I had an honest and energising chat with Kate Russell on The Huddle Leadership Podcast about the ways gender bias quietly persists in our workplaces—and what we can actually do about it. Tune in here.

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!
I had the pleasure of joining Helga Svendsen’s podcast to dive into one of my favorite topics: Influence with Impact.
In the boardroom (or anywhere, really), influence isn’t just about making noise—it’s about understanding who’s 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 alike—because sometimes, influence has to happen without the power of a title. It’s all about those informal, meaningful connections that really move the needle.
Let’s talk about team communication.
It’s not enough THAT we talk to each other, it’s 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.
It’s 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 won’t make you an expert, but 10,000 hours that is constantly reviewed, refine and adjusted, definitely will.
Ed Frauenheim's insights about masculinity during our Spotlighting Success Webinar, really resonated with the work I do in gender equality. Women AND men are all limited by the stereotypes that dictate our cultural norms in society. Women as ‘nice’ and emotional care takers and home makers and men as ‘strong’ and stoic bread winners and financial providers.
