Constance Aloe is not your typical HR leader, and Distinctive People is far from your average beige HR team. Based in Sydney, Constance balances life as a business founder, wife, and mum, a juggle that keeps her grounded and connected to the very real challenges leaders face beyond the boardroom.

With more than 20 years’ experience spanning telcos to tech scale-ups, Constance uncovered the secret many leaders miss: HR is not about rules, it is about linking behaviour to commercial outcomes. When done right, HR should be the growth engine of your business, not a cost centre.

In this episode, Constance and I discuss:

  • The journey from employee to entrepreneur 
  • From ping pong tables to purpose – why perks don’t create culture
  • The importance of creating people-centred cultures
  • Scaling without losing your soul 
  • Habits and routines for productivity and success 

And much, much more.

Betrayal Season 5

Betrayal Season 5

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
