Today's episode of Working Hard, Hardly Working is one of our most highly requested solo episodes: it's all about how to be a better manager.

Management truly is one of the most important skills to have in the workplace, but most of us are never taught how to do it.

I find it so strange that it's one of those skills we're expected to just 'pick up' even though it's not a skill the majority of people specialise in when entering their careers, and it often doesn't come as second nature (it certainly didn't to me!). Plus, it's categorically the most important skill for career progression.

I hope you find this episode helpful and enjoy listening!

It’s a big one, today on Working Hard, Hardly Working, we have the one and only will.i.am.

He’s a multi-platinum artist, he’s won nine Grammys, an Emmy and is an all-round incredible musician, both as part of the Black Eyed Peas and as a music producer. But what you might not know, is that he’s also a tech entrepreneur, and has been leading and investing in tech companies for over a decade now. I wanted to speak to Will about navigating two simultaneous careers, how they intersect, and what brought him to where his “career” lies now.

It’s such an honour to have Will on the podcast, I’ll be honest with you, I was pretty star-struck. Thanks so much for listening!

In today’s episode of Working Hard, Hardly Working, I am so excited to be chatting with Estée Lalonde, one of the OG beauty bloggers & now founder of the bath and body brand MIRROR WATER. 

She’s now got over 2 million followers, but it all started when she was just 19 and decided to move halfway across the world to a city where she knew no-one, all because of love. 

She’s speaks so openly about her mental health, the highs and lows of her relationships and now building a brand, and even her proposal ultimatum. I can’t wait for you to hear this girly chat, we go deep!

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains content about suicide.

Jason Fox spent 20 years in the special forces, carrying out perilous missions in the most remote & harsh environments. But it's when he left the military after being diagnosed with PTSD that his story really took a turn. Now a staple on our screens on SAS: Who Dares Wins, Jason has used his platform to speak openly about his mental health struggles and how he manages them.

This was such a fascinating conversation, and I can't thank Jason enough for being so vulnerable. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording it.

Michelle Elman is a woman with a psychology empire. Her qualifications speak for themselves: she’s a five-board accredited life coach, a Master Practitioner, a Master Hypnotherapist and a psychologist, plus she’s published four bestselling books. But these accolades are more than just a job for Michelle. They’re personal. She faced serious health challenges throughout her childhood, having to endure 15 surgeries, followed by periods of intense self-doubt and low body confidence due to her many scars.

Aged just 21, she began her campaign ‘Scarred not Scared’, advocating for body confidence, and sharing her story with the world. Now, she spends her days coaching others on the importance of self-love, boundaries and acceptance. I’m so excited to share her wisdom with you in this episode.
