About this listen

In this episode, I sit down with Karen Aitchison, Global Head of Wellbeing and Partner at ERM, who brings heart, humour and honesty to the centre of the workplace conversation. From tackling imposter syndrome to rethinking how curiosity can drive stronger connections, Karen shares deeply personal insights and practical tools for creating cultures where people feel safe to show up as themselves. We explore how understanding the brain and human behaviour can shift leadership from reactive to reflective, and why wellbeing is no longer a nice-to-have but a vital governance issue.

Whether you're navigating fear-based decision making or striving to lead with authenticity, this episode will leave you inspired to act with greater intention. Tune in to hear how engineers can apply the same curiosity they have for problems to the people around them, and why being remembered as an authentic soul who helped others grow is the ultimate legacy.
