What if creativity wasn’t just a nice-to-have at work, but the missing link for real belonging, innovation and impact?

In this episode, I’m joined by Bourby Webster, a creative powerhouse and the founder of the Perth Symphony Orchestra. We talk about the power of creativity in the workplace and beyond. Bourby’s lived experience shows how creative spaces can spark community, drive fresh thinking, and open doors to authentic self-expression, even in the most buttoned-up workplaces.

From challenging Australia’s cultural cringe around art, to rethinking HR’s role in helping people feel seen and heard, Bourby and I talk about why creativity is essential, not just for fun, but for productivity, belonging, and reimagining what’s possible. You’ll hear real stories, some laughter, and lots of practical ideas to put to work.

Have you ever wondered if your self-respect is the missing piece to your success?

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Katherine Iscoe about why self-respect matters just as much, if not more, than confidence in your career. We explore the difference between self-respect, confidence and self-esteem, and how understanding these can help HR leaders, and anyone really, to build healthier, more authentic workplaces.

Dr. Katherine shares her insights on what keeps people stuck in people-pleasing and high-achieving patterns and why many HR professionals struggle more than others with owning their worth. I open up about the gaps I see in my own work with HR leaders, and how the struggle for self-respect underpins so many of the challenges we face in the workplace.

This is a conversation about getting honest with yourself, finding your voice, and deciding what’s really important to you. Tune in to find out why self-respect isn’t just about feeling good, it’s about standing tall, even when it’s hard.

So, how does it feel to be you right now? Let’s keep this conversation going. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode or any HR horror stories you’d like me to talk about in the future. Connect with us on LinkedIn, and let’s talk!

Ever felt like change is happening to your people, not with them?

In this episode, I sit down with emotional intelligence and human behaviour specialist Amy Jacobson to talk about what’s really behind resistance to change and why our usual strategies often miss the mark. Amy explains why emotional intelligence isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s a must-have if you want to lead change, tackle difficult conversations and stop the script-reading madness.

We explore emotional hijacks, “tick-box” HR, and the risks of promoting change without acknowledging what people stand to lose. Amy also introduces the concept of Change Intelligence, a strategic, emotionally intelligent approach to embedding real change across organisations. If you’re in HR or leadership, you’ll leave this episode with sharper tools, bolder ideas, and maybe a bit of a rethink on how you're doing change.

What’s really stopping emotionally intelligent conversations in your organisation? Are your leaders or HR function driving fear or empathy? Message me on LinkedIn with your thoughts or stories, we want to hear them: Connect with Reimagine HR on LinkedIn
