The Third Conversation

The conversations that change us rarely happen first.

Some of life's biggest questions don't have simple answers.

The Third Conversation brings together people from different backgrounds to explore the conversations we're often too busy—or too uncomfortable—to have.

Identity.

Belonging.

Leadership.

Grief.

Purpose.

Community.

Work.

Hope.

The podcast isn't about finding the "right" answer.

It's about creating space for curiosity, connection and understanding.

Because better conversations create better relationships, stronger organisations and healthier communities.

Why?

For years, my work has centred around helping people and organisations ask better questions.

Whether through coaching, consultancy, education or community projects, I've seen first-hand that the most meaningful change often begins with a conversation. The conversations I have through the podcast directly inform my consultancy and coaching work, bringing fresh perspectives, lived experience and diverse voices into every project.

The Third Conversation was created to make more space for those conversations.

What is it?

Not interviews.

Not debates.

Just thoughtful conversations.

Each episode brings together a few Conversation Contributors around one table to explore a single question.

Coffee encouraged.

Season One.

The conversation doesn't end when the episode does.
Each episode is accompanied by a curated collection of resources to help you explore the question further.
READ · WATCH · LISTEN · REFLECT · FIND SUPPORT
Discover books, articles, podcasts, talks and other resources connected to each conversation, alongside reflection prompts and, where relevant, trusted organisations offering further information or support.
These aren't intended to provide all the answers. They're simply somewhere to go next.
