  • From Politics to Coaching: Katie O'Malley's Journey to (en)Courage-ing Workplace Transformation
    2025/05/29

    In this powerful episode of The Disruptive Leader, host Ranya sits down with Katie O'Malley, Founder and Principal Coach of (en)Courage Coaching, for an incredibly raw and insightful conversation about career transformation, workplace toxicity, and the courage to bet on yourself.

    Katie opens up about her unconventional journey from a political science major to commercial real estate to experiencing a mental health crisis that ultimately led her to become a leadership coach.

    She shares the pivotal moment when she realized the misalignment between her values and work environment was creating a mental health emergency, leading to a medical leave of absence in 2012 - a time when mental health wasn't widely discussed in professional settings.

    Katie's story is one of resilience and authenticity. She transformed her personal struggle into a mission to help others navigate the intersection of mental health and career satisfaction.

    Now serving over 200 clients since 2018, Katie brings a unique "triple threat methodology," combining counseling, organizational psychology, and leadership education to help individuals and organizations create more humane workplaces.

    Her insights on the five dimensions of employee well-being and toxic workplace identification provide listeners with practical frameworks for evaluating their work situations.


    • Katie's Core Values and Authenticity Framework [2:30] Katie introduces her three core values - courage, learning, and justice - explaining how operating from these principles makes decision-making easier and allows authentic energy. She emphasizes authenticity means knowing why you show up the way you do.
    • The Unconventional Career Journey: From Politics to Mental Health Crisis [5:15] Katie traces her path from John Kerry's presidential campaign to nonprofit work to commercial real estate, where a values mismatch triggered a mental health crisis. She openly discusses taking medical leave for depression and panic disorder in 2012.
    • The Triple Threat Methodology: Counseling Meets Coaching [12:45] Katie explains pursuing a counseling master's but becoming credentialed as a coach instead, allowing her to work at the intersection of mental health and career development when insurance wouldn't cover work-related therapy sessions.
    • The Five Dimensions of Employee Wellbeing [23:00] Katie breaks down Gallup's framework identifying five critical areas: career (advancement paths), financial (fair compensation), community (belonging), physical (boundaries and self-care), and emotional (psychological safety).
    • Identifying and Escaping Toxic Workplaces [28:30] Rather than universal toxicity, Katie explains how workplaces become toxic through values mismatches. Work should have neutral impact at worst, and she discusses evaluating needs across the five wellbeing dimensions.
    • The Great Resignation and Workplace Ghosting Phenomenon [35:20] Katie addresses mutual ghosting between employers and candidates, with AI-generated applications creating bloated pools while companies fail interview commitments. She emphasizes compassion on both sides.
    • Risk Tolerance and Making the Leap [15:30] Responding to Ranya's story about quitting on the spot, Katie discusses helping clients assess risk tolerance and financial needs before career changes, using Hogan Assessments and setting concrete readiness markers.
    • Leadership Development Gap and Systems Issues [42:15] Katie reveals people are promoted to leadership at 30 but receive training at 42 - a 12-year gap causing failure. Individual performance issues often reflect broader systems problems, not personal failings.
    • Building Trust-Based Workplace Culture [48:00] Katie emphasizes assessing trust levels before working on culture.

  • Disrupting Borders: How Emma Löfgren is Redefining International Journalism
    2025/05/18
    In this episode, Ranya Barakat speaks with Emma Löfgren, editor of The Local Sweden and deputy managing editor of The Local Europe. Emma shares how journalism can help people find their place in new countries, discussing immigration challenges in Europe, media representation, and the future of news. With insights from her decade at The Local and personal experiences living abroad, Emma offers a fresh perspective on cross-cultural communication and inclusive journalism.BULLET POINTS OF KEY TOPICS & CHAPTER MARKERSIntroduction to Emma Löfgren [01:30] Emma introduces herself as a digital news editor who believes journalism helps people find their place in the world. As editor of The Local Sweden and deputy managing editor of The Local Europe, she oversees English-language news for foreign professionals across nine European countries.The changing immigrant experience [04:12] Europe has become increasingly unwelcoming over the past decade, with tightening immigration rules and hostile rhetoric. Emma notes many immigrants feel bitter toward Sweden after investing years only to feel unwelcome as policies shift from "come to Sweden" to "please leave."Media representation challenges [07:35] Domestic media often lumps all immigrants together as either threats or objects of pity. Emma highlights how mainstream outlets overlook certain immigrant groups (like Indian tech workers) and treat immigrants as subjects to write about rather than audiences to write for. When surveyed by The Local, immigrants consistently say "thank you for asking" about their perspectives.The Örebro shooting response [17:20] Emma explains writing an opinion piece challenging Swedish lawmakers after the Örebro shooting, where most victims were immigrants. She discusses the Prime Minister's speech acknowledging immigrant vulnerability while pointing out his previous rhetoric blamed social problems on immigrants.Moving beyond stereotypes [24:05] "I'm Swedish, but I'm also a woman, a mother, a journalist," Emma notes, explaining how we all belong to multiple groups beyond nationality. The conversation explores how focusing on commonalities rather than differences could reduce polarization and create greater unity.Curiosity as a bridge-builder [27:50] The most powerful tool for harmony is genuine curiosity about each other. Emma emphasizes asking questions and approaching differences with openness rather than assumptions.Living abroad in Scotland [31:40] Emma shares her experience moving to Scotland for university and working at a community newspaper in the Western Isles. She reflects that living abroad made her "highs higher and lows lower" compared to life in Sweden.Navigating cultural differences [36:30] From butter knife etiquette to eye contact norms, cultural misunderstandings are inevitable but resolvable through open communication. Emma shares examples of how simple conversations can bridge seemingly significant cultural divides.Reimagining journalism [44:20] Today's journalism needs less negative news without context and more listening to audiences. Emma advocates for a transparent approach that brings readers along on a journey of discovery rather than pretending journalists have all the answers.Identity beyond borders [53:40] The conversation concludes with reflections on belonging. Ranya shares that "home is inside of me and not a place," while Emma describes how people can put down new roots anywhere, like the Iraqi immigrant who became an expert on his Swedish village's history.RESOURCES & LINKSThe Local Sweden: https://www.thelocal.seContact Emma: emma.lofgren@thelocal.comEmma's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emma-löfgrenCALL TO ACTIONSubscribe to The Disruptive Leader Podcast for more conversations on leadership and cross-cultural perspectivesShare this episode with colleagues navigating multicultural environmentsConnect with Ranya Barakat: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ranyabarakat/
