162 The Unlock Moment Box of Keys #26: How To Make People Feel Safe
You tell your team your door is always open, but still … nobody walks through. I’ve been thinking about why that is. Why people don’t always feel comfortable stepping forward, even when you genuinely want to hear from them. It reminded me of a conversation I had with the brilliant leadership coach Dr Francoise Orlov. She talked about what it means to really create psychological safety. Not just saying the right words, but stepping out to meet your people where they are. Listening, asking thoughtful questions, showing you care. It made me reflect on how we show up as leaders - not just inviting people in, but creating the kind of environment where they want to speak up. Sometimes the most powerful step is not waiting … it’s reaching out first. Have a good week!

161 Tanya Arnold: Knowing When It's Just Time - The Sports Presenter Who Said "I'm Done"
So many people I’m speaking to at the moment are describing themselves as stuck in their careers – often they’ve built a very successful career in one area of specialism and now face into a very big question – “now I have different choices, is this what I really want to do?”You might know today’s guest Tanya Arnold from her TV career – a BBC sports journalist covering two Olympics, the Commonwealth Games and the Rugby League World Cup. She was one of the first female sports reporters in broadcasting, starting at a time when women covering sport was virtually unheard of. In 2019 she hosted the first interview with the late rugby star Rob Burrow about his Motor Neurone Disease diagnosis – she calls it the hardest but also the most important interview she’s ever done. Today she’s a patron of the West Yorkshire MND Association.Two years ago Tanya started a new path in her career and just recently she posted on Instagram “I’m going it alone – here’s to the variety and freewheeling!”Exploring your Unlock Moments can be a powerful way to figure out the path ahead. I can’t wait to hear more about how Tanya is navigating this latest career transition and I’m curious about the parallels you might draw as you listen.

Su The Unlock Moment: find your purpose for leadership and life
My name’s Dr Gary Crotaz, I’m an international speaker, an executive coach, and I coined the term The Unlock Moment.
An Unlock Moment is that flash of remarkable clarity when you suddenly know the right path ahead. Unlock Moments define us. They teach us about ourselves. And we remember them decades later.
In exploring Unlock Moments on this podcast and in my speaking and coaching work, I’ve discovered how we can see ourselves through a new lens, how we can make new and powerful connections, and how we can get right to the heart of our deepest underlying sense of purpose.
In these intimate and curious conversations I explore how people find fulfilment, happiness and balance. From ordinary people with extraordinary stories, to some of the most successful people on the planet, you’ll hear them reflect on those pivotal life and career moments, when they suddenly knew something they didn’t know before.
And as you listen, maybe you’ll be inspired to explore your own Unlock Moment.
