Chris is a communications coach, mentor, and speaker with over 30 years of experience in the public and private sectors. He draws on practical knowledge and the latest research to help leaders speak more effectively.

Did you know that 8 out of 10 of the most requested skills within workplaces are 'soft skills'. These skills, including communication, leadership, and emotional intelligence; are becoming increasingly valued in organisations because they're the skills that make us uniquely human. They can't be outsourced, they can't be automated and they can't be replaced by machine learning.

If you're anything like us you'll have a bit of a tendency to cringe whenever you hear the terms 'Workplace Health & Safety' or 'OH&S'.

Just the mention of workplace safety can conjure up images of endless paperwork, red tape and tick boxes.

However this doesn't have to be the case, and nor should it be.

In today's interview we are delighted to be join by the Founder of Key Consultation Solutions, Kathy Clarkson.

Throughout our conversation together Kathy shared her expertise one why Workplace Health and Safety is so much more than what a lot of us have in mind. 

We felt personally touched by Kathy's story of what led her to become passionate about Workplace Health & Safety, and we also left the conversation feeling enlightened about the importance of workplaces proactively looking after their staff's wellbeing.

As Kathy shared with us "this isn't just ticking boxes and red tape, it's making sure that at the end of the working day everyone gets to go home to their families a in the same state, or an even better state than, they were in that morning"

Buckle up because we're dealing out some tough truths in today's episode. Too often we see good businesses be crippled by hiring the wrong people too quickly or by holding on to the wrong people for way too long. One of the best pieces of advice we were ever given was to "hire slow and fire fast". But how do you do that in a healthy way? And how do you know when it's time to let someone go?

If you have a gut feeling that some of the people on your team may not be the right fit for the culture or the organisation you're creating then this is the episode for you.
