A Storyteller and a Leadership Coach walk into a bar… literally! In this episode, recorded in a Melbourne bar with a live audience, Jac sits down with Ral to unpack her latest book, Story Intelligence: The Craft of Authentic Storytelling Made Smarter with AI.

Together they explore why storytelling remains one of the most powerful leadership tools and how AI is elevating it in ways we’ve never seen before.

Ral introduces SQ (Story Intelligence) – a bold new concept she’s determined to see in the dictionary and reveals how leaders, creators and everyday humans can use SQ to communicate with clarity, authenticity and influence.

This is storytelling for a new era: real, relevant and reimagined. A big thank you to all the Keepers who joined us at this live recording.

Offsites should be the most energising day in your team’s year…So why do so many feel like a hostage situation with pastries?

You’ll learn:

• The 5 elements every high-impact 2026 offsite must include
• How to design an agenda that wakes people up (literally and mentally)
• Simple ways to link your offsite to real business outcomes
• Fresh ideas to inspire, align and fire up your people for the year ahead
• And the common mistakes leaders make that drain energy and kills momentum

If you want your next offsite to spark clarity, creativity, connection and actual behaviour change, this is the episode.Because teams don’t remember PowerPoints.They remember how the day made them think, feel and act.

Emotional intelligence used to be call soft skills, however the future just made EI the power skills.

As AI gets smarter, the leaders who can sense emotion, read the room, and stay regulated under pressure will be the ones still standing. Tech will expose emotional blind spots faster than you can say “feedback” the question is, will we use it to connect and influence… or to manipulate?

In this episode, Jac & Ral dive into the future of EQ: boundaried empathy (caring without carrying everything), emotionally intelligent organisations (not just leaders), and why EQ + adaptability is the new leadership currency.

If you think emotional intelligence is fluffy, you’re already behind. It's time to learn more or get automated out of relevance.

Have you ever been asked what your leadership style is? And were you clear, confident and articulate in your response? Most of us either don’t know it, or if we do, don’t communicate it well.

In this episode, Jac and Ral discuss the 10 traditional leader styles – what we think is relevant for today and what we think isn’t. Ral even comes up with a new style (watch this one take off!) and Jac shares 3 new leader archetypes for those leaders who need to be future focused… which is all of us!

Enjoy.

In this episode, Jac and Ral explore the concept of “leading from the side” - a leadership stance that sits between the traditional command-and-control approach and servant leadership (leading from behind).

What organisations need today is less about the single strong person out front giving all the orders, and less about the heroic self-effacing leader in the background, and more about someone who positions themselves alongside their teams enabling, supporting, influencing and co-creating rather than simply directing.

Listen in for practical tips on how to build real relationships, ask powerful questions, delegate ownership, and celebrate small moves in that collaborative direction.

So instead of breaking bad… we’re Breaking Good! In this latest episode, Ral opens up about a recent health scare that became the catalyst for big, positive change.

This isn’t her first rodeo, she knew for awhile she wasn’t at peak performance, her Oura ring told her… daily. Jac suggested throwing the ring away but Ral’s smart, she took responsibility and shares how she created a new healthier habit - and the reason it was easier this time by getting crystal clear on her why.

Together, Jac and Ral unpack how to use “Breaking Good” moments to create healthier habits, find motivation that lasts, and build a life that feels good from the inside out.
