  • Chat 83: Henry: A highly pastoral and value-driven private school Head Master

    There is no doubt that Henry received a very 'privileged' education and he attended some of the best private schools in the UK. However, he soaked up every part of it. He embraced as much of it as he could, and he made as many connections as he could. He recognised mentors that were in front of him and he extracted as much as he could from each of them.


    Henry didn't take any of his education for granted and his beliefs and his approach to privilege and education are as progressive as they are pragmatic. Henry describes his school (Oakham School) as a gift for children, which he clarifies to mean that although he doesn't want any student to feel guilty about receiving it, he does expect them to feel gratitude for it and to embrace it fully; and get the most out of it, just like he did.


    Please meet Henry.

  • Chat 82: Heather: A brilliant, highly entrepreneurial event creator, producer & director...

    Heather has been working in and on events for over 25-years, and has coordinated hardcore activity for the likes of MEGA rock bands and the Olympic games... Yep, she's hardcore bad-ass.


    There's not a lot Heather hasn't seen, done and worked on in the events field, which is why although still a 'hired gun' consultant for big, global events, Heather now creates her own events, and she uses her vast experience and her contacts to bring her event ideas to fruition... And then she sells them on to other people/companies.


    Please meet Heather.

  • Chat 81: Rose: A super-passionate, female-focussed Nutritionist

    Periods, female cycles and female hormone shifts are HUGE subjects that affects girls and women of all ages, and yet it is something that STILL barely gets any airtime. Women (and girls) are still required to just put up, shut up, and suffer in silence.


    Rose firmly believes in food as medicine, and particularly, food as a super-power to support women throughout their monthly cycle, and indeed throughout their aging cycle. She also believes women's cycles can tell us so many amazing things about ourselves, if we listen to them; and if we reframe them to be an insight, rather than a menace and a chore.


    So much to unpack with Rose, and we barely even scratch the surface in this chat. 


    Please meet Rose.

  • Chat 80: Natasha: A bad-ass mechanic and 'car parts' business owner

    Not only does Natasha work at an all-female garage, as a mechanic, but she also owns and runs her own car-parts business, and is a specialist at knowing and sourcing car nuts and bolts... Which are notoriously hard to source - correctly at least. In the chat Natasha talks about how countless mechanics and garages buy and attempt to fit certain bolts, only to realise they don't fit and won't work, and then have to order some more, all while your car sits there waiting to be fixed.


    Natasha's story is awesome. She's a drop-dead gorgeous, feminine woman, living and woking in a very, VERY man's world, and she's bossing it. Yes, she gets countless comments (online especially) about how she should 'get back to the kitchen', and she gets mansplained to on an almost daily basis, but she's thriving nonetheless.


    Please meet Natasha.

  • Chat 79: Rachel: A highly experienced, transformational make-up artist

    Rachel was always really creative and she always loved the creativity surrounding make-up in particular; the transformations that can come from doing make-up well, and the joy the (before and) 'after' can bring to someone, particularly women.


    ... And particularly Chops, who used Rachel for her TWWork relaunch shoot back in October, and who couldn't believe (in a good way!) what Rachel did to her face?!


    But as Rachel says in the chat, she doesn't change anyone's face, she simply enhances it and highlights what's already there. Which is empowering in such a unique way and can be transformational for female confidence.


    Because imagine what women could do if more of them had the confidence of their male counterparts... If they had even half the confidence of their male counterparts... It would be game-changing for society as we know it.


    Please meet Rachel.

  • Chat 78: Kim: A highly experienced stockbroker and holistic wealth manager...

    Generational perceptions and prejudices surrounding money; generational expectations and societal norms passed down; and perhaps most importantly, how these thinks fundamentally shape us, our view of the world, and our career paths... Are all covered and brilliantly articulated in Kim's pod.


    Kim openly discusses the odd (even negative) relationship she had with money as a young working person, despite the exposure she went on to have with 'wealth' and indeed the daily interactions she had with people who 'have money'.


    Years later, Kim's unique approach to wealth management combines all of her extensive finance experience, with some pretty hefty holistic experience and A LOT of honest and very personal self-reflection, in order to help people (mostly women) to make the 'right' choices with their money. Not necessarily practical choices, or 'expected' choices, but the 'right' choices for each person's needs.


    Please meet Kim.

  • Chat 77: Annabel: An employment lawyer who's now a dating matchmaker

    In this chat we discuss how on earth Annabel had got into the (potential) minefield that is 'matchmaking'; plus how she's tackling what is, a global 'dating' and 'matching' problem right now.


    ... The lack of coupling (and sheer volume of sexless people) is a hot topic in some scientific circles, and even some governmental circles.


    Annabel got into this world, because over the past 15-years (since her divorce) she's tried every form of dating herself; and even though she can't seem to find her Mr Right; Annabel realised how passionate she was/is about trying to fix this dreadful problem and in doing so, help others. Plus how bloody good she is at meeting and connecting others.


    So after a drunken chat with a friend one night, circa a year ago, Norfolk Cupid was born.


    Please meet Annabel.

  • Chat 76: Jordan: An award winning HR Consultant and Chief People Officer

    Jordan and TWWork are on the same course/the same path in terms of wanting to help people in work, and giving power back to people; we're simply tackling it in different ways. Which is great, because there is no 'one solution' to the global problem we've got... The problem of just how many people are fundamentally unhappy with work, and unhappy in their jobs.


    So of course we're going to get Jordan involved in TWWork in some way, the universe has set it up thus; however, right now he's on his own start-up journey, which is two-fold: 1. Is to work with and coach senior leaders, to be MUCH better leaders, and 2. Is to give a clearer voice to workers, which Jordan can then use to further shape task 1.


    But even aside of Jordan's mission(s), his story and his hugely successful HR career journey is great and shows how attitude + aptitude has = immense altitudinal success for him. He also talks a lot about how amazing women have supported and sponsored him over his life and on his career journey, which is music to our ears!


    Please meet Jordan.

  • Break Room 8: Lexie & Chops: The world is energetically shifting, so what do we do about that?

    A slightly left-field Break Room chat for you this week... To attempt a discussion about a bigger picture that's affecting us all... And yes, done in an alternative, 'woo-woo' kind of way ;-)


    We know lots of people won't like this Break Room chat, and that's totally ok. Truly.


    ... Perhaps they can't feel the energetic shift going on. Perhaps they're not looking at everything in the news and questioning it at a deeper level. Or if they can/do, perhaps they're choosing to ignore how they really feel about it; which is absolutely fair and ok to do so.


    There is no right and wrong, and we're all just doing the best we can with the world and the circumstances we're living in.


    Lexie, however, believes she's on a path to help and heal, and in her own words, play her part in the change that's unfolding in the world. And she's using her knowledge and experience as a Priestess Astrologer to do that.


    So if you're happy to, please take a listen to some woo-woo waffle, and please meet Lexie.

  • Chat 75: Gemma: A highly experienced and highly respected TV & media producer

    The variety of Gemma's work; the creativity of it, the pace of it, the sense of achievement from it... And yes, the glamorous side of media production, will no doubt be fascinating to lot of you. Although, as Gemma mentions, it's FAR LESS glamorous than people think.


    However, getting 'into' media production, or any similar 'behind the scenes' role in media, has always been, and still seems to remain to be, a big mystery. But as Gemma says, it doesn't need to be; and in the chat she offers up some great advice for what people can do/what routes in they can take.


    What's extra great about Gemma's chat, is that she really emphasises the hard work and graft that has gone into getting where she is now. She had a 'can do' attitude from the start, which even at the top of the chain she still maintains; and as such her career has flown. But most importantly, she BLOODY loves what she does.


    Please meet Gemma.
