<p class="isSelectedEnd">Welcome to Wagstaff Wisdom with me, Ruth Forster.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">This episode is a little different.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">Recently, I joined Charlotte Sykes as a guest on her Kitchen Table Conversations series, where we explored a topic that sits quietly underneath so many workplace behaviours and leadership challenges, trauma and the impact personal experiences can have on the way we lead, communicate and relate to others.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">This was Charlotte's conversation and her space to open up an honest discussion around leadership, mental health and emotional awareness in the workplace. It was raw, reflective and very human.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">Together, we discussed questions many organisations are quietly facing:<br /> Why do some people shut down under pressure?<br /> Why do some leaders struggle to trust or delegate?<br /> Why do teams sometimes avoid honest conversations?</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">Not to excuse behaviour, but to better understand what may sit beneath it.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">For Mental Health Awareness Week, it felt like an important conversation to share here on Wagstaff Wisdom too, because leadership is not only about performance and results. It is also about self awareness, relationships and understanding people more deeply.</p> <p>So, here is my conversation with Charlotte Sykes on Kitchen Table Conversations.</p>

<p>Ruth was a guest on this episode discussing <em>Menopause in the Workplace</em>—she didn’t want to do it!</p> <p>Why? Because it makes her uncomfortable. She finds the topic difficult to navigate, both personally and professionally, and she’s worried about saying the wrong thing.</p> <p>However, alongside expert guest speaker Jo Jinks from Synergise HR, they not only discussed the legal aspects but also broke down misconceptions and provided actionable insights for line managers, along with practical advice for employees.</p> <p>If you feel the same as Ruth, this is well worth a listen.</p> <p> </p>
