    In this episode, Anna and Stuart are joined by special guest Ruth Denyer to unpack a listener’s powerful question:

    "Dear Aunty Treacle, over the last 12 months I have been working on a project to bring efficiency to the way we do safety on my site. In an ideal world, I would now see this rolled out over all our projects, but I am struggling with getting the balance right between promoting it as my idea and not wanting to come across as arrogant or like I’m craving recognition. Ultimately, I think this work could make a difference, so I want to be successful – but as a woman in a male-dominated environment, I want to make sure I don’t undersell myself. Can you give me some advice please?" Together, they get into the messy middle of visibility and humility, and why promoting your work doesn’t have to mean promoting yourself in a way that feels uncomfortable. Expect reflections on confidence, ego, gender dynamics, and how to let your work speak for you, without letting it get lost. There’s also practical advice on handling trust dynamics in organisations, building allyship, and speaking about team efforts with honesty and clarity.

    Key Topics Covered:

    • Why the ick around self-promotion is real and common
    • The difference between confidence and ego
    • How to speak about your work with integrity
    • Building visibility without losing humility
    • The power of team language: using “we” over “I”
    • Socialising your ideas through others
    • How gender and environment can shape how we show up
    • Creating a “success folder” to boost self-belief
    • Why trust and intent are the foundations of influence

    This episode also features crowdsourced advice from our community, because when it comes to sticky situations like this, there’s never just one right answer.

    Special guest: Ruth Denyer – Safety and risk leader in the creative industries, with a long track record of speaking up, sharing insight, and helping others lead with purpose and perspective.

    Welcome to the first episode of Aunty Treacle!

    In this debut episode, Anna, Stuart, and special guest Zoe Hayes dive into an important listener question:

    "As an introvert, I often feel overlooked and undervalued. How can I get my voice heard?"

Whether you're introverted yourself, work alongside quieter colleagues, or want to build inclusive conversations, this episode offers a smorgasbord of strategies to help you (or others) thrive. Key Topics Covered:
    • The hidden superpowers of introverts
    • Preparation, presence, and how to "engineer" your voice into the room
    • The value (and limits) of labels like "introvert" and "extrovert"
    • How to handle being spoken over (in the moment and afterward)
    • Building influence through "warm-ups" and side conversations
    • Why small acts of bravery build long-term confidence
    • The power of observation and great questions
    • Practical tips on positioning yourself physically and digitally
