You may have heard the buzz about fractional CMO, fractional COO, fractional CEO lately, but what exactly does it mean—and why is everyone talking about it?
Imagine being able to control your work hours, choose your clients, and do more of what you love without being tied to a full-time executive role.
Fractional leadership is that game-changing opportunity, and in this episode 123 of Meaningful Work, Meaningful Life, and the final of Season 10, I sit down with Karina Mikhli, a leader in this Fractional space, to share her journey and expertise.
Four years ago, Karina couldn’t have imagined the impact she would create in the world of fractional leadership.
Her journey has led her to an unexpected but powerful reality. Karina had already built an impressive career in publishing and operations but found herself drawn to something different—something more flexible and aligned with her passion for optimising businesses.
She discovered fractional leadership, a role that allowed her to help companies scale without being confined to a traditional executive job.
But she didn’t stop there.
Karina saw a need for a supportive network for fractional leaders, and so she founded @Fractionals United, now a vibrant community of nearly 11,000 members!
Like many entrepreneurs, Karina faced challenges—navigating self-doubt, building a community from scratch, and balancing work with her creative outlets.
This conversation will inspire anyone who’s considering the leap into fractional leadership or looking for ways to make a meaningful impact in their career.
🔊 Ready to dive into the future of work and learn how Karina’s mission is reshaping leadership?
Listen to Episode 123 of Meaningful Work, Meaningful Life to hear more about Karina’s journey from being born in Ukraine, transitioning from a high school teacher to becoming a fractional COO.

When considering employee advocacy or brand ambassador programs, organisations often assume:
⛔ It’s just employees sharing marketing on social media
⛔ It’s not relevant for managers and executives
⛔ It’s about continuously praising the company
⛔Tightly controlling the messaging of employee advocates is the key to success.
⛔ It’s only for sales and marketing staff
However, my guests in season 9 of my podcast Meaningful Work, Meaningful Life shared insights dispelling these myths and revealing the true potential of employee advocacy:
✅ Success requires share-worthy content and a culture where people enjoy working. (episode #104 Bradley Keenan)
✅ Allow people to proudly share what they're passionate about in your organisation (episode #105 Jessica Pharm)
✅ Executives should lead by example in sharing first online (episode #106 Michael Sørensen)
✅Invest in managers' abilities to form authentic relationships with their collaborators. (episode #109 Kristin Bell)
✅ Hire smart people who align with your values and support their wellbeing. People need to feel at home when working with you. (episode #108 Yao Azumah)
✅ Encourage self-belief and compassionate leadership. Stop, look and listen (episode #107 @Harpal Dhatt)
✅ Balance profits and human rights through human-centered technology. (episode #111 Fatima Roumate)
✅Coach managers to help employees navigate their careers and feel they belong. (episode #110 Antonia Bartels)
Done right, an employee advocacy program simply empowers people for a mutually beneficial partnership built on trust and care.
The old command-and-control mindsets misunderstand this potential.
But now you see the power of an authentic approach.

I had great conversations with my guests in this season 8, focussed on the great re-evaluation where we discussed their perspective on the great resignation that saw a massive exodus of employees out of their jobs during the covid 19 pandemic.
I thought I’d select the takeaways from our conversations in these short extracts. Of course, you can listen or listen again to the full episodes to get the full interviews.
We’ve explored many angles and the implications of the great resignation: from purpose to finding clarity, to financial well-being and health wellbeing, the end of a system and the need to reinvent a more empowering one where people can go to work and expect to have a great experience.
The takeaway 1 is that this phenomenon of great resignation is a build-up of many years of bad practices.
in episode 93, Nicole Townsend, founder of experience counts shares why she thinks that the pandemic was the perfect catalyst for employees who already felt burned out to quit and start their own venture.

Little did I know that this post was going viral with 2.5 million views and 30,000+ people reacting to it.
I invited her to talk about the key lessons she’s learnt from that post and share her journey as an HR professional and her perspective on the great resignation.
In today's episode 93 of the Meaningful Work, Meaningful Life podcast, I am delighted to talk to Nicole Townsend, the founder of experience counts.

Right from the moment someone wants to join the company, through the recruitment process and then developing and growing them, helping them navigate change, and even through their exit.
The reporter turned Marketing/HR professional has developed an acute understanding that employees are just as crucial to a company as the customers, if not more. She believes that it’s important to understand employees’ experiences at every point to encourage them to do their best and connect to the purpose. Why? When people feel empowered, they give their all, which lead to positive business results.
In our conversation, Nicole shared how she was laid off then started her business successfully in the middle of the pandemic and the critical secrets behind employees' loyalty and satisfaction at work.
