Parents Who Think

Other women are not your competition. However many people work in your industry, there is only one you. My special guest this week is Debbie Gilbert, a multi-award-winning entrepreneur and author of The Successful Mumpreneur, who loves to support other business women on their journeys. We explore a range of topics related to how you can successfully grow your business through networking, a positive attitude and collaborating with other women within the same field as you.

In business, people will gravitate towards you if you're positive. But that doesn't mean you can't be honest and direct - you just have to do this with a positive attitude and the intention to help those around you succeed. Debbie advice is no nonsense and entirely focused on LIFTing women up. As she says "everyone can be successful in business given the right support and right tool to do so. Attitude is everything"

Not only does this success draw from your attitude, but also from you recognising your shortcomings and seeking help in those areas. Deep collaboration with other women is key to forging ahead and thriving as an independent businesswoman, as well as seeing the women around of thrive.

This episode is a must listen for any entrepreneurs, filled with all the guidance you need to take yourself and your business to the next level.

Do you feel like you've been hearing the same conversations about working parents for years, yet not enough has changed? This week my guest, Christine Armstrong, shares how she's on a mission to blow apart the LIES about working parents and instead dig into the truths of what actually works.

There's a false narrative that if you just work harder everything will be fine, regardless of the struggles of balancing motherhood with a career. While you may feel you're alone in these struggles, this is not the case. Yet having this conversation with other women can only take us so far. For real progress to be made we need to engage men and leadership as well. Christine discusses how we can achieve this, while also providing tips & strategies that will help you stay sane(ish) as a working parent.
