Podcast #25, Pride Month AMA, and Your Invite to Join The SAFE Leader Journey
Welcome
This week started with fantastic news. Rolls-Royce SMR, one of our key EqualEngineers members and a pioneering client of The SAFE Leader training, has been selected by the UK government to build the first wave of small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs).
This is not only a huge win for the UK's clean energy future, but also a proud moment for us. Rolls-Royce SMR trusted us early on to deliver The SAFE Leader programme, our first cohort with them recently wrapped up, and plans are underway for the next.
You can read more about the announcement from the UK government here.

Ask Me Anything — Pride Month Special

This Pride Month, I invite all of you to an open and honest Ask Me Anything session with me.
This is a moment to pause, reflect, and speak freely about what’s on your mind, whether it’s about identity, leadership, belonging, mental health, inclusion at work, or simply how life is going right now.
There’s no script and no judgment. Just a group of people showing up with curiosity, compassion, and the willingness to listen and share.
🌈 Open to all, LGBTQIA+ folks, allies, and anyone who wants to learn or connect.
🗓️ 26 June at 2.30PM
Minisode #25
This week marks our 25th episode of The SAFE Leader Podcast, and for this one, it’s just me.
No guest. Just a moment to reflect.
I talk about how relocating to New York prompted a deeper commitment to this work, the origin of the SAFE framework (Share, Act, Feel, Empower), and how I’m seeing it play out with clients, colleagues, and across industry.
You’ll also hear honest thoughts on the challenges of inclusion, especially for majority groups who often feel left out, and why meeting people where they are is essential to building safer, more inclusive cultures.
