About
Real conversations for leaders, HR and L&D.
Making Work Work for Humans is for leaders, HR and L&D teams building high-trust workplaces. As an MBA, leadership advisor and PhD candidate researching trust and sub-clinical narcissism, I sit down with people quietly shaping the future of work.
Guests include CEOs, psychologists, researchers and HR executives. The conversations cover leadership, psychological safety, employee experience, HR technology and AI adoption — and the everyday behaviours that build or erode trust.
