Welcome to Brillantes, the podcast with a French accent, which gives a voice to women who move the lines. My name is Jeanne du Sartel and between Zurich, where I live, and Paris where I come from, my goal is to meet the sparkling, powerful, talented and inspiring women, with atypical backgrounds and beautiful projects, to understand what drives them and makes them move forward.

#1 - Charlotte von Stotzingen: At the crossroads between art and humanitarian work

For the first episode of Brillantes, I am welcoming Charlotte von Stotzingen. Why? Well, first of all, because Charlotte is one of those personalities that naturally shine… These passionate and fascinating women, whose charisma is beyond dispute. But also because Charlotte von Stotzingen is an entrepreneur at heart. In just a few years, the young woman has managed to create a tailor-made career for herself, at the crossroads between the two worlds that drive her: art and humanitarian aid, between Paris, Zurich and Kenya. After studying business and art history, and a few years of experience in the field, Charlotte decides, with her husband, to drop her comfortable job and start a crazy humanitarian project in Kenya. The goal? To train young people in the remote region of Turkana in ICT, to enable them to work as freelancers. Back in Europe, she launched Thanks for Nothing, a philanthropic association whose aim is to mobilise the world of culture to promote solidarity. Finally, in Zurich, Charlotte has been heading for the past three years the Zurich Art Weekend, which highlights the artistic scene of the Swiss economic capital, just before Art Basel.Together, we talk about the impact that the Covid crisis has had on her activities and her daily life. Charlotte looks back with honesty at each of her projects, from their origin to their financing. We talk about the power of art and the impact it can have on society. Charlotte tells me about the art scene in Zurich, we discuss the role of galleries and the need for democratization.

#3 - Wies Bratby, Negotiation as a weapon for women

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 8, 2020 56:49

Wies Bratby, my guest this week, is fighting every day for more female recognition in the workplace. Her choice of weapon? The art of negotiation. For several years now, she has been helping women like you and me to gain recognition in the workplace and on the job market, whether it’s for a higher position or salary. The studies are telling: although women tend to be excellent negotiators for their surroundings or company, they don't fight enough for their own interests. And yet... without negotiation, the wage gap widens, the glass ceiling cannot be broken and motivation at work declines. You will hear Wies reflect on her childhood and how a passion for negotiation led her from the largest law firm in her country to head of HR in a global company in Hong Kong. She also tells me what drove her to set up her own firm, Women in Negotiation (WIN). But the essential part of this rather exceptional episode is centred on the ‘why’ and how-tos of negotiation (from the 23rd minute). You'll find tips and tricks, the essential checklist before landing in your boss’s office, or before setting the price of your product. The Dutch native also explains the strength of crafting and tapping into your network and the community. Whether you are just starting your career or you already have high responsibilities, whether you are unemployed, building a business from scratch or already running a successful startup, you should all be hanging on her every word!Time codes 03:36 Surrounded by sparkling women 05:52 The need for flexibility in the work place as one of the main learning from the Covid crisis 07:55 Successfully working together with her husband 08:51 Being raised in a tiny village in the Netherlands 09:34 Advocating for others: a life-long passion, leading to negotiation 11:21 Starting her career in a big law firm from the Netherlands 12:55 Starting her career without negotiating: or how to become her first client 15:52 Moving to Hong-Kong and shifting to HR 17:44 The cultural fit as the main success indicator 19:05 Helping people do their best work and making them shine through HR 21:29 Launching negotiation trainings inside her company 23:11 The global difficulty for women to negotiate 24:43 Why are women naturally better negotiators than men…26:16 … but negotiation on their own behalf goes against their education 27:45 The need to work on internal self-estime 28:30 “It costs a company between 100% and 400% of someone’s annual salary to replace that person”30:21 Valuing the people, or how to unleash motivation, passion and good work 32:56 Negotiating requires hard work 34:46 Quick and dirty tips for your negotiation : Prepare properly and aim high 37:22 The difference between being a negotiator or not in financial terms 38:40 Helping startups set up the right (and high!) prices - because price and value are connected in people’s mind 41:04 Your customers become a ton more of fun the more you charge! 42:36 The gender inequality for startups and fund-raising 44:12 Breaking gender biaises through education48:13 Connecting people and ideas, all over the world 49:40 Creating a “old girls network”, and pear support through the Lean In organisation 51:49 “We are stronger together”53:18 Final questions Interesting links and references Social mediasOn Linkedin account: https://www.linkedin.com/in/womeninnegotiation/On instagram Her account: https://www.instagram.com/wiesbratby/WIN account: https://www.instagram.com/womeninnegotiation/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WomenInNegotiationInteresting websites Her company Women in Negociation : https://womeninnegotiation.org/Lean in Switzerland: https://www.leaninswitzerland.org/References Book that shifted her way to think: Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In (2011), by Roger Fisher The women she would like to hear in a Brillantes episode : Fungai Mettler https://www.fungaimettler.com/Help me grow up Brillantes!

She has not finished her studies yet, but is already fighting on a daily basis to make her professional sector, tech, a more inclusive one. A place where women and men would fight on equal terms.Three years ago, Céline Nauer co-founded Code Excursion, a coding school by and for women, conceived as a community. There, she teaches women about programming, in a helpful, passionate and including way. Her goal? To help and encourage women take ownership of such a male-dominated sector. Since the beginning of her studies, Céline has been navigating in the least feminized academic and professional environments, science and technology. Today, women still represent on average only 30% of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) students. And this percentage decreases with the expertise level: only 5% of leadership positions in the tech sector are held by women. But these figures have never discouraged Céline. After a bachelor's degree in physics at the University of Zurich, the woman whose aim in life is to learn as much as possible, is now finishing her master's degree in Neuroscience and Computation at the ETH. In this interview, Celine tells how the gender-neutral education she received pushed her down this path. She explains how her years at university, between Zurich and Taiwan, but also in the industry, at Swiss Post Solutions, convinced her to fight for parity and equality in tech and science. Through her clear and concrete examples, Céline describes why the scientific world today is anything but meritocratic. We talk about the gender bias that the algorithms that shape our daily lives carry within them, and she demonstrates the absolute necessity for diversity in the tech and scientific worlds. Roles models, female initiatives, quotas: we go though all the solutions that can be implemented to promote gender quality. To everyone who you is thinking about learning how to code, or who would just like to better understand those crucial topics for our democracies, I invite you to dive into this exciting and challenging conversation!

When Larisa Topalo arrived in Zurich for love three years ago, with no network nor someone to go to, she decided to launch her own blog. A way to establish a name for herself in this foreign city, and to potentially find a job. In her blog "Just moved to Switzerland", Larisa tells about her daily life as an expat, her discoveries, her joys but also her difficulties. And in a city as international as Zurich, her tone and sincerity are really much appreciated. In just one year, she gets 10,000 followers. In this discussion, Larisa reveals her origins and tells about her studies between Canada and Europe. She describes her passion for communication and explains to me how she has always been working to value and promote her work. Today, more than 42,000 people are following Larisa. Enough for her to quit her job in communications at UBS and to become independent. Larisa explains me her business model, based on content productions, influence and consulting missions. You will hear about her tips and tricks to create a community as powerful as hers. We discuss about the status of influencers, and their responsibility towards their audience. I question their authenticity, and I get to discover the ins and outs of this business, as well as the best practices for working with influencers. We talk about the difficulty for freelancers to define the worth of their work, and Larisa shares her tips and organisational advices.

She left behind a successful career in fashion, with one goal: to become the first artist in Switzerland to use flowers as a main tool. The Florist was born. In Zurich, she revolutionises the profession. Exit, the street shop, Aline works in an atelier. She produces her bouquets on demand or by subscription. She teaches her know-how and carries out all sorts of requests for brands or private clients... And Aline's work is so powerful, that over time she even acquired the status of artist. In this discussion, Aline recounts the success of TheFlorist.ch, launched in 2016. She details how she conceived and set up her business. Aline also describes the challenge of working with a living material as fragile as flowers, and I ask her about the environmental impact of this globalised industry. We talk about entrepreneurship and its challenges, and she explains how she has managed to make a place for herself and to create a network in this new country. Of course, you will also hear about her professional beginnings, in Brazil, as she was working for 16 years in fashion, namely for Vogue and Harpers Bazaar.

Anna Gracia Herbst has always wanted to find in her professional life a way to help others. So when she first hears about Khalil Radi’s new project in 2018, she is immediately convinced. In Nicaragua, her friend has launched an action to encourage people collect and bring back the polluting plastic bottles in exchange for a hot meal. The project tackles two major problems at the same time: pollution and social misery. And on earth, 80% of plastic pollution is coming from those countries that have extreme poverty. In Zurich, together with a small group of other people, they create the association Buy Food With Plastic, whose mission is clear: 'Stop Hunger and recycle at the same time'. In this interview, Anna explains the objectives of Buy Food with Plastic, their recycling or upcycling plans, and we also compare with similar projects internationally. Anna details the financing solutions for this project, which for the past few months has been professionalizing and expanding beyond Nicaragua, in Ghana and in India. The young lady, who left her job in a start-up to become a full-time employee of her association, also tells me about volunteering, commitment, entrepreneurship, and shares with me her unfailing confidence in the future. So for all of you who would like to learn more about plastic pollution, understand how it can become a weapon against poverty, and be inspired by Anna’s great commitment, I invite you to plug in your headphones and dive into the new episode of Brillantes!

We have all already been discouraged by the huge choice in the supermarket...

Anna Stünzi is the president of Foraus, the Swiss think tank dedicated to foreign policy and a researcher at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research... But that's not all. At barely 30, the young woman is also the founder of a solar energy start up, and a member of the board of Gemeinsam Znacht, an association that looks after the integration of migrants.If I had to define Anna in one word, I would say "committed". Two themes in particular are dear to her: environment and migration. In this discussion, Anna explains why her work in the private sector and in associations has always been an excellent way to feed her academic research, and vice versa. We talk about her mission as the president of the Foraus and I question her about the concrete impact of think tanks on public policies. Together we also talk about the status of women in the male-dominated world of academic research and how universities should adapt to the modern world. Anna, who also dances one hour everyday, shares with me her secrets for remaining productive and managing so many activities at the same time.

Barbara Lax had one ambition: to have a long-term positive impact on people's lives. Some time after the birth of her first daughter, while searching for the best childcare system, the civil engineer found out how she could contribute to a better future: by creating a childcare concept adapted to the modern world. Against all odds, despite the reluctance of her surroundings, Barbara left her successful career at Caterpillar and set out on her own. In 2012 Little Green House was born. A childcare network adapted to modern families, helping both parents to keep their career, multilingual, close to nature and ecology and following an innovative educational system, according to the discoveries of neurosciences. In this discussion, the triathlete and iron woman looks back on the first, particularly difficult years of entrepreneurship and what drove her to persevere in spite of everything. We talk about education of course, and in particular about the incredible breakthroughs in neuroscience, directly relevant for the education of young children.We also discuss about public policies for early childcare and about parental leave. The businesswoman, whose company was rated last year as one of the most dynamic companies in Europe by the Financial Times, explains her decision to create a system of private crèches, and details her wishes of expansion.

This week, I have the pleasure to receive on my podcast a woman with an exceptional background. Sarah Springman has been rector of one of the world's best universities, ETH, since 2015. But that's not all.The number 2 at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich is also a top athlete and multiple European Triathlon Champion. For her career-long service to her sport at international level, the Queen of England even made her Commander of the order of the British Empire . In this discussion, you will understand how the British engineer did to pursue two careers of excellence at the same time. We talk about success, and I understand how the practice of high-level sport has nourished her academic career, and vice versa. Sarah Springman looks back on her journey in these male-dominated environments and shares her vision of female leadership. The first female professor in geotechnical engineering in Western Europe explains why social, cultural and gender diversity in science and research is needed. I ask her about the actions taken by ETH to promote greater diversity, and we talk about the cases of sexism that are shaking up the academic world and in particular ETH's cousin, EPFL. In this podcast, you will discover a strong and resolutely brilliant personality. But I won't tell you more and let you discover this discussion with an extraordinary woman.

Aysha van de Paer has one mission: to empower women through investment. Her theory? In order to overcome the inequalities and economic vulnerability that all women may face during their lives, investment is the safe, easy and time-saving way to guarantee a certain economic security. In this interview, Aysha takes her personal exemple and explains how the loss of her husband, at just 35 years old, made her aware of the necessity to secure her financial situation. Convinced of the need to bring this message to all women, and to make them change their vision of that practise that may appear complex and scary, the young woman created her own blog, which then became a real business: InvestLikeAysha.com. In this interview, we will learn the basic principles to invest the best way in the stock market, and listen to all the valuable advice that Aysha shares with each and every one of us. ETF, Robo-Advisors, diversification, sustainable investment… In one hour, you will understand the basic concepts, which are much less complex than you thought, and will know how to start your new life as an investor.

Nina Müller is the CEO of Jelmoli, Switzerland's oldest department store, and certainly one of Zurich's best-known institutions. The native Austrian, who defines herself as a true European, took up her post in April 2020, right in the middle of the first Lockdown. A more than complicated timing, which did not, however, dampen her optimism and passion for retail. Before taking the helm of this almost 200 year old house, Nina Müller worked in several beautiful premium luxury houses all over Europe, including Wolford, Mandarina Duck, Swarovski and Christ. In this discussion, the marketer explains how she shaped her career, and how luck, but above all determination and the ability to believe in herself have enabled her to get the positions of her dreams. Together we talk about leadership, but also about diversity and feminism. Nina Müller also outlines her vision of the future of retail, and of department stores such as Jelmoli, which she believes should become places of exchange and encounter, where infotainment is key. The discussion is rich, optimistic, and definitely makes you want to go for a stroll in one of these beautiful European department stores...
