Listen "Behind the Mic Ep3"
Episode Synopsis
Behind the Mic, Episode 3In this final Behind the Mic bonus episode, we step back from the interviews of IPAA Insiders Season 1 to reflect on the stories, insights, and shared experiences that shaped the series.Host Jo Rose is joined by Amy Mathai of NSW Treasury, and Megan Maletic, previous Lead Consulting Partner at Deloitte for the NSW Government and public services sector. Together, they explore what it really means to move between the private and public sectors, the mindset required to thrive in public service, and how curiosity, listening, and purpose can shape meaningful careers.From navigating change and maintaining enthusiasm, to the power of storytelling and personal honesty, this conversation highlights the human side of public service work. Amy reflects on learning through challenge and growth, Megan shares insights on sustaining energy and seeking diverse perspectives, and Jo unpacks why origin stories matter so deeply in how we understand leadership and service.This episode doesn’t offer a single roadmap. Instead, it invites reflection on learning, adaptability, and connection, and encourages more voices, especially frontline staff, to join the conversation in future seasons.Whether you’re considering a transition into the public sector, thinking about how you grow and lead through change, or curious about stepping forward to share your story, this Behind the Mic episode offers thoughtful insights and a fitting close to Season 1, while setting the tone for what’s to come in Season 2.SHOW CREDITS Host: Jo RoseWriters: Alessia Campagna, Nicola Hardy and Jo RoseProducer and Editor: Alessia CampagnaTechnical Producer: Anthony WatsonExecutive Producers: Jo Rose and Nicola Hardy Music Credits: Let The Good Times Roll: Music from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/ra/let-good-times-rollLicense code: DNAIHKYCKOUU6HBT Enchanted Puzzle: Music from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/andrey-rossi/enchanted-puzzleLicense code: YTN0OYX8RBDDUQ73 Easy Flow: Music from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/hybridas/easy-flowLicense code: R2FTWOYRCB7YOW21Not That Easy: Music from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/not-that-easyLicense code: MYQOVXXWAFZULECH On Tiptoes: Music from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/on-tiptoes We would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which the podcast is taking place today.
