June 10, 2025Ep 32 - The Visibility Paradox: How to Showcase Your Impact as a Values-lead, People-First Leader in a KPI-Driven Culture.
In this episode of Lead the Room, Briony and Lyndsey tackle one of the biggest frustrations facing values-driven leaders today: the visibility paradox. They explore how meaningful leadership work, the kind that actually drives high-performing teams, often goes completely unrecognized in organisations obsessed with metrics and KPIs. Through personal stories and insights, they reveal practical strategies for making your people-first leadership approach visible and valued, without compromising your authentic leadership style.

Key Takeaways:
Strategic Visibility for Leadership Impact: The most effective leaders don't hide their counter-cultural approach—they strategically showcase it. This helps leadership understand that your team's exceptional performance is directly linked to your intentional people-first approach.
External Validation Amplifies Internal Recognition: When your organisation can't see your leadership value, sometimes you need outside voices to articulate it for them. High-performing teams often benefit most from leaders who can build external advocacy networks.
Values-Driven Decision Making Creates Competitive Advantage: Leaders who explicitly connect their decisions to team values don't just build better culture—they create measurable business advantages. By documenting how values-based choices lead to better long-term outcomes, you demonstrate that high-performing teams are built on principle, not just performance metrics.

June 03, 2025Ep 31 - Confidence in Counter-Cultural Leadership: Embracing Your Leadership Style When It Doesn't Match Your Organisation.
In this episode of Lead the Room, Briony and Lyndsey tackle one of the biggest challenges facing leaders today: building confidence to lead differently when your approach goes against organisational norms. Through raw personal stories - including job interviews gone wrong and awkward meeting silences - they reveal how high-performing teams emerge when managers have the courage to reject conventional business practices. They share practical tips for translating counter-cultural leadership into language that organisations understand, while maintaining the authenticity that drives real team transformation. This isn't about rebellion - it's about having the confidence to implement proven management approaches that create sustainable results, even when they feel completely foreign to your workplace culture.

Key Takeaways:
Counter-Cultural Leadership Confidence Comes From Redefining Success Metrics: The most effective leaders learn that awkward silences, pushback, and discomfort are actually signs they're transforming team culture. When you shift from seeking external validation to recognizing these "negative" responses as evidence of positive change, you build unshakeable confidence in your leadership approach.
High-Performing Teams Need Leaders Who Translate Vision Into Organisational Language: Successful counter-cultural management requires fluency in your company's language while maintaining your unique approach. Listen carefully to how senior leaders describe success, then use their exact terminology to explain your team's results - this builds credibility without compromising your leadership values.
Leadership Transformation Happens Through Small, Strategic Experiments: Building confidence in different approaches starts with 15-minute experiments, not complete system overhauls. Try counter-cultural practices like emotional check-ins at meetings or new accountability methods, measure the results, and use these small wins to build credibility for bigger team transformations.

May 27, 2025Ep 30 - Be More Boring: Why Focussing on Consistency, Routines and Habits is Your High Performance Superpower
In this episode of Lead the Room, Briony and Lyndsey challenge conventional leadership wisdom by advocating for something unexpected. Being more boring. They reveal how consistency and standardisation are actually secret weapons for building high-performing teams, not obstacles to innovation. Through personal experiences and practical advice, they demonstrate how establishing reliable routines and processes creates the foundation that allows teams to truly excel and innovate. They share candid stories about transforming underperforming teams by implementing consistent practices and how focusing on "boring" foundational work is what truly drives sustainable high performance and creativity.

Key Takeaways:
Consistency Creates Freedom for Innovation: High-performing teams establish standardised processes and consistent routines that remove cognitive overhead, creating mental space for true creativity and innovation. Rather than stifling creativity, these "boring" foundations are what actually enable teams to focus their energy on solving bigger challenges.
Leadership Consistency Builds Trust and Safety: When leaders demonstrate reliability through consistent communication, meetings, and follow-through, they create the psychological safety essential for high performance. Team members who can predict their leader's behavior spend less energy managing uncertainty and more on delivering quality work.
Small Daily Habits Drive Transformative Results: Implementing simple 15-minute daily or weekly habits (like standardising a process, building your network, or prioritizing learning) consistently over time creates compound benefits that dramatically improve team performance and leadership effectiveness without requiring massive time investments.

May 20, 2025Ep 29 - Importance of community in leadership - loneliness
In this episode of "Lead the Room," hosts Bryony and Lyndsey dive into the often-unspoken challenge of leadership loneliness and share authentic stories about their own isolating experiences. They reveal how cultivating intentional leadership communities transforms both performance and wellbeing, offering practical strategies to build your support network through mapping leadership circles, creating vulnerable connections, and engaging in skill-based reciprocity. The episode demonstrates that even the most successful leaders need genuine community to navigate challenges effectively, showing that true high-performance comes not from solo heroics but from nurturing meaningful professional relationships that provide truth, expertise, and perspective when you need it most.

Key Takeaways:
Leadership can be profoundly isolating: Whether you're navigating difficult team transformations, dealing with confidential information you can't share, or trying a counter-cultural leadership approach. This loneliness isn't just an emotional burden; it directly impacts your performance and resilience. Having even one person who truly "sees" you can make all the difference between grinding down and breaking through.
Building your leadership community doesn't require huge numbers: It's about intentionally cultivating different types of relationships. Your inner circle needs just 2-3 "truth tellers" who'll give you honest feedback, a middle layer of functional experts with complementary skills, and an outer circle of perspective-broadeners who think differently from you. Creating this network takes vulnerability, but the alternative (isolation) is far more uncomfortable.
High-performing teams thrive on connection, not competition: Transformative leadership happens when people genuinely support each other, share skills reciprocally, and aren't afraid to be vulnerable about challenges.

May 13, 2025Ep 28 - Stress Signals: Recognising When Your Team Needs Support
In this Mental Health Awareness Week episode of Lead the Room, Briony and Lyndsey reveal game-changing approaches for spotting when team members are struggling with mental health challenges. They challenge the traditional "open door policy" mentality that puts the burden on team members to speak up when they're not okay. Through personal stories and practical strategies, they demonstrate how attentive leadership creates the psychological safety that transforms ordinary teams into extraordinary ones.

Key Takeaways:
Communication Pattern Recognition Is Leadership Gold: High-performing teams are led by people who actively monitor subtle changes in team communication. That quiet team member who's normally full of ideas? Their silence might be your early warning system that requires just 15 minutes of genuine connection to address before performance issues emerge.
Work Pattern Shifts Signal Team Wellbeing: When your typically organized star performer starts missing deadlines or your punctual team member begins working unusually late hours, these aren't just productivity issues - they're wellbeing red flags that require curious, non-judgmental conversations.
Strategic Vulnerability Creates Psychological Safety: Leaders who appropriately model vulnerability create the foundation for high-performing teams by normalizing wellbeing conversations. This isn't about oversharing personal details, but rather showing authentic leadership that acknowledges when things aren't perfect, creating the community that drives sustained performance when challenges emerge.

May 06, 2025Ep 27 - Remote But Not Distant: Leading Hybrid Teams with Values at the Center
In this episode of Lead the Room, Briony and Lyndsey tackle the reality of hybrid and remote work, exploring how counter-cultural leadership approaches can transform virtual teams from disconnected to deeply connected. They share authentic stories about their own struggles and successes with remote leadership, revealing that the challenges of hybrid work aren't obstacles, they're opportunities for intentional team design. Through candid conversations about their personal experiences, they demonstrate how thoughtful leadership practices can bridge the virtual gap and create teams that thrive regardless of physical location.

Key Takeaways:
Intentional Design Transforms Remote Teams: High-performing remote teams don't happen by accident. The most successful virtual teams intentionally design their communication, meetings, and connection points rather than trying to replicate in-person experiences. Leaders who see remote work as a competitive advantage rather than a challenge build stronger team cultures and achieve better results.
Values-Based Rituals Create Connection: Remote teams that implement regular values-based check-ins and virtual rituals build trust and connection that rivals or exceeds in-person teams.
Energy Management Beats Always-On Culture: The most effective remote leaders establish clear team agreements around energy management, focusing times, and collaboration windows. By modeling healthy boundaries and creating intentional space for both connection and deep work, leaders counteract the harmful "always available" culture that leads to burnout in remote settings.

April 29, 2025Ep 26 - Team growth goals: Why they matter for building high performing, innovative teams everyone wants in on
In this episode of Lead the Room, Briony and Lyndsey challenge traditional approaches to professional development, revealing how truly high-performing teams integrate learning into everyday work rather than relying on standalone courses. Through honest conversations and sharing personal experiences, they demonstrate how reframing growth as an ongoing practice can transform team culture, innovation, and performance. They share their own journeys from course-collecting to meaningful development and offer a refreshing approach to leadership development that promotes continuous growth aligned with both individual aspirations and organisational goals.

Key Takeaways:
Growth Goals Drive Team Performance: High-performing teams intentionally integrate growth and learning into delivery goals rather than treating development as an add-on. When leaders help team members identify and pursue personalized growth opportunities aligned with their strengths and aspirations, they create cultures of continuous improvement and innovation.
Development Beyond Courses Changes Everything: Traditional leadership approaches often equate development with attending courses, but exceptional leaders recognize that the most powerful growth happens through carefully chosen projects, cross-team collaborations, and planned innovation time—with accountability built in.
Intentional Learning Culture Creates Sustainable Results: Leaders who dedicate regular time (even just quarterly innovation days) to team learning and experimentation foster psychological safety, strengthen internal relationships, and unlock creativity. This intentional approach not only enhances individual growth but builds the team capabilities needed for future challenges.

April 22, 2025Ep 25 - Leadership dilemma: boundaries and trust How saying no will help you build credibility and performance
Episode 25
In this episode of Lead the Room, Briony and Lyndsey challenge the conventional belief that saying "yes" to everything builds career success, revealing how effective boundary-setting actually creates stronger leadership credibility and more focused teams. Through personal stories and tactical advice, they demonstrate how the courage to decline misaligned opportunities transforms team culture, trust, and performance. They share candid experiences about their journey from people-pleasing to boundary-setting leadership and offer a counter-cultural approach that promotes sustainable excellence without compromising your priorities.

Key Takeaways:
Strategic "No's" Build Leadership Credibility: When you decline opportunities that don't align with your team's priorities, you demonstrate that your "yes" truly means something. This consistency builds trust with both your team and stakeholders, creating the foundation for high performance.
Boundaries Function as Leadership Development: Teaching your team to prioritize effectively by modeling healthy boundaries cultivates a culture where everyone feels empowered to focus on what truly matters rather than being perpetually distracted.
15 Minutes of Daily Boundary Practice Transforms Teams: Contrary to the belief that culture change requires extensive time investment, consistently practicing boundary-setting for just 15 minutes daily can completely transform team dynamics within three months.

April 15, 2025Ep 24 - Stop Pushing Through: A Better Way to Manage Team Energy
In this episode of Lead the Room, Briony and Lyndsey challenge the common workplace mentality of "pushing through" busy periods, revealing how truly high-performing teams prioritize energy management over sheer productivity. Through personal stories and practical advice, they demonstrate how small changes in how we approach work can transform team culture, wellbeing, and performance. They share candid experiences about the damage caused by the "push through" mentality and offer a counter-cultural approach to leadership that promotes sustainable excellence without burnout.

Key Takeaways:
Energy Management Beats Pushing Through: High-performing teams focus on managing energy rather than endlessly pushing forward. Constantly "powering through" not only robs us of joy but actively decreases performance and creativity over time.
Understanding Energy Patterns Transforms Teams: Leaders who take time to learn when their team members perform best can make simple adjustments with profound impacts.
Team Energy Boundaries Drive Sustainable Results: Implementing practices like "Focus Wednesdays" with no meetings allows teams to protect their deep work time. Counter to expectations, these boundaries actually improved effectiveness on other days because team members weren't constantly playing catch-up.

April 08, 2025Ep 23 - How to bring people together for purpose, connection and impact
In this episode of Lead the Room, Briony and Lyndsey unpack what it really takes to bring people together in a way that drives connection, collaboration, and performance. They explore why so many meetings feel like a waste of time, how leaders can shift their approach to make every interaction more impactful, and the key strategies for building high-performing teams that thrive. Using personal experiences and real-world leadership insights, they break down the common pitfalls that hold teams back and share practical, actionable techniques to create meetings that energize, engage, and drive results.

Key Takeaways:
Meetings Should Create Momentum, Not Drain Energy – Too many teams get stuck in unproductive, repetitive meetings. Structure conversations in a way that drives clarity, decision-making, and action.
Great Leaders Bring People Together with Purpose – The best teams thrive on shared goals and trust. Leaders should lead meetings that foster collaboration, accountability, and a high-performance mindset.
High-Performing Teams Don’t Just Communicate—They Connect – True leadership is about creating an environment where people feel heard, valued, and motivated.
