  Luca Oake - The Forgiveness You Don't Owe Anyone

  Aug 13, 20261h 4mS4

  Most of us think forgiveness is about someone else. About what they did, what they should admit, or the apology we're still waiting for. But what if forgiveness has very little to do with them? On August 13, I'll be joined by Luca Oake to explore a different way of thinking about one of life's most misunderstood words. Drawing from her deeply personal memoir Forgive for You, we'll talk about anger, freedom, family, leadership, and why waiting for closure can sometimes keep us from moving forward. This is not a conversation about pretending the past didn't happen. It's about what becomes possible when we stop allowing it to define our future. Whether you've struggled with difficult relationships at work, carried resentment for years, or simply wondered what forgiveness really means, I think you'll find something worth reflecting on. Join us live and be part of the conversation. We'll also be taking questions from our live audience. #InspiringConversations #Forgiveness #Leadership #PersonalGrowth #Resilience #EmotionalIntelligence #Wellbeing #LivePodcast #podmatch

  Justin Robbins - Culture Is Not a Company Slogan

  Jul 30, 20261h 4mS3

  When Values Become Work Most organisations can tell you what they value. Far fewer can show you. Not because leaders don't care. More often because the way work is designed quietly rewards something else. - We say people matter. Then we measure something different. - We encourage collaboration. Then we reward individual competition. - We ask people to innovate. Then we make failure expensive. On July 30, I'll be joined by Justin Robbins to explore the gap between what organisations say and what people actually experience every day. We'll talk about leadership, work design, culture, and why values only matter when they show up in how work actually gets done. If happiness at work is the byproduct of knowing that who you are and what you do matters, maybe the better question is this: What is your workplace teaching people every day? #InspiringConversations #Leadership #WorkplaceCulture #EmployeeExperience #FutureOfWork #LeadershipDevelopment #PeopleMatter #HappinessAtWork #podmatch

  Eric Robinson - From the Pulpit to the FBI, and Everything That Got Irreverent Along the Way

  Jul 23, 20261h 5mS3

  Listening for the Truth We often think the truth comes from asking better questions. But what if it begins with listening differently? After serving 24 years as an FBI Special Agent, Eric Robinson spent his career investigating everything from counterterrorism and public corruption to crimes against children and organized crime. Before joining the FBI, he spent 12 years as a pastor, giving him a rare perspective on trust, influence, and human nature. In this episode of Inspiring Conversations, we explore what it really takes to earn someone's trust, especially when they have every reason to remain silent. We'll talk about how investigators build relationships under pressure, why people choose to tell the truth, what Hollywood gets wrong about FBI work, and how the principles behind great investigations can help leaders, coaches, and anyone who wants to communicate more effectively. This promises to be a thoughtful conversation about listening, trust, and the human side of one of the world's most demanding professions. Join us live for a conversation that goes beyond the badge and explores what it means to truly hear another person. #InspiringConversations #Leadership #Listening #Trust #Communication #podmatch

  Christian de la Huerta - Power Was Never Meant to Be Control

  Jul 16, 20261 hourS3

  We spend a lot of time talking about power. Who has it. Who wants it. Who abuses it. Who appears to have more of it than everyone else in the meeting. Yet perhaps the real question is not how much power we have. Perhaps it is whether we have misunderstood what power actually is. On July 16th, I welcome Christian de la Huerta to Inspiring Conversations for a thought-provoking discussion titled: "When Power Stops Being About Control: Reclaiming Authentic Power in Relationships, Leadership, and Life" An award-winning author, internationally renowned speaker, and transformation coach with more than three decades of experience, Christian has dedicated his work to helping people move beyond fear, self-doubt, and unhealthy patterns to discover a more authentic and empowering way of living. Together, we will explore: • Why we often confuse power with control • What authentic power really looks like • How power struggles damage relationships and workplaces • Why leadership does not have to rely on fear, force, or domination • What becomes possible when we stop giving our power away His books, "Awakening the Soul of Power" and "Conscious Love" challenge many of our assumptions about relationships, leadership, and personal growth. At a time when conversations about power and its misuse seem more relevant than ever, this promises to be a rich and timely exploration. Because perhaps real power was never about controlling others. Perhaps it begins with learning how to be fully ourselves. #InspiringConversations #Leadership #Authenticity #PersonalGrowth #ConsciousLeadership #Relationships #ChristianDeLaHuerta #HappinessAtWork #podmatch

  Will Steel - Indispensable Is Not a Compliment

  Jul 9, 20261h 3mS3

  The Hidden Cost of Being Indispensable Why Leaders Who Cannot Step Away May Have Built the Wrong Kind of Success There is something curious about success. Many leaders dream of building a business that gives them freedom. Yet somewhere along the way, they become the one person the business cannot function without. What begins as commitment slowly turns into dependency. Perhaps the real measure of leadership is not how indispensable we become, but how unnecessary we make ourselves. On July 9th, I will be joined by Will Steel , whose work helps business owners uncover the blind spots and beliefs that keep them trapped in businesses they were hoping would set them free. Together, we will explore why working harder is not always the answer, why breakthroughs often begin with better questions, and what it means to build success without becoming a prisoner of it.
