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.

63. Allyship Is a Skill, Not an Identity with Lee Chambers
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if allyship wasn't about good intentions, but about building practical skills that create real change?
What does meaningful allyship look like in today's workplaces? In this episode, I sit down with Lee Chambers, founder and CEO of Male Allies UK, to talk about how we move beyond performative diversity initiatives and create genuine shared accountability. We discuss why allyship is a skill that can be learned, why men have a critical role in advancing gender equity, and how curiosity can help us bridge division.
We also look at the challenges facing the next generation, the impact of AI and online influence on boys and young men, and why human skills will become even more valuable in an increasingly technological world. Lee shares practical insights for leaders who want to build more inclusive, courageous and human-centred workplaces.
I'd love to know your thoughts. How are you building allyship in your workplace, and what's one conversation you think leaders need to have more often? Connect with me on LinkedIn and let's continue the discussion.
