For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

In this episode of Helping Organisations Thrive, we explore the future of work with Heather Jerrehian, diving into the impact of AI on the workforce and why talent viability is crucial for business agility. Heather challenges common misconceptions about AI, emphasising that rather than replacing human workers, AI can make work more human by taking over mundane tasks and allowing employees to focus on high-value, human-centric skills. These "power skills"—like creativity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence—will become even more essential as AI adoption grows. We also discuss how leaders can ease AI-related fears through effective change management and by actively involving employees in conversations about AI’s role in their work. Heather highlights the importance of talent visibility, showing how understanding workforce capabilities can drive better business agility. Heather also cautions leaders to navigate common pitfalls, including the need for ethical AI governance and responsible implementation. Heathers message to leaders?

In this episode of Helping Organisations Thrive, we welcome Dr. Laura Gabayan to discuss resilience through the lens of her Common Wisdom study. Inspired by her struggle with chronic Lyme disease and the lack of thinking outside the box during this time, Dr. Gabayan interviewed wise individuals to uncover the eight key elements of wisdom. As we delve into the eight key elements of wisdom, Dr. Gabayan shares how resilience is not just about enduring hardship but about shifting perspective—from “Why me?” to “Why not me?”. Many of the wise individuals she interviewed in her study had faced significant life challenges but moved forward with a sense of peace and kindness toward themselves. She emphasises that kindness is a strength, humility is a skill, and living in faith over fear fosters resilience. As the conversation continues, we discuss how leaders can cultivate wisdom by serving as role models, the importance of self-awareness in developing humility, and how younger generations can nurture wisdom in an era that often prioritises ego over growth.

In this episode of Helping Organisations Thrive, Dr. Alia Bojilova, a former special forces psychologist, shares her unique insights on resilience through the lens of psychology and her military background. Alia highlights the critical role of curiosity in building resilience, helping individuals move beyond the fight, flight, or freeze response and engage more deeply with their environment. Reflecting on her experience of being taken hostage in Syria, Alia explains how curiosity enabled her to understand her captors' intentions and communicate effectively. She also shares how small acts of positivity, like a glance or a smile, can serve as powerful survival mechanisms in the face of challenges. We explore how leaders can cultivate curiosity within teams by fostering awareness, encouraging questions, and creating collaborative environments. Drawing further on Alia’s military background, we discuss the key traits that make special forces personnel elite and resilient: Self-awareness, a deep sense of belonging, curiosity, and the ability to maintain "subjective equilibrium."

In this episode of Helping Organisations Thrive, we are joined by Genevieve Hawkins as we explore the fascinating science behind effective leadership and emotional resilience. We delve into the body’s natural responses—cortisol spikes and increased heart rates—when we receive feedback that feels critical. Genevieve explains how recognising these signals can help leaders pause, reflect, and choose to stay curious instead of defensive. She highlights the importance of oxytocin and serotonin, the "connection" and "happiness" chemicals, in creating a sense of belonging and stability at work. By fostering environments that reduce cortisol and boost these positive chemicals, leaders can help their teams, and themselves, feel safe and supported. Genevieve also provides practical advice on enhancing our emotional regulation, from small acts of kindness that trigger serotonin boosts to preparing for difficult conversations by focusing on common interests and shared goals, ultimately deepening colleague connections. Her insights offer a powerful reminder that understanding the brain’s chemistry can be key to fostering healthier, more connected workplaces.

Drawing from his experiences, James shares key insights on the surprising shift leaders face when transitioning from in-office management to remote team leadership. He highlights the importance of fostering a collaborative environment, where team members are actively involved in shaping strategy and aligning with the business vision, even from afar. James emphasises the need for leaders to adopt a flexible mindset, focusing on the quality of work rather than quantity, and ensuring a strong framework for a culture of accountability and support is built. We discuss how to maintain mental well-being and productivity in fully remote teams and James advises regular check-ins and surveys, noting the particular challenges faced by more junior team members in remote setups.

As we delve deeper into the importance of leaders demonstrating emotional intelligence, Katja emphasises the need to firstly be entirely aligned with yourself and understand the root causes to your own behaviours and emotions. Katja outlines a 4-step approach to begin your journey of self-alignment, paving the way for stronger emotional intelligence.

For leaders having to conduct a formal performance review, Daryll shares how best to prepare—setting clear intentions, aligning realistic expectations, and understanding what motivates each person to ensure feedback is impactful.

Mark reflects on his own journey and explains that as companies scale, it’s easy to lose sight of the core elements that made them successful and stand out in the first place. To prevent this, Mark shares how leaders must focus on their "CORE"— Customer, Origin, Reason, and Ethos. Mark shares practical strategies for engaging your CORE within your team, including how to discover your origin story, as this isn’t something that is created, but rather discovered and nurtured. We touch on how we can maintain these core values and incorporate them into daily actions, even with hybrid working teams, helping to build a strong culture that can endure growth.

In this episode of Helping Organisations Thrive, we are joined by Allison Ness as we explore how leaders can navigate the constant state of disruption and change in today’s workplace, contrasting it with traditional views of organisational transformation. We explore how disruptions differ from planned changes, noting that change is no longer finite with a clear start and end—it’s now an ongoing, layered process. Disruptions are often more impactful, triggering emotional responses and creating a sense of overwhelm. To combat this, Allison shares how leaders can empower themselves by focusing on what they can control. Allison dives into the importance of creating safe spaces for leaders to reflect on their experiences, recognising the isolation that can come with leadership during turbulent times. Finally, we emphasise the need for vulnerability and normalising emotions, showing that acknowledging and sharing these feelings can help leaders and their teams manage disruption as a unit.
