Did you know the loneliest age group is 19–29? Loneliness doesn’t just affect older people, and tackling this hidden crisis is at the heart of the work of Together Co, a Brighton and Hove, based charity that has just celebrated its 25th anniversary.
In this episode, I speak with the inspiring April Baker, CEO of Together Co. With a background in psychology, April transitioned into the charity sector where she discovered her passion for giving back and creating meaningful change, values deeply influenced by her parents.
We speak about psychology, coaching, and the development of leadership skills, as well as the many ways success is defined, how society often measures it, versus the reality of what it feels like behind the scenes. April shares her belief in moving away from rigid hierarchies in leadership and explains how she integrates her knowledge of transactional analysis, and self-determination theory to foster belonging, motivation, and connection. She reflects on her own leadership journey and why empowering others has been central to her work and philosophy.
This conversation is a thoughtful reminder that leadership is not about status, power or ego, but about creating spaces where people feel valued, supported, and part of something greater. April’s insights show how psychology and compassion can shape a new model of leadership, one rooted in collaboration, belonging, and purpose.
