  • Practical leadership advice you can actually use

    I listened to the episode with Doug Noll about handling conflict at work and really appreciated how Al and Leanne kept bringing the ideas back to real workplace situations. The explanation of affect labeling, especially the difference between naming an emotion and asking someone to explain it while they are upset, gave me something practical to use immediately. I also loved the three questions every nervous system is asking: Am I safe, can I trust you, and do I matter to you? The show makes work... more

  • Hilarious episode from one of my favourite shows

    I just listened to the summer sessions #4 Am I the workplace A***hole? episode and it was hilarious. Dr. Jake Tuber is an excellent co-host and only adds to Leanne and Al’s brilliant on air chemistry. Really fun episode but still makes you think. Thanks for the giggles.

  • Not Afraid to Ask the Hard Questions

    Much of the conversation about work today is either politely obvious or hopelessly complaining. Leanne and Al take a different approach. Drawing on behavioural science, real-world leadership experience, and a willingness to tackle controversial topics, they explore the messy realities of work with curiosity, intelligence, and refreshing honesty. Truth, Lies and Work consistently goes beyond the usual workplace clichés and leaves listeners thinking more deeply about leadership, culture, and the h... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

346. Is Imposter Syndrome Fake? PLUS! McKinsey LinkedIn Drama, workplace 'larping', and the job EVERYONE hates.
Q: Is there a way to tell the difference between someone who is great at interviewing and someone who is great at doing the work?
Leanne recommends starting with job analysis, identifying the required competencies, then using structured competency-based interviews, work-sample tests, and other assessments. Bringing in another interviewer can help reduce the influence of similarity and extroversion bias.
346. Is Imposter Syndrome Fake? PLUS! McKinsey LinkedIn Drama, workplace 'larping', and the job EVERYONE hates.
Q: Is it true that 70% of people experience imposter syndrome?
The evidence supports frequent imposter feelings in studied groups, particularly in healthcare and other high-pressure settings, but the general-population figure is uncertain because research samples, self-report measures, and scoring cutoffs vary. Leanne advises treating the label cautiously and recording achievements when the feelings are intense.
347. Get A.I. to do your job (so you can enjoy the good parts), with Noel Andrews
Q: If they're as excited about me as I am about this, what should they go and do now and try to see whether they can automate it?
Andrews suggests writing down tasks that feel frustrating or unenjoyable, then talking them through with ChatGPT Voice Mode or another AI assistant to identify a first automation step.
347. Get A.I. to do your job (so you can enjoy the good parts), with Noel Andrews
Q: What are you guys doing and perhaps using AI for, in terms of fixing the problems you felt the hiring process had?
JobRack uses AI to help assess candidates and produce constructive, specific feedback based on role requirements and candidates' work, while keeping the hiring decision with a human.
345. Values don’t spread. Stories do. With Matthew Hook and Caroline Keylock
Q: How should founders balance ego and the need to evolve the narrative for future growth?
Maintain a healthy level of self-confidence but move from personal biography to a broader, principles-based narrative that can be owned by the organization, ensuring that the brand can scale beyond any individual personality.
