Ah, the office Christmas party.
Less “festive joy,” more “performance review with glitter.”

Nia (our quietly brilliant operations manager ) positions herself near the buffet like a tactical genius. But when Gareth from Sales knocks the cable out of the snow machine mid-brag, the night descends into festive chaos.

Nia steps in with the kind of calm, grounded authority that makes real leadership obvious… without saying a word.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• Snow machine pandemonium
• One-woman peacekeeping forces
• Gareth being… Gareth
• Why quiet leaders are the ones we follow without realising

Power Move: Build Your Circle
Little Move: Be the steady one when nonsense erupts.

What You’ll Take Away:
Influence isn’t loud. Influence is presence. And the people who keep the room calm are the people who get remembered.

This is the big one.
The call centre story.
The real, messy, emotionally brilliant tale of Amina - QC Queen, calm diplomat, and unofficial backbone of the entire operation.

On December 22nd the wallboard turns red, the VIP line collapses, agents are in tears, and the CEO shows up unannounced… just in time to take a call he’s absolutely not ready for.

Amina doesn’t rescue him.
She reveals the truth.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• The sound of collective panic when the wallboard hits “Queue: 198”
• How emotional labour keeps entire industries running
• The CEO learning more in five minutes than in five strategy decks
• The moment frontline expertise becomes undeniable

Power Move: Be Seen
Little Move: Make the truth visible to the person who needs to see it.

What You’ll Take Away:
Leadership isn’t title. It’s clarity under pressure. And sometimes the smallest act (showing someone the reality) changes everything.

Episode 2 brings us to the Marketing department, where a mystery Christmas hamper lands on Desk 14, belonging to the formidable Margaret - patron saint of “I’m not angry, I’m just disappointed.”

Cue panic, silence, and the kind of tension only a British office can generate over chutney, cheese wheels, and a questionable ribbon.

A tiny moment of misplaced gifting turns into a masterclass in pattern spotting, calm thinking, and stepping up when no one else will.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• A whole office freeze because Margaret simply asks a question
• The Business Development junior’s walk of shame
• The “Bold move” whisper that tells you everything about workplace politics
• Why small acts of courage create huge ripples

Power Move: Make It Matter
Little Move: Deliver clarity when everyone else is dithering.

What You’ll Take Away:
Office drama is never about the hamper. It’s about ownership, expectations, and knowing when to act instead of stare.

In Episode 1 we meet Holly - a 19-year-old Christmas temp who gets dropped into a chaotic consultancy in December… the exact moment clients start demanding miracles before close-down.

Holly doesn’t shout, she doesn’t flail, she doesn’t grandstand.
She notices.
She organises.
She builds the one thing the entire team needed and didn’t realise: a list that prevented a full-blown Christmas Eve catastrophe.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• Why outsider perspective is a secret superpower
• How quiet clarity outperforms loud panic every time
• The hilarious moment Holly accidentally becomes the most competent person in the building
• Why the 2mm Difference is often just… writing the list

Power Move: Spot & Solve
Little Move: Notice the mess no one else is looking at.

What You’ll Take Away:
The smallest interventions (especially from unexpected people) can completely shift a team’s trajectory. Visibility isn’t noise. Visibility is impact.
