Talking with the Experts

What if the secret to better leadership wasn’t about having all the answers—but asking better questions?

In this episode of Talking with the Experts, host Rose Davidson welcomes Yosi Kossowsky, a seasoned executive coach with over 18 years of experience, to explore the power of curiosity in leadership. Yosi shares how curiosity can transform the way leaders connect, communicate, and create impact.

Many leaders believe their effectiveness comes from knowledge and quick decision-making. But Yosi reveals that true leadership presence emerges when leaders slow down, become curious, and engage in mindful inquiry. Instead of reacting or relying solely on expertise, curiosity creates space for deeper trust, greater understanding, and stronger collaboration.

Drawing on his experience as a former Chief Technology Officer and Senior Director of Talent Management, Yosi explains how curiosity reduces conflict, opens the door to more inclusive decision-making, and fosters a culture where people feel genuinely heard and valued. He combines insights from neuroscience, organizational development, and personal coaching to provide actionable techniques leaders can use immediately.

Whether you’re leading a small team or an entire organization, this episode will help you reframe leadership as a practice of curiosity—not control.

🎯 Key Takeaways:

• How to use curiosity to reduce reactivity and build deeper trust.
• Techniques to turn conflict into opportunity through mindful inquiry.
• A framework for integrating curiosity into everyday leadership conversations.

✨ Leadership doesn’t require having all the answers. It requires the courage to ask the right questions—and the curiosity to listen fully to the answers.

Could understanding your team's personalities be the key to scaling your business with more peace and less conflict?

In this powerful episode of Talking with the Experts, Rose Davidson sits down with globally respected master coach Mandy Keene, author of Understanding Personality, to uncover the #1 mistake leaders make when managing different personality types—and what to do instead.

Most business owners unconsciously hire people just like them. While that might feel comfortable, it can be a disaster for innovation, scalability, and team dynamics. Mandy shares why the best leaders do the opposite—they intentionally bring in team members who are radically different and learn to speak their language.

You’ll learn:

• Why your unique personality is your leadership superpower (and your blind spot)
• How self-awareness transforms leadership from conflict to connection
• What kinds of personalities you need on your team to scale your business
• How to use personality assessments strategically, not superficially

With over 40,000 coaching hours and decades of experience working alongside leaders like Tony Robbins and Russell Brunson, Mandy brings a grounded, heart-led approach to decoding behavior, building trust, and leading with emotional intelligence.

Whether you’re leading a team, hiring your first VA, or struggling with communication in your business, this episode will help you see yourself and others in a brand-new light.

🎯 Ready to lead from your strengths, not your stress? Tune in now and discover what your team truly needs from you.

What if burnout wasn’t a sign of weakness—but a call to realignment?

In this powerful episode of Talking with the Experts, Rose Davidson speaks with transformational coach and bestselling author Carrie West to explore the deeper reasons behind burnout and how aligned leadership can redefine success.

Carrie shares her deeply personal journey of hitting rock bottom and rebuilding her life and business from the inside out. Now, she helps high-achieving leaders break free from the pressure of perfectionism and hustle by teaching them how to tune into their nervous system, rewrite limiting beliefs, and lead from a place of authenticity and inner purpose.

You’ll learn:

• How to recognise burnout and understand what your nervous system is really telling you
• Why your internal stories are shaping your leadership—and how to rewrite them
• What it truly means to lead in alignment and build a business that reflects who you are

This conversation is a gentle yet profound reminder that true leadership begins with self-awareness—and that sustainable success doesn’t come from doing more, but from becoming more of who you really are.

Whether you’re experiencing burnout, navigating a pivot, or simply feeling disconnected from your “why,” Carrie’s insight will guide you back to your centre.
