UN/DO

Welcome to the IT phase of Summer School, where systems, strategy, and scale take centre stage. In this episode, we’re tackling one of the hardest skills in leadership: delegation.

We break down why letting go is more than just a productivity trick, it’s an act of leadership. You’ll learn how to delegate without dumping, use the situational leadership model to tailor your approach, and build trust without micromanaging.

If you're stepping into leadership, or want to lead better, I offer training on delegation, time management, and scaling sustainably. Explore more at https://www.thisisworkwell.com/workwithus

People-pleasing is exhausting. And it won’t get you promoted. In this episode, we talk about the likeability trap - especially for women and underrepresented groups - and how to lead with kindness, not people-pleasing. Because being respected > being liked.

Welcome to UN/DO - the podcast where we rethink work, rest, and play. Hosted by Dulcie and Yemisi, this season is all about unlearning the rules we’ve been handed and doing life on our terms. If you’re done shrinking, settling, or running on fumes…you’re in the right place.

In this final episode of Season 2, we’re talking about something that sounds simple, until it’s you: visibility. Whether it’s speaking up, sharing your work, or letting yourself be known, showing up can feel terrifying. Especially if you’ve been taught that being visible means being judged, reduced, or misunderstood.

But you don’t have to be fearless to be seen. You just have to be honest. And today, we’re digging into what it really means to show up, not when you’re perfect, but now.

In this episode:

• Why we shrink ourselves and what it costs us

• The myths we’ve been sold about confidence and readiness

• The Spotlight Effect and why people aren’t watching you as closely as you think

• What Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s story teaches us about visibility and fear

• Our signature UN/DO practice - one thing to unlearn, one thing to do differently

Books mentioned:

• Presence by Amy Cuddy

• Feck Perfuction by James Victore

• Brave, Not Perfect by Reshma Saujani

This week’s dilemma:

“How do I know if this is bravery or a breakdown?”

In this minisode, we respond to a listener at a major life crossroads. After nearly 30 years in law (and 19 with the same company) redundancy is on the horizon. But instead of panic, what’s rising is something quieter and deeper: curiosity.

Jules has spent years being “the sensible one.” She’s built a solid career, raised her kids, ticked all the expected boxes. But now, she’s wondering if it’s time to trade legal briefs for clay and pursue her secret passion: ceramics.

Is it foolish to leave behind the life you’ve built? Or is it finally time to build one that feels fully your own? If you’ve ever dreamed of a second act, but feared what people would say…this one’s for you.
