    S10E224: Why We Forgive Bad Behaviour At Work with Lisa Martello (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    We spend a fortune on governance, tooling and RACIs, then lose our best people to one person who nobody will have a difficult conversation with.

    Read excerpt

    What if the fastest way to align a project team wasn't another 47-slide deck, but a two-minute film clip? In Episode 222, Dale and Val sit down with Dawn Mahan, project leader, educator and author, to unpack why movies are surprisingly powerful tools for project leadership, communication and team alignment.

    S10E221: Scaling a Consultancy: Mindset, Margins and the 30% Rule with Josh Stone (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Most consultancy owners can tell you their revenue. Very few can tell you their net profit. That gap is where the money quietly leaks out. In this Australia-only episode, Val sits down with Josh Stone, who grew a civil and structural consultancy from £3m to £30m over a decade, sold out, and now coaches 70+ engineering, surveying, architecture and town planning founders on how to build businesses that actually pay them back. We get into the commercial side we rarely cover on the show: Why 30% net
