How much do you actually know about yourself?

Not your job title. Your personality test. Your strengths assessment.

You.

Dr. Lauren Borden, PhD, PCC is a holistic leadership coach with a PhD in industrial-organizational psychology. She brings together the science of human behavior with intuition, leadership coaching and Human Design.

And she’s coached me.

What I love about Human Design is how individual it gets, incredibly quickly. How you make decisions. Where your energy comes from. What you naturally bring that someone else might not.

Understanding how you’re wired is the key to leadership for me.

The word soul comes with a lot of labels, woo-woo, spirituality but to me, your soul is simply your humanity.

Your values, your beliefs, your integrity, your intuition, your resilience, your empathy, your energy.

Every one of us has our own version of these things. They evolve throughout our lives, and they shape how we show up every single day.

In this episode, I'm joined by former Microsoft and GitHub leadership executive, executive coach and author Rachel Salzberg for a conversation that challenges the way we think about leadership.

Rachel believes the way we work and lead needs to evolve. Her message is simple: leadership is an inside job. Through her ReSoul Revolution, she's on a mission to connect like-minded leaders who believe that changing ourselves is where changing organisations begins.

Together we explore:

• Why leadership starts with your inner state.
• What "soul" really means in a business context.
• Why your energy sets the tone for your team.
• How calm and clarity become a leadership advantage.
• Why becoming a better leader starts with becoming a better human.

Rachel Salzberg is a former Microsoft and GitHub leadership executive, executive coach, author of The ReSoul Revolution and founder of ReSoul Labs.

Through coaching, speaking and leadership development, she's building a movement around conscious leadership, helping leaders reconnect with their humanity and redefine what great leadership looks like.

The best leaders earn the right to have tough conversations through an unconditional commitment to their people.

Together we explore:

• Why feedback only works when your intention is crystal clear.
• Why trust earns you the right to be direct.

• Why the best teams don't avoid difficult conversations. They know how to have them.
• Why an unconditional commitment to your people changes everything.

Most of us think we're protecting ourselves.

The reality is we're often making it harder to build trust, lead people and work well together.

We all get defensive. The question is whether we notice it.

In this episode, we unpack the five defensive stances we all fall into, why awareness is the first step towards change, and how becoming just a little less defensive can transform the way we work with other people.

I'm joined by Rich Watkins, someone I've known for nearly 20 years and one of the most thoughtful people I know when it comes to how humans work together. Rich has helped thousands of leaders and teams build stronger relationships, navigate conflict and collaborate more effectively.

Work Therapy | The Sunday Sessions is about the stuff that doesn't usually make it onto the polished, 'professional' version of you, and why it's actually one of your greatest assets.

So lucky to chat openly with my amazing friend Amy. HR leader, mother of two, one of the warmest and most fearless people I know and someone who has been through the kind of thing that changes you forever.

We've known each other for over 20+ years. Two unconventional parenting journeys, two different kinds of hard, and through all of it, a version of life keeps going. Honest, warm, and a lot more where this came from. Part 1.

This is Work Therapy | The Sunday Sessions. I'm Katie Martin, and I've been running agencies for 24+ years. I'm also 12 years sober and the mum of a disabled boy. None of that is on my LinkedIn. All of it is why I'm here.
This podcast is about the stuff that doesn't make it onto the polished version of you, and why it's actually your greatest professional asset. Every other Sunday, I talk to someone who's lived a life, or changed a life and asks how it made them better at work.
First up is my good friend Luke Norton who got long COVID, hit rock bottom and came out the other side doing something he calls Imaginationade. It's deeper and weirder than coaching. You'll see what I mean.
Let's go.
