Netwomen Uncut is the workplace conflict resolution and executive coaching podcast for leaders who would rather fix conflict than lose people over it. Hosted by Pinky Ghadiali, CMC Accredited Mediator and EMCC Executive Conflict Coach, exploring mediation, difficult conversations, and leadership under pressure- topics most C-suite, legal, and HR leaders avoid. Pinky doesn't just mediate or coach; she builds relationships back, so you don't lose people, money, or reputation. Want to be a guest? Mediators, HR and legal leaders, and executive coaches.

Episode 83 - From Growth Director to Clarity Coach
Pinky sits down with Alina, who spent years scaling a fitness studio's growth numbers. Now she coaches leaders on the one thing most of them are missing under pressure: clarity.
In this episode, Alina Cooper, leadership coach and associate at Clarity, unpacks what chasing growth taught her about what actually breaks leaders, why "clarity" isn't a soft skill, and how leaders "churn" their own teams without realising it.
We also talk about the offsite day and group coaching we're building together, blending conflict resolution with leadership clarity because sometimes people don't need another course; they need a room.

Episode 82 - From Joining a Team to Leading it at Active Insight
What does it actually feel like to step into the top seat of a company that isn't yours yet, but suddenly is? In this episode of Netwomen Uncut, Pinky sits down with Julie Allen, Managing Director of Active Insight, to talk about her journey from joining the team in 2022 to leading it in 2026.
Julie opens up about rebuilding a core product from scratch in her first weeks, the moment she was made Director, and what nobody tells you about taking over from the founders who built the company you now lead. We also talk candidly about being the only or first woman in the room at senior level; the real challenges that come with it, and how she's turned that into an outcome she's proud of. Julie's also a firm advocate for coaching, and shares how having a professional development coach has shaped her growth as a leader. It's an honest, relatable conversation about ambition, self-doubt, and what it really takes to grow into a role before you feel ready for it.
Whether you're stepping into leadership for the first time or navigating your own succession story, this one's for you.

Episode 81 - Sip and Learn Socials
This week on Netwomen Uncut, Pinky is joined by Amanda Rumball makeup artist, social media and marketing strategist, and the woman behind the brilliant @sipandlearn.
They've known each other for three years, built a friendship, met in person in Lisbon in 2024, and have spent a lot of time since talking about travel, building businesses across borders, and what it really means to design a life that works on your terms.
Amanda is doing exactly that, she's packing up and moving to Lyon, France, and running her business from there. In this episode they get into what that decision actually looks like behind the scenes, how Amanda manages clients, creative work, and a killer social presence while living and working across Europe, and why community, real, in-person community, matters even when you're location-independent.
They also talk about what so many business owners get wrong on social media. If you're a business owner, a creative, or someone quietly googling "how do I move abroad and keep my business running", this one's for you.

Episode 40 - From CIA to CEO
Published 22 Jan 2023 · Transcript excerpt
[…] And just really see what I was made of in a totally different capacity. And so I chose plan B. There was no real reason to leave. I did it. I wasn't unhappy. I wasn't bored. I just felt comfortable. And I don't like feeling comfortable because I like, I like a challenge. I like testing myself and stretching myself and pushing myself. And so I thought, look, let me go out into the unknown and try something totally new. If I find something that I love in this fulfilling, I can obviously, I'll keep doing it. And if for any reason, I feel like I've made a mistake, I can always go back. So that was the thought process. […]
