As customer violence against Queensland retail and fast-food workers skyrockets - with assaults jumping from 8% to 26% over six years - SDA State Secretary Justin Power and Jason Matthews on 4BC Breakfast are calling out the state government for failing to introduce workplace protection orders. Despite proven success in the ACT where similar laws dropped Woolworths store violence by 92%, Queensland remains the sole state holdout, leaving vulnerable young employees facing daily abuse and permanent psychological trauma ahead of the Christmas rush.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Anglo American's interims dazzled - earnings up 35%, free cash flow up nearly 150%, the dividend all but tripled. But BizNews editor Alec Hogg looks past the headline to what Anglo's walking away from: steelmaking coal sold, De Beers going for a tenth of what it paid, and a Teck merger that moves the head office to Vancouver. A 109-year-old Johannesburg company is quietly leaving. He pairs that with Old Mutual's finding that half of working South Africans now gamble - the sharp end of a two-speed nation. Plus ArcelorMittal, Reinet, Woolworths, a post-Fed bond rout, and the great Microsoft-Meta AI tension.

If you or someone you know is on a GLP-1 medication like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro and the results have plateaued, or the weight is starting to creep back, this episode has the explanation you have been looking for and it is probably not what your doctor told you. This week Susie breaks down exactly why these medications stop working for so many people, what is actually going wrong metabolically, and what to do about it instead of just increasing the dose. Then Leanne takes over for a genuinely useful segment on the Coles and Woolworths home brand products both dietitians buy every single week, which ones are just as good as the branded version, and which ones they would never swap out. In this episode: Why GLP-1 medications like Mounjaro, Ozempic, and Wegovy stop working: the two metabolic patterns Susie sees most commonly in her clients, and why increasing the dose is often exactly the wrong response Why dramatically reducing calorie intake without addressing muscle mass and exercise will always lead to a plateau, and the counterintuitive reason why eating a little more and reducing the dose can actually restart results Why muscular, active women are particularly vulnerable to GLP-1 plateaus, and how being in carbohydrate no man's land sabotages fat burning even when the medication is working properly Why these medications should never be given without dietitian support, and what to actually focus on if you want to come off them eventually without regaining the weight The Coles and Woolworths home brand products Leanne and Susie buy every single week without hesitation: rolled oats, canned legumes, passata, frozen vegetables, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, chicken breast bites, marinated chicken, and more. Specific product names, aisle locations, and honest reasons why Why the Coles Kitchen frozen grilled vegetables and the Woolworths chicken breast bites are non-negotiables in both shopping trolleys, and the specific products in the Coles Perform and Coles Kitchen ranges that keep making it back onto the list The Aldi Gourmet Protein Bar reviewed: 10 grams of protein, 37% nuts and seeds, less than a dollar per bar, and a price-per-protein calculation that puts most supermarket bars to shame. What the ingredient list actually contains and who this bar is genuinely suited to Continuous glucose monitors: who actually needs one, why Leanne and Susie have both turned down paid partnerships with CGM companies, and the specific situations where they might genuinely be useful versus where they are more likely to create unnecessary food fear See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Activities like pony club, showjumping and eventing were not on Shannen Llewelleyn's radar during her teen years on the NSW Central Coast. That's not to say she didn't like horses. In fact the idea of buying herself a suitable steed one day had crossed her mind more than once. A job at a local Woolworths Supermarket allowed Shannen to save diligently, and it wasn't long before she had enough spare cash to buy the horse of her dreams. That horse turned out to be a standardbred who'd never made it to the racetrack. She named him “Shadow” and began the slow, tedious process of teaching herself to ride from scratch. Not surprisingly there were a few anxious moments. Memories of old “Shadow” are beginning to fade these days as she boots home winner after winner on NSW racetracks- 150 winners in fact since March of 2024. Shannen joins us on the podcast to talk about her rapid rise. She begins by talking about her recent transition to metropolitan racing. Shannen talks about the crowded lady jockey's rooms these days in and out of the city.  The 24 year old talks about her early upbringing at Lismore and the family's relocation to the Central Coast eleven years ago. She talks of her scholarly attributes. Shannen says she moved back to Lismore for a while and began her working life with Woolworths.  When the time came to rejoin her mother and sister, she was fortunate to gain a transfer to a Central Coast Woolworths store. At age 19 she purchased her own horse. Shannen later sought a second job with hours to fit in with her Woolworths commitment. That job happened to be with a thoroughbred operation run by a master horseman.The journey had begun. She says a short stint followed with Wyong trainer Kim Waugh which led to an offer from leading Western Districts trainer Brett Robb. Shannen says she rode in almost 40 barrier trials before applying for a licence to ride in races. The process seemed to take forever. She looks back on her very first race ride at Dubbo, and admits she got a scare when the horse “bucked” out of the gates. The young jockey was thrilled to win at her 5th race ride on Dubbo favourite Elson Boy from the Dar Lunn stable. Shannen couldn't believe her luck when she rode another winner just two days later. She rode for just four months of her first season in the saddle, and couldn't believe the winning run that came her way. Shannen talks about the offer she received from trainer Jane Clement which saw her move to Bendemeer near Tamworth. She loved the experience. She talks of a Parkes Cup win last year on veteran galloper Knife's Edge.  Shannen talks of her move to the Nathan Doyle stable at Newcastle a year ago. She acknowledges the horses to give her seven metropolitan wins so far. The jockey says her weight is giving her no problems at this stage of her career. Shannen makes special mention of her favourite horse to this point in time.  She talks of devoted mum Danielle and older sister Lakisha. Shannen admits to being overwhelmed by the good fortune to come her way in such a short time.

Vandita Pant is the Chief Financial Officer of BHP, one of the world's largest resources companies, with a market capitalisation of approximately US$150 billion and annual revenue of around US$55 billion. This is Vandita's first-ever podcast interview. Growing up in Delhi, India in a family of academics, Vandita reflects on her childhood dinner table debates, teachers and love of books for shaping the curiosity that has defined her career. After studying at Shri Ram College and IIM Lucknow, she built a global career across India, Singapore, Japan and the UK before joining BHP, where she now helps oversee the financial strategy of a company at the centre of AI, electrification and the energy transition. In this conversation, Vandita shares why she deliberately pursued unfamiliar challenges, the career setback that unexpectedly led her into risk management, what it was like helping steer RBS through the Global Financial Crisis, the leadership lessons from earning trust in Japan, why she believes the modern CFO is a value creator rather than a scorekeeper, how she thinks about AI and capital allocation, and why Australia and India have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deepen their economic partnership.

When you pick up a product at the supermarket, you trust what's written on the label.So, when it says an ingredient was sourced in Australia, why wouldn't you believe it?Today, Adele Ferguson on her exclusive Four Corners investigation into the food fraud hiding in plain sight. Featured:  Adele Ferguson, Investigative reporter at ABC's Four Corners 

Bundaberg farmer Judy Plath joined Jason Matthews on 4BC Breakfast to exposes the harsh reality of "farmer inflation," revealing how skyrocketing fertiliser and fuel costs - compounded by heavy red tape - are pushing Australian growers to the brink of collapse. She raised deep scepticism over supermarket price relief offers, cautioning that mislabelled foreign imports and supermarket squeeze tactics threaten the future of locally grown produce.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Woolworths says it donated the equivalent of ten million meals to food rescue organisations in the last financial year. It says every one of its 185 New Zealand stores has at least one food rescue partner. It comes as the Green Party wants to make it compulsary for supermarkets to donate edible surplus kai. Woolworth's head of Sustainability Catherine Langabeer spoke to Lisa Owen.

Send us Fan MailA winemaker gets cut, a flagship winery gets prepped for sale, and suddenly we are not talking about tasting notes anymore. We dig into the Oakridge bombshell: David Bicknell, the winemaker many credit with changing the direction of Australian Chardonnay, is made redundant after decades shaping the Yarra Valley's most influential single-vineyard wines. The language around it matters, the emotion is real, and the business logic is confronting.From there we zoom out into the Australian wine industry crisis and the structures that helped create it. We talk Endeavour Group, Dan Murphy's, BWS, Woolworths, Coles, and the retail duopoly that has both selling power and buying power. We unpack “ghost brands”, why shelf space is everything, and how vertical integration can turn a product built on provenance and story into a price-led commodity. We also revisit the political side: ACCC scrutiny, Senate inquiry warnings, and how quickly important reform can disappear when the spotlight moves on.We do not pretend there is one simple fix, but we do land on practical actions for drinkers who want better wine and a healthier industry: check the back label, understand who is importing and controlling the brand, and buy direct from small producers when you can.

Most people have no idea what actually happens to body fat when they lose it. They assume it is sweated out, burned off somehow, or just disappears. The real answer is both surprising and genuinely fascinating, and it changes how you think about fat loss entirely. This week Leanne and Susie open with the science behind what actually happens to fat cells when you lose weight, why fat cells shrink rather than disappear, and what that means for keeping weight off long term. Then they get into the practical stuff: their best tricks for avoiding that slow winter weight creep that catches so many people out between June and August. In this episode: The surprising science of fat loss: where body fat actually goes when you lose it, why the answer involves your lungs and not your sweat glands, and what happens to fat cells after you lose weight that makes maintaining that loss genuinely harder than most people realise Why fat cells shrink rather than disappear, what that means for long-term weight management, and why working with a dietitian to maintain weight loss is often more important than working with one to lose it The winter weight gain conversation: why it happens, why exercise drops off before food quality does, and the three practical strategies Leanne and Susie use with clients every winter to come out the other side feeling good in their clothes Why a hot lunch makes more difference to afternoon cravings than most people expect, the slow cooker approach to packing in protein and vegetables without giving up comfort food, and the specific swaps that lighten up winter favourites without removing the enjoyment The new Moccona Protein Latte Coffee from Woolworths: 10 grams of protein, $10 for eight serves, bovine collagen as the first ingredient. What Leanne and Susie actually think, who it is and is not for, and the important protein quality point about collagen that most people buying this have not considered Why making your coffee on dairy or soy milk at home gives you a comparable amount of protein with significantly less processing, and why the caffeine content of this product is lower than most people would expect The oxalate question answered plainly: do oxalates in spinach and leafy greens actually block iron absorption, should you be avoiding them with iron-rich meals, and the only situation where oxalates genuinely warrant attention in your dietSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Plus, they debate iced-coffee surcharges, self-checkouts, Melbourne versus Brisbane food, death-row meals and whether a Zinger Box is worthy of being someone's final meal.Trent also opens up about preparing to become a father, the pressure of buying the perfect pram and why he only wants the good brands when accepting baby hand-me-downs.It's an episode packed with workplace stories, creator advice, food confessions and plenty of moments where Emily unexpectedly takes control of the podcast.Thanks to Royal Stacks for sponsoring the podcast.

1976. You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs.Well, silly or not, the charts of this fascinating year were full of big, big hits. Crowdpleasers, I hear you cry? Well, whatever way you view 1976, and many so-called rock journos and hacks would do so rather disdainfully, the twelve months bookended by number ones by Queen and Johnny Mathis (!) were certainly colourful and (checks notes for suitable adjective) erm, eclectic. Whilst certain history threads (I'm looking at you again Channel 5) will tell you that everyone was embracing bondage trousers, safety pins and other overused punk stereotypes, the truth was that the cash registers at Woolworths were ringing to the sounds of everything from the Greek smock admirer Demis Roussos, Dutch fairground dwelling country swingers Pussycat and those loveable Rock and Roll revivalists and brothel creeper wearing funsters Showaddywaddy.And the biggest selling single of the year - well that would be the Brotherhood of Man's lip smacking shoe shuffler and Eurovision winning rocket.Yes, punk would no doubt influence the coming years of popular culture, but not whilst The Wurzels were ploughing the pop fields of '76.The world of compilations was shifting up a gear too as the album charts saw TV advertising become a major factor in changing the landscape of big sellers with huge number one sellers from the kids favourites Slim Whitman, Bert Weedon, Glen Campbell and The Beach Boys, who remained at number one for ten consecutive weeks through that Hot, Hot, Hot summer of 1976. Good vibrations indeed!And in the jet-pack future of the 21st Century, how much fun does 1976 look? Well, pop kids, let the Guardian's head rock and pop critic Alexis Petridis and author Ian Wade guide you through it courtesy of the spanking NOW Yearbook 1976.The emergence of the stadium rock, pop sound10cc inventing Paranoid AndroidGuilty Pleasures (or not!)The wonderfully weird world of FoxDisco - hello!And along the way, rediscover the shimmering sounds that kept us sane through the heatwave, explore how CB radio (and questionable radio 1 DJs, mate) became a real thing (but not by The Real Thing), consider what Cliff Richard and Lou Reed may have discussed in Studio 54, which single was Wadey's first, which artist's concert Alexis was joined by Johnny Trunk at, the story of Ruby Flipper and the Blue Peter garden, which acts not to get stuck in a lift with and why David Dundas is not struggling to find funds for his next pair of jeans.Confused? Lost? Over-stimulated? You're in great pop company then in 1976. And we wouldn't have it any other way.Whether you were there or are rediscovering this amazing pop year for the first time, grab a cool drink, and jump onboard. Hosted on Acast.

Host Trent Fleskens speaks with Byford agent Sean Dunn about why Byford is a “canary in the coal mine” as Perth's market shifts from aggressive growth to a more defensive phase. They discuss Byford's new train station and expanding amenities (Coles, Woolworths, Aldi, cafes) alongside its mix of older large rural-residential blocks and newer estates. Against rising Perth listings, fewer transactions, and longer days on market, Dunn describes a sharp slowdown in Byford: home opens falling from 10–15 groups to 1–3, fewer multiple offers, and harder negotiations as sellers cling to last year's expectations. He cites a recent 4x2 dropping from $860k to high-$700k offers, driven by reduced investor urgency after the budget and interest-rate sensitivity among high-LVR buyers. Dunn expects Byford's median to move from about $850k to around $800k over 12 months.

A coroner's inquest has heard that LynnMall attacker Ahamed Samsudeen became fixated with his lawyer and ended up stalking her in the lead up to his stabbing spree at a West Auckland supermarket. Samsudeen was shot dead by police after his attack at a Woolworths in 2021. Part of the inquiry is looking at whether Samsudeen's attitude towards women could have raised red flags about his risk to others. Finn Blackwell reports.

If you have taken iron supplements for months and your ferritin still is not coming up, there is a physiological reason for that. And it is not your fault. A study published in The Lancet Haematology found that taking iron supplements on consecutive days actually blocks absorption due to a hormone called hepcidin, and that alternate-day dosing improved iron uptake by 40 to 50%. This is one of the most practically useful pieces of research the show has covered, and Leanne and Susie break it down clearly so you know exactly what to do differently. This week also includes a straight-talking collagen segment, the fibre maxing trend assessed honestly, and a review of the new Woolworths high-protein meal range. In this episode: The fibre maxing trend on TikTok and Instagram: why Leanne and Susie actually support the idea, what most people get wrong about increasing fibre too quickly, and why processed fibre from bars and wraps is not the same as fibre from whole foods Why consistency with fibre matters more than volume, what happens to your gut during travel and weekend eating, and the three things that need to work together for good digestive health The Lancet Haematology iron absorption study: what hepcidin is, why it blocks iron absorption for 24 hours after a high dose, and why taking iron every day may actually be preventing your levels from improving Why alternate-day iron supplementation improved absorption by 40 to 50% compared to daily dosing, and the practical implication for how much to take and when Whether an iron infusion is still preferable for people who struggle with oral supplements, why follow-up blood tests are essential, and the one mistake Leanne sees women make once they start feeling slightly better The new Woolworths Teriyaki Chicken Bowl reviewed: 35 grams of protein at $12, brown rice, edamame, and quinoa, what a client who tried it actually said, and whether frozen meals might genuinely be the better option in this category The collagen evidence honestly assessed: what the research actually shows for skin, joints, and wrinkle depth, why you need to take it daily for 8 to 12 weeks to see results, and the specific trademarked peptide called Verisol that has the most clinical research behind it Why marine collagen is not superior to bovine collagen despite what you have seen online, how much you need for skin versus joint health, and why some brands charging $80 to $90 are not giving you anything better than a well-formulated $37 option See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vanessa Vongsouthi, Research Founder and Head of Bioengineering at Samsara Eco, joins host Erum on the Grow Everything Podcast to discuss how engineered enzymes and AI are making it possible to recycle textiles and plastics repeatedly. Vanessa explains how Samsara uses AI-assisted protein design and ancestral sequence reconstruction to create enzymes that break down complex polymers, including Nylon 6,6, into their original chemical building blocks. Those materials can then be returned to existing supply chains and used to create virgin-equivalent products that are indistinguishable from materials made from petrochemicals. She also shares the story behind the world's first enzymatically recycled Nylon 6,6 jacket, created in partnership with Lululemon, and explores how Samsara Eco was built through Main Sequence Ventures' orchestration model alongside partners such as Woolworths and the Australian National University. The conversation also looks at what a future built around distributed, local recycling infrastructure could mean for designers, manufacturers, consumers, and the global circular economy.Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life. Hosts Karl Schmieder and Erum Azeez Khan share stories and interview the leaders and innovators changing the world through biology. Biology is the world's oldest technology, and it can be engineered.

TL;DRIn this episode, we talk to Samantha Skyring, founder of Oryx Desert Salt. She grew up in South Africa, built and sold an aviation refurbishment business by 21, ran a kayaking expedition company on Lake Malawi, and eventually sold her house to buy 34 tons of Kalahari Desert salt with no business plan, just conviction. Today Oryx Desert Salt is stocked in Whole Foods, Amazon, and retailers across South Africa, and its ceramic "refill, not landfill" grinders have saved over 1.2 million bottles from landfill in a single year.During This EpisodeHow Samantha's early jobs, a family business, and a Lake Malawi kayaking expedition shaped her entrepreneurial instinctsA close encounter with a wild oryx in the Namib Desert, and how it became the seed and the logo of her salt brandThe moment she sold her house to buy 34 tons of Kalahari Desert saltWhy most table salt is stripped, bleached, and mixed with anti-caking agents (and sometimes sugar)How ocean pollution, microplastics, and pharmaceutical residue are showing up in sea saltInside the 300 million year old Kalahari aquifer and the four week, sun dried, lunar cycle crystallization processWhy Oryx uses ceramic grinders instead of plastic, and how "refill, not landfill" saved 1.2 million+ bottles from landfill last yearThe real science on sodium: hydration, heart health, sleep, energy, and how much salt you actually needPacking salt on a borrowed dining table after leaving an abusive relationship, and the early wins that kept her goingHow gratitude, conviction, and networking helped Oryx Desert Salt land in Whole Foods and go globalHer advice for anyone building a mission-driven, sustainable businessTimestamps to relevant points within the episode, use this format:[00:00]-Intro[00:00] - Intro (hook, free course announcement, welcome, and guest introduction)[02:39] - Samantha's origin story[04:49] - Lake Malawi kayaking expedition[05:41] - London and the 13-year relationship ending[06:50] - The Namib Desert oryx encounter[09:00] - Selling her house for 34 tons of salt[11:34] - Why table salt isn't real salt[12:53] - Ocean pollution in sea salt[14:35] - Inside the Kalahari aquifer[15:28] - Four-week crystallization process[16:21] - Water memory research[18:45] - Ceramic vs. plastic grinders[19:38] - Refill, not landfill[20:44] - Choosing impact over "good business sense"[23:21] - The travel shaker story[26:35] - Busting salt myths[29:35] - Why the body needs salt[30:29] - Salt, energy, and brain function[32:29] - How much salt you need[33:58] - Salt and sleep[35:11] - Packing salt on a dining table[36:32] - Early wins with top chefs[39:23] - The 10 rand note and the billboard[42:41] - Going global[44:49] - Networking into Whole Foods[46:23] - Advice to her younger self[48:53] - September announcement[49:50] - How to support sustainable businesses[52:49] - Her most important Mama Earth decision[56:04] - Final Five[58:24] - Closing thoughts and CTALinks from the episodes:Oryx Desert Salt, available via madeinrsa.com (ships worldwide from South Africa in 3 days via DHL)Oryx Desert Salt at Whole Foods and Amazon (USA)Oryx Desert Salt Shopify siteOdyssey Magazine (South Africa)"The Salt Fix" by Dr. James DiNicolantonioSarah Gottfried's Hormone Reset DietVeda Austin's water memory research (New Zealand)Dr. Masaru Emoto's water crystal researchWhere can people find our guest?LinkedIn, Samantha's primary platform for sharing her entrepreneurial journeymadeinrsa.com, for worldwide Oryx Desert Salt ordersWhole Foods and Amazon (USA)Checkers, Food Lover's Market, Woolworths, Pick n Pay, and Spar (South Africa)Key Takeaways:Not all salt is created equal. Much of what's sold as table salt is stripped of minerals, heated, sometimes bleached, and often contains anti-caking agents or sugarMost sea salt today has been found to contain microplastics and pharmaceutical residue because of ocean pollutionOryx Desert Salt comes from a 300 million year old aquifer under the Kalahari Desert and crystallizes naturally over a four week lunar cycleCeramic grinders and a "refill, not landfill" model saved over 1.2 million bottles and grinder heads from landfill last yearSodium is essential for heart function, hydration, brain function, and sleep. Real world needs may be higher than the standard low sodium advice many people hearBuilding a mission-driven business often means choosing long-term impact over the safest short-term business decisionConviction, networking, and gratitude played as big a role in Oryx's growth as any formal business planSupport sustainable brands by reading ingredient labels, choosing simplicity, and being mindful of where your products come fromFAQWhy is table salt considered "not real salt"?Table salt is typically stripped of its natural minerals, heated (and sometimes bleached), and treated with anti-caking or free flow chemicals so it pours easily. Some brands even add sugar to offset the taste of those chemicals, which is why Samantha Skyring calls it a fake, industrial product rather than true salt.Is sea salt safe to consume?Not always. Because ocean pollution has increased, research cited in the episode found that 90 to 95 percent of tested sea salt contains microplastics, and it can also carry residue from sewage dumping and medications such as contraceptives, antidepressants, and statins.What makes Kalahari Desert salt different?Oryx Desert Salt is drawn from a pristine underground aquifer beneath the Kalahari Desert, replenished by ancient rock strata around 300 million years old. It is never touched by humans until it is pumped to the surface, and it crystallizes naturally in about four weeks during a lunar cycle, without ocean pollution or industrial processing.How much salt should you eat per day?Samantha Skyring notes that while the standard recommended daily allowance is often cited around 2.5 grams, many people's actual needs are closer to 7.5 to 10 grams, especially if they sweat heavily, exercise, or are pregnant. She recommends listening to your body's cravings rather than defaulting to a strict low sodium rule.Can salt help you sleep better?Anecdotally, yes. In the episode, Samantha shares stories of people who improved sleep by taking a small amount of good quality salt (often mixed with honey) before bed, since sodium plays a role in the body's nervous system and relaxation response.What is Oryx Desert Salt's refill program?Oryx Desert Salt uses ceramic (not plastic) grinding mechanisms that are built to be refilled rather than thrown away, under the tagline "refill, not landfill." The company reports this system saved over 1.2 million bottles and grinder heads from landfill in the past year alone.Where can I buy Oryx Desert Salt?Oryx Desert Salt is available through madeinrsa.com for worldwide shipping, at Whole Foods and Amazon in the United States, and at major retailers across South Africa including Checkers, Food Lover's Market, Woolworths, Pick n Pay, and Spar.Who is Samantha Skyring?Samantha Skyring is a South African entrepreneur and the founder of Oryx Desert Salt. Before launching the brand, she ran an aviation refurbishment business, operated a kayaking expedition company on Lake Malawi, and eventually sold her house to fund the purchase of 34 tons of Kalahari Desert salt, which became the foundation of her now globally distributed sustainable salt company.

In today's episode we are exploring the primary role of a team leader and I am sharing some of the coaching questions I might ask a leader to help them develop team capability.Today we're talking about a question every corporate leader eventually faces:“What is my primary role as a team leader?”Is it simply to deliver results?Is it to control outcomes?Or to take responsibility when things go wrong ?Or, is leadership actually about developing people so the team can consistently perform at a higher level and behave autonomously?This is what we are talking about today on the podcast - what the primary role of the leader truly is.I am also sharing 3 powerful coaching questions I might ask a leader, working with me for executive coaching, to help them develop team capability.Rebecca, on asking yourself different questions as leader: "A leader who only focuses on targets may get short-term performance - while a leader who develops capability builds long-term performance.

This Omni Talk Retail Fast Five segment examines Ahold Delhaize's decision to appoint former Amazon Fresh executive Claire Peters as CEO of Ahold Delhaize USA and what the hire could mean for one of the largest grocery retailers in the U.S. Chris Walton and Jenn Hahn discuss why Ahold Delhaize looked beyond traditional grocery talent, what Claire Peters' experience at Amazon, Woolworths, and Tesco brings to the role, and whether an unconventional leadership hire is exactly what the company needs. They also explore the growing trend of retailers recruiting executives from outside their core industry, why fresh perspectives can spark transformation, and whether taking a chance on nontraditional talent is worth the risk. ⏩ Tune in for the full episode here: https://youtu.be/k2JviUlR0-Q

Namibië se beesvleisbedryf word toenemend gevorm deur strategiese keuses wat uitvoerabattoirs maak oor wáár en hoé hulle hul produkte bemark, keuses wat moontlik in die toekoms tot voordeel van plaaslike produsente kan strek. So 'n voorbeeld is Meatco se onlangse goedkeuring om direk aan Woolworths, verbruiker-gereed produkte te verkoop. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met plaaslike landboukenner, Wallie Roux gepraat.

Η «αιμορραγία» θέσεων εργασίας απ΄την Αυστραλία στο εξωτερικό συνεχίζεται. Τα τελευταία εικοσιτετράωρα δύο μεγάλες εταιρείες, ανάμεσά τους και ο κολοσσός Woolworths επικαλούμενες το κόστος λειτουργίας, ανακοίνωσαν περικοπές στο προσωπικό τους.

Today we're talking about a situation that comes up sometimes in leadership coaching engagements - a newly appointed leader who inherits an existing team and then struggles to establish credibility.This is one of the reasons organisations bring me in as a leadership coach. On paper, promoting this person to leader makes sense. The leader is capable, experienced, technically strong, maybe high-performing in previous roles.But then they step into a new leadership position with an inherited team… and things start to wobble.Maybe the team doesn't fully buy in. Momentum slows. Relationships become strained. The leader starts second-guessing themselves.In today's episode we are exploring why this transition can be so hard and how coaching can help the leader build engagement and thrive.Rebecca, on taking a step back in the first few days and weeks of your new leadership role: "What makes it particularly difficult is that many new leaders think they need to prove themselves quickly. So they overcompensate. They move too fast. And they try to establish authority before establishing trust."Links:Get a copy of Rebecca's 7 Strategic Shifts to Position You as a High-Impact LeaderBook a free 15 minute Career Strategy call with Rebecca to get your career off to a fresh start.

Most Australians eat chicken schnitzel regularly. Most are unknowingly buying one where barely a third of the product is actually chicken. This week Leanne and Susie went through every pre-crumbed and frozen chicken schnitzel option across Coles, Woolworths, and Aldi, checked the labels, compared the protein and chicken percentages, and came back with a definitive ranking of which ones are genuinely worth buying and which ones are quietly ripping you off. Spoiler: the best option in the whole supermarket is not what most people expect. In this episode: A full ranking of supermarket chicken schnitzels by chicken percentage and protein content, including the specific products from Woolworths, Coles, Aldi, Lilydale, Steggles, and Cleavers Organic that Leanne and Susie actually recommend Why some schnitzels are as low as 28% chicken, what is filling the rest of the product, and the one word to look for on the label that almost always signals a better option Why a chicken schnitzel from the supermarket has roughly half the protein and double the calories of a plain chicken breast, and how to build it into a meal without undoing your nutrition goals How to make a significantly better version at home in under 10 minutes using ingredients you probably already have, including an air fryer method Susie swears by New research from a 25-year longitudinal study at the University of Manchester on breakfast timing, cognitive ageing, and why the timing of your meals in older age is a more important health marker than most people realise Why your parents eating dinner at 5pm might actually be a sign they are ageing well, and the subtle shift in meal habits that can signal early cognitive decline worth paying attention to Flavoured Medjool dates: the True Dates range reviewed, why dates have a significant health halo that the numbers do not fully support, and when Leanne actually recommends them to clients The high-protein yogurt question answered: is it actually worth paying more for Chobani, YoPro, or Coles Perform over standard Greek yogurt, and when does the extra protein genuinely matter Shop Designed by Dietitians: If your protein, creatine, magnesium, or hydration needs a bit of a boost, explore the full evidence-based range at designedbydietitians.com Keep telling your friends about The Nutrition Couch so this show can keep reaching the people who need it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As one of Australia's top Speed Painters, she has lived and breathed the dynamic process of transformation for over 20 years, turning blank walls and cavasses into thought-provoking pieces of art, with limited time and often in front of a live audience. Merging her artistic talent with her passion for public speaking, Rowan has reimagined the role of the artist, pushing the boundaries of a studio-based pursuit into a trail-blazing performance genre that challenges the limitations of time and space.After graduating from Converse College in 2003 with a BFA in Studio Art, Rowan started an art business in Greenville, South Carolina, USA before moving to Sydney to expand her horizons. It was here that she used the process of creative futurism to overcome depression, challenge chronic illness and create a new future for herself and her family. No longer shackled by societal norms, she has stepped into the full power of her truth personally and professionally.Rowan's strong emotional storytelling, along with her ability to paint fast and think fast has captivated hundreds of clients like Nestlé, ANZ, AMP, Ernst & Young, Woolworths, Sydney Airport, and Priceline. She has inspired audiences to embrace their own creativity which she believes is a “birthright to all” and to date has painted at over 600 events raising over $400,000 for charity.Other clients include: SAP, Netball World Cup, Salvation Army, Terry White Chemmart, YPO, City of Sydney, Commonwealth Bank, American Express, Doterra, Department of Defence, Mirvac, Australian College of Nursing, Liberty Finance, University of Sydney, NAB, ANZ, Dexus, Fastway Couriers, AUSCAM, Bombay Sapphire, International Canadian School Ho Chi Min City, etc.
