Every project has its unique challenges, but true project leadership is about more than just delivering on deadlines—it’s about legacy, self-leadership, and navigating complexity with confidence.

In this episode, I sit down with Jeanette Cremor (JC), a seasoned expert in project management with over 25 years of experience across government, higher education, and utilities. JC is the author of Real Project Leadership, where she shares a powerful framework designed to help project leaders move beyond processes and into purpose-driven leadership.

What We Cover in This Episode:
The Legacy Mindset—Why every project should be approached with the question: If it ended today, what impact have you left for tomorrow?
The Three Pillars of Real Project Leadership—Self-leadership, practice, and solution leadership, and why these matter more than traditional project management methods.
The Power of Emotional Intelligence—How “mirror moments” help leaders develop self-awareness and resilience.
Common Pitfalls in Project Leadership—Siloed teams, shifting priorities, and change resistance—and how to navigate them effectively.
Shifting Mindsets for Success—How embracing legacy-driven leadership creates lasting impact.
Building a Culture of Trust and Collaboration—Why project sponsors should be involved in setting shared values from the start.

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone leading projects—whether you’re new to leadership or a seasoned professional looking to enhance your impact and effectiveness.

Let’s Keep the Conversation Going!

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.

What Every Project Leader Needs to Know Right Now with Jeanette Cremor

This is a must-listen episode - compelling, confronting, and deeply necessary.

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Vanessa Vershaw, a workplace psychologist and trusted advisor to executives and decision-makers across ASX 20 and Fortune 100 companies. Vanessa is a fierce advocate for gender equality and social justice, recently representing the APAC region at the 2025 World Woman Foundation in Davos, and recipient of the Momentum Trailblazer of the Year Award.

Together, we unpack the uncomfortable and often silenced issue of workplace bullying —particularly the kind that exists between women. Vanessa brings real insight into why bullying thrives even in the most progressive organisations, how silence and systems protect harmful behaviour, and what leaders must do to stop enabling it.

If you care about culture, integrity, and psychological safety in the workplace—you need to hear this.

What We Cover in This Episode
What workplace bullying really looks like today – beyond the obvious
Why bullying is often ignored, minimised, or denied by senior leaders
How HR processes can retraumatise instead of protect
The emotional cost of staying silent vs. speaking up
Why high-performing environments aren’t always safe environments
The difference between performative leadership and real accountability
What true leadership looks like when the stakes are high

If this episode stirred something in you, share it with someone who needs to hear it. The silence around bullying helps no one—and change starts when we choose to speak up.

The Sisterhood Paradox - Why Women Bully Women

We’ve been sold a version of “wealth” that’s all about money, milestones, and packed calendars. But what if true wealth had less to do with your income—and more to do with your alignment?

In this episode of Leading You, I’m joined by wealth and mindset coach Emma Lagerlow, author of Worthy & Wealthy and mum of four, to redefine what it means to live a rich, fulfilling life—on your terms.

We unpack the real cost of the juggle, how values and boundaries unlock freedom, and why choosing what matters most is the greatest investment you’ll ever make. Emma also shares tools from her book including the Wealth Audit and five pillars of a worthy & wealthy life: self-worth, purpose, wellbeing, financial empowerment, and time freedom.

If you’re tired of feeling stretched too thin—and ready to lead with clarity instead of chaos—this conversation is your reset.

In this episode, we explore:
What true wealth means in a world obsessed with productivity
How to shift from urgency to intentional leadership
Why values-based decisions create emotional resilience
The power of boundaries (especially the ones we keep with ourselves)
How to use a “wealth audit” to align your life with what really matters
Emma’s personal rituals for staying grounded, present, and focused
Why self-worth is the foundation of freedom

About Emma:

Emma Lagerlow is a wealth and mindset coach, author, podcast host, and mum of four. With 25+ years of experience in finance and marketing, she blends strategic thinking with soulful insight to help women break free from burnout and design lives of purpose, wellbeing, and financial empowerment.

What it Means to be Truly Wealthy - Its Not all About Money.

In this solo episode of Leading You, I’m diving into one of the most common challenges I hear from leaders and high performers: a loss of motivation. But here’s the truth, it’s not that you’ve lost your drive. It’s that you’re out of alignment.

I break down the myth of motivation and explore what’s really behind that nagging feeling of being stuck or flat. We’ll talk about how being out of sync with your values and priorities leads to burnout, frustration, and confusion about what to do next. I also share my own experience of walking away from a successful 20-year corporate career to realign with purpose, and how that one decision changed everything.

If you’ve been feeling off, this episode is your invitation to pause, reflect, and choose differently. I’ll also introduce you to my You Always Have a Choice program and share practical steps to realign your energy, sharpen your focus, and reconnect with your leadership legacy.

Key Takeaways:
The surprising truth behind why motivation disappears
How to recognise misalignment in your life and work
Why your legacy isn’t built someday—it’s shaped by what you choose today
The mindset shift that helped me leave corporate life and find purpose
Practical strategies to get clear, regain focus, and move forward with confidence
