Leading the Learning Revolution at Work
Jun 16, 2021
Hello and welcome to Episode 66 of the People Powered Business Podcast!
Â
The approach to learning has certainly changed, and we are seeing a shift away from employee driven formal learning to employer driven informal learning as the key way to impart knowledge and skills to our employees.
Â
As employers I know it can often feel that we are doing all the things to look after our employees. We are constantly looking after them, thinking about their needs and the onus and more and more on us. It can be exhausting and sometimes frustrating, but in todays episode I share with you why I think leading the way in this learning revolution at work can really set your business up for success.
Â
Mentioned in todays episode was a report from Swinburne University called Peak Human Workplace, you can view that report here:Â Peak Human Workplace Report

Are They Above or Below the Line?
Jun 09, 2021
Hello and welcome to Episode 65 of the People Powered Business Podcast!
Â
Today weâre chatting about one of the most valuable management and leadership frameworks I work with, and something I canât quite believe I havenât discussed here on the Podcast before, and that is the concept of above the line and below the line thinking or behaviour.
Â
Whilst Iâm not entirely sure where this concept originated, I do know that Carolyn Taylor discussed this in her book Walking the Talk, although she credits Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad Poor Dad) with her understanding of the concept.
Â
Simply, people who are above the line take responsibility ownership and accountability at work, and those below the line are inclined to blame, shame and justify â nothing is ever their fault.
Â
In todayâs episode we take a deeper dive into the different behaviours that will present in the workplace between above and below the line staff, as well as what to do if you find yourself with a below the line employe...

Gen Z In The Workplace
May 12, 2021
Hello and welcome to Episode 61 of the People Powered Business Podcast!
Â
Today we discussed a one of my favourite things to chat about, mainly because I am so interested in human behaviour and trends, and how we see this play out at work, and that is generations in the workplace. Specifically today we spoke about Gen Z.
Â
Gen Z are our first generation of true digital natives, being born between 1995 and 2009, they have grown up in the era of iPhones and iPads and integrate tech into everything. Yet, interestingly, they also crave social and human interaction, especially in the workplace.
Â
Today we discussed not only the general traits of Gen Z, but also what to expect from them in the workplace and how to get the most out of them.
Â
I referred in this discussion to an article by research company McCrindle, you can read that article here >>>Â McCrindle Research Article
Â
As I mentioned, I would love to hear about your experienced in having Gen Z in your workplace, the benefi...
How Great Is A 4 Day Week?
May 05, 2021
Hello and welcome to Episode 60 of the People Powered Business Podcast!
Â
Today we discussed a concept which may seem a little strange to some of you, the 4 day work week. Taking a full time role and getting the same results achieved in just 4 days, or 80% of the time.
Â
Championed by Andrew Barnes, after successfully implementing the model during his time with Perpetual Guardian, we discussed the various models of the 4 day work week, and how this could look and work within your business.
Â
Of course before considering a change like this to your workplace there are a few key things we need. In todayâs episode we discussed my top tips that you may need to consider before embarking on adopting this structure in your business:
- Understand how to measure productivity;
- Build and nurture trusting teams;
- Trial and consult.

...Identifying Imposter Syndrome in Your Team
Apr 28, 2021
Hello and welcome to Episode 59 of the People Powered Business Podcast!
Â
Today we had a great discussion about a topic that we havenât covered on the podcast before â Imposter Syndrome.
Â
Now many of us as entrepreneurs, leaders, business owners and managers may have come up against imposter syndrome ourselves before, but what about our team? Do we know how to spot it and identify it within our team? I think itâs something we often havenât thought about, or wouldnât be sure how to identify it and help the employee overcome this.
Â
I recently became aware of the work of Dr. Valerie Young, an expert in this field, who has identified 5 different types of imposter syndrome that may occur in our teams. She speaks and writes about how to identify these and what you might be able to do to assist employees in overcoming this imposter feeling.
Â
In todays episode we unpacked the five types and Dr. Youngâs suggestions for helping employee work through and overcome their imposter syndrom...
15 Years Part 3 - Learning to Juggle
Apr 21, 2021
Today's episode is part 3 of a 3 part series â where I am sharing 15 of the most important lessons Iâve learnt in my 15 years in business.
Â
Today we focused on the art of the juggle â the juggle that is business, but also the juggle of being an entrepreneur and business owner, as well as real human â a parent, a partner, a family member and a friend.
Â
Here are my 5 top lessons (although Iâve learnt many many more):
- Work life balance is bullshit;
- No one in your life cares how hard it is, surround yourself by people who get it;
- Self care is not selfish;
- Stop being a martyr;
- Drop the guilt.
Â
As mentioned I also have an invitation for you, to join us in our free Facebook Group, HR Support for Australian Businesses.
