The Leadership Lab episodes
- Welcome To The Leadership Lab
Welcome to The Leadership Lab by The Colour Works.
In this launch episode, Luke and Lucy introduce the podcast, explain why it was created, and share what listeners can expect from future episodes.
The Leadership Lab is built around real people, real conversations, under the microscope.
Each guest will bring a leadership hypothesis into the Lab, which we’ll explore through curiosity, questioning and honest conversation.
From each episode, we’ll identify one leadership behaviour to add to The Leadership Lab Periodic Table — a growing collection of practical behaviours that help people, teams and organisations work better together.
You’ll also hear about Lab Notes, our shorter reflection episodes where Luke and Lucy unpack each guest conversation and explore the lessons, themes and behaviours in more detail.
Brought to you by The Colour Works, specialists in Insights Discovery, self-awareness, leadership development, team development and organisational change.
Real people. Real conversations. Under the microscope.

About The Leadership Lab
From the publisher's feed
Most leadership content wants to impress you. We'd rather be useful.
The Leadership Lab is a podcast by The Colour Works — and it's built around one belief: relatable beats…
impressive.
Because the most powerful leadership lessons don't come from people who've got it all figured out. They come from people who've made difficult decisions, changed their minds, got it wrong, and kept going anyway.
Each series, we take one element from our Leadership Periodic Table and put it under the microscope. We sit down with guests — leaders, thinkers, practitioners — and have the kind of conversations that don't usually make it into the highlight reel. The uncomfortable realisations. The moments of doubt. The things they wish someone had told them earlier.
Then the following week, it's just us. Our Lab Note episodes are where Luke Wiltshire and Lucy Pearson debrief what they heard, what resonated, what they'd push back on, and what it actually looks like in practice inside real organisations.
No frameworks sold here. No six-step models. No one pretending leadership is cleaner than it is.
Just honest conversations, genuine curiosity, and the belief that self-knowledge is the most underrated leadership tool there is.
The Leadership Periodic Table grows with every series — a living, evolving map of what it means to lead, built entirely from real conversations. Each guest leaves their mark on it.
New episodes every week, alternating between longer feature conversations and shorter Lab Notes.
Hosted by Luke Wiltshire and Lucy Pearson from The Colour Works.
