About the guest: Dr. Jonathan Chernilo is a Chilean-trained orthopedic surgeon with clinical experience across Chile, the UK and Australia.

Listen NowCan you lead with kindness while holding high standards of accountability in an environment shaped by trauma, burnout, and systemic inequality? Most organisations talk about values, but very few operationalise them as a decision-making framework, a hiring filter, and a performance standard. Kathryn Lawrence is the CEO of Orana House Inc, a leader navigating the complex realities of supporting women and children escaping domestic violence while building a workforce culture grounded in consistency, care, and courage. In this episode of The Human Edge, she explains how psychological safety is not a "soft skill" but a hard operational discipline required for sustainable performance in high-pressure sectors.

Listen NowWhen AI influences who gets escalated, where patients are treated, and what gets missed, healthcare leaders are no longer only building products.
