Workplace Bullying Survivors - Public Humiliation & Toxic Leadership

I went out for brunch today. I left with a masterclass in toxic leadership. Beautiful venue. Strong reputation. Instagram - worthy branding. And an absolutely shocking reality behind the scenes. Today, I witnessed a manager publicly humiliating and intimidating a female employee in front of customers. A customer complained about a delayed order. Instead of handling the situation professionally, the manager started blaming the employee, sharing personal allegations about her behaviour and even claiming he had deliberately delayed an order to punish her. He then confronted her in the middle of the restaurant, in front of everyone. The irony? She was the ONLY employee who genuinely seemed to care about the customers and made an effort to communicate with us. As someone who has seen the world, with an MBA from Les Roches, and 3 degrees in total, with international expereince across luxury hospitality, commercial and technology environments, I find this behavious unacceptable. And as someone who has personally experienced workplace mobbing (not once), pychological and emotional abuse, this hit particularly close to home. Let's get something straight: → Feedback belongs behind closed doors, NOT in front of 30 customers. → Customer service recovery requires professionalism, NOT public humiliation. → Leadership is about accountability, NOT intimidation. → Employee experience IS customer experience. You can invest millions in branding, marketing and beautiful interiors. But how you treat your employees reveals the REAL culture behind your business. Today reinforced a long-term ambition of mine: combining international business, coaching, somatic approaches and advocacy to eventually build something bigger than myself: an educational and healing platform, a media company talking about the TRUTH. Potentially an institute dedicated to protecting human dignity and addressing workplace abuse, particularly against women. Because nobody should have to sacrifice their mental health, dignity or livelihood just to earn a living. And now I want to hear from YOU. Have you ever experienced workplace mobbing, public humiliation, psychological abuse or intimidation by someone in a position of power? Did anyone protect you? Or were you left to fight for yourself? I'm looking to connect with people willing to share their experiences and participate in interviews as I explore how to turn awareness into meaningful change. My inbox is open. Your story matters. And to every leader reading this: Your job is to lead people. Not to break them. #ToxicLeadership #WorkplaceBullying #HospitalityLeadership #EmployeeExperience #WomenAtWork #Leadership

Retail Executives NRF NYC - Retail Media Supply Chain & AI

The conversations have shifted from “NRF is in January” to “NRF is just around the corner”. And I’m already excited. As one of the NRF Retail Voices for 2027, I’ve been getting a behind-the-scenes peek at what’s planned. As usual, the programme is packed, exciting and informative, with conversations that matter for the year ahead. I’m already getting organised. When I first started travelling from Dublin to New York for NRF, people would ask whether a US retail show was worth the trip. What becomes clear when you’re there is just how global it is. People travel from all over the world to see the latest innovations, share perspectives and understand what’s shaping retail across markets. For me, that global perspective makes it an investment at the start of the retail year that I never regret. NRF sets the stage for the year ahead. It’s where I take the pulse of the industry: what retailers are prioritising, where investment is going and how new ideas are translating into practice. And as the global retail community becomes more connected, understanding what’s happening beyond our own markets matters more than ever. Three additions from National Retail Federation and Rethink Retail to put in the diary that are all taking place at Lavan in New York: 📍 Commerce Media Saturday Exploring how retail media is evolving across stores and online, and expanding into sectors such as financial services, travel and hospitality - https://lnkd.in/e7SJAe2t 📍 Supply Chain Sunday From inventory and availability to last-mile delivery and returns. So much of the shopper experience depends on what happens behind the scenes - https://lnkd.in/eJhsknGA 📍 AI Monday - AiR Summit & Soirée An opportunity to explore how AI is being applied across retail and what that means for the industry - https://lnkd.in/eMPXeNiZ Together, these touch on so much of what I’m interested in: how we help shoppers discover and choose, how we deliver on the promise, and how technology can support better outcomes. Then there are the people. Catching up with familiar faces within the community, making new connections and having those unplanned conversations that stay with you long after you get home. I'm also on the look out with Renee Hartmann for new retail stories to bring to the What's In Store - Making Sense of Modern Retail content series in 2027. If you’re heading to NRF, drop me a line. I’d love to hear what you’re looking forward to and hopefully find time to catch up in New York. #NRF2027 #NRFRetailVoices #Retail #RetailMedia #WhatsInStore

Science Communicators - Environment Health Technology Projects

This time last month, I started a new adventure by becoming a student again and embarking on an MSc in Science Media Production at Imperial College London 👩🔬🧬📺🧪 Crazily it's now been 10 years since I began my undergraduate degree in Diagnostic Radiography at University of Portsmouth 😨 The last decade has been anything but straightforward. It's included qualifying and beginning my career as a radiographer at a major trauma centre during the COVID-19 pandemic (Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust), as well as periods of ill health & new diagnoses for myself. Eventually I medically imaged patients across four wonderful London hospitals, including Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust and Cleveland Clinic London 🩻😷 Along the way, I also explored careers outside of radiography, from a marketing internship at ABTA via the Leonard Cheshire Change 100 programme, to leading volunteers with Oxfam at festivals and in Greenpeace environmental campaigns. Most recently I've been working on engagement and events at Islington Council as part of Evidence Islington, which is funded by NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research) and focused on improving outcomes related to wider determinants of health. I’ve sometimes worried my career path looks unusual, but I have so many passions and every role has taught me new skills, adapted me to different work environments and allowed me to meet many types of amazing people. In the 1st month of this course, I've done such varied things, from writing an essay about science philosophy to producing a science radio show, so I'm excited to see where the rest of the year and beyond leads. Alongside the MSc, I've also started two new roles: 📰 Deputy News Editor for I, Science Magazine 🤝 Outreach Coordinator for the Science Communication Society To colleagues and collaborators, past and present: thank you for the support ❤️ If you're working on an interesting science related project (particularly related to the environment, technology or health) and want to connect with science communicators, or would like to be featured in an article, radio/video interview, or event, I'd love to hear from you 😊 #ScienceCommunication #ScienceMedia #ImperialCollegeLondon #PublicHealth #Healthcare #Technology #Environment #Masters #PublicEngagement #NewAdventure

GCC Founders & Entrepreneurs - AI Collaboration & Data Sovereignty

It was a pleasure working on this feature exploring Lenks.ai and how the company is rethinking virtual meetings through AI, Arabic-language intelligence, and data sovereignty across the GCC. Working on this piece gave me the opportunity to learn more about Ms. Rawan Almogbil and the vision behind building a Saudi-based platform designed to address the specific needs of organizations in the region. What particularly stood out to me was the focus on going beyond meeting transcription and summaries to turn conversations into actionable tasks, structured decisions, and more efficient workflows. I also found it interesting to explore how AI-powered collaboration tools can be designed around regional languages, dialects, and data governance requirements, highlighting the importance of developing technology that reflects the needs of the communities and businesses it serves. Thank you, Ms. Rawan Almogbil, for the opportunity to share Lenks.ai’s story and vision through this feature. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dD9PhQZj If you’re a founder, entrepreneur, or professional with a story to share, expertise to showcase, or work you’d like to bring greater visibility to, I’d love to hear from you. I’m currently looking to feature professionals through interview-based articles that highlight their journeys, expertise, achievements, and vision. Interested in being featured? Feel free to DM me with a brief introduction and a little about what you’d like to share. #ArtificialIntelligence #DigitalTransformation #SaudiArabia #GCC #EnterpriseTechnology #DataSovereignty #Innovation #ProfessionalStories #PersonalBranding

Scientists in Russian Far East - Research Priorities & Military Ties

Russia wants to attract more scientists. But what kind of research does it actually want them to do? In September 2026, Vladimir Putin proposed a special programme to attract Russian and foreign researchers to the Russian Far East. The government was asked to consider housing, relocation allowances, and support for scientists' families. At first glance, it sounds like an initiative to develop regional science. But there's another side to this story. Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the relationship between scientific research and the military-industrial complex has become an increasingly important question. Universities and research institutions are operating in a country where defense production is a major state priority, international scientific cooperation has been severely disrupted, and researchers face growing political pressures. The Russian Far East is particularly interesting in this context. The region is home to major defense manufacturers, while some local universities and research institutions already collaborate with military-industrial enterprises or work on technologies with both civilian and military applications. But does this mean the new initiative is intended to support military research? Not necessarily. And that's precisely what I'm trying to investigate. I'm currently working on an article for T-invariant, speaking with researchers and experts on Russian science policy and defense technology, examining existing university-industry partnerships, and trying to understand how scientific priorities have changed since 2022. What interests me most is not simply whether scientists will move to the Far East, but what kind of research environment awaits them. Who will determine their research priorities? How much independence will they have? And what happens to fundamental science when technological development becomes increasingly tied to state and military interests? I think these questions deserve far more attention than the promises of housing and financial incentives. More to come once the article is published. #SciencePolicy #AcademicFreedom #ScienceJournalism #Russia

Ex-Corporate Privacy Lead - Built Privacy & AI Consultancy

EXACTLY 12 MONTHS AGO, I WALKED OUT OF CORPORATE FOR THE LAST TIME. LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED NEXT. BACK FROM MALTA! 🇲🇹 Staring out at the waves on a Maltese beach this past week gave me something I rarely allow myself enough time for… Perspective. This time last year, I was finishing my final day as a corporate employee after almost a decade in the industry. Today? Here's what that leap has led to. 👇 BUILT a Privacy & AI Governance consultancy, secured some fantastic initial clients and developed a pipeline of opportunities I could only have dreamed about. ANNOUNCED a new course designed to help Data Protection Officers transform their careers and become more confident in their roles. LAUNCHED #LetsTalkPrivacy podcast now globally charting, with listeners in 80+ countries and Episode 48 dropping tomorrow! 48 episodes in just 38 weeks. Audio, video, long-form, short-form. We're building something different. EXPLORED opportunities in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, established strategic collaborations and laid the groundwork for what could eventually become a new chapter for my family in the UAE. GROWN my personal brand through podcast appearances, a radio interview, collaborations with authors and entrepreneurs, speaking opportunities and networking across the country. INVESTED in myself through continued professional development in privacy, AI, business and property. And through all of this, I've continued striving to be the husband, father, son, brother and uncle I want to be. Just 10 months after setting up my Ltd company AS Privacy & AI Solutions LTD | Trust-Technology-Transformation in December 2025. 9 months after launching the #letstalkprivacypodcast. Let that sink in. But here's the lesson I want to share. The secret sauce isn't having everything figured out. It's learning to make decisions. Even when you're uncertain. Even when you're not 100% committed. Even when the outcome isn't guaranteed. I've been building my decision-making muscles. Because decisions determine direction, Direction determines strategy and strategy determines how quickly you get where you want to go. The right decision can save you years. The wrong one can cost you them. I'm now building towards 2027 with ambitious plans: Strategic brand sponsorships for the podcast. High-calibre consultancy clients aligned with my values Growth into international markets. More meaningful conversations with incredible people. If you're a brand looking to reach a global privacy, AI and digital trust audience… let's talk. If your organisation needs practical Privacy & AI Governance support… my DMs are open. And if you're an expert with a story, a perspective or a lesson worth sharing on Let’s Talk Privacy… I'd love to hear from you. The next chapter is going to be BIG. But I want to leave you with something my mum told me before I made the decision to leave corporate. Something I've carried with me ever since: ❤️ "You live once, it's not a dress rehearsal. Take the shot."

Flight Simulation Developers - Podcast Guests Beyond Flight Deck

🎙️ From a hobby to a podcast — introducing Beyond the Flight Deck! ✈️ Flight simulation has been a passion of mine for over 20 years. What started as an interest in flying virtual aircraft has grown into something much bigger. Along the way, I've met some incredible people, learned about aviation, explored new technologies and become part of a fantastic community. Now, alongside my good friend and fellow flight simulation enthusiast Neil (Aspieneil), we've decided to take that passion a step further. We've launched Beyond the Flight Deck, a podcast exploring the people, the passion, and the technology behind flight simulation. But this isn't just a podcast about flying virtual aircraft. We want to speak to the developers creating innovative software, the content creators bringing communities together, the people running virtual airlines, and those whose passion for aviation has led them down unexpected paths. It's about the stories, challenges, ideas and people behind the screens. 🎧 Our first episode, "Taking Off Together", is available now! We're only just getting started, and we've already got some exciting conversations lined up. If you're involved in aviation, technology, software development, content creation or flight simulation, we'd love you to come along for the journey. 🔗 Listen, watch and follow: 🌐 Website: https://lnkd.in/eBmkbF64 🎧 Spotify: https://lnkd.in/eVmNPPQj ▶️ YouTube: https://lnkd.in/eJCWVHRV 📱 TikTok: https://lnkd.in/ebZS44Ba 📸 Instagram: https://lnkd.in/e26zEpUX And if you have an interesting story to tell, or know somebody who would make a great guest, please get in touch! 📧 [email redacted] Beyond the Flight Deck — The people, the passion, and the technology behind flight simulation. #BeyondTheFlightDeck #FlightSimulation #Aviation #Podcast #MicrosoftFlightSimulator #Technology #Community

Employers Who Trialed Period Leave & Lactation Spaces - Results

Don't get me wrong, I like a little cake during work hours. Or free lunch. I would not say no. However, I would also like to know where a new mother is supposed to pump at work when the only available room is a toilet. We spend a lot of time telling women to grow, lead and believe in themselves. Whole conferences on them. And that's all good and all... But what are we doing about the conditions they have to live and work in? I want to hear from the employer who asked women what they needed, tried a new policy and can tell us what happened. Period leave, mental health days, a properly equipped space for breastfeeding mothers. How did you get it approved? Did people use it? What would you change? Or how about supporting women's mental and physical health without giving them a discount for..diet candy. Or is that so 2020? What's the latest trend these days? I also want to hear about the questions women are still struggling to get straight answers to. What does the science say about health and nutrition during menstruation or perimenopause? What do you do when an interviewer assumes motherhood makes you less committed? Is there technology that genuinely helps you focus, stay organised, or educate you about your body without selling your data? And sometimes the question comes before any of that: how do you plan a career when you are worried about getting home to a decent meal? We’re working on something connected to the #WomenBuildingCyprus project (can't reveal any details yet). I don’t want to fill a stage with answers to questions nobody asked or care for. So tell me: what question do you keep searching for an answer to? Or have you built something, changed a workplace practice or found an approach that other women should know about? Comments and messages are both welcome. I would love to hear the specifics, including what didn’t work.

School Leaders & NGO Staff - AI Adoption Challenges Across Sectors

Everyone is talking about AI in schools. But who’s listening to school leaders? This question had been on my mind, and I am thankful to Anthropic x Global School Leaders for inviting me to their event in New York, focused on school leaders in conversations about AI and education. My policy training has taught me to be cautious about assuming that an intervention that works in one place will work just as well in another. In research, this connects to questions of external validity and policy transfer.Evidence matters, but so does context. I saw a version of this challenge in an intervention I developed, focused on school administration in Tanzania. The question was not simply if administrators could be given educational materials or training. It was whether those resources would be enough to address their needs, or whether an effective intervention would also require time, ongoing support, and a better understanding of the challenges faced in their day-to-day work. I think the same principle applies to AI in education! Having been in school when the modern AI boom happened, I know that a tool may be technically impressive, but school leaders still need to evaluate its relevance, safety, privacy implications, and educational value. Teachers need time and support to incorporate it into their work. And schools need the infrastructure and resources to use it effectively. These needs will look different across contexts, which is precisely why local input and evidence should shape implementation from the beginning. This question extends beyond education.... Which is why I’ve been interviewing NGOs about how they currently use AI. I’m working on an article bringing these perspectives together, with a focus on the realities of AI adoption in organizations working on social impact. Follow along for updates.If you work with schools, NGOs, foundations, or technology organizations, I’d love to hear what you’re seeing. 📍Anthropic office, NY with Asha Dhakad #aispecialist #educationpolicy #aigovernance #globaldevelopment #effectivealturism

Restaurant CEOs & Founders - Failed Launches & Lessons

𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗙*𝗰𝗸 𝗨𝗽 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀. 𝗡𝗼𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺. One of the most consistent pieces of feedback we receive from conference participants is this: "𝘞𝘦'𝘥 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨." Not just the success stories, but: The failed launches. The wrong strategic bets. The expansion plans that didn't deliver. The technology projects that didn't live up to expectations. The same message came through again in this year's Summit feedback and Q&A sessions. That's why, for EFSS 2027, I'm searching for the restaurant industry's most valuable failures: concepts that flopped, expansions that disappointed, technology projects that derailed, strategies that backfired, and decisions that taught unforgettable lessons. And I am looking for foodservice leaders willing to share them. Not because failure is interesting. But because the learning is invaluable. 𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴?

Tech & HR Leaders - AI At Work Impact On Jobs & Hiring

Pitch Me Workplace Stories and Experts for a Fast Company Work Life Feature. I'm a finance and technology journalist. My work runs in Investopedia, TheStreet, Forbes, Inc., Benzinga, and FinanceFeeds. I'm building pitches for Fast Company's Work Life section, and I'm looking for experts, leaders and real people to build them around. Please read all of this before you pitch. Work Life covers how people actually work. The lanes I'm sourcing for right now: ➡️ AI at work: what it is really changing about jobs, teams and hiring. ➡️ Leadership and management. ➡️ Careers, career changes and getting ahead. ➡️ Productivity and how work actually gets done. ➡️ Workplace culture: hybrid and return to office, multigenerational teams, burnout. ➡️ Money at work: pay, raises, benefits and pay transparency. That list is a guide, not a fence. If you have a strong workplace story outside it, send it anyways. Bring me the idea. Tell me the story in two or three sentences and why a reader should care about it this month. What I'd need: ➡️ For experts: the credential and the research behind it. Original data, or a survey with its sample size and method. Workplace expert is not a credential. ➡️ For leaders: name, title and company, plus one specific thing you do differently and the measurable result. ➡️ For individuals: named and on the record, with real details. ➡️ About 30 minutes on a recorded Zoom call. What doesn't work: general thought leadership, five tips with nothing behind them, a product launch dressed up as a trend, and survey data with no methodology. I'm also not placing bylined guest posts. I'm reporting stories . If that's you, or you're a PR pro with clients who fit, email me at ➡️ [email redacted] No DM pitches here on LinkedIn. Email me. Two things on expectations. I pitch the editor once my sources are confirmed, so everything runs subject to editor approval, and that takes weeks, not days. And I won't reply to every pitch. If you don't hear back, it wasn't a fit this time.

Aesthetics Clinic Owners - Behind-the-Scenes Business Interviews

I’ve realised something about myself recently: I’m incredibly curious about the people behind businesses. Not just what they sell. I want to know how they started. What’s working. What isn’t. What they’re seeing in the market. And what they believe is coming next. As a nurse building in medical aesthetics while also exploring technology and entrepreneurship, I’ve found myself having more and more conversations with people across the aesthetics and beauty industry. Clinic owners. Practitioners. Educators. Founders. Brands. And I’ve started recording some of them. At the Beauty Professional event, I had the opportunity to speak with people behind brands including 4T Medical LTD , @Smart Group and Circadia but these conversations actually started before the exhibition. I already have interviews sitting in my camera roll with aesthetics clinic owners and other people building interesting businesses in this space. And I keep thinking: There’s so much we can learn from the people actually building the beauty and aesthetics industry. Not just about treatments and products but about business, innovation, technology, growth, mistakes and where the industry is heading. So I’m going to start bringing more of those conversations here. I want to speak with the people behind the brands. Walk into their clinics. See how their businesses operate. Ask the questions we don’t usually get to ask. And hopefully, eventually, spend a day inside some of these businesses and show you what building them really looks like. This is a little different from what I’ve shared here before. But perhaps that’s the point. I’m building a portfolio career across healthcare, technology, aesthetics, entrepreneurship and media and I want this page to reflect the conversations I’m genuinely curious about. Here are a few of the people I’ve had the opportunity to speak with so far. ↓ More conversations coming. And if you’re building something interesting in beauty, medical aesthetics or health innovation, I’d love to hear your story. #MedicalAesthetics #BeautyIndustry #HealthcareInnovation #Entrepreneurship #portfoliocareer
