My Podcast

It's time for...

The Beyond The Water Cooler Podcast.

Turning Conversations into Action: Work Culture & Employee Experience

I publish fortnightly episodes in term time to allow me to balance the world of family alongside work with my clients, podcasting and creating super useful resources.

These tools will be all about making your life easier, whether you’re leading an organisation, managing a team, or someone trying to take greater control of your experience at work. They are available for you to download from my resources page. Have a browse… I’m convinced there will be something there that will be helpful. And if not, drop me a line to request a resource to support you.

I will be adding new resources regularly for you to download so Join the club to automatically receive these resources in your inbox.

In the meantime, enjoy the podcast where I will be covering a whole range of topics that impact on employee experience, engagement and mental wellbeing.

And many of you will know I hate tick boxes so we’ll be kicking those out, getting beneath the surface of shiny new initiatives, stripping back layers of complexity, and going back to the fundamentals of good business – people.

I’m all about putting the human factor back into business by helping organisations become places where people are happy, well, and able to perform at their best. My mantra is simple: get people right, get business right.

Kind Words...

Lisa’s podcast is a refreshingly honest & intellectual show. It is brave enough to discuss tricky subjects, make sense of them and share best practices with industry experts to accelerate an individual or a corporate’s performance, in a natural, relaxed and entertaining way.

Beyond the Water Cooler is a great mix of conversations that will allow the listener to immerse in the topic, in a wholesome, clear and relatable manner, and always leave you wanting to hear more from the guest about the topic.

Lisa is clearly an accomplished professional and is very in tune with her guests. There is genuine curiosity in her questions and she puts people at ease immediately. Her topics take a very holistic approach to workplace culture which is both refreshing and inspiring, as there is always a takeout that can be applied to your own organisation.

Such a great podcast and this episode (with Nick Jemetta) is excellent. Nick is very inspiring and articulates the difference between having anxiety and being anxious. Which was very helpful.

Was awesome to take a moment to just stop and philoso-phate for a while. These ideas are so important for us to wrestle with. The human person is too valuable for us not to! I really enjoyed our chat Lisa LLoyd 😊

I love Lisa. She's ace. Somehow she manages to really get into the subjects by leading the discussion in and around topics and teasing out the intricacies. The whole time with a great big beaming smile and the effortlessly created safe space that seems to be her shadow.
