In this session, they talk about what the word actually means and how it will become important for your transformation and […]

As we continue to wait for approval to air the original recordings of our discussion with a recent guest, Fulyana and Kim have both provided some reflection on the conversation. This time it centres on how physical safety concerns may manifest in other behaviours that you need to manage as well as communication generally within […]

For the first time since we began weekly podcasts in 2015, broadcasting a guest’s interview has been delayed whilst the employing organisation reviews the content for approval. We respect their right to do this and will wait for their decision. In the meantime, we felt that the content of the discussion was worthy of sharing […]

This week we look at what to do when salaries do not match market rates. As always, Kim and Fulyana use their professional experience to consider this topic from both sides of the issue – the employer and the employee. Have you been caught with a great employee that isn’t being paid current market rates? […]

This week the tables are turned as Fulyana interviews Kim about withdrawing from a project she has worked on for almost 10 years. What happens when you have a surprisingly large amount of time and the opportunity to actually follow through on one of your long term ideas? Do you have projects “in the wings” […]

These days there seems to be some resistance to providing these opportunities mostly based on the economic viability of training someone only to have them leave the organisation. This week Kim and […]

Fulyana is back! So that means we are in full “talk” mode, this week about what you are communicating by your behaviour patterns in the workplace.
