Hosts Kim Landeen and Carolina Allen discuss the tenet, “We work in partnership with our global sisters to create generative solutions.”   Big Ocean Women will be attending the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women in New York City. We will be presenting a Parallel Event. Check out our social media for access to that.   “That's the beauty and the joy of Big Ocean … we truly are a global sisterhood.” - Kim Landeen   “... [E]veryone is feeling this burning passion to belong to an organization that doesn't just spew out a litany of problems, but that we're … super pumped about supporting one another and being the solution to those problems and creating … generative solutions. That means solutions aren't just band-aid approaches that they're going to get at the root of real issues and that … our children will benefit from what we're doing and that's the whole purpose…” - Carolina Allen   “... [A]ll it takes is a single woman that has an idea that wants to improve her own situation and the situation of those around her, and Big Ocean is here to help.” - Kim Landeen   “I think that's the beauty and kind of why we've been so successful at the United Nations is it is that pure feeling of love. There is a divine love that stands within us as women of faith, and we see and acknowledge that innate unique worth of individuals and we truly do desire to work in partnership with our global sisters from a very empowered place that creates those generative solutions for ourselves, for our communities, and ultimately for our children that stand at the center of everything we do.” - Kim Landeen   We believe that every woman who has the best interest of the rising generation at heart, and willingly gives herself to nourish and protect the rising generation, is a mother.   “To mother and to nurture, those are action words, … they carry with it a big responsibility, and so for those women in the world that are keyed into that responsibility and want to carry that with us, then we welcome you.” - Carolina Allen   “I want you to think about your strengths. What do you have to offer? What are you good at? … What's something that sparks your interest or that you gravitate towards? And then start exploring that and start finding ways in your community, in your family, within your extended family, within your work environment, ways that you can freely offer that like as a gift. And as you do that, it's going to make you feel so confident and so happy and fulfilled. Then the next step is just to keep expanding that and take something that you … may not be that proficient in … but you have interest in it, and then you keep developing that skill and over time, the more that you put that into practice by serving other people and by engaging and helping others around you, that skill and talent will get polished and will become really a huge asset. And we are inviting everyone to join us, because the more we collaborate together, the stronger we are.” - Carolina Allen   “It is fairly common that we are brought to tears because of the work that you guys are performing and the miracles and generative solutions that are changing our world every single day that is wrought by the leadership of our WAVEs.” - Kim Landeen   —-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Carolina is the founder and leader of Big Ocean Women, the international maternal feminist organization representing perspectives of faith, family, and motherhood throughout civil society. Carolina holds a B.A. in philosophy from the University of Utah with an emphasis in cultural religions and philosophy of science. Her inspirational and philosophical work has been presented at various international U.N. conferences. She is a native of Brazil, and a fluent trilingual.

She lives in Alaska with her family where she enjoys spending the slower paced life with her children combing the beach for treasures, gardening, picking wild berries, and spending rainy lazy days making bread, reading books, and watching movies.

My guest on this podcast says that the best advice she has ever been given was “when you are dancing on thin ice, you may as well tap dance” and that's how she lives her life.   Nicky Sparshott is the CEO of Unilever Australia & New Zealand and former Global CEO of luxury retailer, T2 Tea. She has over 25 years of experience in developing & building brands, growing businesses and transforming infrastructure and culture. She has worked across a broad range of organisations including Unilever, The Coca-Cola Company, P&G and George Patterson Y&R.   Recognised for her depth and breadth of expertise across FMCG, Retail, Luxury and Ecommerce, Nicky also brings broader based category experience spanning food, beverages, health care and personal care.   Nicky holds a Masters in International Business, which has been supported by significant global management experience across Australia, New Zealand, UK, Europe, USA and the highly diverse markets of Asia. She recently completed an Executive MBA in Change, through INSEAD, graduating with Distinction and is also an HBDI certified practitioner.   Nicky is a Non-Executive Director on the boards of World Wildlife Fund Australia, Global Sisters and the Australian Food & Grocery Council and sits on the Australasian Advisory Board of the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute and UTS Vice Chancellors Industry Advisory Board.  She is a National Member of the Champions of Change Coalition; a Founding Member of the B-Team Australasia and Climate Leaders Coalition and is a member of Chief Executive Women. She is a passionate advocate for businesses driving sustainable agendas that positively impact both people and the planet and in doing so be a true force for good.   Avid followers of purpose-led businesses will recognise Unilever as one of the global leaders of the corporate purpose movement, so much so that they've copped criticism from some investors for too much focus on “soft” issues like sustainability and social responsibility. So I was really excited to hear Nicky's perspective on all things purpose and profit and what leadership looks like through the perspective of purpose in business. Nicky's own leadership shines through powerfully in this interview. Not perhaps in the way you might expect of a traditional leader of a big corporation; rather a leader for our times. Australia, and indeed the world, would do well to have more leaders with Nicky's outlook and beliefs.    If you are looking for inspiration on courageous, strong and vulnerable leadership, you need to tune into this episode.   Here are some of the highlights of our interview:   Nicky shares some of her views from the thesis she recently wrote as part of her Masters of Change, on Love and Fear; emotions that can unleash superpowers, which are so relevant to business during changing times. Despite not growing up with the ambition to be a CEO of a company like Unilever, Nicky highlights the two key characteristics that she believes has brought her to where she is today: an entrepreneurial spirit which she had from a young age and the activist within, coming from her sense of injustice and a desire to do something about it. Nicky shares with us her views on leadership, including what she believes her number one job is and how leadership needs to shift from the traditional hierarchical structure to creation of a steer co of equals, agnostic of function, age and hierarchy. The Great Resignation is reframed positively by Nicky as The Great Realisation and what this means to leaders who want to recruit and retain great talent. Nicky shares her views on the opportunity behind purposeful business. She challenges listeners to stop looking at the opportunity cost of “doing purpose”. Instead look at the opportunity cost of NOT doing it. Nicky highlights Unilever's background and purpose; what it means for the business; and how Unilever's purpose shows up in practical ways. She shares an overview of Unilever's current Compass Strategy and highlights the integrated nature of the strategy, being good for business, as well as good for society and the planet. Unleashing people's superpowers is a recurring theme through this podcast and I suspect something Nicky feels passionately about. She talks about this in the context of goal setting. Nicky's beliefs on what the new corporate currency is: Care, Compassion and Courage. She speaks about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Not just as another box to be ticked, but in human terms and with a real understanding about what people really desire: an environment where they can belong and show up in their most authentic way. We discuss the balance between profit and purpose and what Unilever's approach to this is. Nicky highlights her views on the role of play, purpose and potential to raise performance and to create sticky teams.   And we covered all of this (and more) in under 1 hour!   If you enjoy this episode, please rate it in your favourite podcast listening app.

In this third episode of the Social Lights Podcast, podcast host and Social Mediology founder Kate vanderVoort has a conversation with Mandy Richards, Founder and CEO of Global Sisters (https://globalsisters.org/) , who has created an amazing organisation that makes business a genuine alternative for any woman. ABOUT GLOBAL SISTERS Mandy Richards has always been naturally entrepreneurial, and felt that she was ready for another project. She is passionate about human rights, loves anything to do with businesses, and knew that she wanted to work with women. The result? Global Sisters—a long-term program that aims to “support women who are unable to access meaningful, mainstream employment.” BIG IDEA 1 “An avenue to connect women to the markets they didn’t have access to”—and more. (4:32) Initially, Global Sisters aimed to be a platform where women could sell their products, providing support in developing products that people would actually want to buy. Working with several women with refugee backgrounds, however, opened up a can of worms. Though they started out as a business coach, Mandy and her team quickly realized that they needed education, as well. As Mandy shared, “We worked our way backwards and backwards and backwards, then started working our way forwards again.” Today, the program now comprises of a half-day workshop, a business program with a sister school made up of nine modules, access to facilitated group coaching sessions, one-on-one coaching sessions, valuable resources, and a lot more. BIG IDEA 2 “Making business possible for all women.” (5:16) There’s often no consideration of what barriers to employment women might be facing. These barriers could be far and wide—living in an area with really high unemployment, being a single mom to small children and having no access to childcare, suffering from mental illness, living with a disability, or being retrenched at the age of 50. Global Sisters strives to create a genuine alternative means for Australian women to create an income for themselves. BIG IDEA 3 Seeing so many people who are prepared to believe in them and support them—that has a massive impact. (13:07) In Sister Pitch, a recent event held in Melbourne, 11 women presented their businesses to a live audience and pitched for access to networks, business opportunities, and pro-bono services. There was incredible support from different companies. Apart from networks, women are also given also access to expertise, tangible services to accelerate their business to the next level, and to a sister tribe which opens a whole lot of support in itself. As of date, Global Sisters has, in some way, supported 1200 to 1300 women. Keep listening to the upcoming episodes of podcasts by joining in Social Lights Podcast produced by Social Mediology.

Global Sister An Le is in the business of providing ethical gifts: care packages for women going through hard times – ‘a warm hug in a box,’ she calls it.When someone you know is struggling and you don’t know what to say or don’t want to be intrusive, a hamper of eco-friendly, beautiful, organic, high quality thoughtful gifts might do the trick.Supplying care packages is just the start of An’s business journey. She wants to eventually offer life coaching for women to realise their strength and potential and to sustain it. “It’s important to me because women are amazing and are not valued enough,” she says.An is motivated to help other women while providing a good life for herself and her two daughters. She understands the need to stay positive when things are tough. “Women are continually giving and forgetting to look after ourselves. I would like women to feel valued and acknowledged for the hard days.” An says she wants to ‘give back to Global Sisters and be part of the ripple effect of Sister Tribe.’Brisbane-based An plans to offer her products in person at markets, and to promote both her products and services via social media as well as through her own networks. She will make her coaching services available online. “Life coaching will allow me to assist women who want help to grow as a person and learn that it’s ok to love yourself without any mummy guilt.”
