Foundation Stage

A Matter of Culture

Reem M M Osman and Sula Al Naqeeb co-host A Matter of Culture, honest conversations on workplace culture, leadership, and the future of people at work.

Reem M M Osman and Sula Al Naqeeb co-host A Matter of Culture together, the podcast for leaders who know that culture isn't a HR initiative, it's the foundation everything else is built on. Each episode cuts through the noise to explore what it really takes to build workplaces where people thrive.

Season One tackles the conversations most organisations avoid, from the true cost of toxic culture and the silence around mental health at work, to the hidden power of psychological safety, the language of recognition, and what it means to lead with intention. Raw, honest, and deeply practical.
