| Ep 184 – You don't need to have all the answers when you are a leader | 16 Jun 2025 | 00:11:58 | |
When we think of a confident leader, we might imagine someone who always knows the right thing to do straight away or who has all the answers. And then we feel bad because we like to think things through before responding, or we don't always know the answer.
Some of us can spend a fair bit of time negatively comparing ourselves to this fictional and seemingly perfect leader! That mental energy could be going somewhere far more productive so in this mini episode I want to unpick the myth that a good leader always has the answers.
This is Influence & Impact for Leaders with Carla Miller, the podcast that helps leaders like you increase your impact and build a happy and high performing team. Each episode delivers focused, actionable insights you can implement immediately, to be better at your job without working harder.

In this mini episode, I’m going to share with you a simple but truly effective way to dial back that overwhelm and make things simpler for yourself.

Khyati Sundaram’s answer to this is no and she says it’s time to leave CVs and biased hiring practices behind.

Khyati also gives some practical tips at the end for leaders working in smaller organisations who are responsible for hiring their own teams. MORE ABOUT KHAYTI Khyati Sundaram is the CEO of Applied, which helps companies remove bias from hiring processes by removing gendered words from job adverts, anonymising applications, holding structured interviews and hiring based on skills (rather than proxies on CVs).

This week, I’m joined by Alicia Navarro from FLOWN, a start-up who have created a deep work toolkit and deep work spaces that help knowledge workers get significant work done - and take joy in the journey.

| Ep 60 - From Specialist to Generalist | 15 Aug 2021 | 00:24:37 | |
As you develop your career and become more senior, there’s a good chance that you’ll move from being a specialist to a generalist. Instead of just managing people from your specialism, you can find yourself having to lead, manage and trust people from different specialisms who know more about their areas than you do. This transition from successful specialist to a successful generalist can be difficult to navigate. In this week’s podcast, I share:

| Ep 58 - The Challenges we Face as Women in the Workplace | 01 Aug 2021 | 00:44:11 | |
As a coach for women leaders, I focus on how as women we can take control of our careers. But I’ve never addressed on the podcast why we even need women’s leadership coaches and women’s leadership programmes. The playing field that women operate on in the workplace is shockingly unlevel. It’s time to acknowledge that and collectively take steps to change it. I discuss:

| Ep 56 - How to Stop Overthinking | 11 Jul 2021 | 00:56:59 | |
Are you an overthinker? Perhaps you ruminate on past situations, worry about future events or are fearful of the judgement of others? Overthinking can affect both our work and personal lives as well as how we show up with confidence as a leader. Our thoughts also directly impact the levels of daily stress we experience and how quickly we can recover from it. In reality, our minds are natural overthinkers if we let them be. Tahirih McLaren-Brown is helping people to take control and be the boss of their brain through mindfulness and meditation. We discussed:

| Ep 55 – Menopause in the Workplace | 04 Jul 2021 | 01:04:28 | |
Menopause is something that all women will experience in their life however it’s not something that’s well understood or openly spoken about. The symptoms of menopause will almost certainly affect how you work but it’s often seen to be a taboo subject which leaves women struggling in silence. In this week’s episode I interview Deborah Garlick from Henpicked Menopause who’s on a mission to ensure women are supported throughout menopause through awareness, education and workplace training. We discuss:
Throughout the interview, Deborah provided fantastic, practical tips for both individuals, leaders and organisations that will help to make a real difference for perimenopausal and menopausal women at work. Many of the questions on this podcast were inspired by discussions with my LinkedIn connections.

| Ep 54 - How to worry less about work | 27 Jun 2021 | 00:25:29 | |
Many managers and leaders that I work with mention anxiety as one of the things they struggle with, both personally and in the workplace. This week, I’m bringing back one of my most popular podcast episodes about how we can tackle these feelings of anxiety and be calmer and more confident at work. In this episode I share:
Although many of us experience anxiety, it’s not something that needs to rule your daily life or affect your leadership in the workplace. I hope you enjoy the meditation and please come back to it as a tool when you need it.

| Ep 52 Are you on the brink of burnout? | 13 Jun 2021 | 00:36:30 | |
“There are two types of people. Those who are burnt out, and those who are in denial about being burnt out” - Greg McKeown Burnout is on the rise and I’ve noticed, particularly since the pandemic began, that more and more people are on the path to burnout. With increased responsibilities and stress coupled with often unrealistic expectations, and the boundaries between work and life having completely disappeared, it’s easy to see why. In this week's episode, I’m helping you to recognise your own signs of burnout and what you can do about it. I share: Where burnout comes from and what causes it What the different stages of burnout are The types of behaviour that lead to burnout and how you can recognise your warning signs My personal story of burnout and how I now prioritise my wellbeing After listening to this episode, I encourage you to pause for five minutes and assess how you’re feeling right now and whether you’re on the path to burnout. If you recognise the warning signs and you’re ready to stop feeling mentally, physically or emotionally exhausted, then Rebalance might be the perfect next step for you. REBALANCE Rebalance is a 30 day, self-guided audio programme to bring you back from the brink of burnout. Designed to be listened to on a short walk each day, helping you to create space in your day for you. Each day, I share one idea, concept or tool that you can use. By the end of the 30 days, you’ll have come back from burnout, feel calm, energetic and rested, and have created a working life you love that fits into the life you desire.

| Ep 51 – Are we addicted to productivity? | 06 Jun 2021 | 00:22:44 | |
The way work is designed doesn’t work for so many of us for so many reasons. I believe that the value we place on productivity and ticking off the to do list is resulting in overwork, burnout and ineffective leaders. In this week’s episode, I’m sharing why I think it’s time that leaders take a step back, question the structure of their work and focus on what really makes an impact in their role. I’ve combined this one of my podcast episodes from 2019 – Hard work is not the answer. I speak about: The culture of productivity and why we should reimagine the way we work How you can challenge a common leadership belief held by many Why thinking, feeling and acting like a leader is more important than your to do list Practical steps for prioritising your own development as a leader Over investing in your role, working overtime and pushing yourself towards burnout isn’t healthy for you or your team. If you're working really hard and still not getting the results that you want then this episode is your encouragement to pause, rethink and make changes. In next week’s episode I’ll be extending on this theme and speaking about leadership burnout, what the signs are and how to prevent it. Look out for that on Monday 14 June.

| Ep 50 – Neurodiversity at Work with Professor Amanda Kirby | 30 May 2021 | 01:04:30 | |
In this week’s episode, I interview Professor Amanda Kirby about a fascinating topic – neurodiversity – and how we can create inclusive workplaces for everyone. Neurodiversity is an emerging subject especially in relation to adults and the workplace. Put simply, it defines the different ways we think, act and communicate. Some of us are neurodivergent which means the way we do these things is different from the “average” or “norm”. This influences our individual strengths and challenges. In the episode we discussed:
I hope this podcast helps you to understand neurodiversity better, consider how you can create an open and supportive environment for neurodivergent team members and embrace the strengths they bring to their work. If you’d like to assess your own neurodiversity, you can do it for free on the Neurodiversity App. Download it here: https://profiler.app/nd-app/ You can pre order Amanda’s book co-authored with Theo Smith.

| Ep 49 – Struggle and Leadership with Grace Marshall | 23 May 2021 | 00:53:25 | |
As a leader do you feel comfortable sharing when you’re struggling? In general, we don’t talk about struggle a lot but Grace Marshall wants to open up the conversation. This week on the Influence & Impact for Female Leaders podcast, I interviewed Grace about struggle, leadership and her new book Struggle: the surprising truth, beauty and opportunity hidden in life’s sh*ttier moments. We discussed:
As a leader, sometimes we put ourselves on a pedestal and hold high expectations of how we should handle difficult or uncertain situations. I hope this episode helps you to see struggle from a different perspective, understand that you don’t always need to show up perfectly or have everything figured out and that it’s ok to ask for support. As Grace says, what if struggle is precisely where the magic happens? Shouldn’t we embrace it if it’s where we can do our best, most important work?
MORE ABOUT GRACE Author of the award-winning How to be Really Productive, Grace Marshall is known for her ‘refreshingly human’ approach to productivity. Featured in The Guardian, Forbes and Huffpost, her work as a Productivity Ninja with global productivity training company Think Productive has helped thousands of people to replace stress, overwhelm and frustration with success, sanity and satisfaction.

| Ep 48 - Mental Health First Aid | 16 May 2021 | 00:55:03 | |
Everyone has mental health but not everyone feels comfortable talking about it, especially in the workplace. Danielle Bridge, founder and CEO of ABC Life Support CIC, is opening up the conversation on this week’s podcast. We discussed: What mental health first aid is and why it’s important Practical ways leaders can recognise and support mental health in the workplace How leaders can set boundaries when supporting their teams The rise of burnout and its impact on mental health How you can get help if you’re struggling mentally and emotionally Although many workplaces have programmes in place to support the health of their employees, they aren’t being used by many and there’s still a stigma attached to mental health issues. In fact, 90% of people who are off of work for mental health challenges cite a different reason. After listening to this episode, I encourage you to look at what support is available in your organisation and open up the conversation with your team. Take a few of Danielle’s ideas for supporting others and creating a safe space for mental health in your workplace. If you’re struggling with your mental health right now, please know that there’s help available. You can visit the Mind website for information, advice and access to support.

| Ep 47 – Fertility and the Workplace | 09 May 2021 | 01:12:58 | |
This week on the podcast I interview Cat Strawbridge, a fertility advocate and host of the Finally Pregnant Podcast, and Frankie Hockham, Fertility Network UK volunteer on infertility, pregnancy loss and childlessness. Infertility is a disease that affects 1 in 6 couples, the majority of whom are in the workforce, however it is not an issue that is talked about or well supported in organisations in the UK. We discussed: Our personal experiences with fertility treatments, loss and pregnancy while working How you can communicate your fertility situation to your manager or employer What you can do to get the support you need from your organisation Practical ways leaders can proactively support team members or colleagues having fertility treatments or dealing with infertility I hope this episode shines a light on the effect infertility and fertility treatments has on individuals in the workplace, gives both those affected and those supporting helpful tips and encourages you to take action to improve fertility policies in your organisation. If you would like support with infertility, fertility treatments, loss or childlessness, please reach out to The Fertility Network UK and use the resources they provide on their website: https://fertilitynetworkuk.org/ If you’d like to know more about fertility in the workplace, visit: https://fertilitynetworkuk.org/trying-to-conceive/fertility-at-work/ MORE ABOUT CAT Finally Pregnant Podcast host, community leader and fertility advocate Cat Strawbridge is a fertility patient who has experienced multiple rounds of fertility treatment and sadly pregnancy loss. Cat now supports the trying to conceive (TTC) community and those who are finally pregnant and parenting after infertility and loss. Cat has worked with corporates to embed fertility policies, education and training to staff and managers and supports to all those affected by infertility and loss.

Throughout her fertility journey, she was struck by how isolating the experience can be and how unprepared they were for what was to come due to lack of support and information. On sharing her story, several our friends, colleagues and even family came forward to talk about their secret struggles with fertility. Because of this, Frankie became a volunteer for the Fertility Network UK and now speaks publicly to raise awareness of infertility, pregnancy loss and childlessness. Frankie wants to help ensure others realise that they’re not alone. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cheska1981/ LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/francescahockham
Carla forgot to mention that she wrote a book on what she learnt from her fertility treatment called Whilst I was Waiting. You can buy that on Amazon kindle at https://rb.gy/fzspbe

| Ep 42 Are you running on autopilot? | 04 Apr 2021 | 00:33:45 | |
I’ve been running on autopilot lately, head down constantly focusing on the next task. So I’ve taken a few days out at the end of my financial year to stop and do some reflection and I found it really powerful. So in this episode of the Influence & Impact podcast I thought I’d share some of the powerful questions I use to reflect and course correct when I’ve been running on autopilot. We’ll be exploring what success actually means to us, uncovering what’s driving our behaviour and how we can wake up to and enjoy the moment more. The Meaning of Success "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success." --Ralph Waldo Emerson Find out more about my Confidence to Lead programme for women in their first few years of management gain confidence, communicate more powerfully and make more impact at work at https://www.carlamillertraining.com/confidence
