  • 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.

Natalie Wilde's secrets to stakeholder management
Q: What characteristics do you look for in potential team members during interviews?
Look for enthusiasm, joy, energy, and the ability to explain their role calmly and thoughtfully; value introverted, reflective candidates who communicate clearly and show genuine alignment with FW's mission.
Natalie Wilde's secrets to stakeholder management
Q: What's your approach to leading through ambiguity in a complex public service environment?
Acknowledge the ambiguity, allow a brief period of shared frustration, then move quickly into solution mode with your team, reinforcing a culture of collective responsibility where one setback is treated as a shared challenge.
Natalie Wilde's secrets to stakeholder management
Q: How do you manage the relationship between the government and the department's work when political directions shift?
Maintain clear guardrails for each stakeholder group, keep open and honest dialogue, and propose options with a few solid paths for consideration, then adapt based on leadership input while staying outcome-focused.
BONUS FW series: Giaan Rooney was “too invested”
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about a time when you made a switch that didn't work out and what you learned from that?
She reflects on the weather presenting stint where she was underprepared and received harsh feedback; it taught her the importance of recognizing misfit roles, learning from the experience, and redirecting to opportunities that align with her strengths, ultimately leading to reinvention.
Ruby Riethmuller on how to choose the brave option
Q: What does bravery look like in practice for Ruby today?
Bravery means taking opportunities even when scared, and using bravery strategically to grow as a leader, such as delivering a keynote to a large audience rather than opting for a safer alternative.
