The Social Link - The Beginning Kai and Finn kick off The Social Link with a proper yarn about why this show exists. Growing up on the Kapiti Coast, school pressure, uniforms, phones in classrooms and why youth voices are often missing from radio. It’s raw, conversational and a bit all over the place at times as they find their feet, but that’s the point. This episode sets the tone for honest, unfiltered conversations about life, growing up and being young in Aotearoa right now. Supported by NZ On Air & Coast Access Radio Play Episode
Neurodivergence Matters - Meeting Makeover: From Overwhelm to Outcomes Meetings are one of the most common—and most exhausting—workplace experiences for neurodivergent people. Ambiguity, fast turn-taking, sensory overload, and hidden rules can turn even short meetings into a draining exercise in masking and survival. In this episode, Stephen Harrison explores why meetings fail neurodivergent participants and how small, practical changes can dramatically improve participation and outcomes. Drawing on over 30 years of project and change leadership, Stephen shares clear frameworks, scripts, and micro-fixes that facilitators can apply immediately. This is not about slowing meetings down or lowering expectations. It’s about lowering the cognitive waterline so people can think, contribute, and be heard—benefiting neurodivergent and neurotypical participants alike. For practical tools, thoughtful reflections, and support for neurodivergent people and those who care about them, visit https://thrivalcoaching.nz Play Episode
