  Bridging the Implementation Gap: Neurodiversity at Work and Australia’s NDIS Under Threat

  Aug 16, 202630 min

  Host Dr Russell Thackeray interviews Jodie Herbert in Canberra, Australia, founder of Ability Pathways Australia and a carer of three children on the autism spectrum. They discuss neurodiversity as natural variation in thinking, differences in autism categorisation (ASD 1–4), and how modern workplaces with constant digital channels can make neurodivergent needs harder to accommodate. Jodie describes practical, low-cost adjustments employers can make—written follow-ups, clear SOPs, and quiet workspaces or work-from-home options—and explains her data-driven “longitudinal study” approach: clients complete daily questionnaires for 30 days, producing visualised recommendations to help employers close the “implementation gap.” They also cover Australia’s disability legislation and the NDIS, noting proposed 2026 funding cuts and a pending parliamentary bill, with concerns about service loss, economic impact, and participant wellbeing. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions 00:21 Life in Canberra 01:28 Jodie’s Story and Mission 02:50 What Neurodiversity Means 03:56 Autism Levels Explained 06:37 Workplace Overload and Inclusion 11:33 Simple Adjustments That Work 14:57 Remote Work and Real Needs 17:31 Closing the Implementation Gap 20:56 Australia Disability Policy and NDIS 23:32 NDIS Cuts and What’s at Stake 27:16 How to Connect and Final Thoughts You can contact us at info@qedod.com Resources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com

  The Executive Condition: Biological Foundations of Sustainable Leadership with Dr. Denis Cronson

  Aug 9, 202632 min

  Dr Russell Thackeray welcomes Dr. Denis Cronson, a South African-born medical doctor now based in Switzerland, to discuss leadership through a biological lens. Cronson describes moving from trauma surgery into 20 years of organisational health and executive consulting, observing how overcommitment, “success but sacrifice” cultures, and failure patterns deplete leaders and spread dysfunction through organisations. They argue many leaders respond with “hacks” (supplements, sleep programs, workouts) that increase capacity without changing the underlying system creating unsustainable load. Cronson links leadership attributes like judgment, empathy, adaptability, and working memory to neurobiology affected by sleep, nutrition, and chronic stress, and notes normalised distraction and phone scrolling. He outlines “Leadership 3.0” as the biological and psychological condition required to lead, and introduces his book, The Executive Condition, released internationally Sept 1, 2026, aimed at leaders, boards, shareholders, HR, and coaches. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:30 South Africa to Switzerland 01:23 Culture Humour and Humanity 03:30 From Trauma Surgery to Exec Health 05:29 Why Hacks Miss the System 09:06 Neurobiology of Leadership 12:56 Working Memory and Doomscrolling 15:20 ADHD Normalisation Debate 17:11 Leadership 3.0 Framework 19:35 The Executive Condition Book 24:57 Wellbeing Programs vs Redesign 28:09 Resilience Band Aids and Culture 29:11 Where to Get the Book Closing You can contact us at info@qedod.com Resources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com

  Belonging as a Measurable Driver of Resilience and Performance with Andrea Carter

  Aug 2, 202646 min

  Host Dr Russell Thackeray welcomes Andrea Carter, a Canada-based organisational scientist known for validating a way to measure belonging and leading studies across 3,500 people in 13 companies, later extended across eight industries and 150,000 employees. This is a genuinely fascinating episode and worth a full listen..! Andrea argues resilience is often treated as a solo sport—“exile with a deadline”—and that the real breaking point is facing hardship alone. She defines belonging as a measurable performance metric co-created by individuals and systems, distinct from “fitting in,” and explains five neurological indicators: comfort (clarity/predictability), connection (trust beyond transaction), contribution (evidence you matter), psychological safety, and wellbeing/recovery, noting “resilience without recovery is delayed collapse.” The discussion covers measuring belonging at organisational, team, and individual levels, focusing on shrinking belonging “gap scores,” and cites a plant intervention improving gap and discretionary effort, plus faster safety reporting. They also touch on DEI measurement issues, cultural differences, schools’ rising anxiety, and social media’s negative effects. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:00 Andrea Background and Research 04:34 Resilience Is Not Solo 07:04 Fitting In vs Belonging 10:35 Measuring Belonging Science 11:44 Five Indicators Explained 20:59 Teams Leaders and Culture 26:36 Belonging Drives Performance 30:39 Friction That Grows 39:32 Schools Youth and Social Media 44:05 Wrap Up and Contact Info You can contact us at info@qedod.com Resources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com

  Lenore Lambert on Human Flourishing, People Against Rushing, and Building Resilience Through Personal Growth

  Jul 26, 202640 min

  Host Dr Russell Thackeray interviews Sydney-based psychologist, former HR/leadership development director, and secular Buddhist teacher Lenore Lambert about her work Flourish Personal Growth and her “People Against Rushing” (PAR) intentions: a 20% time buffer, blank diary spaces, and “be where you are.” Lambert outlines her “nine elements of human flourishing,” adding safety factors to Seligman’s model: material security, autonomy, ease with uncertainty, and belonging, plus pleasure, engagement/flow, achievement, connection, and contribution. They discuss resilience as bouncing back/forward from setbacks, the risks of overdoing any element (especially money, power, and status), and research on “maximisers” vs “sufficers.” Lenore emphasises flourishing as both content and process, using learning, mindfulness, and Buddhist insight to reduce reactivity and respond rather than react. She directs listeners to flourishpersonalgrowth.com and suggests downloading her free self-assessment to improve the lowest-scoring element. 00:00 Welcome From Sydney 00:57 Background And Work 02:57 People Against Rushing 04:36 Neurodiversity And Difficulty 05:24 Nine Elements Of Flourishing 08:36 Building The Model 10:35 Resilience And Setbacks 11:52 Money Status And Meaning 15:38 Workplace Leadership Effects 16:26 Sufficiency Versus Maximising 18:00 Paradox of Choice 19:08 Perfectionism and Maximisers 20:01 Learning as Resilience 20:35 Flourishing Process Model 22:09 Who Defines Flourishing 24:33 Happiness Myth Spectrum 27:32 Contentment and Comparison 29:18 Tools Programs and Website 30:26 Feelings as Body Sensations 33:33 Buddhist Nonreactivity Practice 37:15 How to Engage and Next Steps 38:26 Final Task and Farewell You can contact us at info@qedod.com Resources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com

  Duncan Starr-Boltt on Fitness, Identity, Eastern Mind Mastery, and Purpose-Driven Goal Setting

  Jul 19, 202629 min

  Host Russell Thackeray welcomes Duncan Starr-Boltt, a Cambridge-based Brit who lives in Crete most of the year, and explores his journey from mechanical engineering into personal training, coaching, and running a CrossFit gym. Duncan describes intense fitness challenges (including a wall-ball world record of 452) and how proving fitness shaped his identity, later easing once he felt he’d proven it to himself. After becoming stressed running the gym, he found Western approaches ineffective and turned to Eastern ideas, emphasising “you are not the mind,” cultivating the observer through meditation and mindfulness, and focusing on feeling okay internally. He discusses the tension between goals and contentment, advocating goals for clarity without unhealthy drive, and shares his father’s Maslow-inspired visualisation process that iteratively achieves goals to uncover deeper purpose. He also mentions his fictional book, "Seeking Sukha," about lasting happiness and peace, and how to find him online. 00:00 Introductions 00:37 From Engineer to Fitness Coach 01:55 Gym Stress and Eastern Practices 02:50 Forrest Gump Fitness Identity 03:33 Chasing World Records 06:06 Did Proving It Matter 07:09 The Goal Behind Goals 08:38 Goal Setting vs Discontentment 11:08 Driven Energy and Satisfaction 11:53 Why We Choose Unsatisfied 12:48 Why We Tolerate Abuse 13:38 Eastern Wisdom vs Western Fixes 14:45 You Are Not The Mind 17:08 Observer Mindfulness and Goals 17:50 Purpose Beyond the Cave 19:15 Vision Triangle Goal Process 23:21 Identity and Future Self 24:40 Seeking Sukha Book Story 26:26 Audiobook Recording Realities 26:53 Where to Find Duncan 27:24 Final Reflections and Goodbye You can contact us at info@qedod.com Resources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com
