When crisis hits, your business doesn’t need hierarchy - it needs clarity.

In this episode of Busting Roadblocks, I sit down with Dave, a former rescue helicopter paramedic with 25 years of high-stakes experience, now a crisis management consultant.

We unpack a real-world example where the person with the title wasn’t the right person for the job - and how ego, emotion, and poor self-awareness nearly derailed the crisis response.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why BAU leadership structures can fail under pressure
✅ What to do when rank and capability don’t align
✅ How to manage ego clashes in the middle of a crisis
✅ And when it’s time for a “suck it up, this is the call” response

This episode is a must-listen for leaders, comms pros, and anyone involved in crisis response or culture change. Because in the heat of the moment, it's not about your job title - it's about getting the job done.

In this episode of Busting Roadblocks, Kerry opens up about the layers of self-discovery, the hard-won insights into how she thinks and leads, and how understanding neurodiversity has changed everything—from how she sees herself to how she supports others.

We talk about:

• The impact of masking in early leadership roles
• How coaching helped—but also shaped her to “fit the mould”
• The real challenges and hidden strengths of ADHD
• Why self-awareness is the turning point for growth
• And how leaders can create workplaces where neurodiverse individuals don’t just survive—but thrive

This isn’t a neat story. It’s honest, colourful, and full of depth—just like real life.

What does it take to overhaul a 15-year-old system in a high-stakes healthcare environment - without losing the people in it?

In this episode of Busting Roadblocks, we sit down with Leanne Simpson, a General Manager who led a major operational transformation in the patient transport sector. From paramedics and pilots to hospitals, government procurement, and funding bodies, Leanne was working at the center of one of the most complex and tightly regulated systems in healthcare.

Together, we explore:

✅ The challenge of changing entrenched mindsets: “It’s not perfect, but we’ve always done it this way.”
✅ Why innovation in high-risk environments is difficult - and how to keep momentum
✅ The critical role of cross-functional communication from CEO to frontline clinicians
✅ How building trust was the secret to lasting change
✅ What it takes to design a system that improves outcomes without leaving anyone behind

This is a masterclass in considered leadership, stakeholder engagement, and leading change when the stakes are high and resistance is even higher.

🎧 Tune in to hear how Leanne busted through roadblocks - and what you can take into your own transformation projects.
