Every leader, every board member, CEO, founder, executive has f**ked up. Badly. Repeatedly. Publicly. Quietly. Expensively.

In this episode Jac & Ral share their own right royal f**k ups and what happened next…

Ral also tells us about some very well known, senior leaders and their mistakes – most worked out well and ALL learned so much about themselves and their organisations.

And Jac shares her four R’s and the Keeping it Real theory called AIR when it comes to what to do the minute you f**k up.

A Storyteller and a Leadership Coach walk into a bar… literally! In this episode, recorded in a Melbourne bar with a live audience, Jac sits down with Ral to unpack her latest book, Story Intelligence: The Craft of Authentic Storytelling Made Smarter with AI.

Together they explore why storytelling remains one of the most powerful leadership tools and how AI is elevating it in ways we’ve never seen before.

Ral introduces SQ (Story Intelligence) – a bold new concept she’s determined to see in the dictionary and reveals how leaders, creators and everyday humans can use SQ to communicate with clarity, authenticity and influence.

This is storytelling for a new era: real, relevant and reimagined. A big thank you to all the Keepers who joined us at this live recording.

Offsites should be the most energising day in your team’s year…So why do so many feel like a hostage situation with pastries?

• How to design an agenda that wakes people up (literally and mentally)
• Simple ways to link your offsite to real business outcomes
• Fresh ideas to inspire, align and fire up your people for the year ahead
