GROWTH Schema: Recent Episodes

GROWTH Schema is the show where we talk about personal growth. Particularly, we focus on the topics of leadership and team management đđ„
In this episode of the GROWTH Schema podcast, I sit down with Emanuel Zammit, Director of Recruitment Services & Business Consultancy at GCS Malta, for a candid conversation about the realities of recruitment, talent acquisition, and professional growth.
Together, we unpack some of the most common misconceptions surrounding recruitment and headhunting, exploring what really happens behind the scenes and why great recruitment is about much more than matching candidates to vacancies. Emanuel shares insights from years of working with clients and candidates across different industries, shedding light on the challenges, responsibilities, and value that recruitment professionals bring to the table.
We also discuss what it means to operate as a service provider, building trust, managing expectations, and creating long-term relationships in a people-driven profession. Along the way, we reflect on the importance of humility, the lessons that come from setbacks, and the difference between choosing to stay humble and being humbled by life's experiences.
This is a conversation about people, careers, service, and the mindset required to succeed in a profession built on relationships.

Throughout the discussion, ethics emerges as a central theme, challenging us to think more deeply about responsibility, professionalism, and what it means to genuinely put people first.

Keith shares his journey from scientist to entrepreneur, reflecting on the failures, lessons, and sacrifices that often sit behind meaningful achievement.

Throughout the conversation, Keith offers insights into the mindset required to tackle difficult problems, challenge assumptions, and keep moving forward when progress is slow and uncertainty is high.

In this episode of the GROWTH Schema podcast, I sit down with Mark Camilleri Gambin, CEO of Talexio, for a conversation that blends technology, imagination, and personal growth. We explore how gaming and fantasy worlds, often seen as escapism, can actually serve as tools for reflection, resilience, and navigating real-life challenges.

Beyond this, we dive into more personal territory, touching on loss, perspective, and the journey of stepping into leadership. Mark reflects on his path to becoming CEO of Talexio, and what it means to lead a product-driven company in a fast-evolving digital landscape.
This episode is a reminder that growth doesnât always come from the obvious places, sometimes it comes from the worlds we explore, the stories we engage with, and the parts of ourselves we choose not to outgrow.

In this episode of the GROWTH Schema podcast, I sit down with Matthew Camilleri, physiotherapist and founder of Rise, for a grounded conversation on the role of physical work in shaping both the body and the mind.

Matthew shares his perspective on why exposure to physical challenge matters, how consistency beats intensity over time, and what team sports can teach us about accountability, connection, and growth. We also unpack how the habits we build through movement often mirror how we approach life, from dealing with discomfort to staying committed when progress feels slow.

We explore the difference between an abundance and scarcity mindset, and how this quietly shapes the way we sell, position ourselves, and make decisions. Katya breaks down a common mistake many professionals make, selling what they think people need, rather than understanding what clients actually want, and shares a more grounded, strategic approach to building demand and trust.
We also dive into her journey into entrepreneurship, what it takes to build a reputation that opens doors, and how personal branding is no longer optional in a world driven by attention and digital presence.

In this roundtable episode of the GROWTH Schema podcast, recorded in collaboration with FHRD and hosted at KonnektTalexio, we bring together Ediana Guillaumier, Matthew Bartolo, and Karl Grech for a grounded, thought-provoking conversation on what effective leadership really looks like today. Together, we explore self-awareness through the Johari Window, the role of psychological safety in building trust and unlocking ideas, and why leaders sometimes need to speak last to allow better thinking to emerge. The discussion moves into coaching versus mentoring, employee transparency, and how leadership lessons often mirror parenting, particularly when it comes to empowering others to solve problems rather than stepping in too quickly. We also reflect on leading across generations, inclusion, and the everyday behaviours that shape cultures where people feel safe, heard, and able to grow. This episode is an invitation to rethink leadership as a shared, human responsibility rather than a position of authority.
