Jeremy Streten tells us about how to navigate the sometimes murky world of the law. The biggest issue is that you don’t know what you don’t know. For fifteen years Jeremy has been helping small business owners better understand the legal help they need.

Dr. Jenny Brockis goal is to become the Jamie Oliver of brain fitness. Are you constantly agonizing over how much exercise you’re getting? Are you overly concerned with your diet? Brain health is just as important.

We are in the midst of a change more profound than any other in human history. Technology is the great disruptor but my guest this week Paul Broadfoot thinks that word is terribly overused and misunderstood, especially in business circles. Paul is a management consultant based in Melbourne and on today’s episode we get to the heart of what true disruption really is.

Emotional intelligence is one of my favourite things to talk about. It’s something I spend thinking about more than just about any other concept. Muffy Churches shares my passion on this topic. She works as an executive coach but she likes to think of herself as a “thought therapist”. In this episode Muffy and I discussed our belief that emotional intelligence is as important for leaders as athleticism is for sportsman.

Rising to the top of corporate Australia hasn’t been easy. Jenny Purdie has worked in the mining and resource sector for over thirty years. Earlier this year she was appointed CEO of Adani Australia Renewables - a major player in the burgeoning green energy sector.

In this episode of the podcast Jenny talks about her rise through the corporate ranks and details the challenges of entering the C-Suite from an engineering rather than a business background. She also discusses how the energy and mining sector has changed for women over the last three decades and why having a family made her a better executive.

There are few things worse than being bored into catatonia by a PowerPoint presentation. No one really likes PowerPoint but everyone uses it. Why? It’s a crutch, pure and simple.

Gabrielle Dolan is here to rescue us from this plague of stultifying presentations. It’s time, she says, to chuck out the overhead projector and replace it with a low-tech alternative: good old-fashioned storytelling.

Is your network working for you? Are they pushing relentlessly to ensure you become the very best you can be? Chances are they are not - but you’re not alone. In this age of social media, where ‘friends’ and ‘connections’ come easily, many of us have made the mistake of valuing quantity over quality. We have drifted off track in our approach to networking.

Janine Garner is an expert in developing purposeful relationships and she’s here to help you create your perfect network. She calls it your ‘Core Four’ - your personal board of advisors that will bring out the best in you.

We live in 2017 and there is lots to celebrate. We’re richer than at any other time in history, information is at our finger tips, medicine and the essentials of life literally pour out of a tap.

Yet amongst all this apparent wealth we find ourselves slipping further and further into depression - our mental is plummeting.

My guest in this episode is here to tell us why - and more importantly, what we can do about it.

Angela Lockwood is the author of Switch Off and she has a bunch of ideas that will help us all live a calmer, more fulfilling life.
