Tune into the Work Savvy podcast for a fortnightly dose of inspiration and insights on Leadership and Self-Mastery.
Host Karen Gately talks to leading experts and successful business leaders about being a great leader of people and thriving at both work and in life.
Our guests are people who have learned powerful lessons through experience and share their wisdom through the inspiring stories they tell.
In our WTF @ Work segment we talk about some of the crazier things that happen in the workplace. While there is often a serious lesson to be learned from the stories we share, we also manage to have a laugh at just how absurd people and workplaces can be.
We can’t wait for you to listen and learn how to Work Savvy!

Episode 137: Your DNA: Optimising Energy & Performance
Why do two equally capable leaders follow the exact same routine, yet one thrives while the other burns out?
In this episode of Work Savvy, Karen is joined by executive performance advisor and author Alessandra Edwards to explore the core concepts behind her book, The DNA of Performance: Your Blueprint for Leading with Unstoppable Energy and Resilience. Together, they unpack why generic advice on time management, sleep, and exercise often falls short - and why understanding your unique biology is the missing link to sustainable high performance.
Alessandra shares how the latest science in genomics, nutrition, and neuroscience can help leaders identify their "DNA Energy Signature" and build a customized blueprint for focus, resilience, and vitality. They discuss practical ways to work with your biology instead of against it, allowing leaders to sustain peak energy without risking burnout.

Episode 135: Inflection Leadership: Leading through Change
How do leaders navigate unprecedented disruption, changing workforce expectations, and rapid technological shifts without getting caught in a cycle of reactive chaos?
In this episode of Work Savvy, Karen sits down with Chris Power, founder of Power Projects and author of the whitepaper Inflection Leadership. Together, they explore what it takes to lead ahead of the curve during critical turning points - or "inflection points" - where external pressures like AI, market instability, and shifting employee expectations demand a new approach to strategy and culture. Chris shares key insights on why most workers now cite "hope" as their most needed leadership trait and how leaders can provide an optimistic, clear vision to galvanise their teams.
They dive into the core framework of Inflection Leadership and offer practical guidance for stepping out of the operational grind, creating alignment, and building resilient operating systems. If you’re ready to stop scrambling to survive change and start turning complexity into growth, this episode is a must-listen.
