Female Inner Power

What actions are you just longing to take?

When we’re deep in our masculine energy we tend to focus on just taking action.

But it matters who we are being while we take that action.

It matters how we show up.

So how can we show up as who we truly want to be?

In this episode I show you how you can change your energy, be present in the moment and start from a place that feels true and grounded – by setting your intentions, moving out of self doubt, and aligning your beliefs in a more helpful way.

It’s time to…

Get clear

Get grounded

Get intentional

Because when you bring the masculine and the feminine parts of yourself together you take all the structure, action taking and linear steps… and add magic and flow, so you can show up as the powerful woman that you are.

Nicola Payne began her impressive and varied career in retail and HR at just 12 years old – and got her first promotion and pay rise a year later. 

By 22, she was managing 80 employees at ASDA in her first graduate role, and later on a 12-year period at VISA culminated in the role of HR Director, in charge of all aspects of operational HR from hiring (and firing!) to business partnership and major change projects.

She now blends all that expertise in her role as Executive Coach and Mentor specialising in mid-career strategy and support.

In this conversation Nicola shares her insights and experiences around:

• Resilience, ambition and having a strong work ethic
• Learning how to have difficult conversations (including firing people in a compassionate way)
• Navigating office and corporate politics as a woman with a strong moral compass
• How she was able to take off the mask of ‘professionalism’ and step into her true power and grounded energy as a woman in the corporate world

She also shares her invaluable tips on how to successfully negotiate for pay rises, promotions and development.

Kanu Nusser is the Group CFO at Global Savings Group, an affiliate marketing company – in her own words, her ‘dream job’. She grew up in an army family, moving around a lot, and as an adult spent time in Berlin, before relocating to Munich for work. 

After finding herself close to 40 with no partner, Kanu made the decision to become a solo parent, while continuing with her successful career. She says that for her, it’s about having everything that matters to you – and it never occurred to her to choose.

In this conversation Kanu shares her experiences and thoughts on…

• Being decisive – without overthinking or regret
• The importance of getting out of your comfort zone
• Being a working solo parent
• Finding harmony and balance in life and work, and getting back on track when we feel insecure
• The role of women in teams

…and her fascinating take on the real power dynamic between women and men at work.

Are you asking for too little? Setting limitations on your dreams? Putting yourself and your needs last? It's not always easy to know what we want or what’s possible, and sometimes we limit ourselves with self-imposed restrictions. 

In this solo episode of Female Inner Power, I dive into three mindset shifts that will empower you to have success on your own terms. 

I share my insights on tuning into your desires, negotiating and dreaming big to create a life that makes your heart dance, and the importance of prioritising your own mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. We’ll also explore the possibility of choosing to believe that the different things that you want and need can coexist.

It’s time to expand your vision of what you believe is possible, and achieve true success on your terms from your Female Inner Power. Because magic happens when you are tuned in to the very best of you. 

"Again and again, we hear how as women we ask for too little. It's so fascinating to me how reluctant we are to dream big and ask for big things. Tuning into what we want is actually not that easy, but it's something I would recommend you do a lot. If we're not willing to dare to look beyond this limiting scale we're creating for ourselves, how big do we allow ourselves to live? If you could have what you wanted, what would you want? You know playing with this question of ‘What do I really, really, really want’ is incredibly powerful. If you want success on your terms, you’ve got to tune in regularly, and course correct."

Nanna Bülow Mertz has enjoyed a highly successful career in the financial sector – something she didn’t expect as a creative young person with an interest in architecture. She started out as a Student Assistant at Danish investment bank Saxo Bank, and quickly found that the work ‘was fun and felt right’. Her first full time position saw her working under a visionary female boss, who set her on the path to successfully navigating a male-dominated environment, while staying in her feminine energy.

Since then Nanna has held leadership positions including Global Head of Onboarding at Saxo Bank, leading a team of 500, and her current role as Head of Customer Operations at Pleo.

In this conversation Nanna shares:

• Her experiences of working in male-dominated environments – and how she’s navigated crying at work
• Why she’s learned to honour her intuition in the workplace
• How she’s found trying to balance career and parenthood amid structural inequalities
• Her observations about women demanding too little at work – and her advice on how we can value ourselves more highly and ask for more.

Describing herself as ‘a true extrovert’ and always willing to explore new places, people and ideas, she became the first in her medical family to go to business school.

Do we need to stop ‘being so emotional’ at work?

Can we be strong and credible female leaders if we show a lot of emotion?

I’ve coached countless women who’ve been told (by a man) to be less emotional. And we see this so much in the media and in so many political debates. 

But what does it even mean to be ‘too emotional’?

In this episode I unpack the four levels of feelings, and explore why it’s time to change the tide that showing emotion is bad for business – and why allowing ourselves to feel our feelings strongly actually improves our leadership.

Jane Sassienie is a Director of Bridge Partnership, a global consultancy that helps evolve leaders and organisations to be a force for good in the world. Bridge’s recently published research paper, ‘How did she get there’, looks at what organisations can learn from women in senior roles who are succeeding – without changing themselves to fit the prevailing paradigm.

Jane has an unusual combination of training in fine art, psychology and psychotherapy, an interest in human systems, organisational constellations and systems theory that give her unique insights into what is going on in a business culture and how to shift it.

In addition to her role at Bridge, she is a founding member of the Bridge Institute, bringing together governments, NGOs and business leaders to try and solve some of the world's biggest crises.

In this conversation Jane shares her thoughts and knowledge about: 

• How the female narrative has been shaped – and distorted – by history
• What true leadership should look like
• Why some women are choosing not to lead
• How women lead naturally – and how we can become leaders without changing ourselves or becoming ‘honorary men’
• What needs to change to facilitate more women becoming leaders

… and she shares the five main findings of Bridge’s How Did She Get There research which reveals qualities shared by successful women leading on their own terms.

Mialy Dermish is Executive Director at SIRIUS Policy Network for Migrant Education, an NGO that works towards helping pupils from migrant and refugee backgrounds achieve the same educational standards as their native peers.

The joy and passion she finds in her work and mission is infectious and she shares how the personal development work she has done has strengthened her to believe she can do almost anything. She talks about the importance of not being afraid of our inner darkness and what she has learned from doing that kind of deeper work. 

In this conversation Mialy also shares her thoughts and experience about:

• Honouring our needs and desires, knowing what’s truly important and what isn’t
• The importance of giving people an environment where they can fail and learn, and meet others’ needs
• Mental health, stress management and dealing with burnout, and what good self care really looks like
• Not being afraid of working through painful feelings
• Learning how to pivot when things aren’t working

… and the importance of female sisterhood and mentorship, and how women can support and empower each other to rise and shine together.
