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.

Emotional intelligence used to be call soft skills, however the future just made EI the power skills.
As AI gets smarter, the leaders who can sense emotion, read the room, and stay regulated under pressure will be the ones still standing. Tech will expose emotional blind spots faster than you can say “feedback” the question is, will we use it to connect and influence… or to manipulate?
In this episode, Jac & Ral dive into the future of EQ: boundaried empathy (caring without carrying everything), emotionally intelligent organisations (not just leaders), and why EQ + adaptability is the new leadership currency.
If you think emotional intelligence is fluffy, you’re already behind. It's time to learn more or get automated out of relevance.

Have you ever been asked what your leadership style is? And were you clear, confident and articulate in your response? Most of us either don’t know it, or if we do, don’t communicate it well.
In this episode, Jac and Ral discuss the 10 traditional leader styles – what we think is relevant for today and what we think isn’t. Ral even comes up with a new style (watch this one take off!) and Jac shares 3 new leader archetypes for those leaders who need to be future focused… which is all of us!
Enjoy.

In this episode, Jac and Ral explore the concept of “leading from the side” - a leadership stance that sits between the traditional command-and-control approach and servant leadership (leading from behind).
What organisations need today is less about the single strong person out front giving all the orders, and less about the heroic self-effacing leader in the background, and more about someone who positions themselves alongside their teams enabling, supporting, influencing and co-creating rather than simply directing.
Listen in for practical tips on how to build real relationships, ask powerful questions, delegate ownership, and celebrate small moves in that collaborative direction.

So instead of breaking bad… we’re Breaking Good! In this latest episode, Ral opens up about a recent health scare that became the catalyst for big, positive change.
This isn’t her first rodeo, she knew for awhile she wasn’t at peak performance, her Oura ring told her… daily. Jac suggested throwing the ring away but Ral’s smart, she took responsibility and shares how she created a new healthier habit - and the reason it was easier this time by getting crystal clear on her why.
Together, Jac and Ral unpack how to use “Breaking Good” moments to create healthier habits, find motivation that lasts, and build a life that feels good from the inside out.

We are all chasing a good life, a happy life and a meaningful life, but recent research claims we should be chasing a psychological rich life… what is that?
A psychological rich life is marked by novel experiences, perspective sharing insights and complexity. This type of life has more discomfort than a happy or meaningful life and asks us to leave our comfort zones and be open to changing our minds, so we get to experience a much richer more reflective life.
It's all about your life journey and your accumulation of rich experiences, which won’t always be joyful. Jac challenges you to embrace the challenging, the complex, the uncomfortable and Ral shares one such holiday which was exactly that! She also wants to know what happens when you eat asparagus??
Enjoy this psychologically rich episode!

Resilience, courage and the power of positive mindset…Seven-time world surfing champ Layne Beachley can teach us how to achieve all three. She’s a legend, driven by immense purpose and she keeps it real in this great part 1 interview with Ral.
Hear Layne talk openly about the multiple times she thought of giving up, and how she used the lessons she’s learned and applied these – mental fortitude, her ability to listen to her own body and intuition, her fear of success, her ignorance to her own fears and judgements and when she started taking personal accountability.
If you’re chasing success in your personal or professional life, don’t miss part 1 of this inspiring interview with Layne and Ral.

Do you display the eight raw signals of true high performance?

Aftercoaching leaders across industries, Jac has seen the patterns: there are a handful of traits that quietly separate the serious players from the seat-warmers.
They’re not buzzwords, they’re behaviours. And when you spot them, you know you’re dealing with someone operatingon a different level.
In this episode of Keeping it Real, Jac & Ral unpack what those traits look like in action, without the fluff, without the clichés. Just the raw signals of true high performance.

We all see others with more… better careers, happier lives, stylish homes, perfectly behaved kids and we get envious. And we also know that to compare is crazy, because not everything is as it seems.
Jac worked in private banking and saw the complexity of lots of wealth… the grief was greater than the joy! What you see on social media and hear from others isn’t always the REAL deal.
Ral shares a great learning from James Clear on the times comparison can be really valuable to you. Listen in to find out more. And always remember, the greatest gift that will bring you the most joy is choices 😉

Some might say Jac is a failure when it comes to cake baking, and whilst Ral is one of Australia’s leading storytellers for business, she’s also been known to not fill a public workshop… is that a failure?
In this episode we define failing as not having a go… to win, learn and evolve you need to make mistakes, because it’s how you bounce back that matters.
So how resilient are you when it comes to your ‘failings’ – there are 3 levels to resilience and if you can master all 3, especially the ‘social level’ then, like Jac & Ral, you will have no trouble at all embracing failing and failing fast!
