2026 will reward the brave, the adaptable and the strategically future-fluent. So, are you ready??

Jac has 6 predictions for our careers this year based on what she is seeing, coaching, researching and hearing from successful contemporary leaders. Ral reckons she’s on the money with these predictions and shares her experience and observations.

Whether you believe them or not, Jac & Ral are convinced on one thing… the future is bright for those who unlearn and adapt to what is a rapidly changing workplace!

Inspired by this year’s International Women’s Day campaign, Jac & Ral discuss a different slant on Give to Gain… Because women already give so much!

Start by thinking about your gain. Define it, understand what it is you will or will not gain from giving. Then think about your value. How much are you worth? We can tell you it’s more than you think

Ral talks about pricing your value and shares a great story and Jac has a tip when it comes to pricing which you should start doing today. Enjoy Keepers!

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.
