It’s true that the most important asset in any business is its people. And, so, you want to make sure that you get your people stuff right. One of the biggest people issues is a lack of alignment, according to Emma’s guest today, Julia O’Reilly, Director of People & Growth Consulting. She says there could be misalignment between two people or between managers and staff. Whatever it is, she says, you need to sort out those differences so that your business can thrive. It’s more important than ever, because the world is changing more than ever.

Turia Pitt has been through the most extraordinary life-changing experience. In 2011, she was in the rugged Kimberley ranges of north-west WA competing in a 100km ultramarathon, when suddenly she was confronted with a bushfire. She had nowhere to go as the flames caught up with her. She suffered burns to 65 percent of her body. Turia spent six months in hospital, had 200 operations and two years in recovery. Her extraordinary resilience has been an inspiration to everyone around the world. She’s written several books – her latest is called Happy, where she seeks answers on the question: Is it possible to be happier? She chats with Emma McQueen about her life since the fire, and how she continues to test her limits. She’s a firm believer in the adage that we learn a lot about ourselves when we challenge ourselves.
