Today I want to talk about a pain point that many women experience in business, and it is the challenge of speaking with senior leaders. Now, as a women's career expert and executive coach, I hear from women all the time that it is important to them to do this well, but they lack the confidence and capability in their application. They know that their meetings, their interactions with senior leaders represents a great development opportunity for them. It's great visibility, all of those things, but they're not sure how to make a great impression when speaking with those senior leaders. 

So if you relate to that in any possible way and you want to just build some credibility and confidence with senior stakeholders, then this episode is for you. I'm going to share four insights that I think are very practical, something you can go and do and work on immediately, that will help you impress senior leaders in your business.

My guest on this podcast episode is Irene Falcone. Following a successful career in the media industry, Irene built two incredible companies, one of which she sold for $20 million - and she only had that business for four years! 

Today, Irene  is the Founder and Director of  Sans Drinks, which sells non-alcoholic beverages. Remember the pandemic where we all drank too much? Well, Irene emerged in 2020 post the worst of the pandemic with this company. She too wanted to cut down…  She really did hit that crisis moment, thinking I just want to stop drinking or reduce my drinking and this led her to explore her non-alcoholic drink options, of which there were few and far between.

There is plenty to explore with Irene. I want to share with you how she built her businesses, her career prior to that, and how she defines herself. She is full of energy, enthusiasm and surprises, and there are a lot of interesting twists and turns in this conversation. Enjoy!

This is the third and final podcast with alumni from the RISE Program. Today I am talking with two great women from Unilever - one is based in Unilever Australia - Shihara and she is the Finance Director, and the other is Sarah, also Australian but currently working in the UK with Unilever in a senior HR role. They are women that have attended the RISE program and, in my mind, have really used the program experience to progress their careers.

I really think you’ll love listening to Sarah and Shihara today. They will share some of the interesting moments in their own careers, how they are thinking about things, what’s been hard and what they got from the RISE program experience. They really are an inspiration.

How often do we throw away our power? How often do we fall into the trap of letting other people decide our worth and value and mostly because we default to pleasing or wanting to be liked or avoiding upsetting someone? 

I'm joined by Kemi Nekvapil - executive and personal coach for female leaders, global speaker and author of Power - A woman's guide to living and leading without apology. We will be talking about her book, which I cannot  speak highly enough of. She has done an extraordinary job of redefining POWER to make it feel both accessible and enticing.

What I personally have come to really admire about Kemi is her ability, and it’s very much a conscious choice, to rise above the small stuff. Her motivation is far bigger than most people’s motivation. She is driven by a social awareness and a desire to make the world a better place. 

When you spend time with someone like this, it's hard not to think about what is happening outside your little own microcosm, the impact of your behaviour and even what else is possible.

I love women talking about money, wealth creation, finances – it all delights me because we don't talk about money enough!

On average, as a gender, we retire with half the super balance of men. Now that is not great if you have the misfortune of being divorced later in life. Now compound this, with the fact that statistically we are likely to live longer than men and we earn less.

My guest on this podcast is the beautiful and talented, Molly Benjamin. Molly is helping women in the most extraordinary way. She is educating them and changing lives – and there’s no judgement with her approach – you can have the most limited knowledge and Molly helps you make sense of it all. She is an author – we will talk about her book, Girls Just Wanna Have Funds and also a business owner of Ladies Finance Club.  Let's dive in!

How many media professionals can you name with a stellar career in journalism that has spanned almost five decades?

Renowned journalist and editor, Helen Trinca, is my guest on this podcast and I am thrilled that she has agreed to join us.

I interviewed Helen in 2016 for my book, Woman of Influence, and I loved that conversation.

When I launched my book, Helen kindly agreed to join a panel discussion with 3 or 4 other women from the book. To say that she stole the show would be an understatement. Both the audience and the panelists were captivated.

Helen has a natural ability to engage and entertain, combined with her sense of confidence and intelligent approach to every topic. She was such a standout. It felt like I had sourced paid talent for the event!

As many of you would know, Helen is a highly regarded veteran of Australian newsrooms. She has been The Australian's European correspondent, Editor of The Weekend Australian Magazine, Managing Editor of The Australian, and more recently, editor of its business magazine, The Deal – which is fantastic by the way.

So over those five decades, she's worked in Australia, she’s worked overseas, and she has found the kind of lasting satisfaction in her working life that few achieve.

Helen has also authored three non-fiction books, including Waterfront, Better Than Sex  and Madeleine. She even won the 2014 Prime Minister’s Literary Award for non-fiction.

In this podcast, we get to talk about her career and women in the workplace. You’ll hear how passionate she is about access to childcare and she'll also share how she’s able to access this tremendous energy that she brings to her own career. It’s a super conversation!

For this podcast episode, I have invited three RISE participants. For those that don’t know, RISE is our public women’s career advancement program. These women are all 2022 RISE alumni. Their names are Coralie, Janice, and Marianne. 

Now these women all work for the  NSW Government  and I’ve invited them because they are fantastic, that part is pretty important! But I also want you to hear their perspective on things. So we're going to be talking about their careers and this idea of career confidence... a subject that is close to the heart of many women.

I will also be asking them about their RISE experience to give you some insights into what it looks like from a participant’s perspective. This is a genuine chat with three women who value their careers. They have opinions and enrolled in the RISE program for very specific reasons. You might be surprised by how much they gained from their program experience and the new perspectives that they actually have about themselves and their careers.

Let’s dive in for this lovely conversation.

How Much of Your “Authentic Self” Should You Really Bring to Work? We hear bring your authentic self to work EVERY day but what does that really mean? This is what I will be exploring with Jocelyn Turner, Executive, Customer Resolution and Remediation at NAB.  

The focus of the discussion today is authenticity. I think it's an apt one because Jocelyn, to me, is a very authentic leader. She encourages it in others – she has a team of about 1000 people at NAB. Now that’s a lot of people into inspire, don’t you think?

So today we’re going to be talking about authenticity at work. What it is, what it isn't and hopefully you’ll get the chance to walk away with some new and helpful thoughts around what is being authentic for you. And we all want to be authentic, right? It’s too much hard work trying to be someone else. That’s for sure!
