  Episode #108

  Ep 108: Are you ready to future-proof your leadership? - with guest Dr Rosie Ward

  Sep 25, 202643 min

  In this episode of Beyond Potential, Tom Emery is joined by Dr Rosie Ward, coach, speaker, founder and CEO of Salveo Partners and author of Future-Proofing Leadership, to explore why even the highest-achieving leaders get in their own way. Rosie shares the research behind her book, which identified seven "faulty programs," that quietly sabotage leadership behaviour from beneath the surface. She explains why simply teaching leaders new skills and tools often fails, and why the real work starts with naming and understanding the "inner operating system" driving our behaviour. The conversation also explores Rosie's own journey from kinesiology and the fitness industry to organisational psychology, why healing the emotion isn't the same as healing the underlying narrative, and how leaders can start to reconnect with their core values rather than living for other people's opinions and expectations.

  Episode #106

  Ep 106: What does it take to be a great mentor? - with guest Stephen Baxter

  Sep 11, 202637 min

  In this episode of Beyond Potential, Tom Mason flies solo and is joined by Stephen Baxter, executive coach, mentor, and founder of Nine Dots Coaching and host of the peer-to-peer leadership group LeadersLab, to explore what it really takes to be a great mentor. Stephen shares his journey from co-founding and exiting a financial planning business to building a coaching practice from scratch, including giving his services away for free in the early days to build credibility. The conversation also covers the power of peer-to-peer support for senior leaders, the loneliness that comes with responsibility, and why proper "contracting" at the start of any coaching or mentoring relationship can save you from almost every difficult conversation down the line.

  Episode #105

  Ep 105: How can we be really productive? - with guest Grace Marshall

  Sep 4, 202636 min

  In this episode of Beyond Potential, Tom Emery and Tom Mason are joined by Grace Marshall, productivity expert, speaker, and author, to explore what it really means to be productive. Grace explains the difference between feeling productive and actually being productive, why attention and emotion management matter as much as time management, and why chasing "efficiency" can quietly stop us from innovating or growing. She shares the concept of "high functioning fear," and how fight, flight, freeze and fawn responses show up disguised as busyness, ambition or hard work. The conversation also covers identity and busyness, the "Tigger boss" dynamic and its impact on teams, and why time you enjoy wasting is never really wasted.

  Episode #104

  Ep 104: Meaning, myths, and burnout at work - with guests Leanne and Al Elliott

  Aug 28, 202635 min

  In this episode of Beyond Potential, Tom Emery and Tom Mason are joined by Al and Leanne Elliott, co-founders of Oblong HQ and hosts of The Truth, Lies and Work podcast, to explore what's really driving disengagement, burnout and bad hiring decisions in today's workplace. They discuss the change from work as a means to financial security to work as a source of meaning, and why "job hugging" doesn't necessarily mean your people are engaged. Al and Leanne share why culture fit is one of the most persistent hiring myths in business, why it predicts almost nothing about future performance. The conversation also explores the pushback against "AI slop" to the limits of AI coaching, and how leaders can use AI to support, rather than replace, good judgement and human relationships. A brilliant, funny and refreshingly honest conversation for any leader who wants to build a positive workplace.
