September 19, 2024 Pilar Sifas Obiol - How to advocate for yourself
On this episode we have a great podcast guest talking about how to get your needs met in a workplace.

Pilar Sifas Obiol specialises in coaching in the workplace with a holistic view, as every aspect of our life has an influence on how we behave at work. She uses her workshops and her one-to-one sessions to help people to figure out why they are stuck in a situation they don’t want to be in, where the stagnation comes from and what they can do to overcome this situation and achieve their goals towards the life they want.
This may seem unthinkable for some, but she believes in people. Pilar believes we all have the potential to achieve anything we want as long as we are realistic, honest with ourselves and open to take action - and with her coaching skills she makes sure that her clients become aware of this potential and use it to their benefit.

So "Hit the gas and be your best self by 2025" , you can reach Pilar here:

With 20 years’ experience as a Senior HR Business Partner and a Coach, working closely with, advising and challenging senior teams to build an engaged and inclusive culture where staff can thrive and perform to their highest level, Jeanette translates her own experience into useful advice for other senior managers to help them to build a sustainable, and resilient workforce that respects diversity and harnesses the power of difference at every employee’s life stage.

April 04, 2024 Grace Hardy - Female Financial Health
Our health gets affected by many aspects of our environment. The most impactful of them all is stress. Stress caused by financial difficulties and lack of financial security takes a very large chunk of the stress pie.
In our society, women are more likely to lack knowledge of the world of finances at the point of reaching adulthood, are more likely to end up in debt due to lack of financial education and less likely to have a grip on their pensions or investment funds. All that can have a very negative impact on women’s mental and physical health and it is therefore crucial to our wellbeing to look after our financial health too.
If you are not sure where to start getting your finances sorted, Grace Hardy might just be the one to help you to get out of the woods.
Grace Hardy is the founder of Hardy Accounting. She is a dedicated and experienced professional passionate about helping individuals and businesses achieve their financial goals and understand more about finance along the way. Her services range from personal financial planning to business accounting and tax compliance. You can find Grace on TikTok and the links below:

March 28, 2024 Carmen Contreias - Sickle Cell Disease
This week we are looking at a condition that is familiar yet still an unknown to most people unless they are personally affected by it. Sickle cell disease is invisible to the naked eye yet it has profound effect on people who have it.
Sickle cell disorder, also known as sickle cell disease, is a genetic condition that affects the red blood cells in the body. It is characterized by the presence of abnormal hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.
Carmen Contreias has been born with Sickle cell and over the years learned how to manage it successfully. Once she joined FB Sickle cell support groups, she realised that people keep looking to her for advice and so she dedicates some of her spare time to offer guidance to people with SC especially parents of children with SC as Carmen also has a daughter with SC. All this led to. Carmen joining a NHS working group that is focused on educating people on how to manage SC, especially in Africa, where the research and education has not yet caught up with UK and US. For more information on sickle cell and to learn where you can find support see https://www.sicklecellsociety.org/about-sickle-cell/
