In this episode of Misbehave, we’re exploring what happens when purpose stops being a slogan and starts shaping real decisions.

We’re joined by Catherine Douglas, former Chief People and Sustainability Officer at The Co-Operative Bank and founding member of the Nexus Chief People Forum. From choosing suppliers to leading major change, Catherine shares how a clear purpose can cut through conflict, guide strategy, and build trust.

We dive into what visible leadership really looks like during transitions, why transparency beats silence every time, and how sustainability isn’t just a cost, it’s a competitive advantage.

This one’s for anyone navigating tough calls, culture shifts, or trying to make sustainability stick without losing momentum.
