SUMMARY:Buckets of Hope: Moving from Survival to Thriving with Abang Othow
DESCRIPTION:Buckets of Hope: Moving from Survival to Thriving \nWhat if hope wasn’t just something we wished for\, but something we could\nactively create\, cultivate and share? \nIn this inspiring conversation\, we explore the transformative power of hope\nwith a passionate advocate for wellbeing\, personal growth and lasting change.\nDrawing on lived experience\, years of leadership and teaching across\nAustralia\, and the practical Buckets of Hope Framework\, this episode shines a\nlight on how individuals\, families and communities can move beyond survival\nand begin to truly thrive. \nAt a time when many people are navigating uncertainty\, disconnection and rapid\nchange\, this conversation offers a refreshing and practical perspective on\nbuilding resilience through hope. We explore how visualisation can help shape\na more positive future\, why hope is a skill that can be strengthened\, and how\nsmall actions can create meaningful impact in our lives and the lives of\nothers. \nThis conversation will resonate with anyone seeking greater wellbeing\, purpose\nand optimism\, as well as leaders\, educators\, parents and community members\nlooking to support others through challenging times. \nInspired by the release of Abang’s new book\, Buckets of Hope\, this\nconversation extends beyond her personal story to offer a practical framework\nfor overcoming adversity\, cultivating hope and creating a life of purpose. As\nAbang beautifully writes\, “This book is not just my story\, it is an invitation\ninto your own. Because hope can be held\, shaped and carried\, one bucket at a\ntime.” \nAt Cuppa\, we believe conversations have the power to create impact. This\nepisode invites us to imagine what’s possible when we invest in hope—not only\nfor ourselves\, but for the people and communities around us. \nWant to speak further with Abang?

SUMMARY:The Hardiness Effect: The Courage to Grow from Stress with Dr Paul Taylor
DESCRIPTION:The Hardiness Effect: The Courage to Grow from Stress with Dr Paul Taylor \nIn a world where stress feels constant and unavoidable\, how can we move beyond\nsimply coping to truly thriving? \nIn this thought-provoking conversation\, we sit down with Dr Paul Taylor\,\nauthor of ‘The Hardiness Effect’\, to explore the science and practice of\nHardiness – the courage to grow from stress. While resilience is often\ncelebrated as the ability to bounce back\, Dr Paul challenges us to think\nbigger. What if stress wasn’t something to fear or avoid\, but a catalyst for\ngrowth\, performance and wellbeing? \nDrawing on decades of research and real-world experience\, Dr Paul shares\nevidence-based insights into how we can build Hardiness in our everyday lives.\nTogether\, we explore why our response to stress matters more than stress\nitself\, how modern comfort may be limiting our potential\, and the practical\nhabits that help us become stronger\, healthier and more adaptable. \nThis conversation will benefit anyone navigating pressure\, change\, uncertainty\nor high-performance environments – from leaders and teams to individuals\nseeking greater wellbeing and personal growth. \nAt Cuppa\, we believe meaningful conversations create meaningful impact. This\nepisode offers practical tools and fresh perspectives to help you embrace\nchallenges\, unlock growth\, and flourish in an increasingly complex world. \nWant to learn more from Dr Paul\nTaylor?

SUMMARY:Learning That Leaves No One Behind: Inclusive Learning as the Backbone of Business
DESCRIPTION:Learning That Leaves No One Behind: Inclusive Learning as the Backbone of\nBusiness \nThe future of work depends on our ability to learn—but not everyone\nexperiences learning in the same way. Yet despite increasingly diverse\nworkplaces\, many learning experiences\, meetings and workplace systems are\nstill designed for a “default” participant\, unintentionally leaving people\nbehind.\nIn this special Movement Circle conversation\, Maria Doyle\, Shaheen Hajira\,\nAisling Smith and Katrina Loukas come together to explore what truly inclusive\nlearning looks like—and why it is fundamental to the future of work. Bringing\ntogether expertise in instructional design\, inclusive learning\,\nneurodiversity\, behavioural science\, trauma-informed practice and\norganisational wellbeing\, they challenge long-held assumptions about how\npeople learn\, connect and perform. \nTogether\, the panel explores how organisations can move beyond one-size-fits-\nall learning and create environments where every individual has the\nopportunity to contribute\, grow and thrive. From designing accessible learning\nexperiences and embracing neurodiversity\, to creating psychologically safe\nworkplaces and embedding systemic wellbeing\, this conversation demonstrates\nthat inclusive learning is far more than a training initiative—it’s a catalyst\nfor innovation\, belonging\, performance and organisational success. \nThis episode is ideal for HR leaders\, Learning and Development professionals\,\norganisational development practitioners\, people leaders\, facilitators\,\neducators and anyone passionate about creating more inclusive\, human-centred\nworkplaces. \nKey takeaways include: \n\nWhy inclusive learning is a strategic business imperative that strengthens engagement\, innovation and organisational performance.\nPractical strategies for designing learning experiences\, meetings and workplace systems that work for diverse minds\, backgrounds and ways of thinking.\nHow neurodiversity\, trauma-informed practice and behavioural science can help organisations unlock hidden talent and foster psychological safety.\nWays to move beyond compliance and create cultures where knowledge is shared\, people feel they belong\, and everyone has the opportunity to thrive.\nActionable approaches to transforming learning from a “tick-and-flick” exercise into meaningful experiences that create lasting behavioural change.\n\nAt Cuppa.tv\, we believe meaningful conversations create\nmeaningful impact. Join Maria\, Shaheen\, Aisling and Katrina as they reimagine\nwhat learning can be—and show why designing for inclusion isn’t simply good\npractice\, it’s the foundation of healthier people\, stronger teams and more\nsuccessful organisations. \n Check out our guests on Pick My\nBrain \nFB: @themariadoylestory\nInsta: @themariadoylestory\nLinkedIn: Maria Doyle | LinkedIn \nLinkedin: Shaheen . | LinkedIn\nSubstack: https://substack.com/@shaheenhajira \nInstagram: @aislingsmithneuroempowerment\nLinkedIn: Aisling Smith NeuroEmpowerment | LinkedIn \nLinkedIn: Katrina Loukas | LinkedIn\n\nWatch here: https://community.cuppa.tv/c/community-events/learning-that-leaves-no-one-behind-inclusive-learning-as-the-backbone-of-business-f2087815-e214-4369-ade4-ecf1c10b872b

SUMMARY:AI Searches for People\, Not Logos: Building a Personal Brand That AI Can Find with Nicole Hatherly
DESCRIPTION:AI Searches for People\, Not Logos: Building a Personal Brand That AI Can\nFind \nThe way people discover expertise has fundamentally changed. Today\, leaders\,\nrecruiters and decision-makers are no longer just searching Google\, they’re\nasking AI who they should hire\, promote\, partner with or invite to speak. The\nquestion is: when AI is asked about your field\, does it know who you are? \nIn this eye-opening conversation\, brand strategist @Nicole\nHatherly explores one of the biggest\nshifts in professional visibility that almost nobody is talking about. Moving\nbeyond “how to use AI\,” Nicole reveals how AI forms an understanding of your\nreputation\, why traditional SEO has evolved into Answer Engine Optimisation\n(AEO)\, and what professionals can do to ensure their expertise is recognised\nin the age of AI. \nDrawing on 30 years of experience in brand strategy and her internationally\ndelivered masterclass\, Nicole shares practical strategies to help\nprofessionals close the gap between the reputation they’ve earned and the\nreputation AI can actually find. This isn’t about becoming a social media\ninfluencer\, it’s about making the expertise you already have visible\, credible\nand discoverable. \nThis conversation is ideal for professionals\, executives\, academics\,\nconsultants\, entrepreneurs and anyone looking to advance their career\,\nstrengthen their reputation or position themselves as a recognised expert in\ntheir field. \nKey takeaways include: \n\nWhy AI now recommends people\, not websites\, and what the shift from SEO to AEO means for your career.\nHow to conduct your own AI reputation audit using a simple prompt to discover exactly what AI says about you today.\nA practical five-step framework to move from invisible to recommended by helping AI accurately understand and represent your expertise.\n\nAt Cuppa\, we believe conversations create impact by helping people stay ahead\nof the changes shaping the future of work. This episode offers a practical and\nempowering roadmap for ensuring your expertise is recognised not only by\npeople but also by the AI systems increasingly influencing the decisions that\nmatter most.\n\nWatch here: https://community.cuppa.tv/c/community-events/ai-searches-for-people-not-logos-building-a-personal-brand-that-ai-can-find-with-nicole-hatherly-d0466389-ac4f-49fd-86b8-6a850b7ef53a

SUMMARY:Disrupting the Drift: Building Agency in an Uncertain Future with Reanna Browne
DESCRIPTION:Disrupting the Drift: Building Agency in an Uncertain Future \nThe future can often feel overwhelming—shaped by rapid technological change\,\nglobal uncertainty and challenges that seem beyond our control. But what if\nthe future isn’t something that simply happens to us? What if it’s something\nwe can actively shape? \nIn this inspiring conversation\, futures strategist Reanna explores how we can\nmove beyond uncertainty and build the confidence to take meaningful action\ntoday. Rather than focusing solely on predicting trends\, Reanna offers\npractical tools for making sense of change\, building agency and creating\npathways forward—whether in our organisations\, our careers or our personal\nlives. \nTogether\, we unpack why there are no “future facts”\, how today’s actions\ninfluence tomorrow’s possibilities\, and why waiting for certainty often\nprevents us from creating the future we want. Reanna introduces the concept of\n“disrupting and redirecting the drift”—recognising the changes already\nunfolding around us and intentionally influencing where they lead. \nThis conversation will resonate with leaders\, teams and individuals navigating\nchange who want practical ways to move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling\nempowered. \nKey takeaways include: \n– A new way of thinking about the future that inspires action in the present\nrather than fear of what’s ahead. \n– Practical strategies for building agency and making meaningful progress\,\neven in times of uncertainty. \n– How to identify opportunities to disrupt and redirect the future through\nintentional choices and everyday actions. \nAt Cuppa\, we believe conversations create impact by helping people think\ndifferently and act with purpose. This episode offers a hopeful and practical\nframework for navigating change\, reminding us that while we can’t predict the\nfuture\, we all have the power to shape it—one decision at a time.\n\nWatch here: https://community.cuppa.tv/c/community-events/disrupting-the-drift-building-agency-in-an-uncertain-future-with-reanna-browne-bd1ac478-530f-430f-ba9d-8cb2e32a7167

SUMMARY:The Invisible Architecture of Leadership: Redesigning the Systems That Shape People and Performance with Katriina Tahka

The answer\noften lies beneath the surface. \nIn this thought-provoking conversation\, visionary workplace change-maker\nKatriina Tahka\, CEO of A Human Agency (A-HA) and Managing Director of\nCultivate Sponsorship\, explores the invisible architecture that shapes every\norganisation\, the hidden systems\, power dynamics and leadership behaviours\nthat influence how opportunities are created\, decisions are made and cultures\nevolve.

SUMMARY:Transformational Leadership: Why Leading Yourself Comes First with Nerissa (Riss) Trindade
DESCRIPTION:Transformational Leadership: Why Leading Yourself Comes First\nIn a world shaped by constant change\, uncertainty and the rapid rise of\nartificial intelligence\, the most effective leaders won’t be those who simply\nknow more or do more. They will be the ones who understand themselves more\ndeeply. \nJoin us for this thought-provoking conversation with leadership coach\, TEDx\nspeaker and transformational change expert Nerissa (Riss) Trindade as we\nexplore why transformational leadership begins from within. Drawing on decades\nof experience leading large-scale organisational change\, neuroscience-based\ncoaching and their own personal journey of transformation\, Riss challenges the\ntraditional view that leadership is primarily about leading others. \nTogether\, we’ll explore how self-awareness\, adaptability\, authenticity and\nhuman connection have become the defining leadership capabilities of our time.\nAs technology continues to evolve\, these uniquely human qualities remain\nessential for creating trust\, navigating uncertainty and making a meaningful\nimpact. \nInspired by their TEDx talk\, Re-find You — The Refined You\, Riss shares how\nour experiences\, challenges and setbacks do not have to define us. Instead\,\nthey can refine us into more resilient\, intentional and effective leaders. \nThis conversation will offer practical insights for leaders\, entrepreneurs\,\nchange-makers and anyone seeking to lead with greater purpose in a rapidly\nchanging world. You’ll discover why leadership starts with re-finding\nyourself\, how to turn life’s experiences into catalysts for growth\, and ways\nto strengthen your capacity to lead through complexity and change. \nAt Cuppa\, we believe conversations create impact.

SUMMARY:The Hidden Cost of Leadership: Health\, Burnout & Organisational Risk with Paula Conroy
DESCRIPTION:The Hidden Cost of Leadership: Health\, Burnout & Organisational Risk\nWatch live here \nIn this thought-provoking episode of Cuppa.tv\, we’re joined by Dr Paula Conroy\nto explore the hidden physiological cost of leadership and why functioning is\nnot the same as being well. \nAcross workplaces everywhere\, leaders are expected to sustain high performance\nwhile navigating relentless pressure\, chronic stress and poor recovery. Many\ncontinue pushing forward because nothing has “broken”. But beneath the\nsurface\, exhaustion\, depleted energy\, sleep disruption and rising health risks\nare quietly impacting not only individual wellbeing\, but also decision-making\,\ncommunication\, culture and organisational performance. \nDrawing on her unique combination of medical expertise\, organisational\nexperience and lived experience of burnout and health crisis\, Dr Paula\nchallenges the reactive way we think about health and leadership. Together\, we\nexplore why leadership is not just intellectual\, but deeply physiological\, and\nwhy proactive preventive health must become part of how we lead sustainably. \nWant to pick the brain of Paula Conroy?

SUMMARY:The Hidden Workforce: How to Better Engage Contractors and Freelancers with Leanne Faulkner
DESCRIPTION:The Hidden Workforce: How to Better Engage Contractors and Freelancers\nIn a rapidly changing world of work\, organisations are increasingly relying on\nself-employed contractors\, freelancers\, and micro-business owners to deliver\nspecialised skills\, drive innovation\, and support project-based work. Yet\nwhile many leaders understand how to engage and support employees\, far fewer\nunderstand what it takes to build strong\, productive relationships with\nindependent contractors. \nIn this episode\, we sit down with entrepreneur\, researcher\, and former Billie\nGoat Soap founder @Leanne Faulkner to\nexplore the unique realities facing Australia’s growing self-employed\nworkforce. Drawing on more than 20 years of business experience and five years\nof PhD research into the mental health hazards faced by sole traders and\nmicro-business owners\, Leanne shares valuable insights into how organisations\ncan better connect with\, support\, and retain contractor talent. \nTogether\, we discuss the changing nature of work\, the differences between\nemployment and self-employment\, and why understanding these distinctions can\nunlock stronger engagement\, greater innovation\, and better outcomes for\neveryone involved. \nLeanne offers practical strategies for building trust-based relationships with\ncontractors\, creating healthier project environments\, and developing long-term\ntalent networks that benefit both organisations and the people they engage. \nWhether you’re a CEO\, HR leader\, procurement professional\, or business owner\,\nthis conversation will challenge you to rethink traditional approaches to\nworkforce engagement and consider how more human-centred partnerships can\ncreate lasting impact. \nBecause when organisations understand the people behind the contracts\, they\ncreate the conditions for stronger relationships\, better performance\, and more\nmeaningful work for all. \nWant to pick the brain of Leanne Faulkner?

SUMMARY:Authentic Leadership in an Artificial World: An Eastern and Western Perspective with Kamal Sarma
DESCRIPTION:Authentic Leadership in an Artificial World: An Eastern and Western\nPerspective \nAs artificial intelligence reshapes how we work\, communicate\, and lead\, one\nleadership capability is becoming more valuable than ever: authenticity. \nIn this thought-provoking conversation\, we welcome @kamal\nsarma\, leadership expert\, former monk\,\nand business strategist\, to explore why the future belongs to leaders who can\ncombine inner steadiness with outer impact. Drawing on his unique journey from\nthe monastery to the boardroom\, Kamal brings together Eastern wisdom and\nWestern leadership practices to offer a powerful perspective on leading in an\nincreasingly artificial world. \nTogether\, we examine the growing challenges of distraction\, disconnection\, and\nconstant change\, and why authentic leadership is emerging as a critical\ndifferentiator. Kamal shares insights from neuroscience\, leadership\ndevelopment\, and human connection to reveal how presence\, emotional\nregulation\, self-awareness\, and trust help leaders navigate complexity without\nlosing themselves in the process. \nThis conversation explores what it means to lead with courage\, clarity\, and\ngenuine connection when technology advances faster than our ability to stay\ngrounded. We discuss how leaders can create cultures where people feel safe\,\nvalued\, and able to perform at their best\, while building stronger\nrelationships and more meaningful conversations along the way. \nWhether you lead a team\, an organisation\, or simply want to have a greater\npositive impact on those around you\, this episode offers practical insights\nfor becoming a more human leader in a rapidly changing world. \nBecause while technology may shape the future\, authentic human connection will\ndetermine how successfully we navigate it together.a \nWant to pick the brain of Kamal Sarma?

SUMMARY:The Real Reason Workplace Conflict Happens with Kate Russell
DESCRIPTION:The Real Reason Workplace Conflict Happens\nIn this thought-provoking episode of Pick My Brain\, we sit down with workplace\nrelations expert @Kate Russell to\nexplore the reality behind so-called “difficult” people at work and why\, more\noften than not\, we’re actually dealing with people in difficulty. \nTogether\, we unpack the complex dynamics behind challenging workplace\nrelationships and conversations\, moving beyond policies\, processes\, and quick\nfixes to focus on what truly matters: people. Kate shares a refreshing and\ndeeply human approach to leadership\, conflict\, and workplace culture\, one\ngrounded in curiosity\, empathy\, and understanding the root cause rather than\nsimply reacting to behaviour. \nThis conversation is especially valuable for senior leaders\, middle managers\,\nbusiness owners\, and HR professionals navigating the increasing complexity of\nmodern workplaces. Kate challenges traditional approaches to performance and\nconflict management\, offering practical insights into how authentic listening\nand meaningful dialogue can create safer\, more accountable\, and more connected\nteams. \nThroughout the episode\, we explore why slowing conversations down often leads\nto better long-term outcomes\, how asking thoughtful questions builds trust\,\nand why people are far more likely to follow rules and processes they helped\ncreate themselves. \nAt its heart\, this episode powerfully reminds us that conversations can\ntransform workplace culture\, strengthen relationships\, and create lasting\nimpact when we choose empathy over assumption and curiosity over control. \nWant to pick the brain of Kate Russell?

SUMMARY:Why Joy Is the Secret to Great Work with Chloe Lim
DESCRIPTION:Why Joy Is the Secret to Great Work\nWhat if joy isn’t the reward for great work\, but the way great work happens? \nIn this energising episode\, we’re joined by @Chloe\nLim to explore the serious business of\njoy and why playful excellence may be one of the most underestimated forces in\nlearning\, leadership and life. Together\, we challenge the long-held belief\nthat play is a distraction\, and instead reframe it as a powerful pathway to\ndeeper engagement\, creativity and impact. \nAt a time when burnout is worn as a badge of honour and mediocrity has quietly\nbecome the norm\, this conversation invites us to rethink what excellence\nreally looks like. From classrooms to boardrooms\, and in the everyday moments\nthat shape how we show up\, Chloe makes a compelling case for joy as a\ndiscipline\, not a luxury. \nDrawing on her unique journey from molecular biologist to performer\, alongside\nresearch in play\, positive psychology and leadership\, Chloe shares practical\nand thought-provoking insights on how joy\, story and curiosity can transform\nthe way we learn\, lead and connect. \nThis conversation is for leaders\, educators\, creatives\, parents and anyone\nready to move beyond disengagement and rediscover a sense of meaning in their\nwork and life. \nTogether\, we explore how playful excellence can deepen trust\, unlock potential\nand create environments where people can truly thrive. \nBecause when we treat joy as the standard\, not the exception\, we don’t just\nfeel better — we do better. \nWant to pick the brain of Chloe Lim?

SUMMARY:Leading with Humanity in the Age of AI with Emily Sauter
DESCRIPTION:Leading with Humanity in the Age of AI\nThere’s no shortage of opinions on artificial intelligence\, but much of the\nconversation remains focused on technology\, trends\, and tools. In this\nepisode\, we take a different path\, one that centres on human ingenuity\,\ndignity\, and potential in an AI-driven world. \nJoin Cookie and Emily Sauter\, Founder of A New Way Forward\, as they explore\nwhat it truly means to lead in this new era.

With a focus on clarity\, compassion\, and courage\,\nEmily shares practical insights into how leaders can navigate complexity while\nstaying grounded in what matters most: people. \nThis conversation is for leaders and teams ready to think differently about\nthe role of AI\, not as a replacement for human capability\, but as an\nopportunity to elevate it. \nExpect a thoughtful\, honest\, and at times unexpected conversation\, one that\nexplores the opportunities others aren’t talking about\, and invites us all to\nlead with greater intention in a rapidly changing world. \nWant to pick the brain of Emily Sauter?

DESCRIPTION:Finding Your Voice: How Storytelling Heals\, Connects and Transforms\nIn this powerful episode of Cuppa.tv\, we sit down with Hawanatu Bangura to explore the transformative power of storytelling as a pathway to healing\, identity\, and human connection. \nIn a world that is more connected than ever\, yet often feels deeply isolating\, Hawanatu shares why so many people have lost touch with their own voice. Drawing on her unique perspective as a filmmaker and social worker with over a decade of experience\, she reveals how storytelling can help individuals reconnect with their personal narratives\, make sense of their experiences\, and rediscover a sense of self. \nTogether\, we unpack the growing challenge of disconnection\, and how societal expectations and a lack of safe\, reflective spaces can leave people feeling unseen\, unheard\, and uncertain. Hawanatu offers a refreshing and deeply human approach\, emphasising the importance of creating trauma-informed environments where people feel safe to share\, reflect\, and be witnessed. \nThis conversation is especially meaningful for anyone navigating change\, identity shifts\, or a desire to show up more authentically\, alongside leaders and teams seeking to build deeper trust and connection. \nThrough practical insights and lived experience\, Hawanatu reminds us that: \n\nYour story has value\, even the parts you have overlooked\nYou do not need a perfect story to begin sharing\nCreating safe spaces can unlock powerful\, authentic conversations\n\nAt its heart\, this episode reflects Cuppa’s belief that meaningful conversations can create real impact\, helping us reconnect not only with others\, but with ourselves. \nWant to pick the brain of Hawanatu Bangura?

SUMMARY:The Real Reason Generations Clash at Work (It's Not What You Think) with Katie Iles
DESCRIPTION:The Real Reason Generations Clash at Work (It’s Not What You Think)\nSomeone in your leadership team is being called out of touch. Someone else is being called entitled. Both of them are right about each other — and both of them are wrong about why. \nIn this episode\, generational intelligence expert and leadership consultant reframes one of the most persistent frustrations in modern organisations: why leaders who are capable\, well-intentioned\, and genuinely committed to their people keep running into the same friction. \nThe answer isn’t a leadership deficit — it’s a system design problem. Today’s workplaces contain five generations operating across three fundamentally different models of work\, each carrying a distinct social contract around trust\, safety\, and merit. When those models collide\, the result looks like conflict\, disengagement\, or entitlement. Under pressure\, we interpret faster than we understand and that’s when generational difference becomes generational conflict. \nKatie makes the case that every generation is reaching for the same thing but meet those needs differently. The question isn’t how to manage people better. It’s how to design systems that make coherent sense across multiple human realities simultaneously. \nThis episode is for leaders who are navigating multigenerational teams in a rapidly changing world. \nWant to pick the brain of Katie Iles?

SUMMARY:Why Climate Action Fails Without Understanding Human Psychology with Emily Toner
DESCRIPTION:Why Climate Action Fails Without Understanding Human Psychology\nWhat if the greatest barrier to climate action isn’t technology or policy but\nthe human mind? \nIn this thought-provoking episode of Pick My Brain\, we speak with clinical\npsychologist Emily Toner about the hidden psychological forces shaping our\nresponse to the climate crisis. While innovation in renewable energy and\npolicy reform are critical\, Emily argues that a deeper challenge sits beneath\nit all: the emotional toll of living in an era of compounding crises. \nFrom climate grief and activist burnout to the quiet numbness many people feel\nwhen faced with overwhelming information\, stress and fear can push individuals\nand communities into what Emily calls “contractive states.” In these states\,\nour thinking narrows\, creativity diminishes\, and our capacity to act shrinks\nprecisely when bold ideas and collective action are needed most. \nDrawing on her work as a clinical psychologist\, along with insights from\nbehavioural neuroscience and wellbeing science\, Emily reframes the climate\nconversation through a powerful psychological lens. Referencing leading\nthinkers such as Antonio Damasio and Barbara Fredrickson\, she explores how\nemotions shape decision-making and why cultivating positive emotional states\ncan expand our ability to think strategically\, collaborate\, and take\nmeaningful action. \nThis conversation is especially relevant for social and environmental\nchangemakers\, purpose-driven leaders\, and anyone feeling the emotional weight\nof today’s global challenges. It offers practical and hopeful insights for\nnavigating overwhelm while staying engaged with the work that matters. \nTogether\, we explore how tending to our inner world is not a distraction from\nsolving global problems but a foundation for courageous\, creative\, and\nsustained action. \nKey takeaways include: \n\nWhy our ability to process emotions profoundly shapes individual and societal behaviour\nHow stress\, fear\, and burnout quietly narrow our thinking and limit our capacity to act\nWhy wellbeing\, joy\, and nervous system regulation are strategic tools for unlocking creativity\, resilience\, and meaningful change\n\nAt Cuppa\, we believe powerful conversations spark impact and this one invites\nus to rethink how human psychology shapes our collective future.\nWant to pick the brain of Emily Toner?

SUMMARY:Why Workplace Culture Breaks Under Pressure and How to Fix It with  Luke Evans
DESCRIPTION:Why Workplace Culture Breaks Under Pressure and How to Fix It\nIn this episode of Pick My Brain\, we sit down with Luke Evans to explore what\nit really takes to build resilient cultures that hold under pressure. \nMany organisations invest heavily in values\, engagement programs\, and\nwellbeing initiatives. Yet when pressure rises\, deadlines tighten\, or\nuncertainty hits\, behaviours shift and culture can quickly fracture. So why\ndoes this happen\, and what can leaders do differently? \nDrawing on nearly 20 years of experience working inside complex organisations\,\nLuke connects resilience and culture through a simple but powerful lens:\nbelief\, biology\, and behaviour. He shares why behaviour under pressure is\ndriven less by intention and more by how regulated and clear people are. When\nstress overrides regulation\, even the best cultural aspirations can unravel. \nThis conversation challenges the idea that wellbeing is a standalone\ninitiative. Instead\, Luke reframes wellbeing as an outcome shaped by\nleadership behaviour\, aligned systems\, and clarity of purpose. Together\, we\nexplore how resilience is not a personality trait but a capability that can be\ndeliberately built at both an individual and team level. \nSenior leaders\, founders\, and HR and people professionals will gain practical\ninsight into how to strengthen culture so it stabilises performance during\nchange rather than collapsing under it. \nKey takeaways include why regulation and emotional capability sit at the\nfoundation of sustainable culture\, why perks alone cannot drive wellbeing\, and\na clear framework for building resilience so culture holds when it is tested. \nBecause real impact is not created when things are easy. It is revealed when\nthey are hard. \nWant to pick the brain of Luke Evans? Click\nhere\n\nWatch here: https://www.youtube.com/live/6Dg2B9z7bL8?si=WlTByu89DAEYKjaJ

SUMMARY:Loneliness Is a Societal Problem -- Not a Personal Failure
DESCRIPTION:Loneliness Is a Societal Problem — Not a Personal Failure\nWe are more connected than ever\, yet more people than ever feel unseen.\nLoneliness is rising across generations — not because people are failing\, but\nbecause something in how we live\, work and relate has shifted. Too often\,\nloneliness is treated as something personal to fix quietly. At Cuppa\, we\nbelieve it’s something we face together. \nThis is the first Cuppa Movement Circle — a live\, virtual gathering designed\nto explore loneliness as a societal issue rather than a private flaw. It’s not\na webinar and it’s not a panel. It’s a structured\, facilitated conversation\nwhere diverse perspectives meet and the wider community is part of the\ndialogue. \nTogether\, we’ll explore what’s driving modern disconnection\, where loneliness\nis showing up in everyday life\, and what responsibility we share in responding\nto it. This is not about asking anyone to declare vulnerability. It’s about\ncreating understanding\, reducing stigma\, and identifying practical steps\nforward. \nThis conversation will be guided by members of the Cuppa Collective:\n Mike Morrison\nchallenges us to see loneliness through a structural lens\, encouraging a shift\nfrom individual blame to shared responsibility.\n Dr Jane Foster\noffers an evidence-informed perspective on wellbeing and human behaviour\,\ngrounding the discussion in research while keeping it practical.\n Annie Harvey\nadds depth in leadership and emotional awareness\, exploring how intentional\nconnection starts with how we show up for one another.\n Rev Jon Owen leads\nwith lived experience from the frontline of community life. As Pastor and CEO\nof Wayside Chapel in Sydney — a place committed to ‘no us and them’ — Jon’s\nwork centres on creating spaces where people feel seen\, accepted and truly\nmet. His voice reminds us why belonging matters and what it looks like in\npractice. \nYou’ll leave with greater clarity\, new perspectives\, and one meaningful action\nyou can take — in your workplace\, your community\, or your own relationships. \nLoneliness cannot be solved alone. But it can be softened when we approach it\nwith honesty\, curiosity and care. \nIf this conversation resonates\, we invite you to take your seat in the circle.\nJoin us live and be part of turning awareness into action. \nWant to pick the brains of our panel?

SUMMARY:Stop Running on Stress: The Peak Performance Reset  with Tom Cronin
DESCRIPTION:Stop Running on Stress: The Peak Performance Reset\nIn this episode of Pick My Brain\, we sit down with Tom Cronin to explore the\npowerful connection between mental health and peak performance\, and why so\nmany capable people are operating under unnecessary stress and unrealised\npotential. \nAcross workplaces and homes\, stress has become normalised. Yet constant\npressure\, reactive stress responses and mental overload are quietly eroding\nwellbeing\, clarity and performance. In this conversation\, Tom helps us go\ndeeper\, getting to the root cause of why stress responses show up in the first\nplace\, what they do to our nervous system and performance\, and what we can do\ndifferently to prevent them\, often in ways that surprise people. \nRather than relying on surface level fixes or pushing through\, this discussion\ninvites a shift in perspective. Tom shares practical insights into how we can\ninterrupt unhelpful patterns\, build inner stability and create the conditions\nfor sustained performance without burnout. \nThis conversation will benefit leaders\, entrepreneurs\, employees and parents\nwho want to feel calmer\, think more clearly and live with greater intention\nand impact. \nTogether\, we explore simple\, accessible strategies to support mental wellbeing\nand unlock more effective\, successful and fulfilling ways of living and\nworking.

SUMMARY:Everyone's a Teacher: Rethinking Workplace Learning with Maria Doyle
DESCRIPTION:Everyone’s a Teacher: Rethinking Workplace Learning\nIn this episode of Cuppa.tv\, we sit down with Maria Doyle to explore a\npowerful idea that challenges traditional workplace learning and leadership\nthinking: Everyone’s a teacher. \nWhether you are a leader\, manager\, specialist\, mentor\, parent\, coach\, or\nteammate\, if part of your role involves sharing knowledge\, this conversation\nis for you. Together\, we unpack why so much learning fails to land\, from death\nby PowerPoint and tick and flick online courses\, to chaotic induction\nprocesses and outdated\, top down\, lecture style workplace cultures. \nDrawing on over 30 years of international experience as a teacher\, learner\,\nteacher trainer\, instructional designer\, curriculum developer and education\nbased project manager\, Maria shares practical insights into what actually\nhelps people learn\, retain information\, and apply it in meaningful ways. This\nis not about more content\, but about better connection\, clearer intention\, and\nlearning experiences designed to create real change. \nThis conversation invites us to rethink how we transfer knowledge and the\nresponsibility we all carry when we do. It shows how learning can become\nengaging\, human and effective\, rather than something people endure. \nYou will walk away with practical takeaways on how to connect with your\naudience\, how to construct a learning experience that works every time\, and\nhow to communicate more effectively using learning resources. Most\nimportantly\, you will be reminded that when learning is done well\, it has the\npower to shape culture\, unlock potential\, and create lasting impact\, one\nconversation at a time. \nWant to pick the brain of Maria Doyle?

SUMMARY:Stories that Stir
DESCRIPTION:Cuppa Co-Lab & [Stories that Stir®](https://www.storiesthatstir.com/event-\ndetails-registration/cuppa-co-lab-stories-that-stir-r-collaboration-belonging)\nCollaboration – BELONGING \nStories that Stir ®  is delighted to be joining forces with Cuppa\nCo-Lab to bring you a special event designed to break down barriers\, stir\nconversation and inspire positive change. \nDetails: Come and listen to six Cuppa Collective storytellers\, who will\neach share their 10-minute raw and personal stories\, linked to the theme\nBELONGING\, in all its shapes and forms. \nCuppa Co-Lab is Cuppa TV’s purpose-built home in Barangaroo\, created to bring\npeople together for meaningful conversation and genuine collaboration. \nThe space has been designed to spark ideas\, deepen dialogue and create the\nkind of impact that extends well beyond the room. It’s where leaders\, creators\nand teams don’t just meet\, they truly connect and reflect. \nTickets include a delicious grazing table to enjoy before the storytelling\nbegins. Food allergies are catered to. \nMeet your Storytellers: \nBearing Witness – Peter Baines \nBaines would spend months leading the International operations in the\nidentification of 5395 bodies after the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami. Much of this\ntime was spent either dealing directly with the bodies of those who died or\nthe families left behind. During his time in Thailand he was given an\nultimatum that would irreversibly change his life. He found himself living in\na hostel without the financial means to support himself\, and at that point\, he\nfounded the charity Hands Across the Water to support children in Thailand\nleft without parents. \nPho-Real – Naomi Cao \nNaomi arrived in Australia as a four year old Vietnamese refugee. With no\nknowledge of English\, and a name that many could not pronounce\, she was\nbaptised into Australian culture at the school VFL Grand Final parade. She\nlearned to adapt fast. Years later she changed her name at uni to fit in. It\ndidn’t. Belonging \, as it turns out\, wasn’t that simple! \nLost Belonging – Adam Axford \nAdam shares a true story of a Southeast Asian village where he once felt more\nat home than anywhere else in the world. What began as a search for freedom\nbecame a reckoning with consequence\, exile and identity. Through vivid\nstorytelling and spoken word\, he explores what happens when a place you love\nno longer welcomes you back. \nSpared – Alfred Chidembo \nIn 1979\, amid Zimbabwe’s liberation war\, a pregnant mother gambled everything\non a perilous journey to the city\, crossing a road laced with hidden death\nwhile her children watched in silence. Weeks later\, the child she carried was\nborn. Decades on\, that boy\, Alfred\, would walk barefoot to school\, earn a PhD\nin Australia\, and return hope to his village through books. Living proof that\nsurvival sometimes carries a purpose. \nHome Within – Nerissa Trindade \nBorn in India and shaped by the silence that often surrounds difference\,\nNerissa grew up believing belonging was something to be earned. As a queer\nperson of colour building a new life in Australia\, they searched for\nacceptance in communities\, careers\, and labels\, until they discovered what\nthey had been seeking all along: a home within. \nShedding Labels – Hawanatu Bangura \nFrom Sierra Leone to Australia\, Hawanatu’s journey of belonging unfolds\nthrough the labels placed on her. Skin colour\, migration\, and expectation\nshape her world until she begins to peel them away. What remains is a\npowerful truth: belonging is not something you earn\, but something you choose. \n* Trigger warning: Story content may include sensitive topics such as\ntrauma\, suicide\, death etc. \n\nEvent Details: \n\nDate: Thursday 26th March\nTime: Doors open 6pm\nVenue: Cuppa Co-Lab Space\, Suite 2\, Level 1\, 300 Barangeroo Avenue\, International Towers\, Tower Three\nAdditional Information:Enter via door outside Wild Sage Cafe to the right of Woolworths Metro and look for the Cuppa Representative\n\nWatch here: https://www.storiesthatstir.com/event-details-registration/cuppa-co-lab-stories-that-stir-r-collaboration-belonging

SUMMARY:Stop Staying Small: The Inner Work Behind Bold Leadership with Petra Williams
DESCRIPTION:Stop Staying Small: The Inner Work Behind Bold Leadership\nIn this powerful episode of Cuppa.tv\, we sit down with Petra Williams to\nexplore what it really means to be more real with ourselves and with each\nother\, and why honest conversations are often the gateway to a more fulfilling\nlife and leadership journey. \nSo many people stay silent to avoid discomfort\, telling themselves they are\nchoosing peace. Yet beneath the surface\, that silence can create anxiety\,\nloneliness and a quiet sense of dissatisfaction. The job feels fine\, the\nrelationship is okay\, but life feels flat. There is a knowing that there is\nmore within us and more available to us\, and that living below our potential\ncomes at a cost. \nTogether\, we unpack the questions many people are carrying. Who am I at this\nstage of my life and career? Is this really me? Is this all there is? Petra\ninvites us to consider a new self image grounded in possibility\, courage and\npermission to play bigger\, even when it means rocking the boat. Because\nmeaningful change often begins with brave decisions. \nDrawing on Jungian shadow work and a deeply practical coaching approach\, Petra\nshares how real change happens from the inside out. When we work through our\ninner resistance\, clarity follows. Boundaries become easier. Assertiveness\nfeels natural. Action replaces overthinking. \nThis conversation is especially relevant for women in mid life leadership\,\nconsulting and business roles who carry a lot of responsibility and unspoken\nexpectations. \nYou will walk away with a fresh way to relate to yourself\, one where\nfulfilment and success can coexist\, and where honest conversations become a\npowerful catalyst for impact. \nWant to pick the brain of Petra Williams?
