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.
