BWA Podcast Show: Leading in Uncertain Times: AI, Culture and Courage with Marion Burchell

AI and emerging technologies are reshaping the way we work, lead and make decisions. Successful adoption is about far more than the technology itself.

In this episode of the Business Women Australia Podcast, Karina Seng speaks with Marion Burchell about the leadership and cultural conditions needed for organisations to embrace AI, innovation and continuous learning.

Together, they explore why leaders need to become more comfortable with uncertainty, why admitting “I don’t know” can build rather than diminish trust, and how perfectionism can quietly stifle innovation. The conversation also examines the pivotal role of middle managers, who are often expected to translate ambitious technology strategies into everyday practice while managing already stretched teams and competing priorities.

Marion shares her perspective on how organisations can create safer workplaces for experimentation, where people are encouraged to try, test, share, learn and adapt without fear of blame. She also considers how an excessive focus on immediate outcomes can prevent organisations from building the curiosity, capability and confidence required for longer-term growth.

Don’t miss this episode as we delve into Marion’s thoughts about Australia’s position in the global innovation landscape. With our natural resources, research capability, strategic location, trusted institutions and relative stability, we will explore what it takes to become a confident creator and leader rather than simply a consumer of technologies developed elsewhere.

BWA Podcast Show: Recode Your Inner World: The New Era of Conscious Leadership

We live in a world obsessed with productivity – a culture that glorifies busyness, applauds achievement, and measures worth by output. When the pace becomes unsustainable and exhaustion sets in, the solution we’re offered is simple: recharge. Take a weekend off. Have a bubble bath. Breathe.

But what if what we truly need isn’t another fleeting recharge – what if it’s time to recode?

In this deeply reflective conversation, Lyn Hawkins chats with Vida Carlino, Director of My Vida and the Inspiration Space – a pioneer in women’s conscious leadership, to explore what it means to move beyond surface-level recovery into profound inner renewal.

Vida invites us to see that recode is not about fixing ourselves. It’s about remembering who we already are beneath the layers of conditioning and expectation. It’s a process of returning to authenticity by cultivating deep self-awareness, compassion, and acceptance of every part of ourselves.

Through three decades of guiding women in leadership and transformation, Vida has witnessed the immense power that emerges when we stop striving to improve and start awakening to our true nature. From this place of grounded being, emotional reset becomes possible, not as a reaction to burnout, but as a conscious act of alignment with one’s values, integrity, and inner wisdom.

Together, Lyn and Vida unpack the myths of busyness, the cycles of overwhelm, and the quiet courage required to lead from presence rather than pressure. Their conversation is a reminder that the most profound leadership begins not with doing more, but with being more wholly ourselves.

If you’ve ever felt that rest alone doesn’t touch the deeper fatigue within, this episode will guide you toward a richer form of renewal — one anchored in awareness, acceptance, and the art of living and leading consciously.

Listen Now

If you’ve ever felt the need to pause – to breathe, to reflect, to reset – this episode is for you.

Tune in to the Business Women Australia Podcast Show — and discover why rest is not a retreat from leadership, but the foundation of it.

BWA Podcast Show: The Execution Challenge: Decisions, Governance and Organisational Debt with Rebecca Lythgo

Organisational friction exists in every organisation. It is the drag that emerges when the organisation’s strategy, decisions, governance, operating model, systems, ways of working and capacity no longer align well enough to enable execution.

It appears in private enterprise, government, not-for-profits and social-purpose organisations. Leaders experience it as repeated delays, unclear decisions, competing priorities, duplicated effort, approval bottlenecks, initiative overload, inconsistent accountability, and capable people who cannot gain traction.

From an Executive Leadership Team perspective, organisational friction is rarely a single operational issue. It is often the visible consequence of accumulated organisational debt: decisions deferred, roles left unclear, processes added but not retired, governance layers that outlive their purpose, or transformation initiatives layered over legacy ways of working.

In this episode of the Business Women Australia Podcast, BWA Director Lyn Hawkins speaks with Rebecca Lythgo, a leader in enterprise performance, about how CEOs, ELTs and boards can recognise the hidden constraints quietly affecting organisational performance.

Drawing on her experience across strategy, commercial performance, operating models, governance and organisational capability, Rebecca brings an executive lens to the everyday challenges that consume leadership attention. She explores why the issue presenting itself is not always the root problem; how leaders can distinguish isolated operational issues from systemic friction; and how to reduce unnecessary drag without stripping away the healthy tension, challenge and governance that strong organisations need.

The conversation examines the relationship between strategy, decision-making, culture, systems, technology, governance and human capability. It is essential listening for CEOs, board directors and senior leaders seeking greater clarity, stronger alignment, better execution and shared ownership across their organisations.

About Rebecca Lythgo

Rebecca Lythgo is an enterprise performance executive who helps organisations perform better by identifying the constraints that others often overlook. With more than 20 years of leadership experience across Australia and Asia, she partners with CEOs, executive teams and boards to diagnose the underlying issues preventing strategy from translating into sustainable commercial results.

Rather than treating visible symptoms, Rebecca uncovers the organisational, commercial and operating model constraints that limit performance. She then works alongside leadership teams to realign strategy, decision-making, governance and execution, enabling organisations to perform as an integrated enterprise and achieve sustainable growth.

Her career spans financial services, private capital, and advisory, leading complex transformations across strategy, operations, technology, and commercial performance. Known for diagnosing before prescribing, Rebecca combines strategic thinking with executive accountability to deliver measurable commercial outcomes and build lasting organisational capability.

 

Rebecca also advises not-for-profit organisations and supports female founders, applying the same enterprise performance principles to help purpose-led organisations strengthen governance, build capability, and create greater long-term impact. Through her writing and speaking, she challenges conventional thinking about organisational performance, helping leaders understand why businesses stall and what it takes to reconnect ambition with execution.

BWA Podcast Show: Project Health Checks Preventing Tech Transformation Disasters

Technology transformation projects rarely fail overnight. 

More often, the warning signs appear quietly. Misaligned stakeholders, unclear governance, cultural blocks, unrealistic timelines, poor requirements, vendor disconnects, weak change management, hidden budget pressures, and growing delivery fatigue.

By the time many organisations recognise the scale of the problem, millions of dollars, organisational trust, and strategic momentum may already be at risk.

In this episode of the Business Women Australia Podcast Show, Vicki Abraham chats with Erin Clark to explore how organisations can identify transformation risks early, respond before problems escalate, and recover when projects are already drifting off course.

Drawing on experience across complex and asset-intensive environments, Erin shares why independent reviews and structured discovery are no longer “nice-to-have” governance activities. Hear how essential these safeguards are for organisations navigating high-risk transformation programs.

Together, Vicki and Erin unpack:

  • why projects drift off course long before leaders realise
  • the hidden pressures impacting transformation deliverywhy many organisations underestimate the importance of discovery
  • the difference between compliance-style audits and meaningful health checks
  • how independent advisory can reduce risk and improve outcomes
  • why transparency, alignment, and early intervention matter more than ever

Tune in, listen, and learn:

  • Why transformation projects fail quietly before they fail publicly
  • The role of independent project health checks
  • Governance, visibility, and accountability gaps
  • Why discovery is more powerful before delivery
  • Early warning signs leaders often miss
  • Vendor and client alignment challenges
  • Project rescue versus prevention
  • Risk management and investment protection
  • Human dynamics and cultures that support transformation success

This episode is designed for:

  • CEOs and executive leaders
  • CFOs and operational executives
  • CIOs and digital transformation leaders
  • project sponsors and PMO leaders
  • boards and governance committees
  • procurement and risk professionals
  • organisations planning or currently undertaking major technology change

This conversation is particularly relevant for organisations operating in:

  • mining and energy
  • infrastructure and utilities
  • government and education
  • health and aged care
  • property and construction
  • operationally complex and asset-intensive sectors

Tune into this important episode and hear the opportunities of embracing a new way of working with specialist transformation teams who don’t just deliver you a consulting report and big fee, leaving you to work out how to implement the project. https://www.youtube.com/live/DhwldkWgIF4?si=wzt2P1posYokMRYB

TEC Consulting helps organisations identify risks, blind spots, and execution gaps before transformation programs become costly failures. Independent audits, discovery processes, and project health assessments conducted by TEC help organisations strengthen governance, improve delivery alignment, and build more sustainable foundations for successful technology transformation.

“Most tech projects don’t suddenly fail – the warning signs are usually there long before anyone is willing to say it out loud.” – Erin Clark

BWA Podcast Show: The Case for Investement in Tech Transformation

Organisations know they need to change, but deciding what to invest in and how to make that change stick is becoming increasingly difficult. Faced with competing priorities, limited budgets and pressure to deliver results, leaders are being asked to make high-stakes decisions with greater uncertainty than ever before.

In this episode of the Business Women Australia Podcast Show, Lyn Hawkins speaks with Erin Clark, Managing Director of TEC Consulting, about why organisations need a new approach to transformation; one that moves beyond traditional consulting models and focuses on trusted integrated specialists, change co-design, implementation realism, and long-term sustainability. From aging systems and operational inefficiencies to digital disruption, compliance pressures, and workforce challenges, leaders are being asked to make increasingly high-stakes investment decisions in environments where failure can be costly both financially and culturally. Together, Lyn and Erin explore:
  • why many business cases fail to secure investment despite solving real problems
  • why transformation projects fail before they even begin
  • the hidden cost of treating strategy, procurement and delivery as separate activities
  • the growing execution gap between strategy and delivery from client and vendor perspectives
  • what boards and executives should see before approving major investments how relational ecosystems and collaborative problem-solving are reshaping tech transformation deliverables
  • why the future belongs to advisors and specialists with a partnership approach to bridge people, systems, vendors, and operational realities
Drawing on experience across asset-intensive and complex organisations, Erin shares why TEC Consulting is challenging conventional consulting approaches, helping organisations navigate transformation with greater transparency, alignment, and practical implementation insight. This conversation is particularly relevant for leaders across:
  • infrastructure
  • mining and energy
  • health and community services
  • government and education
  • property and construction
  • operationally complex organisations managing major systems, assets, and change programs
This episode is designed for:
  • C-suite leaders
  • CFOs and operational executives
  • transformation sponsors
  • program directors and PMO leaders
  • procurement and governance professionals
  • boards and advisory leaders
  • organisations planning or recovering from major transformation initiatives
Erin Clark founded TEC Consulting to lead a new wave of advisory and practical implementation support, helping organisations move beyond rigid consulting models toward more connected, implementation-focused and human-centred transformation approaches. Be inspired by an alternative to operating as detached strategists as TEC positions itself within the ecosystem that connects vendors, delivery teams, executives, and operational stakeholders to improve alignment, reduce waste, and support sustainable transformation outcomes.

BWA Podcast Show: From ROI to ROS: Why the Best Leaders Are Redefining Success Through Return on Self

What if the way we’ve been measuring success is fundamentally incomplete?

In corporate environments, we are trained from day one to focus on ROI, return on investment. It’s the metric that drives decisions, performance, and outcomes. We measure everything: revenue, growth, EBITDA, net profits, efficiency, productivity.

However, here’s the question we rarely ask:

Why do we find it so easy to measure ROI, yet so difficult to measure the one asset driving it all: ourselves?

In this powerful episode of the Business Women Australia Podcast Show hosted by Karina Seng, Roni Millard draws on over three decades of executive leadership and strategic marketing experience to challenge traditional definitions of performance and productivity.

From leading high-performing teams to navigating burnout and a life-changing cancer diagnosis, Roni shares the deeper story behind success and the hidden cost of operating in systems that prioritise output over the individual driving it.

This episode introduces Roni’s transformative concept developed as she began her healing journey after her breast cancer diagnosis:

Return on Self (ROS) – a concept which encourages an updated leadership lens that places wellbeing, energy, and inner alignment at the centre of sustainable performance.

The truth is simple and stark:

If you are not investing in yourself, your ROS will eventually suffer.

In this podcast, you’ll gain insight into:

  1. The hidden costs of high-performance cultures
  2. Why burnout is not just an individual issue, but a leadership and systems challenge
  3. How psychological safety underpins true performance
  4. Why and how we should be measuring return on self (ROS) so that the corporate ROIs will soar
  5. Practical ways to improve your own Return on Self and lead with clarity, energy and purpose

This is a conversation for leaders who want to succeed without sacrificing themselves in the process. It is for those who understand that performance is not just about what you produce but the condition you are in when you produce it.
