"Sadly, this is what we are seeing in young girls and children today - a complete dependence on external validation and affirmation."
Jane Dutton was in conversation with human potential and parenting expert, Nikki Bush.
Would your daughter rather be hot than smart? If she does, it's probably because the first comment she hears when she meets people concern her looks, her hair and what she is wearing. Let's not forget the social media generation is all about posting the perfect look and getting likes and follows because of it.
Can it be another way? This has been my most thought-provoking question of the year and it has yielded interesting answers. It’s so easy to get trapped in your own corner of the world, the way you see things, and sometimes that can be unbelievably limiting. This thought is key to my podcast conversation around diversity, inclusion and equality.
Leveraging difference is a critical key in building a strong business today. Every member of a team brings uniqueness in some form or another. How are you harnessing and leveraging difference and overcoming unconscious bias (we all have it).
In this Win @ Work and Life podcast episode I chat to Dharshni Padaychee, Transformation, Inclusion and Equality Lead at Rand Merchant Bank. I have worked with Dharshni and her team over a number of years and I always keep a look out for her posts on LinkedIn which showcase so much innovation in the diversity, inclusion and equality space. You will hear from the conversation, how passionate Dharshni is about her field and why she chose to shift her focus from accountancy to people.
When you become a parent in the workplace there's a lot of fear and stigma around what will this mean for your career and for your progress, especially for women. "Will I be able to continue to do my job? Will I be overlooked for promotions? What will happen to my career aspirations? Will I be a good enough parent? How can I do it all and still stay sane?" These are just some of the questions that come to mind.
"Why is anyone the richer for even 30 seconds spent with me?" This simple and thought-provoking question will help you define the value you add to other people's lives and comes from my podcast guest and leadership expert, Steve Hall, who is often described as a deep thinker and inspirational storyteller.
A few quotes from Steve Hall:
Three great pieces of advice for anyone leading others from our podcast guest, Juliette Jenner, today:
Juliette Jenner is a coach, speaker, actress and founder of The Dynamic Voice Company. She is way more than a physical voice coach, she is a weaver of personal and professional development magic.
She’s warm. She’s funny. She’s genuine. And she loves sloths for some reason known only to her. Join me for this podcast episode as I chat with Yael Geffen about the link between embracing and managing mental health issues and authentic leadership. She has dealt with suicide and loss as well as bipolar disorder.
Picture this: It’s 1997, I am dancing like no one’s watching on top of a table, and I feel someone pulling my jeans to grab my attention. I look down, and it was the queen bee of all Marketing Managers, my heart stopped as I came down from the table, and she says to me with a puzzled look on her face, “Why are you not this vibrant person at work?”
Want to know how to create sustainable advancement of women instead of just paying lip service the women empowerment conversation? This is as far from ‘woe is me, I am a victim of gender bias’ as you can get.
Beyond activism, there are some really amazing shifts taking place, particularly in Africa. In fact Colleen is on a mission to make this content the gender hub for the world. “We have amazing stories to share. Let’s export them rather than importing them!”
Killing Caroline and Mad, Bad Love are the provocative book titles that track the life journey of my podcast guest, Sara-Jayne Makwala King. She’s an ward-winning radio presenter, best-selling author, journalist and public speaker.
Want some inspiration from a 'can do' woman? Armed with just R1 000 in her pocket, a laptop and a cellphone, and sitting on her bedroom floor, Farah Fortune famously started African Star Communications in 2008.
