  • Reframing Power, Risk, and Influence in the Legal Sector

    Reframing Power, Risk, and Influence in the Legal Sector
    Sep 1 2025

    This episode, I am joined by Tamara Box, Partner at Reed Smith, where we explore the forces reshaping the legal profession: the backlash against DEI, the rise of AI, and how leadership programmes, working styles, and billable hours are shaping gender equity.

    We ask: are firms drawing hard lines, or compromising in the name of business?

    Please listen if you'd like to hear a conversation on where the profession is heading, and what it will take to lead with both principle and impact.

  • Rethinking Neurodiversity at Work | Shifting the Needle

    Rethinking Neurodiversity at Work | Shifting the Needle
    Jul 14 2025

    Shifting the Needle is back! Our new episode is about ‘Rethinking Neurodiversity at Work’ with Madelaine Verchere, Data Strategy and Neurodiversity Community Co-Lead at EY.

    In this episode, we unpack the eye-opening results of EY's Global Neuroinclusion at Work Study 2025, an exploration involving 2,000 neurodivergent and 500 neurotypical professionals that’s redefining what success can look like in today’s workplace. With 1 in 5 of being neurodiverse, this episode highlights why inclusion isn’t optional, it’s essential.

    If you're a leader who wants to unlock the full potential of your team, this episode is a must listen. Learn how to truly understand what makes your people tick, neurodiverse or neurotypical, and create a workplace where everyone can thrive.

    Whether you’re neurotypical, neurodistinct, or proudly neuro-spicy, this episode will give you fresh insight into how the people around you work best and how to bring out the brilliance in everyone.
