No One Told Me This

About No One Told Me This

No One Told Me This is a podcast about leadership, teams, and workplace culture, not as they’re meant to work, but as they’re actually experienced. Hosted by Paul, the show explores the unspoken realities of working with people, the assumptions we make, the tensions we avoid, and the things we often learn the hard way. Through solo reflections, candid conversations, and the occasional deep dive, it’s a space to make sense of how work really gets done. From culture drift and team dynamics to decision-making under pressure, each episode takes a grounded, thoughtful look at what leadership looks like in practice, especially when things aren’t neat or predictable. Because sometimes the most important lessons aren’t the ones we’re taught. They’re the ones no one told us… or maybe we just weren’t listening.

   S02E09 - Letting Go Is Part of Leadership

   Send us Fan Mail One of the hardest lessons in leadership is learning to let go. After years of solving problems, holding key relationships and being the person everyone relies on, being needed can become closely tied to a leader’s sense of value. In this episode, I explore the indispensable leader playbook: holding onto knowledge, decisions and influence while wondering why everyone remains dependent on you. I also look at selective letting go, what happens when the business performs perfect...

   S02E08 - The Hidden Rules Inside Every Team

   Send us Fan Mail Every team has rules. Some are written down. Most are not. They show up in what gets rewarded, what gets ignored, what people are allowed to challenge, and what everyone learns to work around. In this episode of No One Told Me This, I explore the hidden rules that exist inside every team, and how they quietly shape behaviour over time. These hidden rules are rarely announced. They are usually learned through experience. If poor behaviour gets ignored, that teaches the team so...
