Ripping Up The Rule Book Podcast
Episode 5
I’m joined by Claire Ackers, CEO & Co-Founder of WildEdge Worx.
We’re ripping up the rule book on growth and leadership. Claire shares how stepping out of the boardroom and into nature can reveal the cultural rules that hold organisations back, and how to build human, aligned, and resilient teams.
Episode 4
I’m joined by Charlotte Slater, Founder and Director of The Workplace Collective.
We’re ripping up the rule book on leadership. Too many managers are promoted by accident — brilliant people with little leadership support. Charlotte shares how human-behaviour-based, person-centred skills can bridge the gap between conventional training and real-world performance.
Episode 3
In this episode of Ripping Up The Rulebook, we’re joined by Sophie Sneddon, Strategic PR expert and copywriter.
Sophie works with founders and growing brands to shape how they show up in the world. But here’s the reality — so many brilliant leaders hold themselves back from being visible.
So today, we’re ripping up the rule book on confidence and visibility.
In this conversation, we explore how imposter syndrome doesn’t just affect individuals — it can shape brands, leadership impact, and even organisational culture.
Episode 2
In this episode of Ripping Up The Rulebook, we’re joined by the CEO of Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice for an inspiring conversation about leading with purpose.
Running a children’s hospice is leadership in its most human form. Every decision, every conversation, and every cultural choice has a real and lasting impact on families, teams, and communities.
Episode 1
In our very first episode of Ripping Up The Rulebook, Michelle sits down with Louise to uncover the story that started it all.
This conversation goes back to the beginning — the journey behind Culture Minds.
Louise shares how the evolution of traditional Human Resources into People & Culture sparked a powerful realisation: organisations can achieve extraordinary results when they truly prioritise their people.
After a long and successful corporate career, Louise made a bold decision — to step away from the security of corporate life and pursue a dream of building a business dedicated to helping progressive leaders create workplaces where people and performance thrive together.
