Judith Formston, Deputy Chief Executive of Corporate Services at the Department of Health and Wellbeing SA, joins us in this episode to discuss authentic leadership. Judith shares her experience leading others by showing her human side, which helps her team realise she is just like everyone else. She also provides strategies for how her organisation fosters connections to create a safe space where everyone is invited and feels that they can express themselves freely through a range of initiatives, that help workers to disconnect from the workplace, but connect with each other, including coffee breaks, Friday night wines, groups, and communities of practice.

In the final episode of our first series, we explore the seventh dimension of organisational health, the relational dimension, which is all about learning and development.

David Powell, author, founder, and life skills mentor of The Golden Thread, joins Andy in this enlivening discussion to provide ways that L&D managers can offer learning and development opportunities that build self, relationship, and team interpersonal skills to empower their workforce in their lifelong learning journey to mastery.

This week in episode five, we continue to explore the theme of employee experience by looking into one of the crucial factors that impact this positively or negatively, an organisation’s culture. Workplace culture is our fifth relational dimension of organisational health.

Cherie Canning from Luminate Leadership joins us to discuss this essential topic.
