Podcasts about australian businesswomen

As you will have heard on previous episodes with Sandra Milligan, Yong Zhao, folks from Mastery Transcript Consortium and Rethinking Assessment, standardised tests and assessments are often one of the biggest barriers to change in education as these credentials and school-leaving certificates often hold the key that opens up the next door or higher education for many young people. This week I'm so excited to share an amazing success story of someone who decided that this compromise was just unacceptable for their young people.  Viv White AM is CEO and co-founder (with John Hogan) of Big Picture Learning Australia (BPLA) - https://www.bigpicture.org.au/ - a non-profit company established in Australia in 2006. Building on the work started by Dennis Littky and Elliot Washor in the US in 1995 (https://www.bigpicture.org/), Big Picture Learning Australia's design for personalised, student-driven learning is being implemented in over 50 schools around Australia. Viv has also pioneered a new non-ATAR credential known as the International Big Picture Learning Credential (IBPLC) that is warranted by the University of Melbourne, and accepted by 17 universities around Australia. In 2018 Viv was appointed to the Order of Australia for her services to education and to the reengagement of young people in learning for life. Prior to leading BPLA, Viv was CEO of the Victorian Schools Innovation Commission and CEO of the Australian National Schools Network. She has a thirty-year history of international work in educational reform, research, policy and practice. Viv taught primary and secondary education for 13 years, worked in tertiary research for five years as a research fellow at Macquarie University and Victoria University, and served as an adjunct professor at the University of Western Sydney. Viv is a Fellow of the Australian Council of Education and was admitted, in 2014, to the Australian Businesswomen's Network Hall of Fame.

In episode nine of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Watts sits down with Kate Morris, the founder of Adore Beauty.Regardless of whether or not you have a vested interested in beauty, there is something you can learn from listening to Kate. It was in 1999 that she launched Adore Beauty, an online beauty store, in a time when the internet itself still felt new, let alone e-commerce. Kate had to really work to convince brands that online shopping was the next big thing and used that as an opportunity to craft something she now believes is one of her most defining characteristics- turning the word “no” into a resounding “yes.” Today, with the business worth over 30 million dollars, Kate is one of only 10 women on the AFR Young Rich List. She was the first ever female recipient of the Online Retailer’s Industry Recognition Award for her service to gender diversity and has won both a Telstra Young Businesswoman of the Year title and an Australian Businesswomen’s Network Hall of Fame award. In this conversation, Kate discusses what she calls the “democratisation of beauty”, her work for the gender equality movement and the increased demand for authenticity, honesty and transparency in the beauty industry.

In this episode I chat with Kate Morris, the founder of Adorebeauty.com.au, Australia’s longest-running online beauty store. In this chat we discuss how she disrupted the beauty industry with Australia’s first ecommerce store; the struggles of growing and scaling a business; overcoming rejection – she had quite a bit of that in the early days - and putting the customer at the heart of everything she does. On a personal note, Kate is extremely down to earth and humble about her success. She’s won countless awards, including Telstra Young Businesswoman of the Year, the Industry Recognition Award for online retail AND she been inducted into the Australian Businesswomen’s Network Hall of Fame. She’s also a gender equality activist and is passionate about empowering women and driving change. She lives and breathes her values and is happy to ‘fight for what’s important. You do it for your daughters, sisters, colleagues’. I absolutely loved interviewing Kate and I hope you enjoy this interview as much I did.

Podcasting has been getting a bit of positive press of late as the public catches on to the advantages of listening to audio-on-demand. Entrepreneur Suzi Dafnis has been podcasting since 2010 and regularly produces two shows - herBusiness and Social Media for Small Business - under the banner of her business, the Australian Businesswomen's Network. In this chat with Trevor Young, Suzi discusses why podcasting is a powerful way to get your message across and demonstrate your knowledge and expertise. She also provides tips and strategies for those thinking of starting a podcast as part of their content marketing program.

This show is about how important it is to know yourself before you build your brand or your marketing strategy. It is based around an article I had published in the Australian Businesswomen's Network online magazine in April. Here is the snap shot: Look at the values that you live your life by and ask yourself: Are you using these in your business? Are you being true to your inner core beliefs? If so, how can you action these even more fully so they make a real different to your staff and customers everyday? Building this culture, this underlying feeling, buzz, atmosphere, that is so hard to replicate, is integral to building your brand and attracting your ideal customers. Building your small business should start with you. It has to. Understanding you and your values and then building your business from that core base. It is these attributes that inevitably shape your brand. For my full article visit my blog. If you loved this episode please let us know and review us on Itunes!
