Lady Leadership - Careers and Business For Women

This week I got to catch up with the very formidable and very personable - Suz Steele. Suz has been the running Adode ANZ for the past 3 years and says that she has hit her sweet spot at Adobe! They  are true innovators, like being a 40 year old startup and Suz absolutely loves her job!

We talk about Digital transformation and how this has been affected by COVID. Suz believes that Digital has progressed ten years in the past 6 months. Have a listen to how Suz and the team at Adobe didn't just replicate their previous office days and meetings at Adobe but rather they reset, reviewed and adapted how they meet and when to get the greatest impact. Plus we also discussed Suz's amazing career and what has been the biggest help to Suz in her career. 

We also talked about how Adobe supports women and diversity - you are going to be really impressed! Adobe have reached pay parity globally which is incredible plus we are also going to talk about 'Opportunity parity'. I think that you are going to love this concept and you are going to love this interview.

Cheers Sam.

In this weeks episode of the Lady leadership I am talking about why you should have a coach! 

I have recently been working with a horse riding coach myself and have realised why more than ever if you want to move forward in any area of life you should find and work with a coach. My horse riding coach has helped me immensely. I share my 5 top reasons why you should have a coach. 

I cover:

- They will help you clarify your vision and your goals. 
- You will be able to leverage their learnings and knowledge. 
- They will get you to think differently and see your blockers. 
- They will help your develop momentum and stay on track and keep you accountable. 

Plus 

- They will help you navigate difficult times and give you advise. 

Fundamentally they will have your back and help you reach your goals and dreams and it will be so good when you get there!

I got to catch up with Sheree Rubenstein this week on the Lady Leadership podcast!

I couldn't pronounce Sheree's name right to start with (even though I have know Sheree for years!), we had some drilling in the background and I forgot the questions I was supposed to be asking! But Sheree was a pro and shared such great insights into being an entrepreneur and also starting a startup! 

We talked about One Roof pivoting during the Pandemic, we shared how we how we are keeping balanced during the pandemic plus having resilience, we talked about starting startups, testing an idea, building a 'real' network around you plus we then talked about how companies and corporates can do a better job at hiring and supporting women. 

Plus the juggle of being an entrepreneur and becoming a new mum! And how Sheree learns both through others and through her own by doing! Plus gaining confidence in tech! And asking for help! 

Such a great chat!

This week on the Lady Leadership podcast I caught up with Fatima Said. Fatima is the owner and founder of a Global Digital agency called Ewave. Ewave has ecommerce at it's core and is based in Australia, Asia and Europe employing 270 people world wide.  Ewave work with some of the biggest brands in the world such as Ripcurl, Coca-Cola, Canon and Sportsgirl to name a few. 

Fatima is such an inspiration to all and we talk about how Fatima got started in business, from starting her first global business with her brothers at the age of 16 whilst stil at school to now running a super successful ecommerce business - Ewave. 

We talked about mindset, self limiting beliefs, being in control and setting really big goals and going after them and figuring out what you need to learn as you go.  We discus the changing job of being an entrepreneur - trial and error and the ongoing learning to transform your business to the next stage. We also talk about running a global business and hiring a team plus learning to let go and hand off to others. Plus we also discussed working on the business versus in the business. 

We also talked about how companies get together and that work is changing and being outcome focused rather than time focused and how to mentor and support your team. 

Plus what inspires Fatima and how she learns. 

Fatima is so humble and tenacious and super super smart. You are going to love this interview with Fatima. Check it out.

What would you do if you woke up one morning and your business had to pivot entirely!

As the Customer Experience Officer for Fed Square this is exactly what Suzana and her team faced!

Have a listen to the interview where Suzana shares exactly what Fed Square did, how they did it and how they managed and inspired the team through this crises. Plus what they are thinking for next year and how they are planning.

I also talk to Suzana about how a Brazilian native found herself in Melbourne Australia! We talk about Suzana's love of creating an event and what I most loved about this chat is how Suzana has approached her career to grow it into what it is today. She has focused on 'what is the gap' and also focused on developing new skills she needs to fill that gap. We also discussed how not knowing anyone in Melbourne she has built such a fantastic career. Suzana has a lot to be proud of!

I think you will love this chat with Suzana!

This week on the Lady Leadership podcast I catch up with Gabrielle Dolan who is a speaker, an author but more importantly an expert in Storytelling.

Gabrielle had a very successful corporate career working in Leadership and Change Management when she accidentally became a storyteller. As someone who worked for a big bank she noticed that the really good presenters shared stories. As someone who had always told a good story this resonated with her and she wanted to develop the idea that story telling could be a better way to communicate.

She decided that she wanted to create her own business and create a process and a methodology to tell stories.

We talk about what makes a good story and how to tell it, we discuss how Gabrielle run's her business through the mantra of Think, Sell and Deliver and we even dive into writing books.

I think you are really going to enjoy this podcast!
