  • E47 | Never Lose an Employee again PART 2 with Joey Coleman

    Award-winning speaker and author Joey Coleman returns with his strategic roadmap to attract, retain, and inspire employees – from first impression to lifelong advocacy. His eight phases of employee experience map the full journey an employee takes with an organisation, from considering a role to becoming a loyal champion of the brand. 

    Each phase – beginning with the letter “A” to represent the gold standard in employee engagement – highlights a critical moment to engage, support, and build trust with employees, ensuring they feel valued and empowered every step of the way. 

    Takeaways 

    • Employee experience begins long before the first official day on the job. 
    • The job offer phase is a two-way commitment, not a transaction. 
    • New hire doubt is common – proactive communication helps ease their uncertainty fast. 
    • Design a first day that excites, reassures, and builds immediate connection. 
    • Acclimation requires time, clarity, and ongoing support to build real confidence. 
    • Loyal employees deserve attention and appreciation to remain fully engaged long-term. 
    • Advocacy only happens when employees feel valued, trusted, and deeply connected. 
    • Promotions are transitions – re-onboarding is essential to set them up for success. 
    • Small, thoughtful actions build loyalty more than grand gestures ever will.

  • E46 | Never Lose an Employee again PART 1 with Joey Coleman

    Bestselling author and renowned speaker Joey Coleman returns to The Evolution Podcast to shares his thoughts on how the first 100 days can make or break employee retention and engagement. Joey explores the critical connection between onboarding, employee engagement, and long-term retention.

    Drawing on global research and real-world examples, Joey makes a compelling case for why businesses must rethink how they welcome and support new hires. 

    He also reflects on the impact of a recent three-month sabbatical and what it taught him about rest, leadership, and workplace culture. 

    Takeaways 

    • Great onboarding boosts retention, engagement, and long-term employee satisfaction. 
    • The first 100 days are critical for shaping employee experience and loyalty. 
    • Employees mirror leaders – if you never take time off, they won’t either. 
    • Strong workplace culture starts with showing genuine care beyond the 9-to-5. 
    • Even small, thoughtful gestures can create memorable employee experiences from day one. 
    • Unlimited vacation policies fail unless culturally supported and actively encouraged by leadership. 
    • Most companies underestimate the financial cost of losing and replacing employees. 
    • Treat employees like people, not just resources, and performance will follow.

  • E44 | Leading Wellbeing with Fleur Heazlewood

    Fleur Hazelwood is a leadership expert, author, and founder of the Blueberry Institute, specialising in building high-performance workplace cultures that prioritise wellbeing. With more than 20 years of corporate leadership experience, she has trained thousands in positive leadership, resilience, and mental health mastery. 

    She discusses the importance of integrating wellbeing into workplace culture to drive both employee performance and business success. When businesses invest in wellbeing, they see increased productivity, engagement, and innovation, alongside measurable financial returns. 

    Resilience, Fleur insists, is not an inherent trait but a learned skill, developed through daily habits and intentional strategies. Leadership plays a crucial role in shaping workplace wellbeing. Embedding wellbeing into business strategy ensures long-term success, benefiting both individuals and organisations. 

    Takeaways

    • People who are well perform better, making wellbeing essential for success. 
    • High performance is unsustainable without prioritising physical and mental health. 
    • Healthy workplace cultures drive productivity, innovation, and long-term business growth. 
    • Leadership should focus on people management, not just task execution. 
    • Resilience is a learned skill, built through daily habits and self-awareness. 
    • Preventing burnout requires balancing energy investment with regular recovery practices. 
    • Effective workplace wellbeing strategies deliver measurable returns on investment. 
    • Clear communication and role clarity improve engagement, efficiency, and retention. 
    • Strong leaders foster trust, transparency, and a psychologically safe environment. 
    • Embedding wellbeing into business strategy strengthens both employees and the bottom line.

  • E42 | Peak performance without the collateral damage – Dr Adam Fraser

    Dr Adam Fraser is a peak performance researcher, author, and keynote speaker who helps individuals and organisations push beyond their potential without the usual burnout. He has worked with elite athletes, special forces, and business leaders to study sustainable high performance.  

    Adam highlights the importance of transitions – how we shift from work to home or between tasks – to improve performance and well-being. His Third Space concept emphasises reflection, rest, and reset to show up better in different aspects of life. 

    Adam also discusses the critical role of challenge in personal growth, how struggle builds pride, and the dangers of avoiding discomfort. His research shows the best leaders balance care with challenge, and employees crave constructive feedback. 

    Ultimately, he advocates for workplaces that encourage meaningful striving, personal evolution, and a healthy relationship with discomfort – crucial for success in both business and life. 

    Takeaways 

    • Work-life balance is about how you show up, not just time spent. 
    • Effective transitions improve performance, relationships, and overall well-being in life. 
    • Struggle and challenge build pride, resilience, and long-term personal growth. 
    • The best leaders balance care, challenge, and investment in their teams. 
    • Employees crave feedback, including constructive criticism, to improve and feel valued. 
    • Tracking small progress during striving makes the journey more fulfilling. 
    • Avoiding discomfort hinders personal growth and weakens problem-solving abilities. 
    • Great leaders challenge employees while providing strong support and encouragement. 
    • Happiness from goal achievement fades quickly, but fulfilment comes from the process. 
    • A meaningful career requires embracing struggle, not just chasing easy success.

  • E38 | The Hive Mind at Work with Siobhan McHale

    Siobhan McHale, a global leader in organizational change, has transformed workplaces across four continents, notably leading a seven-year initiative at ANZ Bank that turned it into one of the world's most admired banks. Siobhan emphasises the importance of Group Intelligence (GQ). While IQ and EQ are essential, she says, GQ – understanding and intervening in complex human ecosystems – is crucial for modern workplaces. 

    Siobhan introduces the Hive Lens, a four-step method (Look, Experiment, Nudge, Strengthen) to drive meaningful change. Her work highlights the power of reframing roles and co-creating change to overcome resistance, fostering innovation and collaboration in organisations. 

    Takeaways 

    • Hidden agreements and systemic roles shape organisational behaviour more than formal structures. 
    • Diagnosing patterns, designing interventions, and implementing change are key to group intelligence. 
    • The Hive Lens: Look beyond, experiment, nudge behaviours, and strengthen emerging changes. 
    • Change succeeds when co-created rather than imposed from the top down. 
    • Leaders must actively drive change instead of delegating it to other departments. 
    • Organisations function as ecosystems, requiring holistic approaches to change. 
    • Reframing roles fosters transformation without disrupting expertise or responsibilities. 
    • Innovation and collaboration require strategic interventions, not just policies or training programs. 
    • Resistance to change is often a defence mechanism, not simple reluctance. 
    • Purpose-driven businesses balance stakeholder needs, with profit as an outcome, not the goal.
