com for bank account details.Affiliates:Dioxi Care - Chlorine Dioxide based Oral Care, Skin Care & Veterinary & Wound Care: https://frontierpharm.com/?sca_ref=9717384.brQladA5pgSnoot Spray - Chlorine Dioxide based Nasal Cleaner: https://www.snootspray.com/?sca_ref=9667634.AV2NJQvGlTBlock Blue Light - Red Light Glasses, Full Spectrum Lightbulbs & Sleep Tools to optimise your light environment and prioritise your wellbeing: https://www.blockbluelight.co.nz/?ref=FreeNZMediaWide Awake Media - Freedom T-Shirts: https://wideawake.clothing/en-nz?sca_ref=9458851.1aXfjvGDqL

What happens when encouragement becomes a leadership capability, not just a nice thing to do? According to Helen Gibson MBE, encouragement is not soft or superficial, it is where we get our courage from. Many leaders and ambitious professionals are navigating what Helen calls 'the porridge (oatmeal) of life', those thick, heavy moments where progress feels slow, energy is low, you're losing momentum, and the way forward is not always clear. In complex organisations and uncertain times, this can show up as pressure, decision fatigue, or simply feeling stuck.  This is when encouragement is needed, as something we can practise, notice, capture and offer to others, not just receive.  In this conversation with Helen Gibson MBE, award-winning global entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, coach, international business leadership expert and author of 'Go for Goosebumps', we explore how encouragement can help individuals, teams and organisations move forward through difficult moments. Helen's leadership experience spans complex transformation programmes for governments around the world, including counter-terrorism, corruption, cybercrime, health crises and justice reform. As the former CEO of her family business, she led values-driven frontline change across nearly 30 countries for clients including the UK Government, the NHS, the EU and the United Nations. Recognised with an MBE for services to international trade, Helen brings deep experience in resilience, international business, women in leadership and meaningful change. What you will learn in this episode: Why encouragement matters in leadership, especially now How experiencing goosebumps (shivers of excitement) can signal momentum What happens when we get stuck in the 'porridge (oatmeal) of life' Her traffic light model to help you know where to move forward Showing people you care before trying to prove what you know How stories and legacy questions help people reconnect with what matters What to do if you have no time for the perfect pause 'Victories folders' to help build your evidence for confidence  How leaders can best encourage themselves and others  Where are you currently walking through 'the porridge of life'? What signs of encouragement might you be missing? How could you encourage someone else this week?

For years, Australia's housing crisis has been framed as a simple supply problem: cut planning red tape, approve more developments, and housing affordability will improve. But what if we've been solving the wrong problem all along?In this episode, urban economist and town planner Tim Sneesby joins Veronica Morgan and Chris Bates to challenge one of the most widely accepted narratives in Australian property. Drawing on his experience in planning, urban economics, and public policy, Tim unpacks why planning regulations may not be the primary barrier to housing delivery. Together, they explore why more than 100,000 approved homes in New South Wales remain unbuilt, what developer feasibility has to do with housing supply, and why interest rates, financial markets, and broader economic conditions may have a far greater influence on affordability than planning reform alone.The conversation also dives into the NSW Government's planning reforms, including low and mid-rise housing policies, transport-oriented development, and the growing debate between state-led rezoning and strategic local planning. Tim explains why blanket upzoning may not deliver the housing outcomes governments are hoping for, and why infrastructure, long-term planning, and genuine affordable housing should be part of the conversation if Australia is serious about tackling its housing affordability crisis.Whether you're a property investor, home buyer, industry professional, or simply trying to make sense of Australia's housing debate, this episode offers a fresh perspective on one of the country's biggest policy challenges. If you've ever wondered why housing remains so expensive despite years of planning reform, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and help you see the bigger picture.Episode Highlights01:50 – Meet the Expert Challenging Housing Myths08:56 – What's Really Driving House Prices?16:47 – Is NIMBYism Really Blocking Housing?19:55 – A Better Alternative to Blanket Rezoning23:09 – The Affordable Housing Catch30:46 – The Truth About Infill vs Greenfield34:56 – Why Interest Rates Matter More Than Supply36:26 – What Really Drives Housing Demand?39:02 – The Hidden Labour Crisis Behind Housing43:00 – Why Equity Keeps Driving Property Prices47:06 – Why Developers Can't Build Everything49:04 – Why Approved Projects Never Get Built52:09 – Is Australia's Housing Crisis Misdiagnosed?55:49 – When Planning Reform Creates More UncertaintyAbout the GuestTim Sneesby is an urban economist, town planner, and planning policy expert with extensive experience across local government, strategic planning, and urban economics. Having worked in both the public and private sectors, Tim brings a unique perspective to Australia's housing debate, combining practical experience in development assessment with a deep understanding of the economic forces shaping cities and housing markets.Currently serving as Manager of Town Planning at a Sydney council, Tim also teaches urban economics at the University of New South Wales and the University of Sydney. Recognised as a former Australian Young Planner of the Year, he is widely respected for challenging conventional thinking around housing affordability, planning reform, and urban policy through evidence-based analysis and practical insight.Passionate about creating better cities and better housing outcomes, Tim advocates for strategic planning that balances housing supply, infrastructure, affordability, and long-term community outcomes rather than relying on simplified policy solutions.Connect with TimE-mail | Tim SneesbyResourcesVisit our website: https://www.theelephantintheroom.com.auIf you have any questions or would like to be featured on our show, contact us at:The Elephant in the Room Property Podcast - questions@theelephantintheroom.com.auLooking for a Sydney Buyers Agent? https://www.gooddeeds.com.auWork with Veronica: https://www.veronicamorgan.com.auLooking for a Mortgage Broker? alcove.com.auWork with Chris: chrisbates@alcove.com.auEnjoyed the podcast?

Emma Grede is a British serial entrepreneur, philanthropist, and mother of four. She is the Co-Founder and CEO of Good American, and a founding partner of SKIMS. Recognised for her achievements, Emma has been featured on Forbes' America's Richest Self-Made Women list. She made history as the first woman of colour to serve as a judge on ABC's Shark Tank. Emma joins Nuala McGovern to discuss her book Start With Yourself, a bold and empowering guide with advice on how women can build meaningful success on their own terms.Today the goverment will announce plans to boost support for foster carers. The aim is to encourage more people to provide homes for vulnerable children in England. It's the latest step in the government's drive to recruit an additional ten thousand foster carers, as they announced back in February. BBC's Social Affairs Editor, Alison Holt explains.At least 5,000 pregnancies a year in the UK end due to Termination for Medical Reasons, but the persistent taboo in society can mean that families keep it secret, in fear of other people's reactions. The stigma and silence around it mean people can feel incredibly alone in their grief and often feel excluded from the wider baby loss community, increasing their sense of isolation. July is Bereaved Parents' Awareness Month and to discuss this issue, Nuala talks to a grief coach and bereaved mother, Tanya Wilkinson and to Tommy's Co Midwifery Manager, Amina Hatia.What do you do with your wedding and or engagement rings after divorce? It's been reported that a growing number are said to be turning them into something entirely new. The so-called "divorce ring" trend is seeing women reset engagement diamonds into bold pieces that symbolise independence and a fresh start. So what's driving the trend, and what does it tell us about the changing meaning of jewellery after marriage? Nuala is joined by gemmologist and jewellery expert, Helen Dimmock and author and jewellery historian Rachel Church, to discuss.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Simon Richardson

Irene F. Lefton is an author, Customer Success strategist, and longtime advocate for the voice of the customer. Recognised multiple times as a Top 100 Customer Success Strategist, she has built and led global professional services, support, and customer success teams across the US, Europe, and Asia — spanning industries, business models, and companies of all sizes. Her career has been driven by a simple belief: that centring the customer is not just the right thing to do, it’s good business. Today, she speaks, advises, and consults with companies on improving results through outstanding customer experience, including the thoughtful use of AI. She holds a degree in Economics and an MBA from the University of New Mexico. Irene grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and now lives in the Silicon Valley area of California. She is semi-retired but very much still engaged — writing, speaking at conferences, mentoring professionals at all career stages, and doing selective consulting with early-stage companies. She serves on the boards of two nonprofits, where she leads initiatives focused on community engagement. When she’s not working, you’ll find Irene cooking, attending the theatre, and spending time with friends and family. She travels whenever possible — for concerts, new places, and the people she loves. She is, at heart, a curious lifelong learner who enjoys sharing hard-earned wisdom. Who Speaks for the Customer? In this episode, Irene F. Lefton talks about her book “Who Speaks for the Customer? Improving Results within a Customer Centric Network”. Irene believes that fundamental human connectivity and human attention to customers remain critical even as technology progresses. While every organisation claims that they are customer-centric, the truth is that real customers who deal with them most often do not feel so. The outsider looking in view is therefore very important for companies to get a feel of the customer requirements. New departments such as “customer success” do spell progress, but the field has not matured enough, and the right metrics to measure customer success have not been implemented yet. Cultural differences, generational differences and large customer bases make it difficult to cater to everyone with the same messaging, and often companies find it difficult to make the right choices in terms of which requirement becomes critical. This applies even more when the business is scaling, as well as when customers are scaling, leading to shifting goalposts on both sides. While AI can help in aggregating and analysing diverse data, it still takes a human to understand which data is relevant and what to do with the data. New roles such as “Forward Deployed Engineers” are fulfilling that role, leveraging their deeper understanding of the customer voice along with their technical knowledge of AI.

In this edition of Middle East Matters, Nadia Massih is pleased to welcome our Jerusalem correspondent Noga Tarnopolsky as well as Amberin Zaman, chief correspondent for Al Monitor, a Washington-based independent news organisation that covers the Middle East and North Africa. Zaman argues that Israel's apparent recognition of the Armenian genocide is less a principled historical reckoning than a "nakedly cynical" strategy shaped by the Gaza war, tensions with Turkey and shifting regional alliances.

He is focused on enabling organisations that rely on freelancers, contractors, and contingent workers to better retain, engage, and protect their flexible talent through modern benefits and workforce infrastructure. Alongside PORTABL, Mike is a growth advisor to a range of businesses and passion projects. He also works on building access to global AI, software, and tech talent, including developing pathways for distributed freelance talent in emerging markets such as Ghana, aligned to global time zones for remote delivery. PORTABL is a SaaS platform and orchestration layer for the flexible workforce, designed to close the gap between traditional employees and independent workers. While permanent employees typically receive structured benefits such as health cover, pensions, and wellbeing support, freelancers and contractors often do not. PORTABL addresses this by providing access to health, insurance, financial wellbeing, and savings products, alongside tools that help businesses improve retention, engagement, and compliance across their contingent workforce. Recognised by organisations including Zurich Innovation, the MetLife Techstars Digital Accelerator, and Plug and Play, PORTABL is building a new category in the future of work. It is founded by a team with deep experience across freelancing, insurance, employee benefits, fintech, and B2B platforms, and is built by independent workers for independent workers to help them connect, stay protected, and thrive. You'll hear practical strategies for starting an HR consulting business, finding consulting clients, and business growth strategies for consultants. Whether you identify as HR, workplace, L&D, OD, recruitment, or people & culture, you'll discover real stories and actionable advice to attract clients, win contracts, and grow sustainably. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Lessons from moving out of corporate and launching an HR-related business. The unique challenges and opportunities of supporting freelancers, gig workers, and consultants. How to validate new consulting and HR tech ideas with real market feedback. Episode highlights: Mike's background in investment banking, his transition to entrepreneurship, and writing his book, “Follow Me Out the Door”. The problems faced by freelancers and the inspiration behind founding PORTABL. How PORTABL delivers employee-style benefits to independent workers, and how the model works. The bulk buying/group buying power of the platform and how it benefits users. Validation of the business concept through over a thousand one-to-one conversations with freelancers. Challenges of building a marketplace for diverse types of independent workers. The business model: B2B2C (working through coworking spaces, associations, etc.). Marketing and growth: targeting both organizations and end users, go-to-market strategies, and the challenge of telling the story to multiple audiences. Attracting investment: The story of connecting with investors and how AI-powered networking led to a partnership with Alligator, a leading HR tech investor. Advice for other HR tech founders: the importance of resilience, community, and persistence. The significance of community for independent workers and how to find support networks. Marketing and Business Growth: Mike explains that PORTABL's business model is B2B2C, meaning it reaches freelancers via organizations such as coworking spaces, business teams, or industry associations. Marketing efforts focus on educating both the organizations providing access to freelancers and the individuals who will use the platform. Mike notes the complexity of storytelling when there are multiple audiences and highlights the importance of focus and segmentation for early growth. PORTABL is currently concentrating on launches in the UK and Ireland, with plans for expansion into Germany and further afield. Building partnerships, leveraging AI-powered tools for investor connections, and forming a community around the platform are key elements of their growth strategy Resources & Links Mentioned: Company's website: www.portabl.co Mike's LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/mikeminett Check out this B2B podcast launch service.

Hard to talk aerial surfing, these days, without coughing up the name Hughie Vaughan. Harder still to believe he's only 19 years old. He's really taken flight, if you will, over the past few years. The original seed for the Bottle Rockets division. Entered Stab High Lakey Peak as a tiny 15-year-old and levitated around the comp-site like a garden bird. Proved he could hang with fully grown men despite weighing the same as a damp towel. Couple years later, Japan 2025, Hughie comes of age and wins the men's title, a spear tackle from Mikey Wright to seal it. Then: the Hughie Flip at The Nines, reshared and baptised by Tony Hawk. Mainstream television appearances in Australia followed; Hughie now a nationally recognised flying object. A day out from the opening horn of Stab High Virginia Beach presented by Monster Energy, and we get the former champ and in many circles, the overwhelming favourite, Hughie Vaughan. He discusses all there is to discuss about aerial surfing, including his current top air guys on earth, what he sees as the limitations of competitive surfing, and a genuinely moving section on family and the lessons left behind by his late mother.

In this episode of Work with Purpose, host Louise MacDonald, managing partner, at EY, Canberra speaks with Kirsty Kirk, director of Leadership Programs at Services Australia, and Ken Walker, national manager, Emergency Response at Services Australia, about Services Australia's Service Delivery Immersion Program. The program gives SES leaders and policy partners firsthand insight into how decisions, systems and policies land for staff and customers. By spending time in service centres and call environments, leaders see the complexity of frontline work, the needs of vulnerable customers, and the opportunities to make services simpler and more effective.Recognised through the IPAA ACT Spirit of Service Awards, the program has expanded across government and is helping build more empathetic, customer-centred leadership.Key tips:1. Stay close to the people your work affects. Regularly step away from the desk to observe services, speak with communities, and see firsthand how policies and programs land in real life.2. Design and decide from the user's perspective. Ask, “What does this feel like for the person on the receiving end?”. Aim for interactions that are simple, human, and seamless.3. Treat frontline staff as partners, not endpoints. Involve the people who deliver services in shaping policy, programs and systems. Listen to their insights, act on what you hear, and keep feedback loops open.4. Lead with curiosity and empathy. Frontline immersion helps leaders better understand customer complexity, staff pressures, and the human impact of their decisions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the final episode of the series on Grandmotherness, Julia speaks with Melissa about how this stage of life reshapes the way we let go, think long-term, and lead beyond our own agenda. Melissa begins by drawing a distinction between motherness and grandmotherness. While both are rooted in care, investment, and hope, grandmotherness introduces a different quality — love with less attachment to outcomes. It is about offering support, guidance, and encouragement, while trusting that things will unfold as they will. The conversation explores how this shift changes the experience of leading. Moving from structured roles to community-based work, Melissa reflects on how grandmotherness allows for a more emergent, less controlled way of leading — one that is not driven by fixed plans or measurable outcomes, but by openness and trust in the process. A central theme in the episode is letting go. From succession to influence, Melissa speaks about the challenge of stepping back — becoming less central, less visible, and allowing others to take ownership. True continuity, she suggests, comes when leadership does not depend on one person, but carries on seamlessly. They also reflect on the importance of thinking beyond immediate results. Grandmotherness invites a longer horizon — planting seeds for futures we may never see, and making decisions that are not centred on personal recognition or short-term success. The conversation touches on the risks of leading without this mindset — from creating overly compliant environments to becoming disconnected from reality. In contrast, grandmotherness encourages a way of leading that is grounded, observant, and quietly influential. Storytelling also emerges as an important thread. Grandmotherness is not about romanticising the past, but about holding and sharing stories honestly — including difficulty, struggle, and identity — so that others can understand where they come from and where they might go. This episode is a reminder that leading is not always about doing more or holding on tighter. Sometimes, it is about stepping back, letting go, and trusting that what you have helped build will continue beyond you.

Scientology is often called the ‘celebrity religion’, popularised by names like Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Nancy Cartwright.

This move has to be seen as part of a wider attempt by imperialism to outflank the Axis of Resistance. Protestors in Mogadishu wave Somali and Palestinian flags as they denounce Israel's announcement recognising the breakaway Somaliland region and call for the territorial unity of Somalia. Meanwhile, no amount of ‘strategic planning' by the think tank-ocracy can wish away the growing resilience and determination of the various national-liberation forces which collectively form the middle-eastern Axis of Resistance, with Iran and Yemen at its core, and backed by the growing economic might and military prowess of China and Russia.
