About this episode

This bonus episode of the Happier at Work® Podcast is my reflection on the recent live podcast recording in London with Isabel Berwick, Working It Editor at the Financial Times and host of the Working It podcast.

In this episode, I share my key takeaways on leadership, workplace culture, and the future of work, including:

  • How to recognise your triggers and manage them as a leader
  • What distinguishes great leaders from mediocre ones
  • The role of ambition in careers and leadership
  • Different leadership styles and how each influences modern work
  • Why “job huggers” can hold businesses back
  • Common barriers to change in organisations
  • The importance of personal responsibility in career development
  • How AI is disrupting work and reshaping the future of work
