Saying “yes” feels easy in the moment, but it often comes at a cost. In this episode of Leadership Unlocked, we unpack one of the most challenging skills for leaders: learning how to say "no". We explore why so many of us default to yes, the impact it has on individuals and teams, and practical strategies for setting boundaries, building self-awareness, and using “no” as a powerful tool to create space for success.Louise's LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/louise-connor-71bb65bAllie's LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/allierosenResources Hub: https://corporate-edge.com.au/resources-hub/Related Resource: https://www.sunitasah.com/defy

As a leader, it’s tempting to jump in and fix problems yourself, but doing so can disempower your team and leave you burnt out. In this episode of Leadership Unlocked, we sit down with John Colbert, Director of Corporate Edge, to explore the art of stepping back to move forward. We unpack how to know when to pause, when to give direction, and when to step in with purpose so that you can empower your team, build accountability, and create permanent impact.Louise's LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/louise-connor-71bb65bJohn's LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/johncolbert75Resources Hub: https://corporate-edge.com.au/resources-hub/

In this episode of Leadership Unlocked, we unpack the productivity paradox, an exhausting cycle of working harder but not actually moving forward. We explore the hidden signs of burnout, why leaders and teams get stuck in “busy mode,” and share practical strategies to help you reset your approach and lead with clarity, balance, and impact.Louise's LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/louise-connor-71bb65bSophie's LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/sophie-fahey-she-her-mahri-328b3b80Resources Hub: www.corporate-edge.com.au/resources-hub

In our final episode of the season, we’re tackling a question so many have asked themselves: Why didn’t I get that promotion? We’re going out with a bang, unpacking this from both sides of the leadership fence. From the individual’s perspective, we explore the skills and behaviours leaders are really looking for when it's time to promote someone into a bigger role, and from a leader’s lens, we dive into the importance of having meaningful career conversations, setting clear expectations, and fostering a psychologically safe environment where team members feel empowered to voice their aspirations.More resources: https://corporate-edge.com.au/resources-hub/Louise's LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/louise-connor-71bb65bDan's LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/danczuraCheck out our podcast site: https://corporate-edge.com.au/leadership-unlocked-podcast/
