Welcome to our latest 4-part mini-series exploring what it really means to set up the next generation for success in the workplace.

We look at the core foundations that help people thrive at work, from building confidence and emotional intelligence, to role-modelling healthy behaviours and setting clear boundaries. In this episode we discuss how today’s world of constant technology, hybrid working, and ever-present “little eyes and ears” at home has changed what it means to learn, lead and grow.

We explore:

• Why role-modelling values like integrity, respect and curiosity matters more than ever.
• How to create a safe space for learning and mistakes – without judgement.
• The impact of home-working on what the next generation sees (and hears!) about “work.”
• Practical actions we can all take to instil confidence, emotional literacy, and resilience in those around us.

A useful listen for anyone supporting early-career talent, mentoring younger colleagues, or simply reflecting on the responsibility we all have to pass on sustainable working skills.
