Emma Lawrence has spent years performing under pressure. But stepping into the commentary box as the first woman to call play-by-play rugby league brought a different kind of scrutiny.

In this episode, Emma opens up about the pressure of being "the first", the perfectionism that can quietly derail performance, and the routines that help her stay composed when the stakes are high. From voice coaching and mindfulness to recovering from mistakes, building rapport, thinking on your feet and resisting complacency, she shares the routines behind calm, confident communication.

It's a fascinating conversation about what pressure reveals and how preparation shapes the way we show up when it counts.

Commical is a Chasing Albert podcast hosted by communication specialist, trainer and coach, Marie El Daghl.

What difference can a business make to Reconciliation in Australia?

Hint: It’s not just an Acknowledgment of Country on the footer of your website.

We spoke with Adrian Cheatham, from Reconciliation Australia to learn more about the power of RAPs and the tangible benefits of having one in place. We’ve even committed to starting on ourselves.

In this episode, hear why:

  • Why over 3,300 organisations have committed to a RAP

  • The uncomfortable truth about businesses that choose to do nothing

Lauren shares why she launched the movement and what needs to change if we want to keep great talent in the game.

Are you ready to move beyond ticking boxes and truly connect with Aboriginal culture?

Fear of saying or doing the wrong thing often keeps people stuck in their comfort zones, creating barriers to genuine connection with culture and Country. But cultural confidence isn’t about perfection—it’s about intention, action, and authenticity.

In this episode of Commical, we’re joined by Aboriginal educator and cultural desensitivity expert, Rhys Paddick, who shares four simple steps to ditch fear, embrace curiosity, and find your own way to connect with Aboriginal culture. Rhys explains why small, meaningful actions matter and how marketing companies, individuals, and organizations alike can create connections that go well beyond words.

Elise Hedley-Dale has been shaking up the media world since the 90’s (exact year, not to be disclosed!). With nearly three decades of experience, she’s gone from media planner to business owner. Elise is the Founder of Media Words, a company born from the request of a loyal client – Ocean Spray.

This episode discusses how media consumption has transformed over the years from traditional TV spots and glossy magazines to the wild (and rapidly evolving) world of digital media. While some brands are quick to chase the next big thing and jump on the latest trends, it doesn’t mean you should throw out the playbook and follow suit. Elise emphasises that knowing your audience like the back of your hand is the key to creating a successful campaign. Elise reminds us of the fundamentals —understanding who your audience is, where they are, and how they want to be spoken to.

Elise and Marie discuss the power of adding a touch of humour and creativity into campaigns, from the viral ‘poo at work’ campaign (yes, you read that correctly) by Queensland Health to the clever ‘Love a Duck campaign. Elise stresses the power of simplicity and wit in creative messaging, and how a well placed billboard can still pack a punch.

What does the future of the workplace hold? Robots might not be taking over (yet), but virtual work sure is.

With over 40% of Australians working from home in some capacity, it’s clear the way we work is changing. And with this, what we expect of our workplace is too.

But is the office truly dead, or do we just need to rethink what it looks like?

In this episode of Commical, we’re joined by Angela Ferguson, leading workplace strategist, and Co-founder of Future X Collective, a leading Australian workplace design consultant. She provides insight into the workplace of the future and what it needs to look like to be successful.

Commical by Chasing Albert takes a look at the funny side of business and uncovers some nuggets of gold along the way. From bite sized piss takes to in depth conversations – this podcast is light business entertainment, not to be taken lightly.

In this episode… How to create real change at a government level. Many large organisations have the resources to appoint professionals to act on their behalf. Others start at the grass roots and do it all themselves.

We explore both sides with Australia’s leading Government Relations and Public Affairs expert, Alistair Nicholas and Dany Elachi from The Heads Up Alliance, a small community organisation made up purely of parents concerned about the harmful effects of smartphones on children. They are currently lobbying for the NSW Government to restrict the use of mobile phones in schools.

A restriction on mobile phone use only during school hours seems like a no brainer. But is it?

How would a marketing expert approach marketing their own business? That’s what I want to know when I speak with Tim Burrowes. He has long been a leading voice in marketing and media. With extensive experience as an editor and as a marketing journalist, he set up Mumbrella in 2010, one of the leading B2B publications of its time. And it sold in under 9 years. How did he build the brand? What marketing did he employ? Where did he use agencies? He shares all this and more. And more importantly, Tim shares his vision for Unmade, his latest B2B publishing venture for the marketing and media industry. The business is not yet 1, already boasts thousands of subscribers and delivers the smart, insightful and witty stories Tim is well known for. Their first event is coming up (it’s a corker!) and with many more to follow, Unmade is already making a mark.

Here’s what we cover:

  • Pleasantries and a bit of ass kissing (on my part anyway)
  • The evolution of Mumbrella
  • Building a brand
  • The role of values and the impact on output
  • The vision for unmade
  • His experience with branding, PR and SEO
  • Why people shouldn’t take themselves so seriously

As promised in the episode, here are the links to:

1 in 5 Australians will experience mental ill-health within a 12-month period. While mental ill-health can be difficult to talk about, it’s clear that we need to.

In recent years, there’s been a positive change in the way we discuss mental health and wellbeing. However, there’s still a long way to go. Negative stereotypes, myths and stigma continue to underpin conversations about mental ill-health. A shift towards safe reporting, portrayal and communication is critical to de-stigmatising mental ill-health and encouraging help-seeking behaviour.

Tune in to this episode with Dr. Elizabeth Paton, Project Lead on Everymind’s Mindframe program, and learn about improving communication skills around mental ill-health, and the importance of safe reporting and portrayal.

Language is a powerful tool that can make or break organisations, leaders, and teams. When used well, words can amount to great outcomes. When used poorly, they can have severe consequences.  

In 2015, American Cargo Ship, SS El Faro sailed into the middle of Hurricane Joaquin. In a series of tragic events, the ship sadly went down with all 33 mariners on board. It left behind a voyage data recorder documenting final conversations, and a lesson we all need to learn; words matter.

Unless you are working for a major government body or multinational corporation with deep pockets, you probably have never given multicultural communication much thought.

If you have given it thought, it’s likely you haven’t given it any budget, or activity beyond translating existing documents. With Australia being such a diverse, multicultural society – surely, we are missing a trick.

On this episode of Commical, Marie El Daghl speaks with Adrienne Meakin, a respected leader and multicultural comms expert from the Melbourne based LOTE Agency. Adrienne lays bare the reasons why multicultural comms is important and starts with two simple facts. Australia’s population has recently hit 25M, due in no small part to immigration. About 1 in 4 Australian residents were born overseas, and a great proportion originated from non-English speaking backgrounds.

We discuss campaigns that have tapped into different ethnic groups and the reasons why doing so is not just good for business, but good for society in general.

About Adrienne Meakin

Adrienne is the Managing Director of LOTE Agency, which is based in Melbourne. Responsible for the ultimate leadership and performance of LOTE, Adrienne is passionate about bringing a unique perspective to the multicultural communications space.

She believes that diversity and inclusion in the modern landscape means breaking down barriers and misconceptions about how we ‘should’ communicate with diverse audiences.

Private enterprise and the public sector have sometimes struggled to meet the challenge of communicating with these diverse groups of communities – which is where Adrienne and her business, LOTE Agency, come in.

Since 1999, LOTE Marketing has been assisting organisations across Australia from the private and public sector to bridge the gap in communications with their core constituents from non-English speaking backgrounds.

The LOTE philosophy is that effective multicultural communication is not just about translating the literal word - it’s about conveying the message.

In addition to specialised staff, LOTE’s in-house audio production and desktop publishing facilities mean they can provide efficient and effective marketing services – from basic translation to complex awareness campaigns.

Their specialities including Multicultural Marketing, Community Engagement, Marketing to Diverse Groups, Ethnic Marketing and Translation.

You might be on the front foot, you might be on the backfoot - but when you're approached for a media opportunity - you have to be prepared to put your best foot forward. That means more than just what you do on camera - how you work with your contact prior to that is also really important.

In this episode, veteran TV producer and current 60 Minutes (Channel 9) producer Darren Ally, gives us a rare insight into TV news and current affairs. We touch on a range of topics like the role of media relationships, what producers look for in a source, the process behind stories, how broadcast works today and how to stay on his good side.

What does Emotional Intelligence have to do with communication? Everything! Behind your words, facial expressions, gestures - sit emotions that you may or may not be able to control.
