Heart at Work with Trina Sunday
Heart at Work with Trina Sunday is a podcast for HR leaders and change-makers who believe there is a braver way to lead work and feel energised to step into it.
Hosted by human-first leadership strategist and creator of the HEART Work™ model, Trina Sunday draws on more than 25 years of experience across Australia, Asia, and global leadership communities to explore what it truly takes to build workplaces where people and performance thrive side by side.
This is not about policy updates or buzzwords. It is about the conversations that matter: influence, culture under pressure, leadership courage, and the behaviours that shape how work actually feels.
At the heart of it all is one relentless question: What are the real conditions for people to experience happiness at work?
Through honest reflections and global perspectives, Trina helps HR move from compliance to courageous influence, because there is no profit without a pulse.
If you are ready to lead with clarity, courage, and compassion, you are in the right place. Because HR has a new future. And it leads with heart.

42. The Future of Work Starts with Connection with Keith Ferrazzi
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if your team could build real trust and momentum without the old-school hierarchy?
In this episode, I’m joined by Keith Ferrazzi, renowned coach, author of Never Eat Alone and Never Lead Alone, and leading voice on connection and teamship. We talk about what it takes to build genuine human connections in fractured workplaces, why “serendipity bonding” doesn’t cut it anymore, and how AI is reshaping the way teams are formed.
We cover the power of co-elevation, leading without authority, and why cultural change is simpler than we make it. Keith also shares his personal story, from growing up poor to coaching Fortune 500 execs, and why relationships, not credentials, shaped his path.
If you’ve been feeling the disconnect or you’re tired of old HR playbooks, this episode will spark a rethink on how we build culture, team accountability, and trust in today’s hybrid world.
Do you feel your organisation's culture has stalled? What simple practices could you start today to change it? Let’s keep the conversation going. Connect with us on LinkedIn here.
