The Secret Resume

From Pro Tennis to Productive Living: ADHD, Focus & Finding Flow with Jamie Toyne

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 08:00:00 +0000

In the 50th episode of The Secret Resume, former pro-tennis hopeful turned entrepreneur Jamie Toyne traces his journey from the intensity of competitive tennis to building a brain-friendly life and business. He explains why he left social media for eight years to protect his focus and mental health, how he now creates with a small team, and what actually helps him concentrate day-to-day.

We discuss ADHD vs. VAST (Variable Attention Stimulus Trait), practical ways to lower cognitive load, and why enjoying the process beats chasing distant milestones. Along the way: the reality of tennis economics, the pressure that comes with sponsorships, and re-thinking the myth of the “tortured” creative.

You’ll hear about:

Leaving social media and choosing platforms intentionally for wellbeing and output.
ADHD as a lifelong pattern, what VAST looks like in modern office life, and the overlap in solutions.
Practical levers: sleep, nutrition, movement, and gentle use of medication where appropriate.
Pressure, burnout and why he walked away from a sponsorship-backed tennis path.
Creativity without angst; catching ideas and working with flow.

From Scarcity to Self-Compassion: Dennis Harhalakis on The Journey to Healthier Money Conversations

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 08:00:00 +0000

Welcome to The Secret Resume! In this episode, Dennis Harhalakis joins host Melody Moore for a powerful and deeply personal exploration of our relationship with money. Dennis, a money coach, opens up about his own journey—growing up with scarcity mindsets inherited from his parents, facing money anxiety after a long corporate career, and how these experiences led him to discover the transformative power of money coaching.

Together, they unpack the hidden stories, emotions, and patterns that shape how we think about, talk about, and handle money—often without even realising it. From the challenges of building a new life after years in finance, to the ripple effects of inherited anxieties across generations, Dennis shares insights on the importance of self-compassion and the need to reframe money from a source of shame and fear, to one of empowerment and energy.

Whether you’re curious about breaking your own money taboos, setting healthy boundaries in business, or just want to feel less alone in your financial struggles, this conversation offers practical wisdom and heartfelt honesty. Tune in for a refreshing look at money, meaning, and the freedom that comes from rewriting your personal narrative.

Welcome to an exciting new episode of The Secret Resume. In today’s conversation, host Melody Moore sits down with Emma Regan, founder of The Nourishment Academy and Surrey Female Entrepreneurs, for a refreshingly open chat about the unconventional career path that’s shaped her into a force for women’s empowerment.

The Wounded Healer: Laurence Barrett on Resilience, Risk and Transforming Leadership

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 08:00:00 +0100

Welcome to another episode of The Secret Resume, hosted by Melody Moore. In today’s conversation, Melody sits down with Laurence Barrett, founder of Heresy Consulting and a passionate advocate for the transformative power of Jungian psychology in leadership and organisational development.

Laurence opens up about his unconventional upbringing, from a childhood shaped by a police officer father with a knack for spotting “gaps in the system,” to formative experiences living in Hong Kong. He discusses how a sense of outsiderness and resilience, rooted in his family’s traveller background and his own early disruptions, propelled him towards questioning systems and ultimately forging his own unique path in both corporate life and coaching.

Together, Melody and Laurence explore the interplay between personal history, purpose, and professional practise - delving into everything from Marxism and the influence of Angela Davis, to the power and mystery of Dordogne cave paintings. Lawrence also shares how his journey led him deep into Jungian psychology, both as a lens for understanding human systems and as a practical toolkit for developing leaders and coaches.

Whether you're curious about the secret motivations behind great coaches, fascinated by the subtle differences between coaching and therapy, or interested in the profound impact of noticing and self-awareness, this episode is rich with insight, personal stories, and thought-provoking reflections on what it means to lead, learn, and help others grow.

Episode 21 - Emmanuel Gobillot - 'Words and Pictures Make Your World'

Thu, 01 Feb 2024 08:00:00 +0000

I was so excited when my guest this week said 'yes' to coming on the podcast. It's not every day that you have a sought-after leadership speaker and author of multiple leadership books agree to sit down and have a chat with you!

Emmanuel Gobillot is described as ‘the first leadership guru for the digital generation’ and ‘the freshest voice in leadership today’, He has advised organisations across the globe for over 20 years, and his consulting work includes developing leaders, establishing teams, and changing cultures - all of which has been based on his mantra – ‘there must be a better way and together we can find it'.

I first met Emmanuel almost 20 years ago, and it was an absolute joy to learn more about him - including how his desire to entertain at school led to him being forced to wear a donkey's hat, his teenage desire to sign a world peace treaty, how he learnt to debate at St Andrew's university, that he is terrified before he goes on stage (and he speaks on some pretty big stages!) and why he wrote his latest book 'This is Not a Leadership Book'.

This is truly one not to miss!
