It sounds so simple.  It’s what we teach our kids to say when someone is hurt, even if the harm was unintentional. But inside many workplaces, apologies are often treated as a formal concession of legal liability, rather than a basic act of humanity. This is an insightful conversation about workplace harm, common institutional responses, leadership, power, psychosocial safety, and trauma recovery. It explores what leaders can do differently early on to potentially avoid issues escalating into lengthy, costly battles. Available now on Apple, Spotify and Youtube.

Canberra Women’s Event

It’s amazing what can happen when people show up for each other: community, connection, and a room full of meaningful conversations.

Exactly as it should be.

It was great to co-host this Canberra women’s event on Monday 30 March with Jade Warne from the Small Business Growth Club. You can see photos of the evening on LinkedIn and Instagram.

Understanding power is the first step. The next is using that knowledge to move it deliberately. Ethical influence understands how power works, but chooses not to mirror its worst instincts. Its focus is simple: changing outcomes without replicating the behaviour it opposes.

Silence is one of the most powerful tools in politics. It signals loyalty, discourages dissent, and very often protects the system exactly as it is. These dynamics also appear in workplaces and other contexts. If we want better government, stronger institutions and a healthier democracy, we need to understand how power actually works — not just how we wish it worked.

In this podcast interview, I discuss the themes from my recent Substack series on power, politics and leadership. Because if we want better government, a stronger democracy and a better country, we need to understand how power actually works — not just how we wish it worked. Listen here.

I help changemakers and organisations prepare for meetings with politicians - because access alone won’t deliver outcomes.

There are women across Canberra doing extraordinary work that most of us never hear about.

These are their photos and stories.
