Elevate. It’s a terrific word Elevate, isn’t it! If you’ve attended my programs, you will hear me say things such as ‘that style of conversation will elevate you”, and  “You will feel more elevated if you…”.  I use it because I love the idea of elevating the women I work with.  In this podcast, I am joined by two incredible women who have taken that thought to a whole new level. In fact, they have...

Wellbeing... We hear a lot about it and we know it's important. We're bombarded with advice on meditation, plant based diets, workouts, fasting, ice baths, infrared saunas. And frankly, it can feel overwhelming, right? If you're tuning in, I'm assuming you're eager to develop professionally and improve your career. And let's face it, a healthy, balanced life is a big part of that journey, but let'...

Style plays a pivotal role in our lives, particularly when it comes to nurturing a brilliant career. Style is the means through which we present ourselves. It's our mode of self-expression, a channel for communicating who we are to the world and how we choose to show up.  In this episode, I am entering controversial territory, to talk about style from the perspective of the way we dress and style...

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.

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...
