    Brilliant storytelling by Kiri and Sean. Beyond sad and angry that this has occurred on such a massive scale.

  • Enjoyable listening!

    The recent episode about green arbitration (featuring Lucy Greenwood) was great, highlighting a key issue in an accessible and relevant way (especially for an industry that is often slow to change!).

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Inside wind energy contracting models with Andrew Davies
Q: What are the traditional contracting models used in onshore wind farms, and how are you seeing a shift toward split-scope models?
He explains that the typical model in Australia has been an EBC structure with a wind turbine supplier and a balance of plant package, but emerging practices in Europe and the US show two- to five-party structures (split-scope) to improve price competition and enable tailored risk allocation.
Inside wind energy contracting models with Andrew Davies
Q: What attracted you to the wind sector and how did your career evolve into techno-commercial roles?
Davies describes transitioning from the automotive industry to wind after a downturn, combining mechanical engineering with hands-on project exposure, which led to a focus on due diligence, risk allocation, and the interface between design and commercial terms.
Burnout: The hidden risk in high-performance work, with Dr Carly Shrever and Sally Ryan
Q: What can leaders do to support well-being and start conversations when they notice someone struggling?
Leaders should identify and minimize psychological hazards, promote well-being, know their people well to spot changes, and foster a psychologically safe culture where conversations about boundaries and workload are welcomed and acted on.
Burnout: The hidden risk in high-performance work, with Dr Carly Shrever and Sally Ryan
Q: Are stress and burnout the same thing, or how do they differ?
Burnout is a work-related syndrome, not a mental illness, characterized by emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced professional efficacy, and it typically results from prolonged unmanaged stress.
Burnout: The hidden risk in high-performance work, with Dr Carly Shrever and Sally Ryan
Q: So I just wanted to, I guess, start with understanding stress and burnout. What is stress?
Stress is a natural response to demand or pressure. It can sharpen performance in the short term, but becomes problematic when chronic, intense, and not allowing for recovery; perception of coping ability also shapes how stress feels.
