  • 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.

325. He cancelled his meetings for a week (and nobody noticed), with Chris Lovett, best-selling author
Q: What should someone do first to start reclaiming time from a packed calendar?
Begin by asking yourself where you struggle most to say no, and then implement a small, structured disruption such as declining a batch of meetings for a week to test the impact, while preserving essential commitments.
320. Can you bulls*it a bullsh*tter? PLUS! The European hiring crisis, Gen-Z perfectionism and Tik Tok training
Q: Question 3: how to hire someone from a disadvantaged background without setting them up to fail?
Open up recruitment broadly and fairly, use welfare-to-work partners and diverse advertising channels, and provide mentoring, onboarding support, and patience during the initial months to ensure successful integration.
320. Can you bulls*it a bullsh*tter? PLUS! The European hiring crisis, Gen-Z perfectionism and Tik Tok training
Q: Question 1: am I naive putting in a free gym?
The hosts suggest testing options with vouchers (gym, cleaning service, or childcare) and running a short trial to gauge actual uptake and impact, emphasizing that wellbeing perks work best when integrated into a broader strategy.
319. Why Nobody is Listening to You at Work, with Strategic PR Director, Ellie Glason
Q: How can someone tell if their idea is actually interesting to others?
Stories that include emotion, tension, and a relatable arc with clear implications tend to be engaging; you should test the story externally, ensure it has a point of view, and frame it in a way that people can understand quickly.
319. Why Nobody is Listening to You at Work, with Strategic PR Director, Ellie Glason
Q: So you've worked with a lot of brands, what do you see as the most common mistakes founders make when they're trying to get their stories heard?
The biggest mistake is not thinking about the audience, not dialing down jargon, and not crafting a simple, story-led narrative that aligns with what media and readers find interesting.
