Today, we talk with Matt Bennetto, Operations Manager at LinkForce. Joining us again is Rosie Allen from Rosie Allen Consulting, Mining Engineer and proud WASM graduate from the class of 2009. In this podcast we take a dive into diversity and how Western Australias largest shutdown business encourages diversity. Fun fact: 70% of employees at LinkForces Central Perth offices are female! Episode Timeline: Diversity Program [00:50] We have developed a program called LTGo Program, it’s an eight-week course with tickets and certifications for individuals that may not have the connection, ability, or opportunity to work. We give everyone the opportunity, even if you are white, indigenous, Asian, male, female, etc. [01:32] LinkForce has always taken the approach of recruiting future graduates in mechanical engineering, structural engineering, etc. with female engineers as my priority. Qualifications [02:09] With more than a thousand applicants, only 2% of females had applied for structural, civil, and mechanical engineering. Females are known for their attention to detail and drive that fits to our industry. Personal achievements are not enough to succeed, circumstances of diversity are just as important to be motivated. Priming Young & Gifted People [04:22] Teens already made a decision about their interest before they get to high school and enrolling at a university. Companies are starting to realize that having a diverse workplace should be addressed at the root level. [07:01] Curtains opens up to these gifted children. Many companies organize flights for a bootcamp. [09:32] It creates buzz for them. Seeing adults working in action at a large scale creates excitement for them. With technology and the aspects happening in the mining industry, the world is their oyster. Introducing your Work to your Child [10:56] Seeing your children watch with excitement, the question is how do you promote it to them? There are many career opportunities in Western Australia; geology, metallurgy, mining, engineering, surveying, fabrication—data and coding in the next decade. Key Quotes: [04:58 – 05:04] “Whether you have a son or daughter, they always want to be like their parents.” [03:04 – 03:14] “Regardless if you are a male or female, you always challenge yourself to be better at something.” Connect with Rosie through her socials: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosie-allen-consulting Connect with Matt through his socials: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-bennetto-a580a899/ Learn more about Link Force at: Website: https://www.linkforce.com.au/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/linkforce-engineering/
In this episode, we have invited Matt Bennetto, Operations Manager of Linkforce. He worked on and supported some of WA's largest projects and companies Chevron Gorgon load-out facility, Christmas Creek, Utah Point, KCGM to name a few, with success and efficiencies improved every time. Matt understands reliability, communication, transparency but most of all honesty, which has assisted greatly throughout my career. Today, Matt talks all about shutdowns; his experiences, how he manages his people and leadership. Shutdown during the pandemic [01:22] With current situations relating to COVID, Matt and his company had to work closely with state and federal government to make sure that proper protocols are followed, like social distancing. As well as working closely with BHP, who were instrumental in coordinating and organizing everything from the information packs prior to attendance, coordinating multiple planes, and multiple buses to carry people. They had four meetings a day, with all the contractors as well as the morning client, and the key decision makers. These are then reported through to the federal government and state government of how they were managing it. Managing people [03:26] Matt work with a very large workforce, it is diverse and has different personalities. Leadership is key to any business, and it always sets a tone of culture, performance, and attitude. He thinks that Linkforce has a very strong and solid culture. From that, it runs into the leadership that are on site. Not everyone gets along in life, and there are different personalities but each of their leadership is significantly similar in that some may have stronger empathy than others. Matt believes in a leadership that cares and has passion for what they do. Because they are people driven business. Empathy is the most important thing. Good workplace culture [06:40] Matt thinks that what creates a good workplace culture is honesty, integrity, support, and ensuring that, at the end of the day, if you say something you stand by that having everyone's ability to voice their opinion in the company is very important. As wells as working with people that have similar passions, that operates or is pulling in the same direction as you. He has may similarities with his people wherein they come from a rural background, so they have similar interests like being early morning risers, the fencing all day, or cattle mastering or working in the cattle yards, etc. Attitude towards failure and mistakes [07:37] Matt shares that their business is people driven, they make mistakes. It's just how people own it and accept it. They have a very close leadership in their business where they monitor all sorts of aspects of whether it's a safety incident, or if we're seeing a trend, or if we're seeing sort of behaviors that could be coming from them as leaders. Software development [10:47] Their company developed a software because there needed to be an ability to measure and monitor how people are operating in shutdown. To reduce the time of meeting with a client and having one key leader talking to the client directly, and where you need your frontline leaders to be monitoring the field, so that there are no delays of time of where they actually need to be. Because of this, not only can they show the client the areas where they can potentially improve, but it also drives an improvement in their business. [13:05] The software was developed purely for something that has a timeline. So, everything that Matt and his people do each day at work, they are coordinated, one task flows to the next task because of this. They could be backfilling or working on the pace plan, looking at the pressures, and all of that will be in a timeline directed by either the client, the company, or the contractor.

Catherine Bennetto's laugh out loud romantic comedies deal with the “Bridget Jones” dilemmas of contemporary life – unexpected pregnancies, failed love affairs – have been praised by critics for their wit, charm and freshness. Hello there, I'm your host Jenny Wheeler and today Catherine talks about the darker side of rom com, working on top TV shows, and marrying your best friend. Six things you'll learn from this Joys of Binge Reading episode: Why Catherine writes what she likes to readGetting started in TVIn favour of marrying your best friendNo pink fluff ! The darker side of romanceThe last book series she binge readOn going to work in a bikini Where to find Catherine Bennetto: Website: https://www.catherinebennetto.com/ Twitter: @cathbennetto Facebook: @catherine.bennetto.3 What follows is a "near as" transcript of our conversation, not word for word but pretty close to it, with links to important mentions. Jenny: Was there a “Once Upon A Time' moment when you decided you must write fiction or you would have somehow let yourself down, or not completed something you were meant to do? And if so what was the catalyst for it? Catherine Bennetto - fresh rom com Catherine: No, I actually can't remember a time when I didn't write because I remember my first book, if you could call it a book that I wrote. I think I was about nine or ten and even though I'd always written, I'd written poems. I've got scraps of paper that my grandma has kept, when I wrote things for her when I was six and seven and I just always knew I wanted to write a book. But I didn't actually sit down to go 'Now I'm going to write a novel' until I wanted to be a bit older. So I went into television and did all of that, knowing that I would always write a book because I had always written. I just wanted to be a bit more worldly and write with a bit more authority rather than completely make it up. So I started - I can't remember how old I was, in my thirties - and that's when I felt mature enough that I could actually write with authority on what I wanted to write on. But no, I was always, always going to write a book. Rom Coms a natural choice Jenny: You've published two well received rom coms aimed – dare I say it – fairly squarely at Gen Y and Gen X readers. Was it a case of writing what you like to read - more strategic? What made you decide on rom coms as your genre? How Not to Fall In Love Actually Catherine: No, it definitely wasn't just strategic. If there are people out there who can do that, then they must be brilliant. But no, I write what I actually can write I think and also what I like to read. I like to read everything but I lean towards things definitely with comedy. I think even when I write things with a dark subject matter they come out a bit flippant and I can't seem to help myself. So now I write what I like and I never worried whether anybody was going to like it or read it. I wrote it squarely for myself and it's just amazing that it got published. Jenny: Your debut novel was How Not to Fall in Love Actually. A play on the much-loved movie Love Actually – and your heroine worked in TV. That was easy for you – because that's what you did too, isn't it? Getting started in TV Catherine: Yes, I've worked in TV since I was 22, I think, so in that book she's got my exact job. Behind the scenes TV is so funny and so nuts and full of so many odd characters. You've got so many different people from different walks of life trying to make the same thing. I just had to write something that was sort of semi-based 'behind the scenes' because I had such a wonderful time working in television and everybody was quite nuts. So that was pretty fun. NZ's popular soap - Shortland Street Jenny: And the little mentions about getting the different extras that have to fill different roles, there's a real comedy with all of that as well. Catherine: Yes,
This week we head to the appendix of our encyclopaedia of heroic failure and talk about some stone cold heroes. Way back in early 2017 we talked about the worst board games, fairy tales, professional wrestlers, TV comedies and first dates - now Ben and Barry return to the scene of the crimes to laud some champions. On our way we uncover the real story behind Beauty and the Beast, why Calvin Coolidge was a hit with the ladies and laud a big, battle-scarred bear with a scabby heart of gold.

It will be exclusively available to buy from the BF website until September 30th 2017, and on general sale after this date. A brand new boxset of four adventures, featuring monsters from the new series of Doctor Who! Night of the Vashta Nerada by John Dorney Funworld was set to be the happiest planet in the galaxy. A planet of joy, of euphoria, of laughter and delight. Except construction was marred by reports of a predator and then, a few days before opening, all communication ceased. Owner Georgia Donnelly is desperate to open the resort and has hired Amanda Steele's crew to find out what happened on the planet. They're the best. But even they might not be up to the task. Joined by the Doctor and being picked off one by one, they slowly start to realise that something terrifying lurks in the shadows. Empire of the Racnoss by Scott Handcock When a distress call rips the TARDIS from the Vortex, dragging it back through time, it arrives in the midst of a conflict between Gallifrey and an ancient foe. The Doctor, as ever, wants to help, but in returning a wounded combatant home, he becomes further and further entangled in a web of deceit and recrimination. A web spun by an eight-legged Empress and her minions… The Empire of the Racnoss is at war, and wherever he stands, the Doctor is on the wrong side. The Carrionite Curse by Simon Guerrier Katy Bell returns to her Midlands home to find strange goings-on at the buskers fair. A witch trial in the 1980s. A bonfire ready to be lit... Luckily, a colourful visitor is already investigating, and the local vicar, Katy's dad, is versed in tales of the macabre. Terrifying forces are on the loose, and the town hall holds a secret. There is black magic in the Black Country, and the Doctor has the name of his enemy on the tip of his tongue... Something wicked this way comes. Day of the Vashta Nerada by Matt Fitton As the Time War rages, Cardinal Ollistra of Gallifrey seeks to create ever more dangerous weapons to deploy against the enemy. When the Doctor stumbles across Synthesis Station, he discovers that the Time Lords have sponsored a project to weaponise already-lethal creatures. But in doing so, Eva Morrison and her team have unwittingly used a colony of Vashta Nerada with a very unfortunate history of humanoid contact. The Doctor finds himself leading a desperate race for survival, in which the shadows may be the least of their worries… Written By: John Dorney, Scott Handcock, Simon Guerrier, Matt Fitton Directed By: Barnaby Edwards Cast Tom Baker (The Doctor), Peter Davison (The Doctor), Colin Baker (The Doctor), Paul McGann (The Doctor), Adjoa Andoh (Racnoss Empress), Nigel Planer(Old Racnoss Emperor/ Herrax), Andrew French (Racnoss Consort), Lisa Kay(Alayna), Pam Ferris (Amanda Steele), Lorelei King (Georgia Donnelly), Emma Lowndes (Phelan), Matt Devitt (Bennetto), Maya Sondhi (Katy Bell), Andrée Bernard (Mary Sissinghurst), Adèle Anderson (Eileen Nelthorpe), Michael Fenton-Stevens (Rev Douglas Bell), Jacqueline Pearce (Ollistra), Jan Ravens (Dr Eva Morrison), Himesh Patel (Biotech Dendry), Tim Wallers (Commander Roxita/ Security Chief Raldon).

Actor, performance maker and cabaret artiste Ash Flanders (Sisters Grimm) joins me for the second Melbourne Cabaret Festival 2016 special to talk about inbred dogs (yeah, I mean pugs), music theatre cabaret, brothels, stand up versus cabaret, being "safe" onstage, our mutual fascination with John Farnham, Casey Bennetto (again), theatre schools, the glamour of an artist's life, puppy play and how everyone's a failure and THAT'S OK!! And I didn't have too much libelous material out. And why did I say "next week" at the end?? AM I A LUNATIC!?!? If you get onto this early, you can still see Ash Flanders' show 'Playing To Win' at the Melbourne Cabaret Festival 2016 (at 6:45pm until 19 June 2016). I'm going tonight. And the fact I used the present tense is evidence of how hopeful I am that this podcast will upload with no problems (seriously, the amount of tech stuff that has been going awry lately, I'm about to throw my computer out the window and destroy the internet...check out my chipmunk transitions in this ep, thanks to some weird sample rate balls ups).
