An extra special season finale - we're joined by Harriet Minter, the award-winning broadcaster, writer, coach, sex therapist-in-training and workplace revolutionary... this episode truly has it all!
Harriet has spent decades writing about and changing the future of work. She famously launched the Guardian's Women in Work section, has appeared on the BBC, Sky News, and sparring with Piers Morgan on the GMB sofa. She hosted a top ten business podcast, has two TED talks and two books on leadership and hybrid work.
Harriet and I went behind the scenes of her illustrious career, exploring how her childhood shapes her views about women and work, her mid-life-crisis, and how she overcame childhood traumas and fears about money. She shared how her diabetes diagnosis shifted her approach to work and how looking at our personal relationship styles can actually tell us a lot about improving our work relationships.
