Episode four of Boardroom Hustle is a powerful one. My guest today is an old friend, Claire Maloney. Founder and director of The Bravery, chairperson of the charity One Girl, proud feminist and advocate for total diversity, Claire is relentless in standing up for the things she’s passionate about. In today’s episode, we discuss those passions, and how they’ve driven her to succeed.

 

In the show, Claire and Paul Smith have an insightfully philosophical conversation about a variety of things such as the journey that led Claire to where she is today, the importance of knowing when to shut up and listen, what makes her tick and what she considers the most valuable thing in the world – and how you can make the most of yours.

 

We also get into the following:

• Fear, courage, sustainability and social causes
• What Claire is feeling most vulnerable about right now
• How the boardroom can act as a conduit for social change and positive impact
• Confidence, privilege and coping without a safety net
• Where Claire’s business, The Bravery, is planning to go in the near future
• The high emotions that come from being face-to-face with confronting issues, and how to handle them
• Avoiding business burn-out and keeping a strong sense of purpose
• How to de-stress quickly and effectively
• Refining your passions down into a successful career path
• Claire’s love of crisis management and how that’s been beneficial in her board career
• Being real, honest and (in Claire’s words) owning your shit
