  • Do Women Need to 'Think Like a Lady and Act Like a Man' to Succeed?

    This week our hosts Leah and Black Talent Awards founder Denise are joined by Anita Bhalla OBE and Grace Haynes. We're tackling the urban legend that women need to "think like a lady and act like a man" to succeed in their professional lives. Is it true? Is it fair? Our hosts and guests share their experiences and opinions on the matter. From navigating sexism and double standards to owning their femininity and breaking down gender stereotypes, they discuss what it means to be a successful woman in the workplace today. Join us for a candid conversation about gender, power, and identity in the modern world of work.

  • Connections or Competence: What Matters More for Career Success?

    In this episode our hosts Tiana and Sheryl are joined by guests Siji Onabanjo, Linda Begnor and Rob Berkeley to delve into the question of whether it's really "who you know" or "what you know" that matters most when it comes to making it in your career. Young people trying to navigate the job market are constantly bombarded with advice about networking, building relationships, and leveraging connections. But does that mean that your skills and talents don't matter as much? Is it really possible to make it based on social capital alone, or is that just a myth perpetuated by those in positions of power? Tune in as we share our own experiences, talk to experts in the field, and explore the nuances of this complex issue.

  • Why We're Not Here for Settling: The Truth About Ambition and Expectations in Our Careers

    Join our hosts Renee and Alisa as they interview guests Jasmine Momoh, Tamina Greaves and Kishma Bolaji about the pervasive idea that young people from certain backgrounds should lower their career expectations. From a young age, we're often told that the odds are stacked against us and that we should be content with whatever we can get. But why should we settle for less when we know we're capable of more? We'll be discussing the harmful effects of this mentality, and sharing stories of how we've overcome societal barriers to achieve our dreams. Tune in as we challenge the status quo and remind ourselves that there ain't no ceiling too high.

    Our hosts Leah and Sheryl are joined by guests David Mcqueen, Richard Loftus and Eric Sterling to debate the age-old question: Is 30 too old to switch careers? We've all heard the phrase "You can't teach an old dog new tricks," but is that really true when it comes to our careers? Our guests share their personal stories of making career changes in their 30s and how they navigated the challenges and uncertainties that came with it. Tune in to hear their advice on how to make a successful career transition in your 30s and why age should never hold you back from pursuing your dreams.
