The Professional Misstep: What You Do Next Matters Most (with Pearl Moses)

Founder of HiveRisk, Kate Burt, is joined by Pearl Moses, Director and Head of Regulatory Compliance at Setfords. Pearl is the author of "Owning Up To Mistakes", and former Risk and Compliance Lead at The Law Society of England and Wales. The podcast focuses on something that doesn't get discussed enough: what happens after you get it wrong? Why accountability is so important. What rebuilding trust actually looks like. Why psychological safety determines whether problems get flagged early — or buried until they explode. This one hits close to home for anyone who's ever had that stomach-dropping moment of realising they've made a mistake, or are sitting on a mistake they haven't reported.
