“Blue state pension funds are doubling down on sustainability while red state pension funds are firing you. Companies are challenged because for some constituencies, they have to demonstrate their sustainability credentials, and for others, they have to hide them. So it's a really challenging time. But if you can demonstrate the business case, then maybe you can navigate being more proactive with those constituencies that really want this, and alleviating the risks with those constituencies that don't understand why it matters.” Tensie Whelan on Electric Ladies Podcast Mother Nature isn't waiting for politics to catch up – business leaders know it. Building companies that stand the test of time and create lasting value for their stakeholders, no matter which way the political winds blow, is the true measure of strategy and vision. Listen to Tensie Whelan, Founding Director of the NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business. Drawing on extensive research across a range of industries from consumer goods to agriculture, Tensie speaks to Joan about how businesses can strengthen the financial case for sustainability and enhance their communications. You'll hear about: The nine key factors that drive financial value through sustainability. How to build a strong business case for sustainability. What effective sustainability messaging looks like. Plus, career advice for mid-career women in sustainability or those looking to break into the field.  “If you're working strictly in a business function, but would like to have more impact, see if you can work for a business who's doing some innovative work around sustainability. The sustainability team is always looking for partners. So there's an opportunity for you to get more experience and over time, potentially parlay your job into more sustainability work. Secondly, you could get on a board, a non-profit board that does a lot of work on environmental or just sustainability with corporates. “My whole career, I've advanced [because] I've always seen where the holes were, how to look at problem with an opportunity mindset and volunteer to attack that opportunity and be willing to take a risk to do that and feel comfortable, which women struggle with at times.” Tensie Whelan on Electric Ladies Podcast You'll also like: Alison Ward, CEO of CottonConnect, on how female farmers are transforming cotton.

“I've been particularly passionate about working with women in those communities to teach them about new techniques so they can understand how to run their farm more effectively, but also understand their rights as women in those communities so they have a stronger voice…. And because they were called an ‘ambassador,' their status in the village rose.” Alison Ward on Electric Ladies Podcast Have you ever wondered where your shirt really comes from, or where the cotton in your jeans was grown? While the tag might tell you where they were made, it won't tell you where the cotton came from. And that matters. Cotton is everywhere but this vital crop is now facing serious threats from climate change. Women farmers are transforming it. One organization is working to change that. CottonConnect is training female cotton farmers in eco-friendly, climate-resilient farming practices – and tracking it.  Listen to Alison aWard, CEO of CottonConnect on Electric Ladies Podcast with Joan Michelson and learn about the significant yet under recognized role of women in cotton farming. You'll hear about: How climate change is hitting female farmers the hardest. The ways CottonConnect is bringing transparency to the cotton supply chain. Innovative solutions in cotton farming, including a role played by the European Space Agency. How CottonConnect is empowering women and transforming communities. Plus, career advice for women navigating career transitions. “If you can combine something you're passionate about with something you're good at, and you can make that into a career, that is success. Find other women that will be prepared to give back to help careers and connect. We have a Women in CottonConnect group where we are really looking at how we can advance women in our organization.   “Not everything has to be an enormous career step. When I joined CottonConnect, it was a relatively small organization that has since grown into a much larger one. But it was something I was passionate about, and I've been fortunate to have a great team and great advisors around me.”  Alison Ward on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan's Forbes articles here.

Room Next Door Man, Michael Spicer, charts his real-life progress to global internet stardom. However, this rags to riches story is still lacking in riches so Michael has accepted a promotion at work and continues to plug away on Twitter. We re-join the story in December 2019 on a family swimming trip that is as damp and disappointing as Michael's comedy career to date, but the impending general election coverage provides an opportunity for media attention. Meanwhile, an office workshop led by Conservative-supporting, communications guru Benjamin Cruz (Sanjeev Bhaskar) provides extra stress. Cruz thinks Michael's comedy should be more politically balanced, something the BBC echoes by interrupting the episode to ensure Michael is performing with total impartiality. To further fuel Michael's anxiety, his wife Roberta wants him to stuff the day job and go on tour - with her as his full-time manager. Can Michael seize the day while also holding onto the job that pays his mortgage? Cast: Michael Spicer with Ellie Taylor, Joanna Neary, Jamie Borthwick, Alison Ward, Greig Johnson, Jason Forbes, Peter Curran, and guest starring Sanjeev Bhaskar Writer: Michael Spicer Producer: Matt Tiller A Starstruck and Tillervision Production for BBC Radio 4

Representing 75% of all cotton farmers, and with the livelihoods of 350 million people at stake, working with smallholders in particular leads to gains for brands and everyone in the value chain. The keys are helping farmers to diversify their crops, and gain access to markets and finance. For more content like this subscribe to the Innovation Forum newsletter here

This week I am talking to Alison Ward about her book 'Reluctantly Psychic: True Stories of Awakenings and Soul Purpose'. The book is split into different sections starting off with: Being an empath followed by stories of empaths' journeys, animal communications - three stories about having a strong connection with animals. The Magic of Miracle stories will blow you away and get you thinking: "Am I reluctantly psychic?", OBE's (out of body experiences) that often freak us out but are often signs of being from another planet or simply being looked after by our deceased loved ones. We have a finding soul mates section where amongst the authors finding their soul's purpose in life, they also find their soul mates. We then go on to the healing journey where new skills and understandings are awakened. We then finish off with the largest section, awakenings, and finding the soul's purpose. You will notice, so many stories over-lap and all of the 44 authors are now living their soul's purpose doing things they love and sharing their gifts with the world. This book will help reduce the stigma of being psychic. Do you experience synchronicities, coincidences, déjà vu, and find yourself asking, ‘Is there more to life?' Then this is the book for you! Your soul is nudging you to wake up to your innate gifts – the psychic gifts you were born with that you may have forgotten. Your hidden toolbox is waiting to be opened. Read this book and ask yourself, ‘Am I reluctantly psychic?' You, dear ONE, are here to make a difference and to shine. Stand up. Be psychic. Be proud! Reluctantly Psychic is a collaboration comprising 44 stories of Awakenings and soul purpose, from men and women who have come together to stand up and declare they are psychic and proud. This book is a miracle conceived and created in just 16 days of lockdown in 2020. https://reluctantlypsychic.co.uk/ https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/the-past-lives-podcast https://www.patreon.com/pastlivespodcast

Cotton Connect's Alison Ward and Infor's Kurt Cavano talk with Innovation Forum's Ian Welsh about how companies can benefit from the latest supply chain mapping innovations. There are many benefits of supplier mapping, but what are the key elements in an efficient mapping process? Ward and Cavano discuss how transparency makes supply chains – particularly in the apparel sector – more personal and helps companies take real ownership of their supply chains. They discuss the models that work and how they can be taken to scale, and the technology that can take things forward. There are lessons that can be applied across different sectors – and some typical characteristics that typify the companies that want to drive change while becoming more efficient and better businesses.
