"Recognising the responsibility that you have over your life is a constant evolution. Learning to take responsibility for what I can influence has probably been my biggest change."

That’s how my podcast guest Chris Baker views his journey into entrepreneurship. Chris is the founder and CEO of Water Mate™, a startup dedicated to helping people build resilience through cold water exposure.

Chris’s story is anything but predictable. Starting out as an aspiring young sheep farmer, Chris studied agriculture before taking a tangent into the world of business. Inspired by a transformative university experience and driven by personal loss, Chris ventured into the startup world with a mission to make a real difference with a simple but incredibly smart piece of new technology.

Join me and Chris as we talk about:

His farming roots

Cold water immersion

Startup challenges

Personal growth

Resilience

and

His future vision

"I've learnt that change is inevitable. You have to change because everything in life changes, nothing stays the same."

That’s how my latest podcast guest Adrian Goddard summarises his view of change within the sphere of leadership. Adrian, an experienced leader and business coach, has worked across various sectors within the UK, US, and Asia Pacific. Recognised for his strategic vision, Adrian is passionate about collaboration and has had numerous opportunities to drive positive change throughout his career.

Beyond his professional achievements, Adrian is deeply involved in DEI and community service. His guiding principle is to enable others to become the best version of themselves.

Join me and Adrian as we talk about:

Coaching

Culture

Communication

Adaptability

Personal growth

and

Diversity and inclusion

"Get comfortable with being uncomfortable"

This is how one of my latest podcast guests describes the secret moving on after being laid off.

The idea for this latest episode came to me after noticing many people openly sharing their "open to work" status on LinkedIn, alongside updates about their efforts to remain positive.

This sparked my curiosity about the less discussed aspects of the lay off experience, the professional and personal challenges that aren't typically aired, especially the emotions that accompany the inevitable changes that happen after being laid off.

For this episode I was joined by not one but two experienced leaders who between them have worked at some of the most prominent tech companies in the industry including LinkedIn, Microsoft, Oracle, Citrix, Okta and HubSpot.

Join me, Sacha Dekker and Jamie McDonnell as we talk:

• Coping with the change that unexpected job loss presents
• Finding solace and inspiration in hobbies
• Aligning job opportunities with personal values
• The importance of a strong support network
• The evolving role of AI in search, recruitment, hiring, learning and life

“Change is when you're constantly stimulated to think. No two days are the same."

That’s how my guest Rosi Petrova Charalambous describes the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of her life and her career in the software industry.

Originally from Bulgaria and now living and working in the UK, Rosi’s story is one of balancing her professional ambitions with a commitment to inspiring and encouraging others. Her journey is marked by transformative changes, from embracing her first leadership role to managing career and motherhood.

Join me and Rosi as we talk:

• Embracing unexpected opportunities and stepping up into leadership
• Navigating and conquering accent bias in a professional setting
• Using AI to enhance workplace efficiency
• Balancing career ambitions with personal well-being and family
• Relentlessly pursuing personal and professional growth
