Join us, Crystal Danbury and Elisa Lynch, and our fab guest Ellie Thomas.

We dig into Ellie's incredible question about whether our looks affect our perception of ourselves and others perception of us!

It's a big convo! We talk about body size, age, make-up and clothes....and not just from a female perspective, we talk in the round. 

It's a GREAT chat and we hope you really enjoy it!

Stay Safe!

Rhaynukaa Soni, one of the few that make up the 1% of women Chartered Fellows in Safety, joined us (Crystal Danbury and Elisa Lynch) to ask her burning question: 'How do we change Sectors in the Safety Profession?'. 

We chat about sectors, experiences, views on 'special sectors' and much more...we possibly render at the end but WHAT'S NEW!

We offer five key things you should be doing to change sectors (but only if you want to!).

As always, the content is unedited, honest and it's a learning space. 

Thanks for listening, and we hope you enjoy!

Welcome back to SPEAK! 

It's 2023 and we, Crystal Danbury and Elisa Lynch, are kicking of with a request to SPEAK! about Imposter Syndrome.

It affects us all, so come along for the ride as we open up about our very different experiences with it, we share a helpful article and share tips for tackling it.

We hope you enjoy and it helps you or someone you care about!

If you fancy watching it instead of having a wander with it in your ears, you can find the video of the pod here: https://youtu.be/KrY6QFcknV4 

As always, this is not edited; perfection is not the aim, reality is!

Thanks a bunch for your support in 2022 and we hope you had a wicked Christmas and NYE!

Join us, Elisa Lynch and Crystal Danbury, as we recap on Prt 1, chat about things looking worse when they are actually getting better, dive into managing up and then get stuck into managing performance conversations. 

We also talk about giving difficult feedback to help people create REAL development plans for themselves...as difficult conversations are not meant to be unkind conversations, they are meant to help!

We meander for the first quarter, but we commit to being unedited as PERFECTION IS NOT THE AIM here, authenticity is. 

So, come join us and maybe pick up a tip or two, or at least a laugh!

Lastly, thank you for your support and ears - it means the world to us!

Join us, Crystal Danbury and Elisa Lynch, for the first half of the SPEAK! podcast on difficult conversations.   

We hear a lot about the need for soft skills so we wanted to unpack 'why' we need them. 

We share our own stories about when we were between a rock and a hard place and some tips to help start a difficult conversation or create a feeling of trust so the conversation is more fruitful.  

Come with us as we unpack it!  Part 2 drops in two week (as usual).

To watch it head to our Youtube Channel https://youtu.be/z0mbr3izb5A

Join us, Crystal and Elisa, as we talk about Blame and Accountability!   We LOVED this one!!!

Come with us as we explore ALL THE questions!

What does blame block, if anything? How are they different? Are they both useful? Which is harmful or helpful? Which one creates difference or damage? Can we escape blame, and should we? What are their roles and impacts in businesses and safety? Is accountability enough?

We share some great work examples of how this topic has played out in our careers, as well as quotes and story's. So, there is plenty to take away.  

It is a GREAT episode; we hope you love it too!

After so many emails, messages and love regarding last weeks Suicide Awareness Special, we decided to do the part 2 we waffled on about at the end! LOL! 

So, join us all again as we move on from our lived experiences regarding suicide and talk about how you come back from the darkest places, our 'I wish I said this last week' moments and we respond to a tweet about Suicide. We had SO many thoughts!  

Such rich conversation again!  A special thank you to Damien for being here with us and being amazingly open!

As always, we don't edit as perfection is not the aim. It's open, honest and a learning space. So, ENJOY!

Fancy watching us instead, got for it: https://youtu.be/dLVvx7YT-fQ

Join us and our amazing guest Damien McMullan as we dive into the taboo topic that is Suicide.  We hear a lot from surviving family and friends of people lost to suicide, but rarely do we get to hear from those that lived through it or were saved by others.....until today.  

We have two counts of lived experience on this call and man do we share!  We have real stories, take-aways, tips, stats and observations. T

he best thing is, we (Crystal and Damien) are grateful every day that we are still hear. It's a point we didn't get to, but it has to be said - we LOVE every day that we nearly didn't have.  As always its unedited, honest, a learning environment and we hope you or someone you love takes something from the episode.  Lastly, sorry about the 30second ramble at the end about extending the call. There is an important number just after that so bare with us.  

Thanks for listening! 

If you fancy watching though: https://youtu.be/1o3AyIMypx4

Join us, Elisa and Crystal, as we chat about whether we should care about the term 'New View' in the safety context. We chat about what we fundamentally believe safety is about, and how being precious or negative can cost us in the long run in terms of progression.

Warning: There is a rant about social media Trolls contained in this podcast! It's so ranty but SO valid!

Fancy watching the pod, crack on: https://youtu.be/od7HI4r6nEs

Join us as we talk all things curriculum; as usual this is unedited, real and authentic. 

We chat about what's missing for us, what we'd remove from all course, what we'd put in all courses, what courses we have loved and hated!

We also chat about how we treat people, investigations, motivations etc As usual, there is a tangent or 50. 

Oh, and you may want to jump passed the first few minutes as Elisa is losing it over a fly....ha! Just saying!

Enjoy!
