• 372 Mikey Ellis: Modern Culture's Complexities

  My guest this week is Mikey Ellis – a leadership coach, storyteller, and advocate for human-centred workplaces. With a background in teaching and coaching, Mikey brings a deep understanding of what drives human behaviour and connection—whether in the classroom or the boardroom. Mikey believes that while workplace culture is nuanced, human needs remain the same across generations. In this conversation, he shares insights on the challenges of modern leadership, the parallels between guiding 12-year-olds and leading teams, and how fostering trust and connection can transform workplace culture. In this episode, we explore the evolving nature of workplace culture, why leadership today requires a deeper understanding of human needs, and how we can build workplaces where people truly thrive.
