How do you build a team that's hard-wired for performance?
Dr Katharine See is a respected respiratory physician who is one of the youngest Directors/Heads of Unit in Australia. An 'accidental' leader, Katharine was tasked with building a respiratory team at one of Melbourne's hospitals from the ground up.
Katharine overcame her own feelings of impostor syndrome to build a world-class respiratory team in spite of the challenges that Covid-19 threw at them. Her secret? Passion, purpose and what she calls 'significant accountability'.
Enjoy,
Ant & Dave

In this episode we interview Harris Ryan, an executive chef who learned about leadership the hard way.
Cutting his teeth in some of Melbourne’s most renowned restaurants, cafes, events and corporate enterprises including Circa, the Prince, Richmond Hill Cafe & Larder, Pei Modern, The Big Group and more recently Toyota, he experienced the good, bad and ugly or working in the kitchen.
These days, Harris is passionate about changing hospitality culture and operations, and consults for businesses requiring assistance in strengthening their kitchen operations. This ranges from developing culinary skills in practice, planning and design, developing strategies to increase efficiencies in productivity, assisting in kitchen financial management, guiding owners in future planning and and most importantly building wholesome and happy kitchen environments built on respect.
We love this shit,
Ant & Dave
