In this episode we explore how to set the next generation up for success at work — and what that means for leaders, managers, and colleagues today. We are joined by the brilliant Katharine Allan who is passionate about bridging the gap between intergenerational norms to create successful and flourishing cultures.

We’ll dive into:

• Expectations — how to be clear, fair, and flexible without lowering the bar.
• Etiquette — the small everyday behaviours that build respect across generations.
• Role models — why what you do matters more than what you say when it comes to leading new talent.

Whether you’re welcoming Gen Z into your team, navigating different workplace styles, or reflecting on how to retain great people, this episode is about building bridges, not barriers.

Practical tips, honest reflections, and a reminder that every generation has something to teach — and something to learn.

Welcome to our latest 4-part mini-series exploring what it really means to set up the next generation for success in the workplace.

We look at the core foundations that help people thrive at work, from building confidence and emotional intelligence, to role-modelling healthy behaviours and setting clear boundaries. In this episode we discuss how today’s world of constant technology, hybrid working, and ever-present “little eyes and ears” at home has changed what it means to learn, lead and grow.

We explore:

• Why role-modelling values like integrity, respect and curiosity matters more than ever.
• How to create a safe space for learning and mistakes – without judgement.
• The impact of home-working on what the next generation sees (and hears!) about “work.”
• Practical actions we can all take to instil confidence, emotional literacy, and resilience in those around us.

A useful listen for anyone supporting early-career talent, mentoring younger colleagues, or simply reflecting on the responsibility we all have to pass on sustainable working skills.

In this fourth episode in our Apply SPF (Self-Preservation Focus) we explore practical ways to reset our confidence and self-belief. Taking a moment to refresh and enhance our sense of self in and out of the workplace.

• What3Words exercise helps pinpoint where you are mentally and emotionally right now; follow with Start/Stop/Continue reflection to make empowered changes
• Adopt a growth mindset like a fox rather than a fixed mindset like a panda; reframe "being bad" at something as simply "not practiced yet"
• Understand the learning journey from unconscious incompetence to unconscious competence; practice makes permanent - most skills become comfortable after doing them three times

We also share our daily GAIL practice which is a great way to take a 2 min end of day reflection as you brush your teeth at night.

A useful listen for those wanting content ideas for themselves or others - as a reminder to look after yourself (as you're the only you!).

This episode is dedicated to all the self-doubters out there x
