    55. Standards vs Sabotage
    Mar 19 2026

    High standards are valuable. Self-sabotage is not.

    54. The Power In Repetition
    Mar 18 2026

    We've all been there: you're discussing findings with a stakeholder and you start to feel like you’re going round and around in circles. It can feel frustrating.

    In this episode, I explore how repeating the same message, rather than scrambling for new justifications or additional data, can signal confidence and prevent the conversation from drifting.

    53. Don't Take The Bait
    Mar 17 2026

    Sometimes a sharp comment in a meeting is less about the issue and more about the pressure someone is feeling.

    In this episode, I explore how recognising emotional bait — and choosing not to react to it — helps keep audit conversations focused on evidence, reasoning, and risk.
