Unprofessionalism
Professional performance is exhausting. Maintaining the mask. Editing ourselves. Pretending we know when we don't.
This podcast is about people who dropped the performance. And what happened next.
Each episode features someone who broke professional conventions and found something better on the other side: the executive who disclosed grief in a corporate setting and found it opened new ways of relating; the coach who realised her authority came from integrity, not compliance; the designer who ignored the 'approved tools' and saved thousands of hours.
Conversations circle around three questions:
- What does it cost us to perform professionalism instead of showing up as ourselves?
- How do we create spaces where people can bring their full attention and humanity to work?
- When is the “unprofessional” move actually the most responsible one?
If you feel the tension between who you are and who you're expected to be at work, this podcast shows you what happens when people stop managing that tension and just stop performing.
Hosted by Dr Myriam Hadnes—behavioural economist and founder of workshops.work. New episode every week.

328 - Healing the Boardroom: Insights from the Inner Child with Jason Perelson
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Leaders, who’s really running the business? Is it you, or is it your inner child in the boardroom chair, with all of your messy, unresolved childhood patterns, triggers, and attachment styles running the show?
Here to help us find the healed, playful inner child is Jason Perelso! He has spent the past quarter of a century helping brilliantly flawed humans to better understand themselves, destigmatize their triggers, step into vulnerability, and become emotionally mature, self-aware leaders.
Together we explore how to heal the boardroom, learn from our inner child, and make leadership decisions without them calling the shots!
Find out about:
- The role of unresolved childhood patterns and emotional regulation in leadership
- And why leaders so often make decisions from a place of childhood experience
- How to gain awareness of our triggers in order to destigmatize them
- The relationship between attachment theories and leadership styles
- How to become the healed, playful inner child with innovation at the heart
