QUIETLY CRACKING with Dr Michelle McQuaid

September 30, 2025

What does it take to create lasting, strengths-based change? 


Today’s guest, Dr Michelle McQuaid unpacks the science of wellbeing and why leaders need to make it a priority now. Dr. Michelle is a globally sought-after leadership and wellbeing expert who’s worked with everyone from Deloitte and IBM to the Dubai Government and Harley Davidson. She has a gift for turning cutting-edge research into simple, practical strategies that help people thrive at work and in life.


I’ve brought Michelle on today to talk about a research piece that has just been released revealing what’s called a ‘Quiet Cracking phenomenon’. Not a term I’d heard of before, but, you recognise the feeling of holding it all together on the outside, but on the inside feeling like you're falling apart? That's quiet cracking. Let’s learn more about it..
