In our first episode, we talk to the lovely Heidi Pollard from UQ Power. Heidi has spent over 20 years uncovering what makes a great leader and coaches leaders to grow their unique brand and have a greater impact. She's on a mission to nurture conscious leaders who inspire and influence others to unleash their strengths so they can love their work. We talked about the current climate of transformational change in the world and the impact it’s having on business, workplace challenges facing leaders and what it takes to adapt to these challenges. I absolutely love her ethos and have learned a lot from our conversations, I’m sure you will too.

Inspiring employees to become brand advocates

"I look for the ones that are passionate about creating positive change; because you can always develop a set of skills, but you can’t teach character. I've found that going on this journey helps bring out the best in people, it gives them fulfilment and benefits beyond the financial profit. Which is exactly what intrinsic motivation is all about. It's a win-win and it’s how we choose to do business. It’s the beginning of building a Conscious Brand." – Luke reflects on our recent Purpose-driven Community Talk; this month we unpacked the topic, ‘Inspiring employees to become brand advocates’.

Why money won’t fix a money issue

A trip to India is said to be an ‘assault on the senses’. It is also like a fuel-injection for the mind. Among the many, many reflections, learnings and inspirational experiences I gathered on a recent trip, was a new perspective on the importance of socially-conscious business practices for all the world’s citizens.

Finding home in the hum-drum

Over this past week; I am reminded to take my place in ownership, giving each tick to my to-dos the meaning it always had. It is said that when you give, it will be given to you and I am beginning to see Mezzanine as more than a name I am associated with.

The thing about collaboration

Like the perfect combination of salty sweet in a peanut butter and honey sandwich, collaboration can be a beautiful thing. When teamed with the right people who share similar drive and purpose to you, collaboration can push you to places you didn’t think possible, stretching and reshaping your perception of what is tried and true.
