Episode 2: Managing Conflict in the Workplace – How Conflict Can Impact the Bottom Line
Conflict is inevitable. Poorly managed conflict is expensive.
This conversation explores how interpersonal issues can quietly erode performance and culture, and what you can do about it.
Expect insights into:
The true cost of unresolved conflict
How to identify and manage early signs
Practical frameworks to turn conflict into collaboration
The leadership behaviours that make all the difference
Episode 3: Building Confidence in Your Line Managers – And How This Starts With You
Line managers are the cultural glue of your business — but they need guidance, too.
This session looks at how your leadership approach shapes their development and influence.
We’ll discuss:
Where confidence gaps come from in line management
The ripple effect of leadership behaviours
Coaching techniques to build trust, not just authority
How to unlock your managers’ potential, without overwhelming them
Episode 4: A Dignified Exit – Empowering People to Leave Well
Exits are inevitable, but dignity is a choice.
Whether voluntary or not, the way someone leaves your business says as much about your culture as how they enter it.
Join us as we unpack:
How to handle exits that protect brand, morale, and wellbeing
The psychological impact of poor exits
Building alumni goodwill
Why “the end” is actually the start of your reputation.
