  • Season 1: Promoted Because You Were Good: Eradicating Bad Management with Mark Stanton

    Season 1: Promoted Because You Were Good: Eradicating Bad Management with Mark Stanton
    2026/06/17
    In this episode of Progress in Practice, Charlie Reading is joined by Mark Stanton, co-founder of Develop People- a leadership and personal development practice working with manufacturers, engineers, regulated industries, and professional services firms to help technically excellent people become genuinely effective leaders.Mark spent nearly three decades in policing, retiring at a senior level having led teams of up to 600 people, before joining the business his wife Emma had founded 14 years ago. Emma's dual motivation was deeply personal: years of experiencing the damage caused by poor management, and a late diagnosis of dyslexia at 29 that helped her recognise the coping strategies she'd quietly built were skills others didn't know they had. Together, they help organisations surface those hidden capabilities and develop leaders who can lead themselves first.Mark and Charlie dig into DISC profiling, emotional intelligence, and the above and below the line framework that underpins Develop People's approach. They also have a genuinely interesting conversation about AI- not as a threat to leadership development, but as a tool that's only as useful as the prompts you give it, and as a future lens for real-time feedback in meetings and culture.This is a practical, honest, and thought-provoking episode about what it really takes to build high-performing teams, and why the blocker is usually closer to home than most leaders want to admit.Key Talking Points• Who Develop People serves: technical specialists and high-performers who've been promoted into leadership without ever being taught how to lead.• The sectors they work in: manufacturing, engineering, pharmaceuticals, regulated industries, accountancy, and legal firms.• Emma's founding story: leaving a series of jobs because of damaging management, and discovering her dyslexia at 29 and the hidden skill set that came with it.• Mark's policing career: nearly 30 years, retiring at senior level, leading teams of up to 600 people and the moment he asked himself what he could offer the outside world.• Why being brilliant at your job does not make you a brilliant leader, and why that gap is never explained to the people being promoted.• How Develop People use DISC profiling to help clients understand their communication style, their strengths, and where they create friction.• Emotional intelligence: self-awareness, awareness of others, and the difference between knowing how you are and taking responsibility for it.• The above and below the line framework: ownership, accountability, and responsibility above; blame, excuses, and denial below.• AI in leadership development: the echo chamber risk of self-coaching with AI, why prompts determine the quality of challenge, and the future potential of AI to give real-time feedback in meetings and on culture.• The blocker in Develop People's business: reaching people who don't yet know they have a problem, and why self-awareness has to come before development can begin.• Why Develop People no longer try to convince reluctant clients and how they focus on people who already know they need to change.• The challenge of selling leadership development when the person who benefits from it isn't always the one signing the contract.• Why high-performing teams produce better bottom-line results and how to make that case to a sceptical founder.• What Mark would tell his younger self: be less concerned with the opinions of others, stay true to your original purpose, and establish your values from day one.• Wisdom to pass on: be humble enough to remember where you've come from, and courageous enough to take the steps to where you want to go.• Book recommendations: The Chimp Paradox by Steve Peters, Turn the Ship Around by David Marquet, and Start with Why by Simon Sinek.• The above and below the line framework as a daily leadership tool and why it works precisely because of its simplicity.About the GuestMark Stanton is co-founder of Develop People, a leadership and personal development practice helping organisations in manufacturing, engineering, regulated industries, and professional services develop effective leaders from the inside out. Mark spent nearly three decades in policing, retiring at a senior level having led teams of up to 600 people, before joining the business his wife Emma founded 14 years ago.

  • Season 1: The One Minute Healer: Making Wellness Work for Busy People with Lakhmi Bhambra

    Season 1: The One Minute Healer: Making Wellness Work for Busy People with Lakhmi Bhambra
    2026/06/10
    In this episode of Progress in Practice, Charlie Reading is joined by Lakhmi Bhambra- also known as The One Minute Healer- founder of the 111 Approach, a wellness practice built around a simple but powerful premise: one thing at a time, one minute to do it properly, one day at a time.Lakhmi's path to wellness is anything but conventional. With a science degree and a background in the medical field, she spent years dismissing energy healing as woo, right up until a Reiki session with her aunt in New Zealand stopped her in her tracks. She describes the extraordinary moment grey smoke visibly left her chest, the lightness she felt afterwards, and how she returned to England determined to disprove it. She couldn't. What followed was a deep dive into intuitive energy healing, training in eight different modalities, and the creation of a practice that helps clients, from busy parents to multi-million pound business owners, get real results in around ten minutes.This is a warm, thought-provoking, and genuinely unusual conversation about intuition, energy, the power of gratitude, and what it means to be weird in the best possible way.Key Talking Points• Who Lakhmi serves: busy professionals and parents who know they need to invest in their wellbeing but feel they simply don't have the time.• The 111 Approach: one thing at a time, one minute to do it properly, one day at a time and why tackling wellness one step at a time prevents overwhelm.• Why most people fail at wellness goals and how trying to change everything at once is the real culprit.• Lakhmi's science background and years of deliberate scepticism; why she shut down her intuitive gifts as a child and what that led her towards.• The Reiki session in New Zealand that changed everything: a visible cloud of grey smoke, a lighter chest, and a breath she didn't know she'd been holding.• The science behind the woo- why energy healing is entirely compatible with a scientific understanding of the body.• Intuitive Reiki vs. traditional Reiki: how Lakhmi achieves similar results in around 10 minutes.• How energy healing works even for people who aren't naturally intuitive or emotionally connected.• The link between clearing energy blocks and unexpected business results and why some clients report major contracts arriving without doing anything differently.• What Lakhmi would tell her younger self: stay true to who you are; your weirdness is what draws people to you.• Advice for the next generation: "Be your weirdest self".• The biggest obstacle in Lakhmi's business: marketing something that has to be felt rather than described.• Why asking for testimonials matters and Lakhmi's word of 2026: determination.• Book recommendation: The Magic by Rhonda Byrne- a 28-day gratitude practice Lakhmi returns to every year.• The difference between saying you're grateful and truly feeling it and how that shift shows up in business and life.• New programmes coming: Warrior of Your World and Heal Your World. About the GuestLakhmi Bhambra, also known as The One Minute Healer, is the founder of the 111 Approach- a wellness practice helping busy professionals and parents build sustainable wellbeing habits in minutes a day. With a science degree and a background in the medical field, Lakhmi spent years as a self-professed sceptic before training in Reiki and seven other modalities of energy healing. She is a Reiki teacher and practitioner who specialises in intuitive energy healing, achieving results in around 10 minutes that traditional sessions take an hour to reach. Her 111 Approach- one thing, one minute, one day at a time- has helped clients from all walks of life, including multi-million pound business owners, reconnect with their energy, clear limiting beliefs, and create lasting change without overhauling their lives.

  • Season 1: No Mission Reaches Orbit by Accident: From Rocket Scientist to Career Coach with Amanda Regan

    Season 1: No Mission Reaches Orbit by Accident: From Rocket Scientist to Career Coach with Amanda Regan
    2026/06/03

    In this episode of Progress in Practice, Charlie Reading is joined by Amanda Regan, founder of Ignite Your Career- a coaching practice helping high-performing mid-career professionals reposition their careers deliberately so they can step into the person they've already become.

    Amanda's path to coaching is extraordinary. Streamed wrongly at secondary school, told she wasn't A-level material, and rejected by every advanced school she applied to, she went on to spend 20 years at the European Space Agency, including a pivotal moment standing in Kennedy Space Centre, where the Challenger disaster had first ignited her ambition as a 12-year-old. Her coaching framework, built on the principles of space mission design, is as original as her story.

    This is a fascinating, inspiring, and deeply practical conversation about visibility, positioning, resilience, and what it really takes to design the career, and life, you want.

    Key Talking Points

    • Who Amanda serves: high-performing mid-career professionals, mainly women, who are successful on paper but quietly feeling stuck or flat
    • Why competence can trap you and how growing beyond your role creates a dangerous mismatch
    • The Challenger disaster at age 12: how a single moment put Amanda on a trajectory towards the European Space Agency
    • How rejection and being streamed wrongly at school taught Amanda to present herself as the solution to a problem
    • Why Amanda became known as the "CV whisperer" at university and how that skill never left her
    • The moment at Kennedy Space Centre in 2012: sending her mum a photo to say "people like us do get jobs like this"
    • What Amanda would tell her younger self: focus on positioning and visibility, not just competence
    • Why being indispensable in a role can be a career trap, not a career asset
    • The advice Amanda would pass on: clarity doesn't start with knowing what you want — it starts with the courage to admit what you're no longer willing to tolerate
    • Just because you can doesn't mean you should, and why delegation is liberation
    • Amanda's biggest challenge: scaling her high-touch coaching sustainably and systematically
    • The Ignite Your Career framework: six engines, all aligned, inspired by space mission design
    • Why no mission reaches orbit by accident and what that means for your career
    • Book recommendation: Space Mission Design- Amanda's unconventional but brilliant coaching bible

    About the Guest Amanda Regan is the founder of Ignite Your Career, a coaching practice helping high-performing mid-career professionals deliberately reposition themselves for what's next. A rocket scientist by training, Amanda spent 20 years at the European Space Agency and the European Commission, leading a multi-million euro space programme before transitioning full-time into coaching. Her Ignite Your Career framework, built on the principles of space mission design, draws on two decades of navigating international, high-stakes environments to help professionals align their skills, visibility, and positioning for the career they're ready for.
