Mini Series: Six Voices - Creating the Space #1/3
This three-part mini-series - Six Voices - revisits some of the most powerful moments from previous seasons of Highly Relational.
In each episode, six terrific guests offer their own unique take on one shared truth: that relationships aren’t just important to teamwork and leadership - they are the work.
About this episode
In this first episode we return to six guests from Season 1 - from coaches to creatives, researchers to executives - each illuminating a different facet of what it means to connect, collaborate, and truly belong at work.
Together they form a chorus of insight on how love, trust, humour, curiosity, and courage build the kind of teams that not only perform, but endure.
The six voices
- 🎙️ Rasheed Ogunlaru - Coach, author, and motivational speaker, on why leadership is built on humanity, not hierarchy
- 💗 Helena Clayton - Researcher and facilitator, exploring the radical power of love in organisational life
- 🎭 Neil Mullarkey - Comedian, author, and co-founder of The Comedy Store Players, on laughter as a bridge to trust and collaboration
- 🔄 Nairy McMahon - Director of CRR UK (Organisation & Relationship Systems Coaching), on curiosity, difference, and the living systems of team life
- 🚌 Joel Mitchell - Managing Director, Stagecoach South East, on care, community and leading large teams with heart
- 🌿 Anni Townend - Leadership partner and host of Leaders in Conversation, on creating safety, inclusion and courageous dialogue at the collaborative edge
Key themes
- Relationships as the foundation of leadership and culture
- Love, trust and belonging as performance drivers
- Humour, curiosity and difference as creative catalysts
- From “me” to “we” - how community builds resilience
- Why courageous conversations fuel collaboration and innovation
Looking ahead
Six Voices continues next week with Part 2, featuring guests from Season 2 - six further perspectives that expand this evolving conversation about how human connection powers team success.
