“Julia, I am just wondering, who do you ask for support when you need it?” This is the question that set Julia Jones on her journey to becoming a leader in experiential horse-led learning.

Her business, Altezza People, helps teams develop, grow and overcome obstacles by removing them from the office and getting them to interact with horses.

With a vast amount of experience in managing high-performance teams and creating development programmes, Julia says the experience can help people become more self-aware, learn how to modify their behaviour, and how to become more emotionally intelligent. 

In this episode of the How to Thrive podcast, co-hosts and sisters Claire Sanders and Helen Silver-MacMahon, learn more about Julia's emotional introduction to the concept, how horse-led learning actually works, and they get Julia's three top tips for thriving.

We all want to be more productive, but are we going about it the right way?

Working longer hours, filling our schedules with back-to-back meetings, and ploughing on through lunch might feel like we're doing more, but there is good evidence that actually taking a break can lead to us being more productive.

Caitlin Rozario is an expert in this field. Built on a foundation of her personal experience with an allergic reaction that left her temporarily blind, she went on to launch Interlude, the anti-toxic productivity bootcamp.

The whole ethos is helping ambitious teams make productivity more sustainable and less toxic.

In this episode of the How to Thrive podcast, co-hosts and sisters Claire Sanders and Helen Silver-MacMahon, cover the benefits of micro-breaks, the "logic defying" billable hour, and Caitlin gives her three top tips on how to thrive.

"Every company has a culture, whether you intentionally design it and live it or not, but it's very important to make sure that everybody understands what it means to them and how you measure it."

How many of us have worked somewhere that claims to have a good culture and great values, only to find the reality doesn't live up to the ambition? Manu Kanwar puts a huge value on the work that goes into creating a great company culture.

In this episode of the How to Thrive podcast, co-hosts and sisters Claire Sanders and Helen Silver-MacMahon, delve into Manu's ideas about creating and maintaining a great culture, the importance of measurement, and why the legal profession seems to struggle so much in this area.

They also talk emotional intelligence, purposeful alignment, and meditation!

It may seem odd, but Charlie Lawson, an expert in networking, does not enjoy networking at all. In fact, he describes himself as an "unnatural networker".

And in many ways, that is Charlie's strength; he helps other unnatural networkers, by coming from the same starting point they do, a complete dislike of networking.

In this episode of the How to Thrive podcast, co-hosts and sisters Claire Sanders and Helen Silver-MacMahon, probe Charlie on how he overcomes his dislike of networking events, how he has made a career out of helping others, and get some top tips on how to get the most out of networking situations.

Charlie has two books available to buy: The Unnatural Networker and The Unnatural Promoter.
