Welcome back to The Human Side of Business with host Ange MacCabe. In episode 2 of our 10-part Back to Basics series, we explore one of the most overlooked leadership superpowers: the shift from judgement to curiosity.

Ange is joined again by Maria Maycock, Intuity Consultant and human-centered leadership expert, to unpack how leaders can replace assumptions with inquiry — and why that small shift dramatically improves psychological safety, decision-making, and team performance.

In this episode:

• Why judgement shows up in leadership — and how to catch it
• The power of asking “What else could be true?”
• Curiosity as a tool for performance, innovation, and trust
• Practical tools like pre-mortems, SBI + Q feedback, and curiosity rituals
• How curiosity directly impacts retention, engagement, and collaboration

Backed by research from Harvard Business School, Google’s Project Aristotle, and Gallup, this episode gives you actionable ways to make curiosity a leadership habit.

Best for: Team leaders, founders, HR leaders, and anyone building human-centered teams.

Ever felt that tightness in your chest before a big decision, a tough conversation, or when a deadline looms? We all have. But here’s the truth:

📌 Leadership isn’t about reacting—it’s about choosing.

In this kickoff to our Back to Basics Series, we break down the core skill that separates leaders who spiral under pressure from those who lead with clarity and presence: the shift from reacting to responding.

In this episode, we unpack:
✅ How to recognize your emotional triggers before they hijack your leadership
✅ The science and practice of pausing under pressure
✅ Tools for responding with intention (even when your inbox is exploding)

Leadership lives in that space between stimulus and response. If you want to build trust, make better decisions, and lead with confidence in chaos, this conversation will give you a clear, practical starting point.

🎧 Hit play, slow down, and let this episode become your reminder:
The most impactful leaders don’t just do more—they choose better.
