Authentic Living

Quote: “We cannot continue to force change through a firehose; people are choking. It is truly time to stop and consider what specifically do we want to change and what is the priority?” Dr. Loubna Noureddin

We have all experienced so much change in the last few years due to the pandemic. We have been in a fairly constant state of flux and have had to learn how to adapt pretty quickly to whatever was happening at the time. Now that many have or are moving toward returning to work in person, we’re again in that state of change. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Loubna Noureddin to share her unique perspective on change and offer tips on how leaders can make it less stressful and transition more successfully when necessary.

This was such a great interview packed with so much interesting information about workplace conflict that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Be sure to tune in again next week for part II.

Loubna is a leadership scholar, orphans advocate, civil war survivor, and co-founder of Mind Market Consultants, a resource and coaching centre for organizations and start-ups prioritizing cultures of brilliance over systems of unnecessary change and chaos.

Quote: “The question that you just have to ask yourself is not…do I need or do I want rituals at my workplace? It’s, do I want good effective rituals that work for me and my vision?” Ezra Bookman

Exactly what is a ritual, and how do they affect our lives? Some of the most recognizable rituals are marriages, funerals, graduations, coronations and presidential inaugurations, oaths of allegiance, dedication ceremonies, etc. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome ritual expert Ezra Bookman to share the benefits of rituals in the workplace and how they can help to improve morale & create a more connected community.

Gender equality works to advance equality with respect to sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity or expression through the inclusion of people of all genders; today we're focusing on women and their rights.

Quote: “There’s really a need to invest in the empowerment of women underground. Whether it’s economically, socially, culturally, it has to be a package.” Tacko Ndiaye

The Women’s Equality Movement started almost 200 years now. Every decade has had more and more women speaking up and speaking out in an attempt to create a more equitable world for women and girls around the globe. Women’s rights are human rights! These include the right to live free from violence and discrimination; to enjoy the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health; to be educated; to own property; to vote; and to earn an equal wage. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we’re privileged to have Tacko Ndiaye join us to talk about her book Women and share her experience of more than 25 years fighting for women everywhere.

This was such a great interview packed with so much inspirational information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Here’s the link to Part 1: https://roxannederhodge.com/gender-equality-with-tacko-ndiaye/

Tacko is a Gender Team Leader at Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and is based at FAO Headquarters in Rome. She has extensive experience working with governments, national women's groups, bilateral and multilateral organizations, women's networks, civil society, and parliamentarians to advance gender mainstreaming and women's rights in policies, programmes, budgets, institutions, and statistics. Her book, WOMEN, is a powerful visual representation of the journey that women travel. It combines aesthetic beauty, symbols, and visual metaphors to trigger emotions and responses to enduring gender inequalities in all areas of life. WOMEN enriches Tacko’s way of working to initiate action, based on her 25 years of empowering women and girls worldwide. It is her simple, or not-so-simple, way to try something new in being a voice for change.

Quote: “Often managers or board members…we’re all trained in our technical abilities. Often it’s technical people that become promoted to managerial or board member roles. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re great communicators or great facilitators. These are specialist skills.” Avinder Laroya

We have all experienced conflict at some point in our lives, whether it was at work, at home or with a friend. When we’re in that space, we often think with emotion rather than logic, and things can easily escalate to become a much larger issue. When this happens in the workplace, we may need some help to work through the issue(s). On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Avinder Laroya all the way from Switzerland to share her expertise about mediating conflict in the workplace and how it affects the ROR.

Quote: “88% of adult Americans are considered metabolically unhealthy. Those are shocking statistics, and it’s increasing.” Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum

Functional medicine is a more patient-centred approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying the cause of the disease and not just treating symptoms with pharmaceuticals. It looks at the patient’s history and gathers information to try to find the underlying cause of the illness. Functional medicine is, thankfully, becoming much more mainstream. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum to share her experience and thoughts on why functional medicine is a better solution for combating chronic disease and lowering healthcare costs.
