Community, Clarity, and Conversations That Move Engineering Forward

Welcome

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the book launch for The Lifestyle Business Playbook by Daniel Priestley, an energising evening packed with ideas, connections, and inspiration.

Over the past few months, I’ve been diving into Daniel’s books and learning a tonne about sustainable business building. Highly recommend his work if you’re thinking about scaling with intention and staying aligned to your values. Moments like these remind me that community and conversation are fuel for progress.

Is Your Organisation SAFE?

Back by popular demand, I’m running the final FREE workshop of 2025 introducing The SAFE Leader Framework. This is a great way to explore how to build trust, wellbeing, and inclusive leadership into your safety strategy.

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • The four pillars of SAFE: Share, Act, Feel, Empower

  • How to assess how “SAFE” your organisation truly is

  • Practical strategies for fostering trust and wellbeing

  • Tips for building a culture of psychological safety

  • Storytelling techniques to inspire others

This Week on The SAFE Leader Podcast

What happens when purpose meets engineering?

In this episode, I sit down with Téa Phillips, founder of ATS Innovations and creator of the MetaFlex glove, a medical device designed to restore mobility and dignity.

Téa shares:

  • The personal story behind her innovation

  • What it really takes to bring a product to market

  • Why women founders face bias in investment

  • How her engineering mindset became her superpower

This is a powerful episode for anyone interested in inclusion-led innovation, entrepreneurship, or the future of human-centred design.
