This week, we welcome back Simon Lamb - founder of Purposeful Change and expert in the human side of organisational transformation to tackle a question that’s more relevant than ever: When is work… therapy?
As the boundaries between coaching, therapy, leadership development, and personal growth blur, many leaders find themselves navigating conversations that go far beyond KPIs. Together, we explore:
- The crucial distinction between what’s therapeutic and what’s actually therapy at work
- How our personal histories and beliefs show up in our leadership styles
- The “vulnerability hangover” and the need for psychological safety after deep work conversations
- Why coaching isn’t a loophole for therapy - and the importance of holding boundaries
- Simon’s practical framework for growth: Awareness, Intention, Discipline
- The impact of AI on our capacity for deep, human breakthrough thinking
Simon shares real stories, practical tools, and a candid take on why adaptive leaders, those who can sit with discomfort and keep asking better questions will shape the future of work.
Work isn’t therapy, but it can be a powerful mirror. Listen in for insights on leading with more awareness, purpose, and humanity.
