𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞!

I had the absolute pleasure of joining Dionne Payn (PhD) on the 𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘌𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯 podcast, and let me tell you—this woman is a force for good.

Dionne isn’t just talking about financial empowerment for women; she’s actively reshaping the landscape. As the CEO of 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥, she’s on a mission to create real, lasting impact—leveraging ethical investments to empower women and girls, drive social change, and build a more equitable future. Her work is not just inspiring; it’s transformational. I do love a woman who makes stuff happen!

So, when she invited me to discuss the realities of workplace communication, and the 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐲 that women still face, I knew this would be a conversation worth having.

We unpacked:

Why women are often penalised for the same leadership traits men are praised for.
How to navigate gender bias in communication—𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭.
Practical strategies to 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐨𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞.
Why raising the next generation beyond traditional gender norms is 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲.

As you can see, we covered a lot of ground!
