"content": "<p>Apprenticeships aren\u2019t just about training... they\u2019re about opportunity, potential and transformation.<\/p><p>At just 23 years old, Kaylee Mcisaac has already faced more than most - and achieved more than many. A Plant Maintenance Electrical Engineering Apprentice at BAE Systems and winner of nine awards (including BAE Systems Apprentice of the Year), Kaylee\u2019s story is one of resilience, responsibility, and remarkable drive.<\/p><p>In this bonus episode of The Culture Colonel, Lindsay MacDuff sits down with Kaylee, alongside Rear Admiral (Ret\u2019d) Jon Pentreath and BAE Systems\u2019 Director of Education and Skills, Richard Hamer, for an honest and inspiring conversation about the power of investing in people.<\/p><p>Together, they explore what it really takes to build a more inclusive, future-ready defence and security sector, from the ground up. This episode delves into the evolving needs of defence in a digital age, the role of partnerships between industry and government, and the unseen, human infrastructure behind national resilience.<\/p><p>But at its heart, this is Kaylee\u2019s story: a story of leadership, loss, mentorship, and ambition. A story that proves when talent meets opportunity, anything is possible.<\/p><p>This isn\u2019t just a story about apprenticeships. It\u2019s about equity, leadership - and why the future depends on both.<\/p>",

"content": "<p>The Naval Servicewomen\u2019s Network is more than a support group - it\u2019s a catalyst for culture change.<\/p><p>In this episode, Lindsay MacDuff, The Culture Colonel, speaks with Lieutenant Commander Fran Crowsley-Allen and Warrant Officer Kim Wyche, co-chairs of the Naval Servicewomen\u2019s Network (NSN). Together, they offer a powerful and personal account of the work being done to shift the lived experience of women across the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, and Royal Fleet Auxiliary.<\/p><p>They discuss the origins of the NSN, now more than a decade old, and its evolution from grassroots advocacy to an officially endorsed mechanism influencing defence policy and leadership behaviours. Through candid reflections on allyship, imposter syndrome, and the weight of responsibility, Fran and Kim shine a light on the human side of organisational change.<\/p><p>This is a conversation about visibility, equity, and the long game of changing culture. It\u2019s also about the power of showing up, especially when you\u2019re not sure you belong - and using that uncertainty as fuel to lead.<\/p><p>Voluntary, rigorous, and deeply personal, the work of the NSN is helping to build a Naval Service that works for everyone.<\/p><p>And good news! We\u2019ll be back soon with Series 3 of The Culture Colonel! In the meantime, there <em>might<\/em> be a bonus episode landing in your feed - so keep your eyes peeled.<\/p>",

"title": "Badly Behaved People, Brilliant Leadership - with Zena Everett",
"content": "<p>Your team doesn\u2019t need a superhero. It needs someone who listens.<\/p><p>In this refreshingly honest and insightful episode, Lindsay MacDuff, the Culture Colonel, is joined by organisational psychologist and bestselling author Zena Everett, whose book '<em>Badly Behaved People: How to Deal with Idiots at Work'<\/em> is equal parts hilarious and scathing -because sometimes the idiot in the workplace\u2026 is us.<\/p><p>Together, they explore what really drives dysfunction in teams, from silence and assumption - to poor leadership and power hoarding. Zena shares powerful reflections on how psychological safety gets eroded, why imposter syndrome is more common than we think, and how to step back and get curious before reacting.<\/p><p>This is not your typical chat about workplace culture. It\u2019s a call to slow down, reflect, and take responsibility for how we show up. Whether you\u2019re leading a team or just trying to survive one, this episode is a smart, bold reminder that culture isn\u2019t a vibe... it\u2019s a choice.<\/p>",

"content": "<p>Tabitha Smith-Lawrence, Defence Psychologist & Endometriosis Champion, shares how she redefined success on her own terms; choosing purpose, authenticity, and well-being over performance-driven burnout. In a bold act of self-reflection, she stepped away from the expectations placed upon her and into a version of leadership rooted in honesty and humanity.<\/p><p>In this episode of The Culture Colonel, Tabitha also opens up about living with endometriosis, an often misunderstood and under-diagnosed condition that affects 1 in 10 women. She describes the emotional toll of delayed diagnosis, the difficulty of managing an invisible illness in a high-pressure environment, and the stigma that still surrounds women\u2019s health in the workplace.<\/p><p>This conversation is both practical and powerful. Tabitha offers clear guidance for line managers, teams, and leaders on how to better support colleagues navigating chronic health conditions. She challenges us to reconsider how we define strength - and advocates for a workplace culture where listening, flexibility, and compassion are considered core leadership qualities.<\/p>",
