What if finding your voice was the first step to transforming not just your career, but the culture around you?

In this episode, I’m joined by Rabia Mirza, entrepreneur, coach, and HR consultant who helps leaders and organisations build cultures rooted in authenticity, trust, and purpose. Drawing from her journey in entrepreneurship and leadership, Rabia shares her insights on the power of having your own voice, the challenges of employee turnover, and the importance of honest conversations in creating thriving workplaces.

We explore how generational shifts are redefining leadership expectations, why coaching belongs at every level of an organisation, and how authentic business practices lead to stronger relationships and long-term impact. Rabia also reflects on what it means to leave a legacy, one built on empathy, integrity, and the courage to speak up.
