There is a lot to unpack in this roundtable episode hosted by @Sarah Hadden and @Ellen Hunt. Listen in here (Link) as we flip the script on how to deliver bad news to explore how to educate our leaders to hear and act on bad news.  Our experts @Elaine Lin Hering and @Deb Hennelly, share and explore strategies on how to: ·      Build a trusting relationship before the crisis; ·      Incorporate role play as an anchor for the desired behavior when bad news needs action; ·      Understand that emotions are data that you need to leverage; ·      Address the “silence” that hinders ethical behavior; and ·      Create real psychological safety.   

It's a new year and a new administration. Listen to two experts talk about what their crystal balls reveal about the profession's future and how #Ethics and #Compliance professionals should prepare for what may lie ahead.

In our 2025 kickoff episode, Lisa speaks with Lisa Beth Lentini Walker, Deputy General Counsel, Corporate Legal, and Assistant Secretary at Marqeta, the CEO and Founder of Lumen Worldwide Endeavors. Lisa Beth is also a mentor, advocate, and friend to many in the compliance community. While many people consider a CECO role their ultimate career goal, others look to a more GC-focused role. In the past few years, Lisa Beth's career has evolved in that way while she remains involved in compliance. In this episode, she talks about her role, how serendipity and planning helped her get to where she is, and how it is important to be intentional while staying open to new opportunities. In discussing 2025, Lisa Beth notes that her theme of the year is “consistency” and how this is important not only in work but also in being present with family, friends, and community. In terms of the ethics and compliance landscape, they discuss how this will likely be a year of change in regulations in the US and globally and the importance of being agile. Lisa Beth was recently certified by Women in AI Governance as a Founding Quantum Member. She discusses the importance of learning about AI for E&C professionals and says this is a good time to start a wide learning journey in AI as the field expands. In the earlier GWIC iteration, Ellen Hunt joined Lisa every year to discuss the state of the function before she officially joined “Team GWIC,” we hope Lisa Beth will reflect with us next year, too.

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance podcast with Hemma Lomax and Lisa Fine, sponsored by Corporate Compliance Insights.   Have you thought about being an Expat and what it's like to return after being abroad?  This #GWIC episode explores what you need to know on both legs of the journey and the rich personal and professional growth that comes from being immersed in another culture and country.   Our expat guests, @Joy Hayes who has just moved to Geneva, Switzerland, and @Gitanjlai Sakhuja, who has worked in seven different countries and is now back in the U.S., share their journey, tips, and practical advice.  Their insights range from when you decide to work in another country to when you return home - and some of the great experiences (and challenges) in-between.  @Ellen Hunt leads this roundtable discussion with our guests who share their personal experiences and professional insights on becoming an expat and repat including balancing expectations, the importance of language proficiency, and the challenges of tax and visa regulations.

In our last episode, we kicked off our digital book launch series with a conversation featuring Alison Taylor, Rob Chesnut, and Ellen Hunt. Today, we have another exciting panel lined up… this time with some of Europe's leading voices on culture and ethics. Our discussion will focus on common pitfalls and transformative strategies in shaping corporate culture. Tune in as we are joined by Guido Palazzo, Professor of Business Ethics at the University of Lausanne, Michaela Ahlberg, Senior Ethics & Compliance Specialist, and Erica Wikman, Vice President of Compliance & Corporate Integrity at Autoliv.    In this episode, we explore:  The ripple effect of bad decisions  The importance of inclusivity in corporate culture  The ability to listen as leaders  Understanding privilege and bias  Why it's important to stay in the grey zone    ‘You Can Culture: Transformative Leadership Habits for a Thriving Workplace, Positive Impact and Lasting Success' is now available here. 

Today we have an exceptional panel to delve deep into the heart of ethical culture and organizational transformation. We begin first with Andreas Almlöf interviewing Tobias Sturesson about his newest book ‘You Can Culture'. Our panel guests include Ellen Hunt, a leader in the ethics and compliance space, Alison Taylor, former Executive Director of Ethical Systems and a Clinical Associate Professor at NYU Stern School of Business, and Rob Chesnut, former Airbnb executive and author.  In this episode, we explore: HR and compliance driving positive change Intentional integrity and business performance The need for advisory and counsellor roles in leadership A decentralized approach at Airbnb for ethics and compliance Having a culture of disagreement ‘You Can Culture: Transformative Leadership Habits for a Thriving Workplace, Positive Impact and Lasting Success' is now available here.

We emphasize the importance of "understanding the business," in Ethics & Compliance, which is absolutely critical to our success. One of the topics we discuss less frequently is how to work with other control functions, one of which is internal controls.  Lisa is speaking about this topic at the SCCE CEI with Matt Kelly from Radical Compliance. In advance of the conference, Lisa and Ellen Hunt co-hosted a roundtable discussion with Matt Kelly from Radical Compliance, and Sarah Lawrence, Sr. Director of Internal Controls at Pearson.  In this episode, they discuss the history and purpose of internal controls and SOX, how they evolved and how they work today. In particular, they focus on what is financial materiality vs what E&C sees as areas for controls. The whole group agreed that open lines of communication and coordination are fundamental to both of these control functions working together, and Sarah and Lisa discuss how they have built a collaborative relationship so that both the finance and compliance sides understand each other's objectives and keep an open line to the benefit of both functions. #GWIC is proud to announce that it has been nominated for the WomenInPodcastAwards.  This is a people's choice award and whether you vote for #GWIC or other nominees we ask that you send the elevator back down by voting. Voting opens August 1, 2024, and details can be found on the #GWIC Linkedin page at http://www.linkedin.com/groups/12156164 Resources Join the Great Women in Compliance community on LinkedIn here.

Welcome back to the Great Women in Compliance podcast. Today's episode was recorded by the full GWIC 2.0 team, Lisa, Hemma, Ellen Hunt and Sarah Hadden during the Society for Corporate Compliance and Ethics conference (CEI) in Chicago. It was a fantastic event, and all four women valued the opportunity to connect with friends and meet some new people as well. The episode was recorded before Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco spoke, but all were looking forward to hearing that. In this episode, each one of the group mentioned some highlights from the beginning of the conference, and their advice about how to get the most out of the SCCE (or any conference). They also discussed things that they are looking forward to discussing on the podcast this fall - in particular, Ellen mentioned how to make the investigation process better for reporters and people involved in investigations, and Sarah is excited to bring her perspective as a business leader and publisher to the discussions.  The Great Women in Compliance Podcast is on the Compliance Podcast Network with a selection of other Compliance related offerings. GWIC is also sponsored by Corporate Compliance Insights, where we have a page where you can hear every episode. If you are enjoying this episode, please rate it and/or provide a review.

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Hemma Lomax.  GWIC is back to start the 2.0 era! We are very excited to be back, and to start out our new format and hear your views. One consistent thing about the GWIC community is how much you all accomplish and that happened with Lloydette. As you will hear, Lloydette has been offered an amazing government appointment. One of the downsides is that she needed to re-evaluate some of her public commitments. It made the most sense for her to step down from GWIC. During the hiatus, the inaugural Women in Compliance Summit took place, and Hemma Ramrattan Lomax was the Chair. Hemma has also been a guest of the podcast (Episode 145), and an advocate of “Sending the Elevator Back Down, “ and was already helping behind the scenes.  We are thrilled to have Hemma as a co-host, and Ellen Hunt of Spark Compliance and Sarah Hadden of Corporate Compliance Insights as part of the GWIC team and supporting our larger discussions. All four of us will be in Chicago at the SCCE CEI the first week in October, and then the 4 of us will recap the conference for the October 10 episode and to officially kick off this semester.

If CEOs have Larry Fink's Annual Letter to CEOs, then Lisa has Ellen Hunt's "Hunt Report."  Ellen is Principal Consultant Advisor at Spark Compliance and is well known as a mentor and advocate to many in the E&C community. Ellen has finished her first year as a "Sparkie," and will update us on how that is going and what she is seeing and learning through her work.  For the past few years, Lisa and Ellen have talked about retaliation and what we can do better to protect people who raise concerns and those who are witnesses in investigations.  While we have seen some improvements, there is still a long way to go.  They also look at this in light of organizational justice and our workplaces. They also continue the discussions of the past few weeks about kindness, fairness and equality, and how these impact our programs.  This can impact how we collaborate with DEI and ESG teams, to ensure ethical workplaces. One other way you can improve your workplace is with employee recognition, and Mary's "Living Your Best Compliance Life" column at Corporate Compliance Insights can provide some great insights on the benefits of doing so and some ideas that can brighten someone's day.  The Great Women in Compliance Podcast is on the Compliance Podcast Network with a selection of other Compliance related offerings to listen in to.  If you are enjoying this episode, please rate it on your preferred podcast player to help other likeminded Ethics and Compliance professionals find it.  If you have a moment to leave a review at the same time, Mary and Lisa would be so grateful.  You can also find the GWIC podcast on Corporate Compliance Insights where Lisa and Mary have a landing page with additional information about them and the story of the podcast.  Corporate Compliance Insights is a much-appreciated sponsor and supporter of GWIC, including affiliate organization CCI Press publishing the related book; “Sending the Elevator Back Down, What We've Learned from Great Women in Compliance” (CCI Press, 2020).  If you enjoyed the book, the GWIC team would be very grateful if you would consider rating it on Goodreads and Amazon and leaving a short review.  Don't forget to send the elevator back down by passing on your copy to someone who you think might enjoy reading it when you're done, or if you can't bear parting with your copy, consider it as a holiday or appreciation gift for someone in Compliance who deserves a treat.

Post By: Adam Turteltaub The pandemic is both increasing burnout and making it harder to differentiate between needing a break and being, well, just completely done. As Ellen Hunt of Spark Compliance and Melanie Sponholz, Chief Compliance Officer, Waud Capital Partners explain in this podcast (and will also share in their session at the HCCA Compliance Institute), common signs are fatigue (to the point of not wanting to get up and start work), feeling cynical or jaded, irritability, inability to concentrate, not feeling your usual self, and no sense of purpose. Another sign to watch out for: the inability to have a sense of accomplishment. If being able to cross something off of your list no longer brings with it any feeling of reward, it's a telltale sign of burnout. To avoid burnout they recommend building a separation between work and not working. That's harder to do with so many of us working from home, but it's necessary. Try to focus on doing some things completely separate from work that make you happy. Anything involving movement – walking, running yoga – can help. Think about things that you used to do at home that filled your cup when you left work. It could be cooking a meal, reading a good book, or spending time with non-work friends (safely, of course). At work, they recommend three specific behaviors: Always assume positive intent. Don't think that people are out to get you, even if their words may seem a bit hostile. Practice the pause. Take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Are they really insulting me, trying or be rude, not understanding?” Ask people why they asked the question or made the decision that they did. It could have just come from a misunderstanding. Ask yourself: Do I really care?  Is this something that is going to matter next week or year? Finally, they advise making that effort to revive and build out your network. It will help you expand beyond the core people you normally interact with and find others than inspire you. It's also beneficial to talk with others going through similar circumstances to be reminded that you are not alone. So, schedule that 30-minute virtual coffee, or just send a note to someone you haven't been in touch with to see how they are doing. Reach out to people you admire. Many will be surprisingly happy to hear of your support and be more than willing to talk. You can even take the next step of creating something of a board of advisors for yourself. Listen in to learn more, and then be sure to attend their session at the 2022 HCCA Compliance Institute, which takes place in Phoenix, March 28-31 and is also available online.

Many will be surprisingly happy to hear of your support and be more than willing to talk. You can even take the next step of creating something of a board of advisors for yourself. Listen in to learn more, and then be sure to attend their session at the 2022 HCCA Compliance Institute, which takes place in Phoenix, March 28-31 and is also available online.

Our GWIF guest today, Ellen Hunt, has recently returned full-time to her hometown of Chicago. I think by the end of this episode you will be reaching out to Ellen to talk all things compliance and careers. I have her to thank for introducing me to Lloydette Bai-Marrow.  GWIF has shown me and hopefully you all the areas of business that intersect such as compliance, fraud, internal audit.  Don't stay in your silos or fiefdoms as I like to refer to them. Show Notes:https://www.linkedin.com/in/ellenmhunt/https://twitter.com/ethicsintegrityhttps://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2271840

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.  Today's episode is a "ripped from the headlines" one, where Ellen Hunt joins GWIC talk about some of the recent events of the last couple of weeks that put a light on raising concerns, whistleblowing and retaliation. Ellen is Vice President ~ Compliance Program Operations & Chief Privacy Officer at LifePoint Health, and a leader, sponsor and advocate for everyone in the ethics and compliance space. In this discussion, Lisa and Ellen discuss some of the recent developments in the ActiVision/Blizzard fallout from the lawsuit, and the report that came out about Governor Andrew Cuomo last week. Lisa and Ellen reflect on the reaction of the ActiVision leadership, and how we as compliance officers can best address these kinds of issues. More deeply, they reflect on how to balance all our work to build a speak up culture with the need to protect those who raise concerns. They talk specifically about the fear of retaliation.   They try to identify the problems that are in the spotlight right now and Ellen in particular provides her insight into some solutions of how we in the E&C community can do better. Our profession, and the GWIC community, is based on supporting ethical decision making, so we are so grateful to Ellen to speaking and being so candid on this difficult topic.   The Great Women in Compliance Podcast is on the Compliance Podcast Network with a selection of other Compliance related offerings to listen in to. If you are enjoying this episode, please rate it on your preferred podcast player to help other likeminded Ethics and Compliance professionals find it. You can also find the GWIC podcast on Corporate Compliance Insights where Lisa and Mary have a landing page with additional information about them and the story of the podcast. Corporate Compliance Insights is a much appreciated sponsor and supporter of GWIC, including affiliate organization CCI Press publishing the related book; “Sending the Elevator Back Down: What We've Learned from Great Women in Compliance” (CCI Press, 2020).

Post By: Adam Turteltaub NOTE: This podcast was recorded prior to the conversion of the Compliance & Ethics Institute to a virtual program. Some of the sessions and their tracks may have changed.  Be sure to visit the website to see the latest agenda. Compliance is about much more than understanding the law.  It requires a great many other skills, which is where the Professional Skills track at the Compliance & Ethics Institute comes in. The track chairs are Ellen Hunt, Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer and Chief Audit Executive at AARP and Walter Johnson, Assistant Privacy Officer at Inova Health System.  As they explain in this podcast being a strong compliance professional requires emotional intelligence, the ability to build relationships, create change, negotiate and provide value to an organization.  All of these skills are transferable to other positions at well. As they selected sessions for the track they worked to balance out training in these areas and help foster the mental agility so important to success.  Here are some of the sessions: Clear, Concise, and Captivating – Tips on How to Communicate with the C-Suite and Board of Directors Considering Consulting or Starting Your Own Compliance Business? What to do NOW to Prepare for Success The 7 Habits of an Effective Compliance & Ethics Professional Listen in as they preview some of the sessions and share their efforts to improve their own professional skills.

SVP of Audit, Ethics, and Compliance at AARP, Ellen Hunt is talking about her teams implementation of dashboards as well as how to get in front of the C-suite.   You can see the dashboard Ellen and her team use to show the status of an audit by watching this short YouTube clip.   If you want to see more of Ellen then check out some of the training sessions she leading as well as her feature in Great Women in Compliance (coming Fall 2020): Re-opening the workplace: how are we going to do this??!

In today's episode of Great Women in Compliance, Lisa speaks with Ellen Hunt, who is the Senior Vice President and Audit, Ethics and Compliance Officer for AARP. Ellen has accomplished so much for the compliance community, in the field and is a friend, advocate and mentor to a lot of people, Lisa and Mary included. Following along from the episode a few weeks ago about a dream compliance team, this discussion is about what makes a great Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer (although the title may differ from place to place). The discussion includes a discussion of what the roles and responsibilities are and should be for a new CECO. This includes some thought about how to manage expectations of a Board and executive team, including the idea of looking at a program and seeing what may not be needed before adding new initiatives. Ellen also talks about the best ways to lead a team, balancing the needs of high performers with other team members as a new CECO. She provides a few practical strategies that anyone can use at any time with their teams or within the organization.

We recorded a special episode of Great Women in Compliance this week.  A roundtable session was held at the Gaylord Resort and Convention Center at National Harbor -  right from the SCCE CEI.  This year’s conference attracted nearly 1900 attendees and was packed full of interesting sessions from substantive topics to soft skills to motivational and inspirational, which we hope our session “Starting the Great Women in Compliance Podcast.  How an Idea from the SCCE 2018 CEI Evolved into a Podcast and What We Learned” was for some of the attendees.  Podcast hosts Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley were joined for this episode by two popular and prominent Great Women in Compliance, Amii Barnard-Bahn and Ellen Hunt to share insights, observations and learnings from this year’s conference.  We talked about a few of the sessions of the conference and the key takeaways from each, top tips for networking specifically at conferences to make the most of the in person experience, developments in relation to women on boards and overall highlights from attending the conference.  Lisa and Mary would like to extend sincere gratitude to the folks that introduced themselves at the conference, supported our session, podcast and supplied us with feedback.  It was a wonderful experience meeting so many of our LinkedIn connections including several Great Women in Compliance in person and we very much look forward to seeing you all again next year.

In this episode of Great Women in Compliance, Lisa Fine speaks with lawyer Ellen Hunt, the Senior Vice President Audit, Ethics and Compliance Officer at AARP. She has had a wealth of experience working with boards of directors and helping to move the industry forward with education programs designed to help leaders make more ethical decisions.  Relationships with Boards of Directors Ellen has often worked with boards of directors, and one of the paramount considerations is having a good relationship with the people on different committees before challenging issues come up. Gender on Boards of Directors Ellen has most often work with organizations with women not only being on boards, but also n management teams. If you are the only woman in the room however, think about how you can pave the way for others to follow you, and how what you bring to the table, like empathy and good listening is an important and valuable perspective.  Mentoring and Sponsorships Mentors and sponsors are different things. A good mentor will share their own path with you, but a sponsor will be your advocate, and they’ll help make things happen for you.  Compliance as a Function – what is changing? Compliance has really established itself as a function. It’s a profession that has a tremendous amount of credibility, but we must continuously disrupt the industry.
