  • Neuroscience and Leadership with Susan Ní Chríodáin

    Neuroscience and Leadership with Susan Ní Chríodáin
    2026/01/19
    Just because I feel it, doesn't make it true.

    In this episode of Speech Bubbles, host Charlotte Otter talks to Susan Ní Chríodáin - facilitator, leadership coach, podcaster, and award-winning author of Leading Beyond the Numbers: How Accounting for Emotions Tips the Balance at Work - to unpack what happens when we stop pretending work is purely rational.

    Susan shares a deceptively simple idea with massive consequences: our brains predict what’s about to happen next, and we often treat those predictions (and the emotions that follow) as facts. But just because my brain thinks it, it doesn’t make it true - and the same goes for feelings. Charlotte and Susan explore how workplace assumptions harden into permanent impressions, why personal responsibility is the antidote to reactive leadership, and how a shift from empathy-as-assumption to compassion-as-curiosity can transform relationships, performance, and trust.

    They talk body budgeting (sleep, movement, hydration), the grind of book marketing, the danger of outsourcing self-worth to external validation, and the leadership liberation that comes from three words: “I don’t know.”

    This is one of those episodes that lands in both head and heart — neuroscience with warmth, strategy with humanity, and a clear call to build leadership cultures where every voice counts.

    What you’ll learn:
    * Why your brain’s predictions can sabotage workplace relationships (and how to change them)
    * The “accounting for emotions” model: a balance sheet for energy, identity, and sustainability
    * Why Susan prefers compassion over empathy — and the question that changes everything
    * How body budgeting (sleep, movement, breaks) impacts performance and decision-making
    * The leadership power move hiding in plain sight: admitting you don’t know Follow Susan on LinkedIn · Learn more about Susan's work · Buy Susan's book · · Follow Charlotte on LinkedIn · Subscribe to Speech Bubbles the newsletter · Link to buy We Need New Leaders

  • Employee Ownership and Leadership with Eithne Devine-Hynes

    Employee Ownership and Leadership with Eithne Devine-Hynes
    2026/01/06
    What happens when a company becomes employee-owned?

    In this episode of Speech Bubbles, Charlotte Otter sits down with Eithne Devine-Hynes, CEO of DeltaXignia, to unpack the leadership and cultural shift that comes with becoming an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT).

    Eithne explains why becoming an EOT is not a switch you flip, but a story you have to bring to life through governance, education, transparency, and culture. She explains the practical structure behind EOTs, including trustees and quarterly governance rhythms.

    On leadership: Eithne’s most formative training came from leading large projects without authority, learning how to win buy-in through clarity, metrics, and mission rather than hierarchy. She also offers a powerful reframing of diversity as diversity of thought and argues that employee ownership could play a role in tackling long-term wealth imbalance by keeping value inside communities.

    Eithne’s advice for emerging leaders is clear and energising: be yourself, stay authentic, and don’t dim your light for anyone.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:
    * What an Employee Ownership Trust is and how it works in practice
    * Why culture is the heartbeat of employee-owned companies
    * How financial transparency helps employees think and act like owners
    * The underrated leadership superpower of leading without authority
    * How to challenge outdated leadership archetypes with authenticity

    This is a thoughtful exploration with an insightful leader of how employee ownership, culture, and authentic leadership come together to create businesses where people don’t just work for success, they collectively own it.

  • Uncaged Leadership with Katia Vlachos

    Uncaged Leadership with Katia Vlachos
    2025/12/15
    How a defence analyst became a reinvention coach.

    In this episode of Speech Bubbles, Charlotte talks with coach, speaker, and author Katia Vlachos about what it really means to become uncaged as a leader and as a human.

    Katia shares her journey from high-flying defence analyst to reinvention coach and author of A Great Move and Uncaged: A Good Girl’s Journey to Reinvention. She explains how invisible cages like perfectionism, people-pleasing, and self-sacrifice quietly shape our careers and relationships – and how learning to self-validate, rather than chasing external approval, changes everything.

    Together, Charlotte and Katia explore:
    * How to spot your own cages and start breaking free
    * Why reinvention is never starting from scratch, but building bridges from what you already know
    * The link between purpose, self love, and true authority
    * Katia’s idea of uncaged leadership – leading from deep self awareness, integrity, and inner security
    * Why vulnerability, feedback, and inner work are non-negotiable for modern leaders

    Katia closes with three powerful tips for emerging leaders: do the inner work, become your own secure base, and be a secure base for others so they can take risks and grow.

    Also there's a shout-out to one of Charlotte's favourite authors and podcasters, Glennon Doyle.

    If you care about reinvention, personal growth, and building a more humane style of leadership, this conversation will land with you.
