  • Highly recommend!

    This podcast is so much more than just a leadership podcast.. it’s a moment of lightness and self-discovery. Digby does an incredible job of asking questions of the interviewee that prompt profound observations in the listener. Well, it did for me, anyway. It’s a bit like therapy for ourselves at work! In a good way. Fascinating, thought-provoking and warm. Thank you!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

[Interview] Intergenerational Healing, Translation, and the Courage to Lead | Christian Penny
Q: What are we lacking in leadership at the moment, and how do these ideas address that gap?
The lack is often a missing language and framework to connect people, with an emphasis on emergent leadership, hosting rather than hero leadership, and using small, local cells of practice to scale impact.
[Interview] Intergenerational Healing, Translation, and the Courage to Lead | Christian Penny
Q: Tell us a little about what you're seeing and what you're working on now.
Christian describes translating Indigenous Māori leadership approaches into mainstream practice, emphasizing presence and relational leadership over top-down control, and applying these ideas to high-performance sport and corporate settings.
[Interview] Listening Beyond Words, and Choosing What to Say No To | Oscar Trimboli
Q: How do you approach the idea of a Tour of Duty and why is impermanence important?
Oscar explains that framing leadership as a fixed-term tour reduces pressure, allows for clearer boundaries, and keeps energy focused on current impact rather than an endless commitment.
[Interview] Listening Beyond Words, and Choosing What to Say No To | Oscar Trimboli
Q: First question. What are you learning at the moment?
Oscar describes how foundational work from years ago is building a solid platform for future goals, emphasizing the shift from solely future-focused thinking to acknowledging and integrating past learnings.
[Interview] Rethinking Value, The Courage to Be Unfinished, and Human First Leadership | Rita Cincotta
Q: I'm curious about starting with who you are and what's your sense of mission or purpose? What are you trying to make happen in the world?
Rita describes a lifelong thread of leadership rooted in responsibility learned early as the daughter of migrants, and a mission to help leaders reconnect with why they lead, make leadership more human, and enable others to lead with learning and collaboration.
