The Power of Storytelling in Leadership Communication with Carmen Sederino

Season 11 · Episode 10

Sunday, March 29, 2026 • Duration 47:14

What makes a message land?

In this episode, I sit down with Carmen Sederino, founder of Illuminated Story, to explore why storytelling is one of the most underused leadership skills today.

Carmen brings a rare perspective. With a background in performing arts and nearly two decades in corporate leadership, she works with CEOs and executives to strengthen how they communicate when it matters most.

We talk about the gap between delivering information and actually connecting with people. Why data alone rarely sticks. And how leaders can use story, presence, and energy to bring their message to life.

This is a practical conversation on executive presence, communication under pressure, and how to move from simply presenting information to creating real impact.

If you lead people, present often, or carry responsibility for communicating change, this episode will give you a clearer way forward.

From Breakdown to Purpose: James Chisholm's New Lens on Leadership

Season 11 · Episode 9

Sunday, March 22, 2026 • Duration 49:57

In this episode of Future Fit Leadership, I sit down with James Chisholm, co-founder of Peeplcoach, for a conversation that goes well beyond traditional leadership advice.

James shares his journey from leading in a global corporate environment to experiencing a mental health breakdown that forced him to step back and reassess everything. What emerges is not a story of failure, but one of clarity. A shift from chasing results at all costs to building leadership that is human, sustainable and grounded in purpose.

We talk about the reality many leaders don’t speak about. Burnout that goes unnoticed. Cultures where people stay silent. And the pressure to perform that quietly ties self-worth to outcomes.

James challenges the way we think about resilience. Not as pushing through at any cost, but as self-management. Knowing when to step forward, when to slow down, and when to ask for help.

We also explore what leadership needs to look like now. Empathy not as a soft skill, but a commercial one. Coaching not reserved for executives, but essential for emerging leaders. And the growing expectation that people can show up as themselves at work without judgement.

There’s a clear message in this conversation. The old playbook is no longer enough. Human-centred leadership is not optional. It is what will define the organisations that attract, retain and grow the best people.

If you lead people, or aspire to, this is a conversation worth your time.

4000 Sundays: Burnout, Brain Drain, & Why Leaders Must Walk the Wellbeing Talk with Dr Goodwin - Holiday Replay

Season 10 · Episode 3

Sunday, January 25, 2026 • Duration 59:34

What if you only had 4000 Sundays in your lifetime? And what if the way you work today is quietly stealing them away?

In this conversation, Dr Kristy Goodwin takes us inside her own life-altering wake-up call — a moment in a Code Red hospital ward that forced her to confront burnout, mortality, and the “success tax” so many high performers pay.

Kristy shares why our bodies keep score, how to stop crawling to Friday and start arriving at Sunday fully alive, and why protecting your focus, energy, and relationships is non-negotiable if you want to lead into the future.

This is not just about wellbeing, it’s about the kind of leaders we choose to become — human-first, sustainable, and fiercely intentional.

🎧 Listen now and ask yourself: how many Sundays do you have left, and how do you want to spend them?

The Future of Work is Family Friendly - with Jodi Geddes - Holiday Replay

Season 8 · Episode 7

Sunday, January 18, 2026 • Duration 40:17

In this episode of Future Fit Leadership, I sit down with Jodi Geddes – co-founder of Circle In, keynote speaker, and a passionate advocate for caregivers in the workplace.

Jodi shares her remarkable journey of building (and selling) a global platform that supports working parents and caregivers across life stages – from parental leave to menopause and beyond. We talk about the reality of returning to work after children, what true empathy in leadership looks like, and how burnout can creep up on even the strongest among us.

Jodi opens up about her personal experiences with burnout, the power of vulnerability, and why creating a psychologically safe, family-friendly workplace isn’t just nice to have – it’s essential. We also explore how leaders can role model care, build trust through storytelling, and rethink flexibility in a hybrid world.

This is a must-listen for leaders ready to embrace whole-person leadership and for anyone navigating the beautiful, messy juggle of career and caregiving.

From maternity leave side hustle to Shark Tank and scent tech innovation, their journey blends science, storytelling, and serious startup grit.

The Active Workday Advantage with Lizzie Williamson - Holiday Replay

Season 6 · Episode 2

Sunday, December 28, 2025 • Duration 43:12

Are you tired of feeling sluggish, achy and uninspired at work? The solution may lie in embracing micro movements throughout your day. Lizzie Williamson, a former professional dancer and wellness expert, shares her transformative approach to revitalizing the workday through simple, yet powerful bursts of activity.

Lizzie's journey began 15 years ago when she found herself in the grips of postnatal depression. The very activity that had once brought her so much joy - dancing - had become an immense struggle. Determined to reclaim her wellbeing, Lizzie started with the smallest of steps - literally.

"I just kept doing these little plies at my kitchen counter," Lizzie recalls. "Even though my head said it was pointless, there was something about that tiny sense of achievement that kept me going." This simple act of self-care was the catalyst for Lizzie's remarkable transformation and the birth of her global movement.

Lizzie's mission is to inspire a global "active workday revolution," empowering leaders and employees to embrace movement as an integral part of the modern workplace. Her book, "The Active Workday Advantage," provides a roadmap for organizations to implement simple, yet impactful changes.

"The way we're working in this century is not working," Lizzie declares. "It's time to challenge the status quo and create workplaces that prioritize the physical and mental wellbeing of our people."

So, are you ready to unlock your inner pharmacy and revolutionize your workday? Start with a simple micro movement today, and watch the transformation unfold.
