Better Than Yesterday with Osher Günsberg

When you look at Australian politics, you’ll know that preference deals play a big role in who eventually ends up in power. But preferences can put you in a powerful position too.  In this episode Osher talks about how you can make a preference deal with yourself to win a better day today - particularly if you're feeling terrible about something that 'should' have happened or something you 'could' have done...

When we look to someone for answers, 'I don't know' is maybe the last thing we want to hear. But it could be one of the best things a leader can say - a gateway to honesty, curiosity, and flexibility, to a bigger picture, to much better decisions, and to a revolutionary process called 'blindspotting'. Renowned leadership and management thought leader and author Dr Kristin Ferguson leads Osher through this process, with examples of just how much it can change our business and personal lives.

Osher talks about what it’s like to host the Real Housewives Of Sydney Reunion. The short version is: it’s intense. How intense? Well, arguably one of the most emotional gigs of his TV career, leading to one of the most fascinating physical reactions he’s ever had from doing his job.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is what you need to know to make sense of the election and what it should mean for us all going forward. Nine's chief political editor Charles Croucher unpacks the key elements that decided this election, whether Trump played a role, what the liberal party must learn and what the Albanese government has to take action on He also speaks more broadly about the importance of a strong opposition, the place of kindness in leadership, and just how much the way we get information on politics has changed.

Something happened on the other side of that election result which I would really love to talk about.Something which we’ve I’ve noticed missing among all the forensic dissection of how the libs lost this or the greens lost that.There’s a massive, glaring fact which I haven’t seen discussed yet, so I thought I’d put it out there.It’s got to do with what we’re being told we are vs what we actually are.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sometimes it can feel like everything is out of our control - that things happen to us rather than for us or with us. But what if instead of fearing change, we could know that we were ready for it, and that we could harness it deliberately to steer us toward the life we want? This is exactly what this chat between Osher and Andrea Clarke will help you do. Andrea is a work futurist, speaker and author of two books: 'Futurefit: how to stay relevant and competitive in the future of work', and her latest 'Adapt: mastering change in four steps' Here, through practical tips and tools and in the example of her own remarkable career, Andrea show us how to look for signals that change is coming (or needs to come), how we can have agency no matter what life throws at us and the possibilities being adaptable opens for us.

There’s two kinds of people when it comes to holidays.Those who are more than happy to spend two straight weeks napping by the pool, and those who struggle with suddenly not having something to do.Osher is most definitely in the latter cohort.In this episode he shares how over time, he’s had to learn a lot about what to do when he’s not working. Mostly because when he goes too hard in either direction (work or play) - it’s not a good time for me or anyone.::Subscribe to Osher’s Substack here: https://oshergunsberg.substack.com/Join Osher and guests for the next live show - Story Club at The Sydney Comedy Festival - tickets at storyclublive.comMay 11 The Comedy Store, Sydney.

This episode was recorded live at SXSW 2024 - and it might be a very different example of what a politician sounds like from what you've been hearing recently. Here, Allegra not only reveals to Osher and an eager crowd the realities of political life in Canberra, the best and worst things about the job and why some other politicians are focused on the wrong things, but also the importance of empathy, having hard conversations, how she personally stays mentally strong and how we can focus more on people to find solutions.  Special thanks to Wolfgang Günsberg for help with the intro and outro of this episode.
