  Transition Is A Skill with Elina Stamataki (Greece)

  Sep 5, 202627 min

  Send us Fan Mail Change can be obvious on the outside, but the real work happens on the inside. We sit down with Lady Elena Stamtaki of Still Point Advisory to unpack why a new job, a new city, a promotion, or even retirement can feel destabilising even when it looks “right” on paper. The difference, Elena explains, is transition: the inner shift where your identity and nervous system have to adjust to uncertainty, not just a new set of tasks. We get practical about how to build clarity during career transition and leadership transition. Elena shares how she helps clients spot transferable skills they have been discounting for years, and why that single reframe can transform your CV, interviews, and self-belief. We also talk through three questions that create a roadmap: where you are now, what you are holding on to that no longer serves you, and who you want to become on the other side. The part that lands hardest is the reminder that confidence does not come first, action does. Elena offers a simple approach: take one small step today to gain just 1% more confidence than yesterday. We also explore how transitions play out differently across age groups, the double standards many women face during childbearing years, and why high achievers can still feel unworthy when unresolved emotional patterns are running the show. Subscribe, share this with someone in the middle of a change, and leave a review if it helps. What is one small step you can take today to move your transition forward?

  From Antigua To Global Screens: Building A Home For Authentic Culture with Elliot Paige (Antigua)

  Aug 29, 202632 minS2026

  Send us Fan Mail You can live a full, complex life and still never see anything like it on screen. That absence quietly teaches you who matters, whose choices count, and what you should and should not dream about. We sit down with Elliot Page to talk about storytelling as cultural power, starting with his childhood in Antigua and Barbuda, where imported television offered plenty of plots but almost no reflection of the people and rhythms he knew. From there, we follow the thread into bigger stakes: how small countries stay isolated when they cannot easily watch each other’s lives, how language shapes what communities feel able to say, and why “outsider” narratives can turn into a gaze that strips people of agency. We also unpack how development and aid systems can unintentionally reward staged simplicity, and why listening in local languages changes not only the words but the truth underneath them. Then we get practical. Elliot shares the thinking behind a new global streaming platform built for authentic cultural stories rather than generic mainstream formulas. We talk intellectual property and why filmmakers should keep their rights, the upload and licensing process, revenue sharing through subscriptions and advertising, a parent-controlled kids area, and the role of subtitles in expanding access. Along the way, we land on an unexpected takeaway: film can help keep endangered languages alive by making them visible, usable, and worth protecting. Subscribe for more conversations on culture, power, and the choices that shape a life, then share this with a filmmaker or storyteller who needs a home for their work.

  How To Lead Digital Change With People First with Belinda Rodman (Portugal & South Africa)

  Aug 22, 202626 minS2026

  Send us Fan Mail Change does not fail because the software is wrong. It fails because people do not feel safe, included or clear about what happens next. I’m joined by my friend Lady Belinda Rodman, a technology leader with nearly 40 years of experience from the punch-card era through global digital transformation, and we get practical about what actually makes change stick. We break down the “ABCs of business” through a set of C’s you can use immediately: connection, collaboration, communication, culture, creation and change. Belinda shares how she plans for adoption from the start by bringing HR in early, mapping how roles will shift, and making sure teams are involved rather than surprised. We also talk about why “marketing” your internal programme matters more than you think, from naming initiatives to celebrations that reduce stress and build real buy-in. Digital transformation shows up everywhere now, from banking to nonprofits to local shops, so we dig into cross-department alignment. Belinda explains how shared customer metrics and shared employee metrics cut through conflicting goals, and why continuous improvement beats multi-year strategies that end up on a shelf. You’ll also hear stories from a global bank building an agile operating model with a fully remote team, plus a community yoga studio turnaround powered by loyalty, merchandising and smart outreach. We close on the final C: caring. Empathy is not weakness; it is a leadership skill that helps you move fast without losing the human being in front of you. If you found this useful, subscribe, share the episode with someone leading change, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show. What’s one “C” you want to strengthen this month?

  Fear, Voice, And The First Step with Ihekoronye Chinedu (Nigeria)

  Aug 15, 202628 minS2026

  Send us Fan Mail Fear does not always shout. Sometimes it whispers, “Stay quiet,” “Don’t try,” “They will laugh,” until years pass and your life feels smaller than your potential. We sit down with Ihekoronye Chinedu, a Nigerian lawyer, writer, and motivational speaker, to talk about what it really takes to face your fears and reclaim your voice, especially when public speaking anxiety, rejection, or self-doubt has been running the show. He shares the moment his voice failed on stage as a child, and how that single experience shaped his choices through secondary school and university. The turning point comes after law school with one blunt question: if you are afraid to use your voice, how can you be a voice? From there we explore how courage is not about having zero fear, but about refusing to let fear make decisions for you. We also dig into a hard truth that frees a lot of people: if you do not take action, people will talk, and if you do take action, people will also talk. You will hear practical mentoring stories of young professionals stuck in career limbo, and how small, bold moves create momentum, confidence, and real opportunities. Inadu also breaks down his BOLD framework for overcoming fear and building courage: Believe your voice matters, Own your experience, Lean into discomfort, and Do the thing you fear most. If you are ready for mindset shifts that lead to action, this one will give you a clear next step. Subscribe, share with someone who is hesitating, and leave a review with the one fear you are choosing to face this week.

  A Board’s Job Is To Challenge Short-Term Profit with Katja Rieger (Switzerland)

  Aug 8, 202629 minS2026

  Send us Fan Mail Profit-only thinking sounds efficient right up until it produces a board that cannot see the people, risks, and long-term consequences sitting right in front of it. We sit down with governance specialist Katja Rieger to unpack what responsibility in the boardroom actually means: stewardship, ethical judgement, and decision-making that includes stakeholders rather than treating them as afterthoughts. We get practical about how boards work at their best. Katja Rieger explains why the CEO’s job is delivery, while the board’s job is challenge and balance, especially when quarterly targets squeeze out longer-term risk management. We talk UK corporate governance lessons, the value of independent non-executive directors, and why separating the chair and CEO roles matters for board independence and oversight. Then we move into the conversations many boards postpone until it is too late: cyber attack response, red lines, and the importance of agreeing roles and principles before a crisis hits. From there, we dig into board diversity and psychological safety, including why having more than one woman on the board changes the quality of discussion, improves risk awareness, and can strengthen investor confidence. We also name the real blockers: trust networks, comfort with the status quo, and hiring based on familiarity instead of competencies like courage, constructive conflict skills, and integrity. If you care about board effectiveness, responsible leadership, and governance that holds up under pressure, this is for you. Subscribe, share with a director or founder, and leave a review. What is one boardroom question you think every organisation should ask earlier?
