In Part 1 of this episode, we are discussing something that infuriates me: the constant news of another illegal immigrant committing heinous crimes against U.S. citizens. Whether it's in New York, Tulsa, or California, the stories are endless, and it's heartbreaking. How can our leaders in Washington, D.C. just shrug this off like it's nothing? They don't even name the victims, and it's like they don't care.We're talking about crimes that should have never happened in the first place if there was proper accountability. These criminals are exploiting the system, crossing our borders without facing consequences. While I'm here jumping through hoops to get a permit for a shop on my own property, these individuals are getting away with murder, literally.We are fired up, discussing the alarming rise of violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants and how our broken system allows it. From the tragic stories of victims like Rachel Morin to the countless others affected, we're shedding light on the failings that let these predators roam free.Thank you for joining us on this episode of "All Things Crime." If you're as fed up as we are, make sure to subscribe, hit the bell for notifications, and share this episode. It's time to hold people accountable and bring justice to every victim.

As she approached her sixties, the idea of retirement loomed, but she was not ready to give up or stop. This led her to start investigating the concept of "unretirement" and how to continue living a fulfilling and purposeful life beyond traditional retirement age. Jackie's own experiences and insights have led her to believe that her journey can inspire and help others who may be facing similar questions about their own future.Key Takeaways00:00 Jacki Naghten: Unretirement speaker, change advocate, mentor.05:48 Risieng number of older workers face discrimination.07:26 Purpose brings satisfaction, drive to get up.11:40 Left corporate job, became consultant, discovered skills.16:30 Adapt to change and stay flexible.17:26 Connecting with people is key to success.Valuable Free Resource or ActionConnect with Jackie at LinkedinA video version of this podcast is also at _________________________________________________________________________________________________Subscribe to our newsletter and get details of when we are doing these interviews live at https://TCA.fyi/newsletterFind out more about being a guest at : link.thecompleteapproach.co.uk/beaguestSubscribe to the podcast at https://link.thecompleteapproach.co.uk/podcastHelp us get this podcast in front of as many people as possible.

I'm absolutely delighted today to be joined by Jackie Norton. Now they always say, if you want to improve, if you want to get better in your business, you should employ people who are better than you, and that's how I feel about my guest today. I am really delighted to be having a conversation with Jackie who has a far more impressive portfolio of of businesses and interests than I have met, and so I'm really, really delighted, Jacqui, you found time in your diary to come and join us for a few minutes. Jacqui is what they call the unretirement speaker. She revealed facts and the reality about retirement in the 2020s for the boomers and how to get to your 100 year lifespan. She mentors and supports entrepreneurs who need to pivot and grow, and if she hasn't got enough going on, she's also the MD of a business whose mission is to change the narrative around the 50 plus woman, to become the invisible increasingly disappear at that age, and she's there to change that. And and that therefore means that what is throughout all of her career, what throughout all of her passion is that of change, changing individuals, changing businesses.Stuart Webb [00:01:36]:The need for change, managing change, and working out what is required is absolutely one of the critical bits of business that we need in the world today. So, Jackie, delighted you've spent time to come and spend a few minutes with us. Thank you so much for for being on It's Not Rocket Science, 5 Questions, Over Coffee.Jackie Naghten [00:01:52]:Well, thank you very much, Stuart. I hope it isn't rocket science. I hope it's not complicated as that.Stuart Webb [00:01:59]:No. Nothing is complicated than that. Look, Jacqui, let's start. You talk about being an unretirement speaker. You talk about, leading them. Tell us, what is it? Who who is it that you're trying to help? I guess it's obvious, but what who is it you're trying to help to understand the these changes that you're bringing to the world?Jackie Naghten [00:02:15]:Well, I think like most things in life, when you have any, you know, successful people, across all sorts of businesses and disciplines, and they tell their life story. Usually things happen because of what's happened in their lives, isn't it? You know, so you tend to look at yourself and think, well, this has happened to me. You know, I'm sure it must be happening to other people. So in the case of unretirement, I'm in my sixties now. And as I've approached that time and it sort of comes upon you, you know, you're bumbling along in your forties and next thing great. So you're gonna retire now? And I'm like, no. I don't want to retire. You know, what am I gonna do? And so I started to investigate this whole idea about not retiring because when I really thought about it for myself, I thought, you know, because retirement sounds like giving up, finishing, stopping.Jackie Naghten [00:03:05]:It feels like the end of life and I didn't feel like that at all. And I think particularly for women Webb we've had, a lot of time caring responsibilities, you know, juggling careers, suddenly as you get to your sixties, you actually have the time that you've always wanted to do things. So I started to investigate this whole issue of unretirement, which I I came up with. And then I found that actually exists out there and people are talking about on retirement, which is really, it's actually been coined by people who are actually returning to the workforce. So they've retired and then they've spent a couple of years in retirement, had a couple of cruises, done an extension, and then they're bored and they've come back. Because the truth of the matter is that for we boomers, and let's be honest, the boomers, we've been a quite a pioneering generation. We are now this is a final frontier for us, pioneering this move into older age. And, typically, as boomers, we're knowing it like it.Jackie Naghten [00:04:03]:So we question it. We're having a different, approach to it. We five a different lived experience, in our lives. I mean, certainly from the female point of view, a lot of us have had careers and brought up families, which, you know, wasn't wasn't didn't happen, you know, 50, 100 years ago. So we're a pioneering generation, and it's all changing. And we can see the rock stars are still rocking. The screenwriters are still writing, the actors are still acting well into their eighties nineties. So it's all changing.Jackie Naghten [00:04:29]:And so it's against that backdrop that I speak about on retirement.Stuart Webb [00:04:33]:And I think that's a really interesting point, Jacqui, because one of the things you just sort of talked about there is it's the experience that you bring. The the the the the fact of matter is that the the people who five retire often know better than anybody coming through all those things that do work and don't work and how to make that change the most practical, the most effective, as they can be. And and it's often that experience that we lose when people just sort of go Webb go off and do the cruises and spend time at home.Jackie Naghten [00:05:03]:Some people are very happily retired. Since you were 16. You can't physically do the job, you know, be a roofer anymore or whatever. And some and some many people are very happy to retire and focus on family and different things. But there's an awful lot of us who don't want to do that, and there's an awful lot of people who can't do that because the retirement, the state pension age is going up. And let's be honest, not many of us can live on that state pension. It's sort of more of a, you know, it's about a £1,000 a month. If you've got 25 years to live in retirement, a £1,000 a month isn't going to give you a very, exciting stimulating life.Jackie Naghten [00:05:48]:So, you know, that's the facts of the matter. So we've seen it for some time that our pensioners are going back into the workforce to supplement their income. But places like B&Q, you know, have taken on older people with all their experience, etcetera. But it's actually a much bigger issue now, and we're going to have by, I think, Webb about 50, 50% of the workforce is going to be over 50. Mhmm. And so there's a couple of things going on. First of all, there's a thing for people personally, what they want to do in it the birth rate's dropping, and they're suddenly waking up to the fact they might need older people. But meanwhile, what we know is 50 plus people are finding it incredibly difficult to get back into the workforce because there is a generational, sexist, a generational ageism going on, which is the last frontier of sort of, equality in the workplace, which is something that we at noon, with my other hat on, are working on.Jackie Naghten [00:06:44]:So, you know, my unretirement interest and speaking about unretirement kind of has a very nice crossover with the the work I do at noon, which is all about the 50 plus women who are very keen to get back to work and think about what they're going to do as they pivot in the midlife.Stuart Webb [00:07:00]:And I'm so glad you brought noon in because I was about to ask, of course, what is what is noon? And so therefore, let's let's move on to sort of what it is therefore then that you've seen people who are trying to sort of cope with this on retirement. You've mentioned a couple of times people who've retired and it's not for them, so they've gone back to work. What is it that you you are trying to do to help them with that with that transition? How do you how do you help people to understand whether or not retirement is right for them?Jackie Naghten [00:07:26]:Well, I think, I think what we have to think about is very simple. It's what gets you out of bed in the middle? What gets you out of bed in the morning? And what doesn't get me out of bed in the morning is just thinking, oh, I'm going to see some friends for lunch and I'll maybe go to the gym later. I mean, I'm not saying that's not nice to do, but I I it's lacking a sort of purpose, a sort of satisfaction. That's what I found, you know, because I I did have a period of time when I had cancer and that enforced me to have a a year off. And I and and and while you're not very Webb, obviously, I was so frustrated because I couldn't do anything. You know, I hadn't got any point, you know, I couldn't work and all these things. And so I'm just somebody, and there's lots of us around who just like like working. I mean, lots of people work in volunteer positions because they just want to have a purpose.Jackie Naghten [00:08:11]:And what we know, I think it's Sigmund Freud who said, you know, there's 2 main things in life out of all of this is love and work, which is really purpose and human connection. And that, you know, that's what working can give you and that's what we as humans, you know, on the whole keeps us going. So, you know, when I say work, it doesn't necessarily have to be financially rewarding work. It could be all sorts of things, but it's finding purpose. And I think that's where people quite often need help. Because as we all know, when we try and write about ourself market, it's very difficult doing that yourself. It's much more helpful if you do it with somebody else who can interpret how you are. And that's where coaching or mentoring comes in because, I can work with people, and they they may be let's say they've been an accountant for 20, 30 years.Jackie Naghten [00:09:00]:All they can think about is, like, well, I'm very good with numbers. I can do accountancy, but I don't want to do it anymore. And it's very difficult for them to think, what are the other possibilities. So what I'm very good at is thinking creatively with people about the other skills and strengths that they might have that could take them in a different direction.Stuart Webb [00:09:17]:Takes us in so many directions actually. So I think you're absolutely right. The the meaningful connections is hugely important. I think biologists are now beginning to discuss or, you know, you you hear in the media that, loneliness can be the equivalent of smoking 15 cigarettes a day. And Having those meaningful connections can extend your lifespan.Jackie Naghten [00:09:35]:I mean, I have to say, I have looked into an article about that. It's a slightly typically, as as you can imagine, typically, a sort of convoluted piece of data when you, you know, get underneath it because it it's not that simple, but loneliness is is an epidemic, you know. And as we live longer I mean, I'm widowed myself. As we live longer, divorce a lot of people are getting divorced in their fifties and sixties because they're thinking, if they're living till they're five and they have a non satisfactory relationship, they're actually getting divorced in their sixties, which is another reason why people often need to work because the financial pots got smaller, etcetera, etcetera. And also for women who were divorced and on their own, typically men tend to find another partner, women perhaps not. They want to go to work or they might not have worked for 10, 15 years. And so, you know, and they have no idea. You know, jobs have changed.Jackie Naghten [00:10:26]:The workplace has changed tremendously. And and so it's a little bit scary for, people when they're older to go back into, but they're quite keen to have that connection and to have some purpose.Stuart Webb [00:10:38]:So so, Jackie, if we if we if we now look at what how people can get in contact with you, I think I think you've given us your LinkedIn, your LinkedIn, and and the the Noon, which is the organization. Are there are there things that they'll find there that could be helping them to understand this transition that you're talking to people about?Jackie Naghten [00:11:05]:Well, certainly at noon, we have a lot of resources on there. We cover divorce, bereavement, cancer, job searching, all of those sorts of things. And there's lots of uplifting stories about, you know, all this because what we learn from in life is stories and it's always interesting to hear somebody else's Stuart. Yeah. And particularly if you're going through a tough time in your life, so for myself, I've got a you know, my story was my husband was diagnosed with a very with a terminal illness when I was 42. And I had to pivot. I had to change everything in my life. My life literally went up in the air, and I had to reinvent myself.Jackie Naghten [00:11:40]:I had to give up my corporate job. I went out into the world and became a consultant just based on networking really, you know, without any plan or thought. And so I've learned to market myself. I learned that I had skills I didn't realize I had, and this is I think the point of coaching, etcetera, you know, where you can you've actually got skills you don't realize you have because you think all you can do is add up numbers if, you know, do a balance sheet in accountancy. But, actually, you've got loads of other skills as well. And, actually, these are leading, problem solving, these sorts of skills, which you can apply to all sorts of things. So, you know, if you go to Noon you can find out about the Midlife Women. If you just come to my LinkedIn and connect with me then, I'm more than happy to, you know, I get all sorts of people who I meet, day to day and for various speaking engagements approaching me saying, can you help with this? Can you help with that? Because I've also worked with a lot of entrepreneurs and it's, you know, whether it's a business or a person, quite often a business falters and stutters and it might need to be reinvented or might need to take a different turn.Jackie Naghten [00:12:49]:And again, when you're the founder and the owner, it's quite difficult working that out. You need someone from outside to help you work that through.Stuart Webb [00:12:57]:Yes. Jackie, is is there a is there a a book or or course that, that really sort of helped you to understand how the unretirement world is beginning to become the new the new retire the the new work?Jackie Naghten [00:13:13]:Well, there's a there's a couple of things. I mean, we are, we are shortly going to be running courses at noon, about this. We're working on those at the Moment. I've got a book here which I came across or designing and I came across this about 10 years ago. I mean, that's an old version there. And it was written by 2 guys in, I think it's Stanford University in America, Bill Burnett and Dave Evans. And it absolutely fascinated me because I'm a brand person. And so because my background is retail and consumer brands.Jackie Naghten [00:13:47]:And, when you when you talk about brands, you're talking about brands have a sort of personality and they have values, etcetera. And what this book did, it actually looked to people as if they were brands. And so it really resonated with me. Because, actually, these days, people, you know, there's lots of chat about, you know, people talk about their personal brand. And your personal brand is just how you come how you present to the world and what your values are and what you can, you know, what you can how you can help people with. And so I would say designing your life, was all about looking at people that felt they were a square peg in a round hole, and how they could they thought just because they were interested, for example, one of the founders, the writers here. I mean, he was always as a little boy interested in marine biology. He became a marine biologist.Jackie Naghten [00:14:37]:So when he was about 35, he suddenly thought, I'm just not really that in this. I don't know why he's actually interested in something completely, something completely different. And quite honest, I mean, I when I was at school, I was good at languages. They said I should work in the foreign office. I would have absolutely useless as a civil servant because those are the sort of boxes, you know, we get put in boxes. And I still feel over today, the recruitment industry puts us in boxes whereas actually people have often have lots of other sides to them. So I would very much recommend that. And I would also recommend just, you know, going, if you're interested to pursue, reviewing your your your opportunities in life is to find a coach or a mentor.Jackie Naghten [00:15:17]:There's lots of, you know, TED Talks, for example, are an absolutely fantastic resource, which is all about telling stories about how people have embraced change and changed things. And they're very inspirational. You know? So, yeah, that would be what I would say, you know, go out. Main thing is go out into the world and connect with people. You know, I think you learn a lot by chatting to other people.Stuart Webb [00:15:39]:I I couldn't agree with you more. I couldn't agree with more. Look, Jackie, I kept you talking for about the last 15, 20 minutes, asking you all sorts of silly questions but there must be one question that you're thinking, well I wish you would get on to this subject. So this is my opportunity to get you to say what is the question that you would like me to have asked. Well, obviously, then when I've, got you to ask the question, you better answer it. So what's that question you would like me to have asked?Jackie Naghten [00:16:09]:I suppose, the question I would like you to have asked, or that I think is a good question to ask anybody, as Webb as what has been the biggest, what has made the biggest impact in your life, you know, to bring you to where you are today to to today?Stuart Webb [00:16:25]:That's a very good question. So so what has been that biggest impact?Jackie Naghten [00:16:30]:Well, I think the biggest impact is really goes back to that story I just told of when my husband was diagnosed with a with a with a illness, which is, that you never know what's around the corner. Mhmm. So, you know, I always say my big piece of advice to my well, to my kids and to anybody who gets in a bit of a twiddle and a twaddle with things is to say, have a plan, the plan can change. You know, because people get But what's a common thread through all of that? It's about change and pivoting. But what's a common thread through all of that? It's about change and pivoting. You know, either pivoting, responding to outside outside influences because something, you know, you've got divorced, you you've got cancer, whatever happened, you know, you've got a sick child, and you have to change and rethink what you're doing, or because you want to. You want something different. You want to be reenergized and do something different.Jackie Naghten [00:17:26]:So I think the most important thing is to realize that you, you know, you you can't that that life won't be as you plan. Have a plan, the plan can change and go out and connect, you know, people are the biggest resource that's free out there that you can connect with and just, you know, you might I mean, I'm an you know, we're probably Stuart Natural Connectors. We're doing this sort of stuff, you know, we are sort of probably I'm certainly myself an extrovert. It's not easy for everybody. Not everybody's like that, but certainly if you're not somebody and and a lot of people think, oh, networking, you know, oh, that's a load of old you know? But actually, whether you wanna call it connecting or meet networking, connecting, meeting people, for me your fellow humans are your biggest resort to make change. And, you know, you you you you can't do any any and it's free, you know, to a certain extent. You know, it might cost you a cup of coffee or some of your five. But I've never had a wasted meeting with anybody in my five.Jackie Naghten [00:18:23]:And you always learn something. So, you know, that's what I would really encourage people to do. I don't think people realize how, how much that can impact your life.Stuart Webb [00:18:31]:I think it was a brilliant thing to say and and certainly something that I'm passing on to a number of the I do some work with some students and I do with them, and I'd give them something very similar, which is, you know, if someone if someone suggests a meeting, take the meeting, you don't know what's gonna happen. You might look at it and think, well, that would be a waste of my time, but you have no idea where it's going, who they might meet,Jackie Naghten [00:18:54]:who they might introduce. You never know. Always learn something, and I've learned, you know, probably when I was younger, I was a bit more judgmental, you know, and I've really, really learned. And that's the one thing about older age, you get a bit more wisdom and, you have hindsight. And I would say, I don't think I've ever had a wasted meeting. Because even if you don't get the outcome from the meeting that you wanted, you people. And it's a 6 degrees of separation. You know, if all somebody you've got in common somewhere, I find it quite amazing.Jackie Naghten [00:19:28]:And having been on this planet now for such a long time, and recently gone back out into the world, the world of entrepreneurs and founders, I've just been talking to somebody who has a similar background to me in corp you know, I've done corporate finance and productivity. And of course, we have you know, there's all these people we have in common. It just never ceases to fascinate me. And I think your point you make about your students, obviously, the younger generation growing up in a different digital five. And I just worry for that generation sometimes. Do they realize because they do everything on technology, maybe even on Zoom, I still would rather I mean, this is lovely to do this, but it's it's wonderful to meet people in person. It is a different experience. And I think it's really important that young people understand the power of connection, not just on a WhatsApp and through, you know, all this.Jackie Naghten [00:20:13]:You know, my my my daughters won't even take phone calls. They don't like talking on the phone. You know, it's gotta be all this. So, you know, I I do worry for the younger generation. I would think it's really important that we make sure that they do understand the power of connection.Stuart Webb [00:20:25]:I wonder if we could have another 2 and a half hours on that subject. So I better close this down before we do because I know that's something that I worry a lot about workingJackie Naghten [00:20:34]:with you. I think all of us all of us boomers, I mean, if my daughters call me that's so boomer, you know, because I've got a I've got a desk covered in paper because I write notes with a pen, and they get all of that. Such a and then she took a picture of it and said, that's such a boomer desk because I've got paper and pens on it, you know, and they don't have anything. So I think our husbands are very worried about the the young you know, they're they're they're all doing fantastically well, but there were just certain aspects that you do worry. You know?Stuart Webb [00:21:02]:I am I am very concerned at the moment about a number of people I meet that don't do the don't when I say to them, have you chatted to them about that? They go, yes. Yes. And I go, well, what did they say? And they said, well, Webb didn't say anything because we did it over text. And my immediate response is never ever managed to resolve any disputeJackie Naghten [00:21:18]:No.Stuart Webb [00:21:19]:Resolution, any negotiation over went well when you were doing emails and texts. They always needed something toJackie Naghten [00:21:25]:put the coffee in the wrong place. It's completely a different statement. You know? I mean, how I mean, I have this with my best friend all the time. You know? She doesn't pay attention when she's reading, and you you can just so misinterpret the text. You know, it just doesn't and certainly not for business.Stuart Webb [00:21:40]:I'm gonna bring this to an end before we alienate half of the young people that Five persuaded to listen to this podcast because they need to. Jackie, it's been an absolute joy to spend time with you. I really appreciate you making a few minutes to speak with us. I'm just gonna put on the screen now the link to our newsletter.

Jackie, thank you so much for spending a few minutes with us. Really appreciate you spendingJackie Naghten [00:23:00]:My pleasure.

This is the first episode of a five-part series on The Daily Coffee Pro by Map It Forward Podcast, hosted by Map It Forward founder, Lee Safar.Our guest for this series is US-based industry veteran, Madeleine Longoria Garcia. Having returned from the SCA Expo in Chicago, this series is focused on exploring 'The Conversations We're Not Having in Coffee That We Should Be Having". In this episode of the series, Madeleine and Lee have a reflective conversation on the state of the coffee industry, sparked by observations from the recent Expo in Chicago. They discuss the noticeable excess and lavish spending within the industry, questioning the sustainability and message being conveyed to the outside world when equipment manufacturers are emboldened to create 24 ct gold espresso machines while the majority of the supply chain is in crisis. Madeleine shares her experiences and concerns as a veteran in the coffee world, touching upon topics like direct trade, the cyclical nature of new and exciting industry participants, and the need for actionable change beyond conversations.

On this episode of Five Questions Over Coffee, our guest speaker, an ESG consultant focused on social impact, emphasizes the importance of managing social risks and creating long-term value. They discuss how companies need to align social impact with business objectives, examine the key areas of people, purpose, community, and supply chain, and navigate practical challenges in implementing ESG priorities. They also explore the lack of effective communication and the importance of seeking guidance from experienced ESG consultants. Our guest shares their expertise on ESG consulting, specialization, materiality assessments, and data analytics while providing a comprehensive, globally recognized framework for responsible business conduct.

Join our host and guest to hear more about managing social risks and achieving long-term value through ESG consulting.Who is Therese?Therese Baptiste is an ESG consultant who specializes in managing social risks and opportunities for her clients' products, processes, and services. She believes that a company's brand value heavily relies on its customer relationships and workforce, making it vital to manage social risks effectively. However, with no globally accepted benchmarks for social topics, it is hard to ensure consistency and comparability across ESG as a whole. Hence, companies face increasing pressure from stakeholders to display social responsibility by addressing issues related to human rights, labor practices, diversity and inclusion, community development, and customer privacy. As a consultant, Therese works with her clients to identify, prioritize, and manage social risk and opportunities aligned with their business objectives. She guides them by understanding their perspectives and developing strategies and programs to provide long-term value for multiple stakeholders, not just shareholders.Key TakeawaysTopics covered in the episode:- Overview of ESG consulting and social impact- Lack of globally accepted standards and consensus across ESG- Pressure on companies to demonstrate social responsibility- Role of ESG consultants in identifying, prioritizing, and managing social risks and opportunities aligned with business objectives- Challenges in ensuring social impact aligns with business objectives and provides long-term value for all stakeholders - Specializing in a specific area of ESG consulting and the need for materiality assessments, targets and metrics, and data analytics- Different skillsets required for analyzing the E and G aspects vs. social impact- Importance of seeking guidance or checking progress - The impact of UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights - Key areas for a company to examine, considering people, purpose, community, and supply chain- Challenges in implementing ESG priorities, including lack of clarity, difficulty in measuring and reporting ESG performance, and limited resources - Need for employee engagement and effective communication- Importance of managing social risk and creating long-term value - Failure to align social impact with business objectives and narrow, short-sighted views - Insufficient data collection and analysis toolsBullets under each topic have been provided in the main text.Valuable Free Resource or ActionConnect with Therese - https://www.linkedin.com/in/therese-baptiste-cornelis/ A video version of this podcast is available on YouTube :https://youtube.com/live/6gP28ro_axA_________________________________________________________________________________________________Subscribe to our newsletter and get details of when we are doing these interviews live at https://TCA.fyi/newsletterFind out more about being a guest at : link.thecompleteapproach.co.uk/beaguestSubscribe to the podcast at https://link.thecompleteapproach.co.uk/podcastHelp us get this podcast in front of as many people as possible.

I cannot tell you how much I'm looking forward to today's conversation. Tariff is an ESG consultant. She has got a really interesting history. Really love her history of what she's been doing. But we're not going to sort of get her to give all of her history today, her career history. But she has had some really interesting roles in Path. But she's got a really great understanding of the sustainability aspects of ESG consulting. And I really am looking forward to her describing in more detail some of that sustainability. Therese, thank you so much for spending a few minutes with us and taking your time today. I'm really looking forward to this conversation.Therese Baptiste [00:01:13]:Okay, thank you for having me.Stuart Webb [00:01:16]:And I hope you've got your coffee ready. I've got my favorite bear mug in front of me at the moment.Therese Baptiste [00:01:22]:Fresh brewed coffee served here, but it's cooked zero inside of it.Stuart Webb [00:01:27]:I love it. Listen, Deris, you help people with their ESG journey, particularly as we sort of talked about that sustainability. So who are the sort of businesses you're currently trying to help? And I know you've got some really interesting stories to tell you.Therese Baptiste [00:01:42]:Well, the thing is, for me, I really look at clients because, like I said, I do ESG consulting, but it's more of the S, the social impact. So I'm looking my clients are those who want to manage the social risk and opportunities of their product or their processes or services. And the value of most, if not all brands, I say, sits heavily in the S focused area, and that is customer relationships and your workforce. So it's easy to see how this can be getting the wrong side and can destroy a corporation's value. And what has happened is that there is yet no globally accepted. I know everyone knows about the Task Force for Climate Financial Disclosures, but there's none for social topics. And to add to this lack of comparability and consistency, the lack of the global consensus across ESG as a whole is causing a lot of problems. So what I find, companies are facing increasing pressure from stakeholders to demonstrate their social responsibility and to address issues related to what we say human rights to labor, to practices diversity and inclusion. Everyone is like, oh, we practice diversity. It's on everyone's front page of their website. To community development, truly recognizing your role in the community and customer privacy, because failure to manage these social risks effectively can lead to a reputational damage, legal and regulatory issues, and even financial losses. Okay, so again, my role would be to help my client identify, prioritize, and manage their social risk and opportunities. And there's a way I do it. And as a consultant, I will provide the guidance and the support necessary for them to achieve these goals by understanding their perspectives. So I go in, I speak to them, develop strategies and programs that align them with the company's overall business strategies. And therefore, the biggest challenge is to ensure that their social impact actually aligns with their business objectives and that they're able to manage their social risk and opportunities effectively to give long term value for all stakeholders, not just shareholders. Stakeholders?Stuart Webb [00:03:52]:Yes, stakeholders is important in that respect, isn't it? Because so often we focus on the shareholder aspect of things and forget that stakeholders involve the community, the employees, a group of people that are often neglected in many of these things.Therese Baptiste [00:04:08]:Yeah.Stuart Webb [00:04:10]:Tell me some of the mistakes that I know you have come across that people try to do in this journey that fail to really encounter and work through some of that impact that you've been talking about.Therese Baptiste [00:04:28]:Yeah. The thing is some people believe oh, I don't need an ESG consultant, I can do it myself. The mistakes are like one, focusing only on compliance so they only do what they have to do. Two, ignoring stakeholder perspectives. They don't care what the community says. Lack of integration with business strategy, insufficient data collection and analysis and failure to communicate effectively. If you wish, I can go more in detail or I can just stop there.Stuart Webb [00:04:57]:No, please give us a bit more detail because I think you've given us some really great ones there. I'm particularly concerned myself about the lack of integration with business strategy because I find so many of these there is a great deal to be said for integrating with your business strategy. And people will often just turn around and go, we've got to tick a box or let's just do something. And it's not integrated, it doesn't help to build the business. And then it does lead into a failure to communicate effectively. What can you give us in terms of pieces of advice around those subjects?Therese Baptiste [00:05:34]:Well, I'll start with the one you went with. So it's lack of integration with business strategy. What we see is that companies may view social responsibility as a separate and distinct aspect of their operations rather than an integral part of their business strategy and this can result in a failure to align social impact with business objectives and a missed opportunity to create that long term value. And I started off with focusing only on compliance. That was my first one, focusing only on compliance. Many companies, they make a mistake of focusing solely on compliance with regulations and laws related to social issues without considering the broader social impact of their operations. I mean, there are some laws that said no child labor involved and they said okay fine, no child labor. But then they go and they want to make their products in countries where child labor is the norm. So rather than saying okay fine, if we don't hire those children, someone else would and saying let's see how we can work with this law. No child labor. Really? What is the intent of that? The intent of it is really that we want children to be educated. And there are some companies who have managed to say, fine, I will hire your child. Your child can work for a maximum of 2 hours, but they must go through four or 5 hours of education per day and the company pays for it. So it's more like in the curriculum as such. Again, if you just go poopy on compliance, it can be a narrow, short sighted view, and it doesn't serve the purpose of helping the community. If we look at ignoring stakeholder perspectives, companies may fail to engage with key stakeholders such as their employees, their suppliers, their customers, and their communities to understand their perspectives and their concerns related to social issues. So they just go with what the law says they have to do. The law says, okay, fine, we must like, I saw like there were some people wanted to say, let's say 10% of your company must be diverse. If you just look at that, 10% must be diverse. Some people interpret it to be of a different race, but that is fantastic if that reflects your environment where you operate of having that percentage. Because I teased one person, I was talking to a company and they were like, yeah, that's a good thing to do. But then one person in that group was actually from a company based in Africa. So I said to him, so are you getting 10% of people there of North African descent? And he looked at me like, of course not. I said, but if you want to make this a global thing, it has to be that way. So again, we see. This can lead to a lack of understanding of the social risk and the, I say, opportunities that a company faces and the potential impact on its reputation and financial performance. Like, I tell people, yes, I understand we want to get gender inclusivity, but will I hire someone just because they're female? No, if they have the qualifications and stuff. So, I mean, don't just tick the box, really implement it. Then we talk about insufficient data collection and analysis and oh my God, we don't have the data, and we make all these assumptions. Companies may lack the necessary data collection and analysis tools which exist out there, but you have to look through to see which ones apply to you, which one are built. I always remember when I first started doing business process reengineering straight out of university back in 1994, and that was the big buzzword. And at that point they said that you need to have 99.9% no errors. And I went to a client and the client was, okay, we want to make sure that we have 99.9% no errors. And I was like, you do 100 transactions a day. In other words, you can't have any go wrong. That is what it means. You can't use that as your measuring tool. So this can lead to incomplete understanding of social risk and opportunities, making it difficult to develop strategies they must be logical and able to implement. If you come up with metrics and try to implement them without data that matches what your company does, you literally excuse the word screwing yourself out of the systems. Right?Stuart Webb [00:09:52]:I have to ask about data thing because I had a client once who told me that they were bringing some machine learning and they were going to use some data in order to improve their process. And I said, okay, so from where are you gathering this data? And they said, well, we're not gathering it yet, we're going to start gathering it. And I went, okay, when are you going to implement the machine learning having gathered the data? And they told me they were implementing machine learning at the same time. And I went, but that doesn't work because you won't have the data to train the model. And they went, oh, don't worry, we're going to make data up. And I looked and I thought, I worry about the fact that companies actually.Therese Baptiste [00:10:27]:Do think these are the thing is my problem. I come from a background of It. My first degree was mathematics and computer science. I only went on to do business studies because I couldn't speak business speak and the business people couldn't speak tech speak. So now I call myself a perfect bridge. So I can understand when the techs are trying to throw wool over your eyes and also to when the business people are asking for things that are impossible given the circumstances. And the last thing and that comes, it failure to communicate effectively. Companies fail to effectively communicate their social responsibility, efforts and impact to stakeholders. And if you don't tell people what you're doing, don't expect them to know, okay? They lead to a lack of trust and confidence in the company's commitment. It's not blowing your own horn, but recognize that I'm doing good, let them know what you're doing. Bad news travels faster. You got to keep ahead by telling them what you're doing good. So those are the kind of things I teach to companies. Keep it out there because again, when I was doing my Masters, I did technology. Yeah, why not, right? Because it was easy to continue onwards. But I took marketing and strategy as the three subjects I were looking at, simply because marketing, getting that brand, that communication out there is all strategy with technology. So I consider myself, oh yeah, I got the blend and that is what needs to go there. So you have to manage the social risk. If you want to manage it without the help of an experienced ESG consultant, you're going to end up with a piecemeal approach that fails to effectively address your company's social impact. It's crucial you seek guidance and support from experienced ESG consultant, not those who have done an ESG course. There's too many courses out there and I see people, I look in this and they say they've done a course and they're ESG consultant. They haven't even lived life yet, right? Stewart they barely have. Like you said, you can still see the baby eyes and everything, but no, they're the consultants. I've gone to meetings with other ESG consultants and then when I'm speaking, they look at me like I was like, We've lived it. Stuart like I said, as I go further, you will realize this is not something new. It's just keep new terminologies that come out, new buzzwords that come out. It's crucial companies seek the guidance of an experienced person to ensure they're managing their risk and opportunities effectively to create that long term value.Stuart Webb [00:13:00]:Because for me, one of the signs of a good consultant is not that they've done 15 implementations, but they've done twelve, and three have gone badly wrong. And they won't make those mistakes again because they don't want to live through that pain ever again. And I often say to people, when they sort of say, well, why should I hire you? And I said, I've made all the mistakes so you won't have to. And that's the secret of being a good consultant, is to turn around and be honest and say, I've made enough mistakes that I now know what not to do. And I'll make sure you don't actually make those mistakes because I don't want to have to live through that experience ever again. You were talking then about some great ways of helping people to understand sort of some of these things. And I know you've got a really valuable free piece of advice, which I'm just going to show at the bottom of the screen. So can you talk to us about this valuable piece of free advice that.Therese Baptiste [00:13:54]:You'Ve sort of yeah, because you were asking me in our little talk before about what valuable resource people can go to because not everyone, I agree, can afford to hire an ESG consultant. Do I have to admit to Raspberries.com I'm not that expensive compared to the others from the so called firms who really inflate their cost? Okay. One valuable free resource I can recommend to people looking to manage is the Global Reporting Initiative Standards. The link is there for you that Stuart has given you. It provides for you a framework for companies to report on their sustainability performance. It provides guidance on how to report on a range of social issues because you have to report on your labor practices, on your human rights. Yeah, your human rights. What are you doing to the people in your company, people around people around the world? Diversity and inclusion, community engagement, customer privacy, GDPR and data security. Okay. Because those are things you look at. Even as far as passwords. I mean, just today I got a message from someone showing me according to how many words and characters in my password, how long it will take a hacker to hack. Okay? So now I have realized I need to develop a 14 word password. 14 words. I used to have eight or 914 words password with numbers lowercase and so on, and then it will take them some years. Other than that, it was five minutes, so I thought I was good. But apparently now the hackers are getting better. So by following the Gir standards, companies can ensure they're collecting and reporting on relevant data and information related to their social impact. Okay? Because remember, we have a lot of stuff about the climate and I could go on Stewart about green washing, but that's not my area. Just like this green washing, there's a lot of social washing pretending to care for people. Okay? The GI standards are a valuable free resource because they're publicly available and can be used by any company regardless of size or industry. Okay? It's widely recognized if you use it, companies can improve their understanding on their social impact and skills, develop strategies and programs. It can help them create long term value. But like I said, it's always best still to get. You don't have to get an ESG consultant like myself to manage the entire project, but it's normally helps when you start in guidelines or to check in on what your people are doing. Is it on your right path because you don't want to wait till 2025 when everyone's supposed to be ready to realize, I did it on my own and I did it wrong. Like when you baked that cake that you never followed in directions for, but you saw it in a book and you figured everything was there, which never is, and your cake doesn't come out the way it's supposed to and you only find out when you serve it to the guest. You don't want to do that.Stuart Webb [00:16:48]:Yeah, they'll help you make sure you never make those mistakes again because nobody wants to live through those sort of mistakes, do they, Teresa? No. There must have been a concept that you came across which really fired you up towards sort of this passion you've got for the social impact that your enterprise can have. What is it? What do you recommend that we read or get into in order to be able to understand and get into the passion that you've got for the subject?Therese Baptiste [00:17:21]:Well, then we are going back to one of my positions. I held, not tooting my own horn. I was my country's UN ambassador based in Geneva, and I was on the UNHCR committee. And that was when I was first exposed to the UN guiding principles on business and human rights. And I was like, literally, I was a business lecturer at university and I had not been exposed to how in depth this was. People have sat down and developed this. There are set of international standards that provide guidance to companies on how to respect human rights in their operations and supply chains. Okay. The Guiding Principles establish responsibility of companies to respect human rights, the need for companies to conduct due diligence to identify and address human rights. This sounds familiar, right? This is all what ESG and all these things are saying. This existed before the importance of providing access to effective remedies for human rights violations. I mean, I was so much into it when I was recently lecturing at a local university based in Belgium. We had students in final year, and one of the topics I had my students research was human rights. And at the beginning, they were like, human rights business. And then they saw the major impact and they saw the linkages. They had never seen that document. And it was so great to see these students dwell into it and develop research looking at technology and human rights. And for a senior ESG consultant focused on the S in ESG, I would say the UN Guiding Principles provides a comprehensive, globally recognized framework. It incorporates if you look at the ESG consultants, we help clients develop and impact human rights policies. Right. We see right now there's a lot of confusion with is EU policies for human rights for ESG really focused on the correct thing, or is it what looks good for the finances and people don't realize? The UN Guiding Principles has been implemented and is the key thing for responsible business conduct. It has been used by OECD in guidelines for their multinational enterprises. It has been used by IOL for their triparty. Declaration of Principles Concerning Multinational Enterprises and Social Policy It has also been used ISO 26,000 for guidance and social responsibility. It has been a transformative concept in ESG. And that's why I go back to her to say in ESG, it's coming from there. Okay, so, yeah, I was a UN ambassador back in 2011, 2012. So it sounds over 1112 years ago, I've been in this sustainability thing. I even served as the vice president on the UN Forum of Sustainability Standards. I was like the only diplomat at that time because I was a diplomat. I had been a minister of health. Yeah. Another thing, a politician. I've been an academic, had been in business. So they wanted that kind of background to see because to give that Holistic approach. And it provides what we consider to be a framework for managing social risk and opportunities related helping establish global standards. Because as I said in the beginning, there's nothing out there ready. There's no agreed on global principles. We don't have someone like Bloomberg, who is the head of the Task Force for Climate Financial Disclosures pushing on the social impact. We need someone to take that mantle and push on it, someone high profile who people respect the social impact. Okay? And we see that what we call the UNGPs. The UN guiding principles has helped develop the S component.Stuart Webb [00:21:01]:Ask you the first question before I do, I'm just going to suggest I know there are a couple of people watching at the moment. I'm just going to ask, if people do have questions, please post them in the chat. And I can ask them. Theresa now, because she's got some really valuable experience and as you've heard, she has a sort of background of taking a lot of input from politics to social impact and working with the UN. And some of that might give you what might give you problems. I know that I wouldn't want to do half of those things, but it might provide a lot of opportunities for people to say so if there are questions. But whilst we're just doing that, I'm just going to pose the final question that I've got for you, Teresa.Therese Baptiste [00:21:50]:It's an easy one. It's going to be an easy one.Stuart Webb [00:21:55]:I always use this question in order to sort of not have to do too much work. So it's quite honest. I have been asking you some questions, you've been having to answer them, but there must be a question which I haven't answered, which you would like me to answer. So what would you like me to have said? What question would you like me to have asked you, which I haven't yet? And obviously you have to answer it.Therese Baptiste [00:22:19]:Thank you. I would say you should have asked, what are the key areas for a company to examine who's looking to consistently meet the requirements and expectations of their stakeholders? Now, I'm going to answer that. I have two questions, actually, but that's my first one. I would think they would have to look at people. Yeah, why not? We must. People can't do math, people purpose, community and supply chain. Those are the four key areas, I would say people, because the pandemic something like don't Ranch on the pandemic again, Ms Matisse, the pandemic has changed the way we work. And with more working from home, it has shone the light on people's. Wellbeing, it really has. Therefore, companies will need to communicate clearly what staff support is going to be available. And there's also a job to close the gap between those at the top of the workforce and the millennials. The millennials are willing to grasp, want to work in at home. We still have some of the older people that believe, if I don't see you, you're not working. And again, I was never that way. I mean, even when I worked at a bank, I always told people I worked at the bank and I had younger I shouldn't say younger, older people underneath me. Right. But they consider themselves younger. But my logic was I didn't check what time they came in or what time they left. I gave them an assignment. They could come in one day every week, but if that assignment was finished, good, because I don't believe in watching every hour, because some people work very good quickly and then need a time off, right? And the FRC Reporting Lab has released what they call useful guidelines on workforce reporting including the importance of workforce engagement. Okay? And engagement doesn't mean because they're working from home, having nonstop meetings online. That's not it. If we look again at purpose, I think it's businesses need to create value, okay? Don't assume you're creating value and address these issues. Investors, because ESG came about primarily to make people invest in your companies. Okay? Everybody knows it's money. Everything is not going to be done unless there's money to be seen in it. And investors want to see companies believe in something and more than ever link the purpose and trust is dominant. It's a key requirement and I think it's also in your UK corporate governance code, key to building trust. It is essential for companies to think about demonstrating how their purpose drives what they do and the impact they have. The third thing I said was community businesses should be able to demonstrate how they tend to support or add value. So you need to look at that and supply chain, consider your ecosystem. And again, I remind, I mean, most people here wouldn't know, but there are some people who think that ecosystem talks only about trees and the forest. Ecosystem is the area of the businesses operating. And we say of your business, who you are to be an employee versus a contractor. Who do you want as your employee? Which ones can you say? Okay, I don't need this person as an employee, I need them as freelance. I give them opportunities to have other projects because that is sometimes why in your supply chain you have to look at do I need someone nonstop or do I need someone for projects? Because there are people willing to a lot of people are realizing the value of being a freelancer, okay? It's given them that control over their lives. They all have an impact on your brand and reputation because again, if you take someone just as a contractor as opposed to an employee, you don't again have full control and again what they do can impact on you and we talk about all those issues. And your business only operates well if all parts are healthy. Okay? So that comes back to my Minister of Health part. Everything needs to be healthy working together. Nothing can be a silo on its own. Okay? And a question that would have opened up more. My 6th thing is what do I see as the biggest challenge for companies to effectively integrate ESG considerations and how can they overcome this?Stuart Webb [00:26:33]:Well, I've asked you that but I didn't want you to feel under any pressure, honestly.Therese Baptiste [00:26:38]:I know because again, when I thought about it, I said if I answer this, that might reduce the need for them to hire terrestrial.com, right? Should I put that question? Because then it will have all the ESG consultants about how we support companies in this process. But I'm going to be honest and I'll just give you the four things. The several practical challenges that companies face is lack of clarity and consensus on their ESG priorities. There's a lack of clarity and consensus. There is difficulty in measuring and reporting on ESG performance and again that is where I do advise you to bring in someone who can make that so much simpler for you. I always tell people stick to what you're good at okay? Too many people are just taking ESG reporting and saying hey that's your job and throwing people into the wind and then wondering why it's taking so long, why it's not getting done. Okay? Limited resources and capacity if you have limited resources and capacity in your company recognize that. Put those limited resources and capacity where it makes money for your company and hire another resource to deal with it. And I go back to for instance when I lived in Trinidad and my husband and I had our company called Cornells and Associates. I used to really find it. It was strategic but it was funny. At the same time we were being hired by a leading accounting company to run their website. We were being hired by them to develop a strategic plan for them. Meanwhile they were hiring their consultants out to people to develop website. And I said to the managing partner I said you know something you not hire me because I'm that better than your employees but you can get more money from sending them out than I would charge you. And he says you know and I said yeah because I work for you I know what rate you charge thing but I don't charge that to you. So they can get me for 50% of what they would charge. So they make a lot more money off of it. But then they know that is it limited resources. They need something done. They want an outside perspective someone with a clean with no bias in it. And that is a problem if you take too many internal people to do that reporting they may have an internal bias, they may have it and they don't see anything wrong with the way it is operating now. So it can easily fix the report to say all is okay but then when the audit comes you're going to be in problems when the audit comes because what is reported is not true. And again be careful of the internal silos and your resistance to change. As people we don't like change.Stuart Webb [00:29:29]:Owners directors who spend a lot of their time doing things actually they ought to get other people to do partly because it's more effective and they pull a bigger growth lever by getting on and doing something which produces better results. But also because their internal bias means that they make decisions based upon what their gut tells them and their gut is often. Very wrong. It doesn't involve the right data. They haven't collected the data. So they go on what they think is the right thing. And I see a lot of decisions being taken by people who don't have the data but have decided to. As I sort of said before, they guessed what they think it will be, and they end up making a lot of mistakes, largely because they haven't brought somebody in from the outside who's able to take a fresh view. And just look at it and go. But it's obvious because I can see things here that you can't see because you're inside looking out. And I've come in from the outside so often. We do need to have that perspective of somebody who can just take a fresh view. Theresa, I just want to ask one question. We've had one question from Mark Thomas. I think it's a really interesting one that I would love you to just give. And perhaps you need to link with Mark Thomas outside of this, but can you just give him two minutes? And I don't want to take up too much more of your valuable time, because I know you have actually got a lot of things you want to try and do today, but what advice do you have for a graduate who wants to get into this field? And I think encouraging young people into this field is absolutely critical to the future.Therese Baptiste [00:30:56]:Yeah. And the thing is, one of these main things is if you're going into the field of ESG consulting, then you really have an interest in sustainability. Okay? It's not just finance, it's sustainability. The UN has a lot of sustainability courses to give you that background, the connections of it, not just the financial part, depending on your angle, which one is more for you? Are you one for environment? Are you one for social impact? Or you want for governance? Because the problem is when people try to say, I'm an ESG consultant of all, okay, because that is where it's problematic. So I would say Mark Thomas, because if you go out and you have to help them conduct materiality assessments, okay, you have to help them set clear targets and metrics. You have to help them do data analytics. So if you will, I see you see background in financial computing will understand I wouldn't see you doing more the social impact, but you can analyze it and do the comparison, but I definitely see you more in looking at the E and the G would be for somebody in finance. So, again, understanding sustainability and what it means, it doesn't just mean, okay, I don't use disposable, I don't do this. It's really understanding how these things interact, realizing that there is no perfect utopia that we want to create. If we create this perfect utopia, we are creating it for a few people because you can't get rid of everybody goes electric cars and stuff like that. So you're going in there with an understanding that you can't fix their problems, but you can help them understand their problems. And that is what a graduate needs to do. Okay, brilliant.Stuart Webb [00:32:48]:Theresa, you broke up a little bit on that question, but I think we absolutely got the spirit of it. And if people want to sort of get a message to you afterwards, I'd encourage you to please post them into this post on LinkedIn YouTube. We will get them to Theresa. She's just fond of knowledge and so much enthusiasm. Theresa, I want to thank you so much for this time you've spent with us. It's been brilliant. I really, really have enjoyed it. I hope everybody watching has enjoyed it. I'm just going to leave you with the one final link on this, which is if you want to get onto the newsletter list so that you get notification of this thing coming up. Coming up in the next few weeks. I would encourage you to just go onto this link, which is link thecompletroach Co UK newsletter that's link thecompleetproach Co UK newsletter that will get you onto our newsletter list. We send out a newsletter which basically says who's coming onto the podcast so you can join our questions, get them answered by people like theres Mark Thomas. I hope that's been useful to you. When you get advice from somebody as knowledgeable and ingrained in this and is so much of an expert, you can't get better advice. Theresa, thank you so much for spending a few minutes with us. Really appreciate it. My pleasure, everybody. I just really appreciate the amount of time that we've had Therese on today. I hope you have, too.

The last few years have seen dramatic growth in the popularity of these extremist groups. How will they affect society in the future?In this episode, Jessica is joined by Doctors Ben Rich and Eva Bujalka, Co-directors of the Curtin Extremism Research Network (CERN). Together, they explain how these three different groups share some commonalities, as they are emblematic of growth in social media use, salad bar ideologies and red pill philosophy. They also address why it is problematic to brand people from these groups as “violent” when most are nonviolent and predict whether these groups are here to stay or if new extremist groups will take their place.CERN is a new research network based in Western Australia that is investigating extremism-related challenges in the developed world. Origins of the COVID anti-vax movement, incels (“involuntary celibates”) and QAnon [01:10]Unpacking the intersecting philosophical and ideological beliefs [05:14]Why current approaches to treating people from these groups may have backfired, and what we should be doing instead [09:01]Where these beliefs are heading and why they have salience [20:51]Discussing CERN's vision and what's next [27:56]Learn moreCurtin Extremism Research Network websiteCurtin Extremism Research Network Twitter profileRTRFM: Curtin Extremism Research Network seriesCurtin: New Curtin research network tackles growing issue of extremismCurtin: Combatting extremist violence in Australia: Curtin launches into actionConnect with our guestsDr Ben Rich is a senior lecturer in Curtin University's School of Media, Creative Arts and Social Inquiry (MCASI) and a Co-director of CERN, alongside Drs Eva Bujalka and Francis Russell.His research focuses on the rise of the Western Far Right, non-terrorist extremist ideologies in Australia and the West, and the role of ontological (state of being) insecurity in forming politically extreme views. Dr Rich's staff profileThe Future Of: Political Extremism, featuring Dr Ben Rich and Michael WieteskaThe Future Of: Geographical Borders, featuring Drs Ben Rich and Donna ButoracDr Eva Bujalka is an academic and creative writer who works within Curtin University's School of MCASI and is a Co-director of CERN.Her research focuses on incels, the growth of anti-feminist discourse and the ‘Manosphere' – a collective of online groups that wish to rebuild the patriarchy, improve men's capacity for self-improvement and solve today's masculinity ‘crisis'.Dr Bujalka's staff profileJoin Curtin UniversityThis podcast is brought to you by Curtin University.

In this episode I talk about an issue my clients regularly discuss with me…not feeling good enough. This can take different forms, such as feeling they don't deserve to make a lot of money, or believing they are simply not qualified enough to earn a lot of money.Key TakeawaysThe first step to overcoming these feelings of not being good enough is to understand where it has developed from. Often these feelings are based on our own subconscious beliefs that have been internalised during childhood.Beliefs are based on experiences, or our interpretation of experiences from our younger years. They're not always based on facts, but on our own interpretation of experiences.Once able to identify the source of beliefs, we put ourselves in the ideal position to question and challenge them.When you start seeing yourself as someone who was worthy of success, you will be amazed at what you'll be able to achieve.You have to go through some pain in order to really lean away from old beliefs that you want to let go off, and what new beliefs you want to lean intoWe can choose to give energy to negativity, or we can choose to create something out of positivityThe art of the possible is absolutely possible. The main thing to remember is by being consistent and persistent about creating a set of beliefs that serve you, by creating the evidence that you are worthy of everything you want, and creating the goals and plan and taking actionConnect with meFREE Resources www.lesleyathomas.com/resources/My website www.lesleyathomas.comJoin my Facebook Group www.facebook.com/groups/moneyconfidencecommunityFollow me on Instagram www.instagram.com/lesleythomascoaching/Connect with me on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/lesley-thomas Hosted on Acast.
