Is your strategy being discussed regularly? or is it just gathering dust in a drawer?

Zoe, Michelle and Karen explore how strategy can support capability, guide decision-making, and bring people into alignment.

They talk about what it takes to make strategy visible, turning it into something people actually use — and how to keep it alive through everyday habits, team culture, and shared understanding.

Because when strategy works, it becomes part of how people think, speak, and work together.

Change is everywhere in healthcare — new roles, new reforms, new technologies. But how we navigate that change? Why do some of us thrive on change while others dread it?

Zoe, Michelle and Karen tackle the real-world messiness of change management and the capability it takes to lead, support, and shape it. What starts as a reflection on Zoe’s own role transition quickly unfolds into a bigger conversation.

Michelle champions momentum, challenging the idea that leaders always need to slow down for others. Karen argues for listening, trust, and understanding the emotional impact of change. And Zoe’s caught in the middle — balancing action with empathy.

Whether you’re driving change or trying to survive it, this episode brings sharp perspectives, practical insights, and a little bit of group therapy.

Get ready to rethink how we verify and value professional capability as Zoe, Michelle and Karen unpack one of the trickiest concepts in healthcare: competency.

Together, they examine how competency needs to be more than a process — it needs to be a conversation. They also discuss how to move beyond static assessments, how confidence and compliance fit in (or don’t), and what good competency-based education actually looks like.
