Lady Leadership - Careers and Business For Women

Heard the saying - things happen for a reason? Or you should listen to your gut? Or even what is your gut telling you? Well this is the chat that you are going to want to tune into! 

I had the great honour of chatting this week to Raquel Vasallo who is a spiritual advisor to female visionaries and leaders. She is an International Speaker, Mystic Artist and Feminine Leadership trendsetter.  Plus she has also written a book called Spiritual Seductress.

In 2008, Raquel was living the dream life working as an Architect for a star firm and had a near death experience - she was unfortunately run over by a car and survived. Following this she had a major spiritual awakening.  That was the calling that Raquel needed to change up her life. 

Raquel works with women and they are usually at a point that they have reached a point in their life where they have had a lot of success but still feel like something is missing in their life and she works with women to discover what this is. 

We talk about feeling frustrated by the patriachal society that we live within and wanting to have a bigger voice and how to step into your power more. We talked about what spirituality means to her and how women have turned down their natural instincts. We talk about how to tune into our energy for the benefit of business and exercising and trusting your intuition. 

Plus we even touch on universal law and abundance. 

This is a super super interesting chat and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!

To work with Raquel.

This year has become the year of the virtual meeting and we are all navigating how to create gravitas with co-workers, teams and bosses virtually! I talked this week to Kim Foley who is an expert in how to bring your best to virtual meetings. As one of Kim's colleague said to her at the start of Covid we were all navigating the unknown, now we all need to get comfortable with a new way of working!

Kim has worked as an ward-winning TV producer, media trainer, and television stylist - she is an expert in how to be in front of the camera. She has recently bought together all her years of experience in this field and written a new book called Virtual meetings with Power and Presence. In this chat we talked about how to bring your power and your credibility to virtual meeting to create trustability. 

If you are wanting to get a leg-up virtually then you should definitely have a listen to this podcast. Kim shared so many insights from her new book that are going to propel you forward in any work meeting that you attend and you really don't need to do that much at all!

 We talked about how to make sure that your technology is working properly, how to frame yourself  plus the best things to wear and also how to be heard. Plus also what to do about lighting. Plus if you wear glasses what you should with them!

This week on the Lady Leadership podcast I caught up with Maddie Brown.  Maddie is an accountant with more than 30 years working with small businesses and entrepreneurs - I thought that we were going to be talking mainly Money but this interview was so much more.  

Maddie left her secure but underwhelming job at the age of 50 and bought a small accountancy firm . In Maddie's words she was very unhappy in her job and had become complacent and used to the that unhappiness. It was the best thing that she has ever done and absolutely loves her business and the people that she helps and works with. 

As such we talked change and entrepreneurship and moving in the direction of your dreams and that you can make money in thousands of ways. 

Over the years, Maddie has worked with thousands of clients (most of them being amazing women), and has helped them get their finances in order and get them past the fear of being judged on their bookkeeping. 

If you are looking for some motivation and inspiration then have a listen.

This week on the Lady Leadership podcast I caught up  with workplace specialist and author Michelle Gibbings to talk Bad bosses! 

At one time or another we've all had a bad boss – whether it’s through bullying and intimidation, unfair feedback or unrealistic workloads. Their behaviour sets the tone for what's acceptable at work and can cause major issues for productivity, staff turnover and wellbeing, especially in turbulent times we’re experiencing. In a tough or toxic work environment, how can we find harmony with those we work with?

In the new book, Bad Boss: What to do if you work for one, manage one or are one , workplace expert Michelle Gibbings draws upon decades of experience in corporate leadership to provide a practical transformation guide. She covers all three perspectives: the direct report, the boss and the boss's boss, helping readers quickly identify where the issue lies, along with actionable steps to turn things around if you finding yourself working for a bad boss.

Michelle says that bad bosses aren’t always bad people, and it takes work at every level to create an environment where everyone can flourish. If you dare to examine your own role in your current situation and take swift action, you’ll gain better relationships and greater career satisfaction. 

Bad Boss is an essential read for anyone in (or wanting to avoid) a toxic work environment, filled with practical advice and actional steps to turn things around for any organisation. 

 Not only did we discuss Bad bosses and what to do and not what to do but we also discussed finding Joy and happiness plus spending more time in nature and doing the things that you love.

This week on the Lady Leadership podcast I sat down with Vicki Macdermid from Equilead to to talk leadership and connection through the insights of horses. As an avid horse lover and horse rider this was a chat that I was really looking forward to. 

After spending about 30 years working in a corporate career in many leadership roles and being a partner of a large business called Pitch Partners plus a TedX speaker.  Vicki has launched her new business combining her love of horses and leadership. 

After attending a number of courses on leadership herself over the years, Vicki had the insight that learning comes from doing and participating not sitting in a classroom.  Plus after spending time with horses she saw that the best outcomes for horse and human come from connection.  When their is real connection in what we are trying to achieve together. 

As such, Vicki runs courses that involve teams working on the ground with a horse to achieve an outcome . As Vicki says the horse does not care is you are the Managing Director! Vicki is their to help facilitate the interaction and provide insight and through the horses reactions give feedback as to what the horse is saying with its behaviour. 

I think you are going to find this chat very insightful.

This week I caught up with Wendy Born - I loved this chat with Wendy about leadership. Wendy has recently written a book called Raising Leaders - using the principles of parenting at work to to become a great leaders and create great leaders. 

Wendy says that when you observe the behaviour of leaders you admire, you will see similarities between them and your own experiences as a child or parent. 

We started off the show with a quote from Wendy's book that talks about comparing yourself to who you were and not others! Such great advice.

We talked Wendy's 5 leadership principles of Love, Environment, Health, Language and Vision. 

This discussion is all about what good leadership looks like and creating connection with your team and what to do when you are struggling with this. 

We even talked about putting our children on performance plans!

We talked about how Penny developed her business Hacking Happy, she shares how she works plus the importance of hobbies and how businesses could start to learn and connect more with there teams through different learning experiences such as hobbies. We also discussed how completely intertwined our work and play has become. Plus we discussed the impacts on covid on mental health and how technology is impacting our lives plus we both share a love of horses!

This week I caught up with Alison Hill, CEO of three-time AFR Fast 100 company, Pragmatic thinking.  

Pragmatic thinking are a behaviour and strategy motivation company who work with organisations to build better leaders and better cultures through their people strategies.

Alison shared how business strategies live and die through their people strategies and that teams need to be engaged, lit up and motivated to deliver great business outcomes. 

Alison and her team work mainly with company leaders on leadership development, developing a leadership narrative and story that people will want to follow. Plus how to have the critical and tough conversations within teams and people when they aren't performing or motivated. 

Alison finds that having a strong feedback culture can improve a business incredibly plus the impact of culture on performance. 

We also discussed how this year during Covid that leadership and team work had affected every company dramatically and going forward companies are going to want to see evidence that leaders had lead virtual teams. 

If you are leading a team or you work in HR - Alison shares some great advice about on-boarding team members plus having difficult conversations and providing performance feedback. 

This conversation is not to be missed.

In this episode of Lady Leadership I share my top tips for negotiating your salary. 

Negotiating salaries can be difficult, you don't want to pitch yourself too low and you don't want to pitch yourself too high!

My golden rule is not to disclose what you want first but rather ask what is the job paying?
Any company that advertisers a job is going to have a range that they want to pay for a role. 
They have to budget for it in their financials! 

Check out how i recommend that you answer the dreaded question? What is your current salary?
And what I think you should ask when asked this question!

You are going to love it!

In this weeks episode of the Lady leadership I am talking about why you should have a coach! 

I have recently been working with a horse riding coach myself and have realised why more than ever if you want to move forward in any area of life you should find and work with a coach. My horse riding coach has helped me immensely. I share my 5 top reasons why you should have a coach. 

I cover:

- They will help you clarify your vision and your goals. 
- You will be able to leverage their learnings and knowledge. 
- They will get you to think differently and see your blockers. 
- They will help your develop momentum and stay on track and keep you accountable. 

Plus 

- They will help you navigate difficult times and give you advise. 

Fundamentally they will have your back and help you reach your goals and dreams and it will be so good when you get there!

We also talk about running a global business and hiring a team plus learning to let go and hand off to others. Plus we also discussed working on the business versus in the business.

As the Customer Experience Officer for Fed Square this is exactly what Suzana and her team faced!

Have a listen to the interview where Suzana shares exactly what Fed Square did, how they did it and how they managed and inspired the team through this crises. Plus what they are thinking for next year and how they are planning.

I also talk to Suzana about how a Brazilian native found herself in Melbourne Australia! We talk about Suzana's love of creating an event and what I most loved about this chat is how Suzana has approached her career to grow it into what it is today. She has focused on 'what is the gap' and also focused on developing new skills she needs to fill that gap. We also discussed how not knowing anyone in Melbourne she has built such a fantastic career. Suzana has a lot to be proud of!

I think you will love this chat with Suzana!

This week on the Lady Leadership podcast I catch up with Gabrielle Dolan who is a speaker, an author but more importantly an expert in Storytelling.

Gabrielle had a very successful corporate career working in Leadership and Change Management when she accidentally became a storyteller. As someone who worked for a big bank she noticed that the really good presenters shared stories. As someone who had always told a good story this resonated with her and she wanted to develop the idea that story telling could be a better way to communicate.

She decided that she wanted to create her own business and create a process and a methodology to tell stories.

We talk about what makes a good story and how to tell it, we discuss how Gabrielle run's her business through the mantra of Think, Sell and Deliver and we even dive into writing books.

I think you are really going to enjoy this podcast!

In this weeks episode of the Lady Leadership podcast I talk about my values, my work ethic and a bit about how I grew up. I discuss how I got confident in my career by doing! 

I share how I grew my career step by step, what I like to focus, what can I achieve at an organisation, plus also what will I be allowed to achieve at an organisation and how I do this. Plus, it is also key to me about who do you want to impact at an organisation. 

I am also a big fan of asking for more work and also what is the next job and the job after that! How do I develop the skills I need for the next role! 

I also talk in this episode about the practicalities of how i organise myself and deliver work. How this has developed momentum and how I organise myself in my career to get the most out of it. 

Plus also developing who you need around you!
