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.

56. HR in a Volatile World: What Leaders Need to Understand About Risk, Power & Reality
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when the world feels unpredictable, and even showing up as yourself starts to feel risky?
I’ve just come out of a week inside the United Nations, and what stayed with me wasn’t just the conversations on gender equality. It was something more personal. A moment where I questioned how safe it really is to fully show up, even in environments we assume are stable.
In this episode, I talk about how global uncertainty is shaping psychological safety at work. Why geopolitics is no longer separate from the workplace, and what it means when people start editing themselves just to feel safe. This isn’t theory, this is already happening in our organisations.
You’ll walk away with a sharper lens on power, safety, and leadership. I share the questions every HR leader should be asking right now. Because if we’re not paying attention to context, we’re leading in a version of reality that no longer exists.
What does safety really look like in your organisation right now? Where might people be holding back more than you realise?
I’d love to hear your thoughts. Connect with me on LinkedIn and continue the conversation
