| Can values shape organisational culture? ('Shift your perspective' series #5) (Ep. 23) | 06 Feb 2025 | 00:22:42 | |
In this episode of the Quiet Leadership Revolution podcast, Lucy Gower and Juliet Corbett delve into the power of values in shaping organisational culture. From aligning teams to driving decisions, we explore how values become more than words only when they’re fully embraced and clearly understood.

| The hidden reason your strategy isn't working (Ep. 42) | 23 Oct 2025 | 00:32:52 | |
Most leaders assume strategy fails because of lack of resources, time or clarity. But there’s a hidden reason that can trip up even the smartest leaders: ignoring the role of intuition. In this episode of the Quiet Leadership Revolution, executive coach and strategist Juliet Corbett and facilitator, trainer and coach Lucy Gower explore why strategy isn’t just about cognitive processing and analysis. Together they discuss:
Juliet also shares the backstory behind her new Strategic Flow Map - from her early career in strategy consulting to the turning points that reshaped her approach, including Cal Newport’s 'Deep Work', Michael Neill’s 'Inside-Out Understanding' and even some unexpected lessons following breaking her ankle. Listen in to discover how slowing down, sharpening focus and taking action combine to unlock strategic flow - and why missing one of these steps could be the hidden reason your strategy isn’t working.
