Last year's landmark Whyte Review into gymnastics detailed 'systemic issues' of physical and emotional abuse between 2008 and 2020. Today, British Gymnastics has for the first time introduced safeguarding policies relating to weighing, hydration and academic education, which they say are designed to better protect the welfare of gymnasts, but do they go far enough? Clare speaks to David Hart, performance director for British Gymnastics, Karen Whelan, gymnastics coach and mother of two-time British Olympian Hannah Whelan, and Eloise Jotischky, former elite gymnast and trustee and the youth voice on the Gymnasts for Change board and the first (and currently only) person to win a civil case against British Gymnastics for the abuse she experienced in the sport.The actor Myha'la joins Clare to discuss her latest project starring alongside Julia Roberts and Mahershala Ali in the film Leave the World Behind. It's an apocalyptic thriller which sees Julia Roberts's character Amanda rent a luxury house in the countryside with her family. They're disturbed by Ruth, played by Myha'la, and her father who claim they own the house and need a place to stay following a mysterious cyber attack. Team GB hockey player Tess Howard campaigned for women to be able to choose whether they play in shorts or the traditional skort for their matches, resulting in official changes to the sport's kit regulations. She's been awarded Changemaker of the Year at the Sunday Times Sportswomen awards for her work. How do you keep long-distance friendships going? Clare talks to film maker Shannon Haly, who lives in New York and wrote a viral poem about missing her best friend. They are joined by the journalist Rose Stokes who, after having an 18-year long-distance friendship decided to move to live in the same city as her friend. It's long been claimed that in prehistoric times, women were gatherers while men were hunters. However, new research debunks this narrative and suggests that women were actually superior to men when it comes to hunting. Clare spoke to Dr Annamieke Milks, a palaeolithic archaeologist from the University of Reading who is an expert in hunting and weapons.Presenter Clare McDonnell Producer: Dianne McGregor

In September 2023, during Climate Week, we were joined by travel expert and writer Jessica Nabongo (our host) and panellists Amanda Ho (Regenerative Travel), Javier Arredondo (Virtuoso), Costas Christ (Sustainable Travel Pioneer), Tshewang Wangchuk (Bhutan Foundation) to discuss the power and agency that individual travelers have to turn the switches, move the dials, and catalyse positive change within the travel industry.The goal of this event was to bring together industry experts, travelers, advocates, and to give listeners a toolkit of interesting information and important actionable points that will allow each of us to travel better tomorrow; taking ourselves from travelers to change makers.The host and panellists discuss a variety of topics including what difficult questions should we be asking of our hotels or tour operators and how to go about asking them; the responsibility of different players within the travel ecosystem when it comes to making a positive impact; and ultimately how we can really make our travel count for good and bring about positive change. 

Alex Budak is an author and faculty member at Berkeley Haas School of Business. He recently wrote a book called "Becoming a Changemaker."   If there is anything I know about fertility patients it's that you all know a lot about being on a journey that often involves embracing change. You become more resilient, and you follow a "growth" mindset. You cling to hope and you let it lead the way forward. It's no surprise that I would have a social entrepreneur and changemaker on the show.    You have a lot in common with what Alex teaches and writes about: "Developing a changemaker mindset often requires holding two seemingly contradictory traits simultaneously: Having a strong personal vision yet being open to collaborating with others. Employing drive and determination to push through barrier after barrier yet knowing when to step back and recharge."    Today we're talking about how to become a Changemaker on your fertility journey. Here are three traits he believes a changemaker has: 1. There's always another way 2. Existing at the edges 3. Learned Hopefulness / Learned Optimism You can learn more about Alex and get his book here: https://www.alexbudak.com/ Do you have questions about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

When you see a need, what do you do? Do you jump in and try to solve the problem? Or do you think about it for a while and workshop all the options and scenarios in your head before deciding whether to take action or not? Both ways can be valid, needed, and valuable. And both have their pitfalls. When we jump in to solve a need or problem, we can end up on a path to a crash course in humble pie and hard learnings on the go that can often do harm to others. Yet thoughtful consideration can often lead to failing to take action and falling into complacency. Or even worse, you tap out all together because you feel like your voice, your vote, your time, or your resources will not make a difference.But we can't stop caring or tap out. The stakes are too high.My guest today challenges this complacency–especially right now when so much is at stake here in the United States.

They say "don't meet your heroes" but thankfully that isn't always true. Jane McAlevey is one of those people who would call "bullshit" on people calling her a hero - but I'm an Australian - so I say bullshit back.Jane is a fighter - and this conversation with her recorded in 2021 demonstrates that. Jane has taught us many of the rules about how to fight and how to win. Jane is not well (see this piece in the New Yorker) - but she is still fighting. Not just for her health but for the welfare and rights of workers across the US and beyond.We - I - wanted to celebrate all she has done and the lessons she has offered. She has influenced how I think, how I organise and more importantly - her guidance has gifted the world clear lessons in union organising that are working to improve lives all over the place.Jane has a new book out - Rules to Win (more information is HERE). Irrespective of whether you have not heard of her or if you know her well - take a listen and go read that book. Let her spiky wisdom ring in your ears.- Amanda TattersallPhoto credit - Alice Attie.Jane's website with information on all her work is here - https://janemcalevey.com/For more on ChangeMakers - check us out at https://changemakerspodcast.org/, or Twitter at @changemakers99 or @amandatatts.

HR is not typically thought of as a sexy department. Many of us associate HR with paperwork, procedures, and policies. Khalilah Olokunola is radically redefining the perception of HR and its potential impact, not only within our companies but also in our communities and the world at large.

Hello Gorgeous Listeners! In this episode, we dive into an incredible story of strength, resilience, and the power of women coming together to create real change.In December 2012, our nation was rocked by the devastating events at Sandy Hook. As moms across the country watched in disbelief, a collective rage and sadness swept through us all. Our guest this week, the incomparable and indefatigable Shannon Watts, was one of those moms who felt the profound impact of that tragedy.Shannon is a force and one of my Sheroes! She's an activist, speaker, author, and the Founder Emerita of Moms Demand Action, which stands as the largest women's volunteer organization in America.

Her book, "Fight Like a Mother: How a Grassroots Movement Took on the Gun Lobby and Why Women Will Change the World," published in 2019, is a testament to her dedication. Shannon is currently working on a new book, set to be released in 2025, and publishes weekly in her Substack community, "Playing with Fire."In our conversation, Shannon shares her journey starting Moms Demand Action after the Sandy Hook tragedy and the resistance she faced from powerful gun lobbies.

It's found within the people that I surround myself. One of the highlights for me as a leader, as a changemaker, is being able to see not only can I, Dr. Gertrude Albert, have an impact on Haiti, but turning around and seeing that those around me are having an impact and those around me are reaching new levels.Dr. Bertrhude Albert, CEO of P4H Global, bristles just a bit when I mention that Haiti is a challenging place. “Working in Haiti is the most challenging yet most rewarding part of my life because I get to be working in a context where Haiti is the first free Black republic in the world.”“Haiti is the first nation to be established in Latin America and the Caribbean,” she continues. “Haiti is the nation–the only nation–to be formed because of a successful slave revolt.”“I'm working within a context that is so powerful, that is so inspiring–the Haitian people of today are deeply connected to their glorious past,” she says. “So I get to be working in this context, being working with the people that are so proud of who they are and where they come from.”She acknowledges a bit reluctantly that the challenges are real:Yet, at the same time, I'm working in a context where economically, my people–because I was born in Haiti, born in Cap-Haitien–my people are struggling. Haiti has the title, which I don't like to flaunt. I think that there's more to Haiti than the economic poverty. But Haiti does have this title of the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. That's because of the economic challenges that my people face. The average Haitian, research shows, lives off of $2 to $3 a day.One of the manifestations of the challenges in Haiti is the ranks of teachers. “In Haiti, 80 percent of teachers, eight out of ten, are not qualified to be teaching, according to USAID, 80 percent!” Bertrhude says. “The vast majority of teachers haven't been trained, haven't gone through teacher school, and that directly impacts the students because in Haiti, 60 percent of students, six out of ten, are dropping out before they finish elementary school.”P4H Global has been recognized internationally for its work partly because research guides the organization to act strategically at the root of the problem. Bertrhude explains:Research shows that the indicator that has the greatest impact on the success of a student–it's not the socioeconomic status of the student, it's not the background of the student, it's not where the student comes from–the greatest impact on a student will be the teacher, how the teacher is able to meet the student where they are and is able to support and accompany the student on their journey to success.So, as a nonprofit, our tagline is “We are training teachers to transform Haiti.” We believe that as we train teachers, they're going to better accompany the students. As we invest in the teachers, we're investing in the students.Bertrhude's superpower, empowering other people, is catalyzing this award-winning work. I'll share insights about her superpower following the AI Episode Summary.AI Episode Summary* Dr. Bertrhude Albert is the founder of P4H Global, an organization that trains teachers in Haiti.* Haiti is facing challenges in terms of social injustice and economic poverty.* An estimated 80% of teachers in Haiti are not qualified, leading to a high dropout rate of students.* P4H focuses on training teachers to empower students and change the trajectory of Haiti.* The organization has over 50 full-time staff members and works in all ten departments of Haiti.* P4H has trained over 9,000 teachers and has been recognized globally for its impact.* The program starts with a diagnostic to understand the needs of schools and teachers.* Training sessions are dynamic and include practical strategies that can be used immediately.* P4H provides distance coaching and in-classroom visits to support teachers' professional development.* Dr. Albert's superpower is building a strong team and empowering others to reach their full potential.How to Develop Empowering Others As a SuperpowerBerthrude shared an anecdote to illustrate her superpower of empowering others. As you can tell from watching the interview, she is a charismatic and engaging speaker. As a trainer, she earned a reputation for being the best in the organization.She recognized, however, that for the organization to extend beyond her personal capabilities, she needed to develop even better trainers. First, she identified Laurent and trained him. After a time, she and others agreed that he was, in fact, a better trainer.Then, she helped Laurent identify a high-potential trainer who could surpass even Laurent's greatness. Enter Wisnow. With training and mentoring from Laurent, Wisnow set a new high-water mark for training at P4H Global.Bertrhude says that listening and communicating effectively are keys to empowering others. After recognizing their potential, she helped them to feel heard and seen and then mentored them on a personal level, enabling them to reach their full potential.By following Bertrhude's example and advice, you can make empowering others a leadership skill you employ. With practice, you could make it a superpower you can add to your portfolio, enabling you to do more good in the world.Guest ProfileDr. Bertrhude Albert (she/her):CEO and Co-Founder, P4H GlobalAbout P4H Global: P4H Global is a nonprofit committed to transforming Haiti through quality education.
