Welcome back! Today, we have a compelling discussion with Charles Tarbey, who explores the evolving language landscape and societal expectations in our modern world.
Charles reflects on his upbringing in Crookwell, NSW, and shares the humour in his early communication style compared to today's sensitivities. He discusses the confusion of writing an email and questions the appropriateness of a basic salutation.
He shares a friend's experience of being admonished for calling someone "homeless," emphasizing that it's not the words but the context and tone that matter.
Wrapping up, Charles humorously suggests alternative, lighthearted phrases for common expressions to promote inclusivity without losing the essence of fun in conversation.

In our latest leadership podcast, Charles Tarbey shared valuable insights on the quest for purpose in life. He reflected on the tendency to lead comfortable but unfulfilled lives, particularly in Australia, where many achieve little yet find contentment. This raises the question of whether hard work and striving for success truly lead to fulfilment.

Tarbey highlighted the contrast between those who contribute meaningfully to society and those who do not, pondering why individuals who believe in an afterlife often fail to live fully. He emphasized that success is not solely defined by financial achievements but by the positive impact one makes.

Drawing on Kerry Packer’s near-death experience, during which he remarked, “There’s nothing there,” Tarbey underscored the uncertainty of life after death. He encouraged listeners to embrace life with purpose and authentically navigate its joys and challenges.

Ultimately, Tarbey urged individuals to pursue their passions for their own sake, seeking advice only when desired. His reflections remind us that our choices and actions in this life hold significant meaning, regardless of what may lie beyond.
