In this episode, we are discussing the art of setting your own boundaries, how they are tied to your core values and how they might change over time. Whilst, hybrid working has had a last impact on people's wellbeing; so has the arrival of Gen Zers into the workplace who demand from companies a higher focus on their health and happiness.  

In this episode, we discussed how to make an impact in the first 90 days of a new job. The team shared their experiences working in different industries, roles and companies. As usual, we share plenty of actionable and easy to use tools. 

In this episode Gaelle, Sofia and Reni dive into the world of decision making. We discuss everything from how we set goals to how we have changed throughout our lives when it comes to decision making and how difficult it can be to ensure you make the right decision at the right time. Tune in and hopefully take away a few ideas for yourself.

In honour of Women's History Month and International Women's Day, we have decided to discuss our biases: the ones we want to break and the ones we unlearnt over the years. We are discussing everything from mentoring all the way to modelling masculine behaviours to feel a sense of belonging when working in male dominated environments. You will hear our team reflect on what they wish they had done differently and their desire to trust the 'sometimes daunting and painful' process.
