A Leadership & Wellbeing Podcast
Leadership, off the clock.
Honest conversations about leading well and living well — the lessons that don't fit on an agenda, recorded after the meeting is over.
The show
The work that shapes a leader rarely happens nine to five.
Off The Clock is a leadership and wellbeing podcast about the part of leading that happens when the meeting ends — the pressure you carry home, the decisions you replay at night, and the habits that keep you whole.
Every conversation sits at the same table: what it really takes to lead people, build something that lasts, and stay well while you do it. No scripts, no polished keynote answers. Just the lessons people usually only share off the record.
