The housing association collaborative RiSE programme for visible leadership has a proven success rate previously internally in housing associations and it helps support women to own their expertise, identify barriers for self promotion and increase their visibility so that they can develop their career progression within the company. The impact of the programme for housing associations include: Increased retention of top female talent Promotions of more women into senior roles Reduction in the gender pay gap Pro active employees ready to take on new opportunities Talented employees who feel confident to speak up and share opinions and ideas in meetings More female role models who showcase their own achievements and are not backing away from self promotion Committed and motivated staff who want to progress their careers at their company Increased business opportunities from women getting more involved in networking to promote their company and its values. Some HAs have found the programme so successful that they have us facilitate internal cohorts every year.    If you can think of women in your organisation who are struggling to own and showcase their experience, are not taking control over their career or are avoiding next level opportunities and you'd like to discuss putting them into RiSE to help them achieve their potential, reduce recruitment costs and attrition then get in touch - email me at gemma@nomorehiding.co or direct message me in LinkedIn.

Welcome to the Love Where You Are podcast!  In today's episode I am joined by Author Michelle Sanchez. Michelle is passionate for disciples to be transformed as they transform the world. She serves as Executive Minister of Make and Deepen Disciples for the Evangelical Covenant Church. She has also served on the advisory board of the Institute for Bible reading, ministered to international students with Cru in New York City, and engaged in three global gatherings of the Lausanne Movement. Michelle earned a Master of Divinity and Master of Theology from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, completed spiritual direction training at Boston College, and studied the life and times of Jesus at Jerusalem University College.  She has published four books and is a regular columnist with Outreach Magazine. Hey friend, It is difficult navigating the division of our world, and it can be especially confusing for our kids who see it everywhere. As we raise the next generation of Christ followers, we as parents need tools to equip our kids to be a part of the solution to the division we see all around us. In this week's episode I sat down with author, Michelle Sanchez to discuss the beauty of community, how God created community, and how we are all made in the image of God. Michelle reminds us about the importance of communicating with our kids and how it is in fact at the core of scripture. Jesus reached out to the outcasts, so must we; and He gave us the great commission to seek out all people across the world. On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, take time to listen to this encouraging conversation! You can connect with Michelle through Facebook, Instagram, and her website where you can buy God's Beloved Community or her other resources such as, Color-Courageous Discipleship.    FAVORITE TAKE-AWAYS: *What was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s real dream? We remember his "I have a dream" speech but sometimes we forget he was a pastor and his real dream was a spiritual one, for all of us to love one another as a body of Christ.  *Our kids are experiencing broken community, and Michelle offers the solution to communicate with them about it. It all begins in Genesis, even with God Himself as the Trinity, Three in One, there was community--likewise, humans were built for community.  *Every culture has its strengths and weaknesses. One strength in the United States is our independence, but it also becomes a weakness because we lack a strong sense of community and understand its importance; other cultures may lack individual independence but succeed with community bonds.    REMEMBER: *Jesus reached out to the marginalized. "It's all about the heart." - Michelle.  *Reconciliation as disciples hasn't been at the forefront of priorities. *We are here to advance the Kingdom of God, all nations like a colorful tapestry.    SCRIPTURE:  Revelations 7 Matthew 28   Connect with Somer!  Stay connected to Somer and the Love Where You Are podcast through her Facebook & Instagram!

The guys share their initial reaction to the Jon Gruden situation. Kirk reflects on his time with the Raider family and his feelings on what Gruden has done. Jax shares a story about losing a job because of emails. Discussion on the fallout of Gruden's emails and what's next for the NFL, ESPN, the Raiders, and the Washington Football Team.Tashan Reed - Raiders Writer, The AthleticCovering what's happening with the Raiders right now has been hectic. Tashan is just trying to cover the story in the most comprehensive way. The big question is why didn't the Raiders act more quickly. They had all of the emails before Sunday's game and still waited until Monday before announcing Gruden's resignation. It's a bad look waiting because it looks as if they reacted to the backlash vs doing what was right. Mark Davis dropped the ball on this one. There hasn't been much reaction from the players on the record about what happened. For years the Raiders have been champions for diversity. This is a culture. Pretty sure there are more folks within the NFL that agree with what was in those emails. More instances like this need to happen in order for things to change. Raider fans will still be there to support the Raiders.

Andrew Sotiropoulos, Vice President Asia Pacific/Japan, Pure Storage shares the importance of understanding team diversity, and the role of simple and thoughtful communication.

Lisa Love's extensive background in the CPG space including a stint at Amazon, where she launched Amazon Marketplace for startups, was only the start. It was really the blend of influence from her mother's work in education and her father's work in technology that created the recipe that led to a passion for startups and tech, propelling Lisa to pursue making a significant impact on the future of the tech industry. Lisa talks with Lahari Neelapareddy about creating a product and brand that's bridging a critical gap, and how she and her team are bringing technology into the hands of youth who may not have the same access or exposure. Through her own tireless drive -- and riding the traction gained on Shark Tank and Amazon --  Lisa is leading Tanoshi to meet a major need for youth in what is now a pandemic-impacted education system. It's a true labor of love.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
