  • Building your foundation!

    Podcasts that focus on leadership are so valuable because that’s the foundation of team success and a healthy culture. You can be great at your job but have zero leadership skills because you lack experience. It’s something that needs to be constantly worked on and tailored to specific peoples needs. Everyone has the ability to become a better leader and this podcast will support you on that growth journey. @Astrapto

  • Conservatism in disguise

    I can’t believe the Australian media keeps churning out this phoney attempt at supporting women and what’s worse is there’s people dumb enough to listen to it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bonus FW series: Chanel Contos was "too disruptive"
Q: What did you hope to achieve with the campaign? And have you achieved it?
Contos initially hoped to prompt men to reflect on their actions and bystander behavior, and to improve consent education at nearby schools. She says the campaign helped lead to mandatory consent education from kindergarten to year 10 across Australia, and Teach Us Consent has since grown into a company with 11 employees.
Bonus FW series: Chanel Contos was "too disruptive"
Q: When your Teach Us Consent campaign went global, you were just a crazy 22 years old. Did you have any sense back then of what you were getting yourself into?
Contos says she intended to encourage her former school and nearby schools to teach consent earlier and better. She did not expect the campaign to spread across Australia and internationally.
Kylie Bryant on what overpromotion teaches you
Q: How did the early over-promotion shape your leadership, and what did you learn from that period?
She explains that the rapid move up created a 'fishbowl' environment where she struggled with communication, discretion, and maintaining relationships, leading her to adopt a calmer, more deliberate leadership style with the help of mentors and role models.
Jessica Symes Toomey's guide to finding an executive coach
Q: What does it take to find and select an executive coach, and how should you present to your coach?
Do thorough research, look for accredited coaches (e.g., ICF), seek recommendations from colleagues, and be open and authentic in the initial conversations; there is no right or wrong way to present—being yourself helps set the tone for the coaching relationship.
Summit special: Your AI questions answered part 2
Q: Is that the case here too (that people are sharing a lot of personal data with AI providers) and are we giving up family secrets or corporate data to big AI companies?
The panel stresses governance and choosing trusted providers, with strong guardrails and human oversight to ensure data is handled responsibly; use company‑approved tools and avoid sharing sensitive information in unvetted AI products.
