Olivia Wensley made headlines last year when she became a “whistle blower” on the endemic sexual harassment in the legal industry. Olivia shared a blog post calling out sexual harassment in the legal profession as being part of the norm. Her post – We Need to Talk About Law’s Dirty Little Secret – went viral. Since then, Olivia has been an active advocate against sexual harassment and bullying in the workplace. 

We talk to Olivia about: 

* What prompted her to write the article – a vent in response to a media report about sexual harassment  * The reaction Olivia received to her raw, real and honest account – she had no idea that she’d end up in a firestorm of media interviews! * Where the #metoo movement has brought us and whether it is still having a positive impact * Shifting the responsibility from women speaking up to requiring businesses to take a more proactive, investigative role * The need to call out low-level behaviour and set a culture from top-down by encouraging others to call out inappropriate behaviour rather than just letting things pass * By being silent you are condoning inappropriate behaviour. We are all responsible for calling it out * A change of pace – how Olivia manages the juggle working remotely and with her own small children  * Growing from adversity – “smooth seas never made a skilled sailor”
