What if one of the biggest factors affecting your leadership isn't another course, another strategy or another productivity hack... but the quality of your sleep?

In this episode of Leading You, Julie Hyde is joined by behavioural scientist and performance expert Dr Jemma King to explore the science of sleep and why it's one of the most overlooked drivers of leadership performance.

Together, they unpack what really happens when you wake at 3am, how sleep impacts your ability to think, regulate emotions and make decisions, and the simple habits that can help you perform at your best.

In this episode:
Why sleep is a leadership strategy, not a luxury.
What happens to your brain while you sleep.
Why so many people wake at 2am or 3am.
How poor sleep affects decision-making, resilience and emotional regulation.
The role of cortisol, caffeine and circadian rhythms.
Practical ways to improve your sleep and performance.

Want to know the secret to confident and successful leadership?

Every week, Leading You showcases leadership of all kinds and you get the scoop on how to be an effective, modern leader who makes an impact.

There’s one thing we all have in common. We’re all leaders. First and foremost, you’re a leader of you. You don’t need a title to be a leader. Leadership is a mindset which anyone can adopt to create influence. The more leaders the world has, the better it will be.

I'll let you into something I know to be true - You can’t be a leader of others unless you’re a leader of self first. So if you want to have impact that leads to prosperity and happiness, it all starts with you. With your mindset and personal leadership toolbox, which Leading You will help you build up.

Leading you is hosted by Julie Hyde, an entrepreneur, corporate drop out and passionate leader. Julie knows one thing: you can’t control what happens to you but you can control how you respond. It’s why Leading You is important.

Each week, guests share their secret sauce. They reveal their roadmaps to success. How they’ve stayed anchored to who they are, insights into their courage and resilience and how to be emotionally and behaviourally agile. It’s a conversation, not an interrogation, and you’ll hear the human side of household names.

Leading You | Self-Leadership for High Achievers

The 3am Wake Up Call | Sleep, Performance and Leadership | with Dr Jemma King

How many warning signs have you ignored because you convinced yourself you could just keep going?

In this solo episode of Leading You, Julie Hyde explores a pattern she sees far too often in high-achieving women and leaders... pushing through exhaustion, ignoring the signals their bodies are sending, and wearing over-functioning as a badge of honour.

Drawing on her own experience with cancer, Julie challenges the belief that resilience means never slowing down and asks one powerful question:

What are you trying to prove... and to who?

In this episode:
Why high performers are particularly vulnerable to burnout.
The difference between resilience and constantly pushing through.
How over-functioning quietly becomes our identity.
The warning signs your body may already be sending.
Why leadership today requires a different way of operating.
The questions every leader should ask before their body forces them to stop.

What are You Trying to Prove? And to Who?

What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't a lack of confidence...but caring too much about what other people think?

In this episode of Leading You, Julie Hyde shares a simple moment from a morning walk that became an unexpected lesson in self-leadership. Watching a father joyfully sing to his baby daughter without worrying who might be listening sparked a powerful question...

How much of your life are you editing because of an audience that isn't even watching?

Julie explores why fear of judgement shapes our decisions more than we realise, how self-editing chips away at our confidence, and why authentic leadership begins with giving yourself permission to simply be yourself.

In this episode:
Why fear of judgement quietly influences our choices.
How self-editing affects confidence and leadership.
The hidden cost of trying to meet other people's expectations.
Why authenticity is one of the greatest acts of self-leadership.
A simple question that could change the way you show up.

He Was Singing to His Baby and Didn't Care Who Was Watching

What if happiness wasn't something you had to chase, but something you could learn?

In this episode of Leading You, Julie Hyde is joined by happiness expert, speaker and author Declan Edwards to explore the science behind happiness, emotional intelligence and why so many of us fall into the "I'll be happy when..." trap.

Together they unpack why achievement alone doesn't create fulfilment, how our emotions influence those around us, and why happiness is less about circumstance and more about the skills we build every day.

In this episode we discuss:
Why we're pursuing happiness more than ever, yet feeling less fulfilled.
The "hedonic treadmill" and why the goalposts keep moving.
Why happiness is a learnable skill, not a personality trait.
The link between emotional intelligence, leadership and wellbeing.
How perfectionism, people pleasing and external validation affect happiness.
Why relationships have a greater impact on happiness than success.
A simple two-word exercise to improve emotional awareness.
