Beyond the Noise

What if burnout doesn’t arrive as a breakdown — but as adaptation?

In this episode of Beyond the Noise, we sit down with Dr. Tatiana Ryklina, psychologist, academic lecturer, and executive coach, to explore what really happens before burnout — the part most leaders don’t notice.

We talk about:
• Burnout in leadership and high performers
• Mental health at work and why it’s often invisible
• How the mind tries to protect us by normalising stress
• The emotional cost of always “pushing through”
• Why psychological safety matters more than motivation
• How leaders can prevent burnout — without needing more time, tools, or policies
• Small daily habits that support long-term resilience
• How to support your team without becoming their therapist

This is not a conversation about weakness.
It’s about sustainable leadership, self-awareness, and mental health that starts with being human.

🎧 Listen if you’re strong, capable, reliable — and quietly tired.

In this episode of Beyond the Noise, we explore neurodiversity at work and what happens when leaders mean well, but still miss something critical.

Joined by Liv Blaney and Sam Pringle, we talk about neurodiversity not as a policy, label, or checkbox, but as a lived leadership reality shaped by assumptions, invisible rules, and everyday communication.

Through real workplace examples, this conversation looks at:

• why “clear instructions” aren’t always clear to everyone

• how good intentions can still lead to unintended harm

• the invisible rules that quietly shape performance, trust, and careers

• what leaders often don’t notice and why that matters

This episode isn’t about blame or perfection.
It’s about seeing what’s usually unseen and leading with greater awareness because of it.

Liv Blaney is a leadership coach and group coaching facilitator with a background in investment banking.
Sam Pringle is a coach, coach supervisor, and former CEO with experience across pharma and the third sector.

Together, Liv and Sam are co-authors of the upcoming book:

Change isn’t something leaders get through anymore — it’s something they live inside of.

In this episode of Beyond the Noise, change practitioner Sergey Helmar joins us to challenge how leaders think about resistance, uncertainty, and transformation.

We explore why resistance isn’t opposition, but a system response — and how leaders who learn to work with tension instead of fighting it create stronger, more resilient teams.

This conversation covers:

• Why constant change exhausts teams and leaders alike

• The hidden cost of trying to “push through” resistance

• How reframing resistance unlocks better leadership decisions

• The inner mindset required to lead in uncertainty

A must-listen for leaders navigating complexity, transformation, and the human side of change.

🎙️ “Leaders must not fight resistors.”

Stepping into management often brings an unexpected challenge: the support you once relied on disappears overnight.
In this episode, we sit down with Piotr Tomaszewski, Design Manager and Leadership Coach, to unpack the “support gap” new managers face, and what truly helps bridge it.

Piotr shares his own experience transitioning from senior designer to manager, the moment his mentor became a peer, and why traditional leadership training often falls short.
We discuss peer networks, relational skills, cultural nuances, and how new managers can measure success through connection rather than output.

A grounded, honest conversation for anyone navigating their first years of leading people.
