The Curious Leader: Exploring Stress, Equity, and Alcohol-Free Success with Seb Randle
40 minutes Posted Jul 16, 2025 at 12:15 am.
What happens when a career in advertising no longer feels like the right fit - and what if the thing you're really meant to be doing has been quietly waiting for you all along? In today's episode, I'm joined by the brilliant Seb. We chat about the leap from media into coaching, the realities facing middle managers, and why stress is piling up in modern workplaces. We also talk confidence, allyship, and Seb's own recent decision to step away from alcohol - not because he had to, but because he simply wondered what life might feel like without it. This one's full of honesty, insight, and a good few moments that'll make you reflect on your own path too. Highlights:
From redundancy to real purpose
What coaching really is (and isn't)
Reframing imposter syndrome and finding your value
Why middle managers are stretched to breaking point
Rethinking alcohol and connection at work
