In this episode of the GROWTH Schema podcast, I sit down with Olivia Bilocca, Fractional HR Leader, HR Consultant, Trainer, and Warranted Systemic Psychotherapist, for a conversation that sits at the intersection of organisational life and human behaviour.

Together, we explore the fascinating overlap between HR and psychotherapy, discussing how both disciplines ultimately revolve around understanding people, relationships, and change. We unpack the concept of role identity and what happens when we wear multiple professional hats, while reflecting on the challenges of navigating difficult conversations with empathy, clarity, and integrity.

We also delve into the topic of self-disclosure, when sharing parts of ourselves can strengthen connection, and when boundaries matter. Throughout the discussion, ethics emerges as a central theme, challenging us to think more deeply about responsibility, professionalism, and what it means to genuinely put people first.

This is a thoughtful conversation about authenticity, relationships, and the balance between being human and being professional.
