I had an honest and energising chat with Kate Russell on The Huddle Leadership Podcast about the ways gender bias quietly persists in our workplacesโand what we can actually do about it. Tune in here.
Financially Empowered Women - Beyond the Glass Ceiling: Navigating Gender Bias in Workplace Communication
I had the absolute pleasure of joining Dionne Payn (PhD) on the ๐๐ช๐ฏ๐ข๐ฏ๐ค๐ช๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ ๐๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ podcast, and let me tell youโthis woman is a force for good.
Dionne isnโt just talking about financial empowerment for women; sheโs actively reshaping the landscape. As the CEO of ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐๐ญ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐๐๐ฅ, sheโs on a mission to create real, lasting impactโleveraging ethical investments to empower women and girls, drive social change, and build a more equitable future. Her work is not just inspiring; itโs transformational. I do love a woman who makes stuff happen!
Key to Influence People - Take on Board Podcast with Helga Svendsen
I had the pleasure of joining Helga Svendsenโs podcast to dive into one of my favorite topics: Influence with Impact.
In the boardroom (or anywhere, really), influence isnโt just about making noiseโitโs about understanding whoโs in the room, what matters to them, and why. As I like to say, influence is just good communication on steroids!
In our chat we covered the subtle yet powerful art of connecting with decision-makers and peers alikeโbecause sometimes, influence has to happen without the power of a title. Itโs all about those informal, meaningful connections that really move the needle.
Connect with Confidence Podcast - Building Stronger Communication Within Your Team
Letโs talk about team communication.
Itโs not enough THAT we talk to each other, itโs also HOW we talk to each other that counts. And to get better at that we need to reflect, review and refine the process of our discussions, not just the content of them.
Itโs like trying to get better at piano by playing for 10,000 hours without review or adjustment. The 10,000 hours of playing bad piano wonโt make you an expert, but 10,000 hours that is constantly reviewed, refine and adjusted, definitely will.
Cuppa TV - Silent Voices
Hey everyone, I recently had a chat with Luke Cook on Cuppa TV that I think you'll find interestingโฆ if communication is of interest to you!
We talked about ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐๐ and ๐๐ง๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ญ๐๐๐ฆ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ค ๐ฎ๐ฉ. We explored the hidden costs of those unspoken barriers that often go unnoticed..and there are many.
"๐๐ช๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต ๐๐ฐ๐ช๐ค๐ฆ๐ด" is a conversation aimed at leaders who want to make a change. It's about breaking free from conformity and harnessing the power of genuine dialogue in the workplace.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion - Future Learning Series Podcast
What happens when you put four passionate people in a room together talking about diversity? Magic! Thatโs what happens. ๐ And not just because we all come from different backgrounds, but because our lenses into inclusion in the workplace are also so diverse. From Simon Dewar, Group CEO of BSI Digital Learning, to Kala Philips, CEO of BSI Learning institute and Nola Turner-Jensen, a Senior Aboriginal Research Fellow at Melbourne Uni to myself, Author of the Gender Penalty and When men lead women. The clip is my take on the importance of DEI from an interpersonal perspectiveโฆ and itโs not just DEI as it stands today; itโs the outcome or goal of DEI - ๐๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ . Diversity without understanding is just difference. Itโs disruptive. But diversity with understanding is transformative. It creates belonging.
Biggest Challenge Women are Facing Today
The Board Success Podcast - How to have influence in the boardroom
So you think you don't have influence? Think again.
This clip covers one of my favourite takes on the reality of influence: We all have it. Sometimes, we even unconsciously influence people in the wrong direction, without knowing it. But influencing people against our own agendas is not the same as being without influence. It just feels like it is...
