What's Amplify? Here's a 90 second sneak peek!

"I want my life to be bigger than the fears that I have." In August 2019 Nicole experienced a traumatic injury, and spent the next 18+ months recovering physically, emotionally and mentally. In this episode we explore the challenges she has overcome, the importance of mindset and how her journey reminded her that true beauty and true love is found in being her whole authentic self. Her mantra "this is not me, this is not my story" is an inspiration and shows the power of giving yourself the love, compassion and support you need during difficult times.

There was a time when Georgia didn't know who Darryl Braithwaite was. But we can forgive her for that because of the joy and energy she brings to this episode! With a career working in the family business, Georgia not only champions for successful independents, but the people around her. Over time, she has learned the importance of advocating for herself too by being comfortable with and embracing who she is. We love the message "don't dim your light" and can't wait for you all to start the "take the compliment!" challenge she has set for us!

"Give things a go, put your hand up, ask questions."With over 20 years of experience in IT, Helen Harms has had to continue to develop her skills. In this episode we hear how her development is no longer a once-a-year event, nor is it reliant on formal training and education. No, Helen's approach to development today is simple, pragmatic and ongoing. We know you'll love putting some of her tips into practice!

You won't find someone more down to earth than DJ! In this episode, Danielle Jenkinson - Executive General Manager Retail Channels (Food) shares her learnings, advice and tips to overcome the inner critic that often holds us back. "Backing Myself" highlights ways to find compassion and confidence from within as we hear Danielle share her career story, and find out she isn't always as cool, calm and collected as she looks! (And wait till you hear her story about the mussel-eating competition!)

Has fear and self-doubt held you back? Do you sometimes need reminding of what you're capable of? Megs can relate. She was encouraged by people she worked with to apply for a role that had come available - and her first reaction was no. Hear how Megs navigated this situation, overcame her fears and put her hand up for a new opportunity! You'll love Megs' raw and honest sharing and her advice to others looking for the courage to step outside of their comfort zone (and be inspired by her cool Grandma too!).

Balancing It All is a topic we know you want to hear about! Whether you're balancing work with health (physical and mental), with study, with kids or life in general - we hear it from a lot of women (and men) that they struggle to keep up and balance all those important aspects of our lives. In this episode we hear from Delia Sparkes, who is ruthlessly disciplined on how and where she spends her time and how her family operates to make sure the load is shared. She'll tell you herself, she can fall back into old habits of 'taking everything on myself', but she's got some great tips and proven tactics to prioritise where she spends her time and energy, and maintain the 'balance' in her life as best she can. We think you'll love her ideas on how to put yourself first and stay guilt free!

Do you want an alternative to full-time work but without giving up the role that you love? Here's an episode you'll love.Faced with the ambition to keep their substantial role whilst also juggling a family, Nic & Kym didn't want to compromise on job satisfaction. Instead, they entered into a job-share arrangement where they, literally, share the one full-time role. They each work 3 days per week and alternate their days so that the full-time role they share still gets delivered whilst they are away from the office. In this episode we explore how this arrangement works for them, for those around them and the benefits to Metcash.And if you're a leader looking for alternative ways to support your team, this flexible arrangement may be one you want to encourage!

Hailing from Far North Queensland, being authentic and genuine was always something that came naturally to Katherine (or Kitty to those that know her). Being unapologetically herself and leading with purpose is one of her many super powers and in this episode we explore how "just being you" has huge benefits not only for you, but for your customers and the business. While acknowledging that it's not always that simple, you'll love Kitty's thoughts on how to stay true to yourself, be comfortable in your own skin and be the you that you are most proud of. (And we love that she sings in the car as she drives!)
