Psalm 68 is a magnificent psalm that depicts God as the warrior-king. It begins with the battle cry of Moses, “Let God arise and all His enemies be scattered”. But verse 11 is pivotal. It says, “The Lord gave the word and great was the company that proclaimed it”. The word for ‘company' is in the feminine gender, and I'm certain that women will play a pivotal role in what God is doing in the last days, especially the MOTHERS.

Why Bad Dates Happen to Great WomenYou're smart, successful, and you know your worth — so why do you keep ending up on bad dates with the wrong men? Matchmaker Gina Hendrix has been asking that question for 18 years and she has the answers. In this episode she gives you the unfiltered truth about what great women consistently get wrong when it comes to men — and none of it is what you think.This episode covers the real reasons your dates keep disappointing you. It starts with the urge to reach out first — why women do it, what it actually communicates to a man, and why the need to control the situation is quietly sabotaging your results before the second date even happens. Gina also breaks down the number one mistake women make after exchanging numbers — leaving the conversation open-ended — and the one simple phrase that makes a man actually follow through on that call.Then there's the question every woman eventually asks: am I being too picky or not picky enough? Gina draws a clear line between standards that serve you and standards that are quietly keeping great men out. She covers why you should never judge a profile on the first photo alone, when to investigate further before swiping left, and why swiping when you're bored is one of the worst things you can do for your love life.Also in this episode: what men actually mean when they say they don't want a woman who plays games — and why women are almost always guilty of it without realizing it. Gina explains exactly how women communicate indirectly, withdraw, and go cold instead of just saying what they want — and why men read that as manipulation every single time.Other topics covered: red flags to look for on a man's dating profile before you ever match with him, when and how to bring up marriage if that's what you're actually looking for, how to handle religion and interfaith relationships before things go too far, how to list your career on your profile if your job is high-profile or sensitive, and why exceptional men are few and far between on the apps — and what to do about it.Plus Gina shares real profile reviews, real coaching moments, and the kind of honest feedback most people in your life are too polite to give you.If you're a great woman who keeps ending up on bad dates, this episode is your come-to-Gina moment.New episodes every week.

Who were the great women crooners who redefined the love song for a new era and a new generation.

In this episode of Great Women in Compliance, Lisa Fine talks with Trish Ashman, Senior Director of Ethics & Compliance (AMEA & APAC) at Cushman & Wakefield, about resilience, integrity, and knowing when it's time to move on. Trish shares her journey from private practice in London to Singapore and into the Ethics and Compliance space. Trish was at Wirecard and then at Twitter, both of which had her working through two major corporate crises – the fraud at Wirecard and the ownership change at Twitter. Trish candidly shares her experiences and lessons learned from both of those roles. At Wirecard, she stayed to support employees during the collapse, focused on fairness and doing what she could to make a difference. At Twitter, after the acquisition dramatically reshaped the company and its compliance function, she considered whether she could still meaningfully influence ethical decision-making and if this role aligned with her values. This episode is an honest conversation about ethics and compliance as a calling, resilience as a muscle, and how these experiences shaped Trish and helped her become resilient and find a role where she would thrive.

In this episode of Great Women in Compliance, Dr. Hemma R. Lomax speaks with Sam Flynn, co-founder of Josef, about the transformation of legal and compliance functions through technology. They discuss the importance of human-centered design, the role of AI in legal architecture, and the need for trust in AI tools.

At Josef, Sam combines legal expertise with product and operational leadership to help teams rethink how legal and compliance work gets done — shifting from inbox-driven bottlenecks to strategic architectures that deliver decision-useful guidance at scale. He is a frequent speaker on generative AI in legal, a board member of the Center for Legal Innovation, and an advocate for human-centered legal design.

In this episode of the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, Lisa Fine and Sarah Hadden (Gen X) are joined by Rebecca Anker and Emily Frank for an engaging conversation on what the next generation needs from ethics and compliance. Rebecca, Gen-Z, and Emily, a millennial, share candid insights shaped by their experiences as part of the emerging workforce. The discussion explores the real-life impact of generational influences—from questioning hierarchy and outdated practices to prioritizing transparency and usability— minimizing the traditional reliance on hierarchy. Rebecca and Emily discuss how the rising stars in the profession are taking the evolution to a collaborative, service-oriented function that partners with the business and clearly explains the why behind policies and decisions to new levels. They also discuss current topics, including creative, shorter training approaches, balancing regulatory requirements with innovation, responsible AI use, and rethinking speak-up programs. They discuss why language matters, why “whistleblower” may no longer resonate, and how normalizing the act of raising concerns can strengthen speak-up culture across generations. The episode wraps with practical advice from Rebecca and Emily for more “seasoned” compliance professionals to stay curious and engage with new voices and ideas. It is exciting to see where they and their peers will take the profession. 

Today, Take a Moment  We honor Dr. King and the loving activists who gave their lives. We hold their lives in memory, as masked men hunt down our neighbors and shoot anyone who argues.  Foreign and domestic security seeks to surveil, track and neutralize people that are in any way righteously moral, funny in the wrong way, or…just… well, different, other.  Great Women and Great Men died for our rights, but now you can be a martyr just by making an ill-advised u-turn or bird watching a bird thats flown into the wrong backyard. Look up at the sky.    Earth Riot Produced by William Talen, Jason Candler and Savitri D Edited by Jason Candler Natural News by Savitri D This show is part of Pantheon Podcasts.

In this roundtable episode of the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, Lisa Fine and Ellen Hunt are joined by whistleblower attorney Mary Inman and Professor Kate Kenny from the University of Galway to explore what really happens when women speak up. Drawing on Professor Kenny's decade-long research on whistleblowing—including recent work with Transparency International—the conversation looks at why women whistleblowers often experience greater challenges, which deter them from raising concerns or deciding to leave a job, as opposed to speaking up. The discussion unpacks how gender stereotypes, gaslighting, and organizational culture shape how concerns are received, and why women are more likely to speak up when strong protections, anonymity, and collective reporting options are in place. Mary Inman adds a practitioner's perspective, sharing what she sees in real cases and why many women choose to report together rather than go it alone. As Ethics and Compliance practitioners think about how to help people speak up, this episode challenges us to look at our programs and to make improvements to support anyone raising concerns.

When the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church announced an unprecedented Woman's Seminar recently, we were stunned! After 200 years of profound misogyny and exploitation, was the Handmaid's Tale of the Real Housewives of PBCC finally coming to an end? Were women actually being allowed to think, to speak, to make decisions for themselves? Would there be female trustees and directors of ecosystem entities?What would the theme of the Woman's Seminar be? Empowerment? Autonomy? Trusting your feminine instincts? Equality? How to say NO to abusive men? Equal pay in the workplace? Protecting yourself and your children from the PBCC's ubiquitous pedophiles? - or perhaps a more scriptural theme – the Great Women of the Bible – Esther, Ruth, Deborah, the Queen of Sheba?Sadly, the vaunted “Woman's Seminar “ was mostly about…wait for it…The Great Men. Yes, you read that right – a Woman's Seminar all about THE GREAT MEN. How women should utterly submit themselves to these exulted demi-gods, how just a look from their Beedy eyes should reduce every female to trembling submission, and thrilling recollections from a sister of being kissed at age 12 by the lecherous and despicable JTJr.This revolting seminar, highly scripted and doubtless written in its entirety by men, exceeded our worst conjectures. Listen as Andrea, Cassie and Cheryl rip into this heinous piece of coercive cultic crap, and Richard exposes some remarkable and shocking secrets about Dean Hales' shoes.Link for Insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/hpta9ex2owz14zfsynekk/45000-156.mp4?rlkey=jh9h19y64q6jm22k6ml77wmjd&st=zfucjk6i&dl=0To share your story or be a guest on the show, email info.getalife@proton.meGet a Life Paypal donations -https://www.paypal.me/getalifepodcastGet a Life GoFundMe-https://gofund.me/614bcd06Olive Leaf Network- https://oliveleaf.network/Thinking of Leaving Pamphlet and resources - https://oliveleaf.network/resources/Link to Anchor/Spotify- https://open.spotify.com/show/4GhNv1hZp6tjfLyA4s6PMu?si=Gs5euyWpT4y7lOS8OTe4XAPreston Down Trust Decision-https://www.gov.uk/government/news/commission-publishes-report-on-the-preston-down-trustAberdeen incident- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1riImgAqwaqGwjYq6vRQIr4_jscJA0eQN/view?usp=drive_linkIf we walk in the light letters-https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WlgJladl1r95YGxW0FbZ0prYfjlg7FU/view?usp=sharingAdmin/Legal email address:stouffvillelegal-gal@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #expose #exposure #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #rules #strict #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #OSG #johnhales #shutup #withdrawnfrom #worldly #excommunicate #assemblydeath #christiansect #christiancult #canadiancult #canadiansect #sect #worldwidesect #worldwidecult #cultescape #cultescapestory #bully #bullying #brokenfamily #awareness #cultescape #cultandculturepodcast #cultescapee #cultescapeer #cultescapeeinterview #askingforhelp #unispace

In this episode of Great Women in Compliance, Lisa sits down with Valentina Lana, a Paris-based attorney and ethics & compliance leader who bridges industry and academia.   Valentina shares how an early-career opportunity sparked her passion for anti-corruption work and led her to where she is today.  She has helped build major compliance programs and teaches at Sciences Po.  She worked with Michael Sapin on the Sapin II law and breaks down its core elements for the GWIC audience.  She discusses the requirement for companies to prevent corruption through formal compliance programs—and highlights why risk mapping and third-party due diligence remain the biggest practical challenges for organizations. Valentina also discusses the evolution of cross-border cooperation between France and the U.S., how trust was built after years of tension, and why she believes that the partnership remains stable despite shifting global priorities.  She shares her view on AI's growing role in compliance, emphasizing that AI is a powerful assistant, not a replacement for human judgment, nuance, and interpersonal insight, which remain the core of what we do.

Today we have a special joint episode of GWIC and Everything Compliance. Lisa Fine and Hemma Lomax recently joined Matt Kelly and Jonathan Marks for an episode of Everything Compliance (Episode 162-the Numbers Numbers Numbers edition) which will post on Thursday December 4. We are cross-posting the episode here on Great Women in Compliance.  Lisa Fine, Hemma Lomax, Matt Kelly, and Jonathan Marks each bring a unique perspective to the discussion of corporate corruption and the intersection with drug cartels, as exemplified by the Millicom Cellular case. Lisa highlights the necessity of understanding the risks associated with smaller markets and the complexities of joint ventures, advocating for enhanced compliance education and vigilance to mitigate cartel-related corruption. Hemma underscores the importance of integrating proactive compliance measures and automation, promoting "everyday integrity as a service" to preempt issues like bribery and data leakage. Meanwhile, Matt and Jonathan focus on the structural vulnerabilities in governance and the critical need for transparency and robust monitoring systems to prevent the entanglement of corporate operations with cartel activities, cautioning against underestimating the risks in seemingly low-revenue markets.  Highlights include: ·      Millicom Cellular: Corporate Corruption and Cartel Connections ·      Enhancing Compliance through Systematic Involvement Strategies" ·      AI-Driven Real-Time Risk Detection in Compliance ·      Enhancing Governance to Prevent Sports Betting Scandals ·      Regulatory Changes in Global Compliance Environment ·      AI-Enhanced Policy Clarity and Management Techniques ·      Raves and Rants

Too many women still question whether they're “good enough” to lead. In this episode, leadership expert Liz Weber—author of Don't Let 'Em Treat You Like a Girl and What Women in Leadership Need to Stop Doing—shares how to quiet self-doubt, stop hesitating, and consistently show you belong at the table by leading with confidence, clarity, and conviction.

What happens when you drop a senior project manager into a room full of attorneys, tribal leaders, political operators, and massive personalities? In this Top Shelf Replay, Kate & Kim revisit one of the most beloved—and re-listened—episodes in PM Happy Hour history: "Stage Direction in the Boardroom" featuring master facilitator Sheila Morago. If you've ever wondered how elite leaders steer complicated, high-stakes conversations without losing their cool (or losing six months of work with one careless comment), this episode is your new playbook. Sheila shares the tools, tactics, and emotional intelligence behind managing senior stakeholders, building trust, engineering alignment, and yes…occasionally staging a fight to get everyone to "yes." Get ready—this episode is full of real-world policy drama, tribal gaming insight, negotiation theater, and powerful lessons for any PM trying to move from "task master" to strategic leader. Great Quotes From the Episode "Never ask a question you don't already know the answer to." "These aren't meetings—they're Kabuki theater." "Nothing brings people together like a common enemy." "If you don't let them vent early, they will vent later—and at the worst possible moment." "Policy takes years. Tech takes a week." What You'll Learn (Key Outcomes) 1. How Senior Leaders Actually Negotiate Sheila breaks down what it takes to orchestrate alignment among executives, attorneys, policymakers, and stakeholders—none of whom work for you, all of whom report to someone powerful. 2. The Secret Skill That Makes PMs Into Leaders How listening (really listening) becomes your most strategic tool at the senior level. 3. Managing High-Stakes Meetings Without Losing Control Why should one person guide the conversation? How to posit their positions to draw out quiet or hesitant stakeholders. How to keep the emotional temperature safe but not silent. 4. The Power of the 'Safe Zone' Why must you create a space where stakeholders can speak unfiltered, off-record, and without fear of political consequences. 5. Relationship-Building: The Long Game Happy hours, lunches, hallway conversations—how the "work between the work" makes the boardroom possible. 6. The Art of the Staged Fight Why conflict must be visible. Why letting people "win" (feel like they won) is essential. Why is the real battle scripted before the meeting starts? 7. Using Common Ground—and Common Foes When "we all want the same thing" works. When "the real enemy is over there" works even better. 8. How to Lock Down Decisions So They Don't Backslide Why immediate execution is key. How implementation momentum prevents second-guessing. 9. Lessons Kate & Kim Learned 8 Years Later Why parts of this episode hit harder after a decade of PM leadership. How letting emotions into the meeting leads to better outcomes. What PMs often overlook when they're new to senior-level facilitation. If you want to level up from "planner of tasks" to leader of leaders, this replay is essential listening. Whether you're negotiating policy, driving enterprise transformation, or just trying to get two teams to agree on anything—Sheila's battle-tested tools will help you steer the room, keep your cool, and bring people with you.

In this episode of Great Women in Compliance, host Sarah Hadden sits down with Nicole Rose—lawyer, artist, author, and creator of the FRAME Training Method—to explore how human behavior, psychology, and creativity can transform compliance from a checkbox exercise into a movement that drives real change. Nicole shares the story behind her “Moneyball Compliance” approach, showing how small, measurable behaviors can predict integrity, build stronger cultures, and make ethics training finally stick. The two also discuss Nicole's upcoming book, Told: How In-House Legal and Compliance Professionals Secure Airtime, Gain Traction, and Transform Organizations. Four Takeaways: 1. Compliance Is About People, Not Policies Nicole's journey from lawyer to artist to compliance innovator reveals that effective compliance starts with understanding human behavior and culture—not just ticking boxes or enforcing rules. 2. Behavior Beats Metrics Traditional compliance programs measure completion rates; Nicole's “Moneyball Compliance” approach measures behaviors that predict integrity—like speaking up, giving feedback, and practicing micro-activities that build ethical “muscle memory.” 3. Curiosity Is the Secret Ingredient Engagement happens when employees are curious. Nicole emphasizes creating “pre-frames” that connect compliance messages to what people already know and care about, making training meaningful and memorable. 4. Make It Real, Not Funny Humor has its place in presentations, but when it comes to serious topics like bribery, privacy, or human rights, authenticity and relatability are far more powerful than laughs. Real characters and relatable stories drive real change.

In this episode of Great Women in Compliance, co-host Hemma Lomax sits down with Anna Pitt-Stanley, Co-Founder and COO of Umony, to explore how the next generation of compliance technology can transform how organizations listen to their people, their culture, and their risk signals. From her early work in voice innovation to co-founding Umony, Anna's journey is rooted in a simple but powerful idea: that the truth of human behavior lives in communication. She and her co-founder, Dean Elwood, were driven by the frustration of seeing compliance programs overwhelmed by data but starved for insight. Together, they set out to build a company that turns conversations into decision-useful intelligence, without losing the human heart at the center of it all. Anna shares how she leads with empathy, builds trust through operational discipline, and models what it looks like to be a C-suite leader who truly cares. This episode blends technology, leadership, and compassion — and reminds us that compliance done well is less about control and more about connection. Episode highlight: What does “the truth of behavior lives in communication” mean for compliance and culture? How to balance surveillance and stewardship in modern communications governance. Building a culture of compliance and compassion inside a high-growth tech company. Leadership lessons from scaling with integrity: operational empathy, psychological safety, and trust by design. The future of decision-useful compliance and what human-centric technology looks like in practice. Biography: Anna Pitt-Stanley is Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Umony, where she leads operational governance, talent, partnerships, and disciplined execution as the company scales. Before Umony, Anna co-founded Voxygen, a voice and communications innovation company later acquired by Lebara Group, where she served on the leadership team and board. Over her career, she has built a reputation for bridging complex, regulated environments with practical, people-first execution, delivering programs that align compliance, operations, and culture. Anna holds an LL.M. in Law from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). She also serves as a Director of Umony Limited and Umony Holdings Limited. She is known for her focus on operational empathy, governance excellence, and creating workplaces where compliance and compassion thrive side by side.

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance podcast with Hemma Lomax and Lisa Fine, sponsored by Corporate Compliance Insight and a part of the Compliance Podcast Network.  My guest today isn't really a guest, she's so much more.  She is an architect of GWIC, my first partner in compliance, and my first compliance friend who is still a dear friend.  She coined the phrase “Send the Elevator Back Down,” taught me about tall poppy syndrome, and I am still using her cheat codes.  Of course, it's Mary Shirley! Mary, can you update everyone on all the cool things going on since you became, as we call it #GWICemerita? As a global compliance leader, who has lived in several countries and now three very different states in the US, what do you see as the principles of a "culture of integrity" that apply to any business, regardless of geography or industry? ·       While there has been change in US laws, particularly the FCPA, and newer laws in the EU and the UK, among others, are you seeing any shifts how to define – or ommunicate – a culture of integrity?   ·       You have put together a list of questions for job seekers to ask about terms of compliance programs and a culture of integrity.  What do you think is the most revealing one and why? o   Mine is “can I talk to my predecessor?” I will be seeing you very soon at SCCE CEI.  You and Matt Kelly are presenting “AI Governance for N00bs: A Beginner's Guide for the Non-Tech Compliance Practitioner” on Sunday[LF1]  to kick things off.   ·       What do you see as the biggest opportunities for compliance professionals to use AI and machine learning?   ·       What challenges do you see for integrating AI and machine learning into their compliance program, and how should we approach it?   o   What about the algorithmic bias?     ·       It seems like ethics and compliance are being welcomed as "partners" at the AI governance table. What do you think is the most significant reason for this shift, and what can a compliance professional do to ensure they maintain that strategic seat at the table?      When you think about the first 200 episodes, do you have a specific non-substantive, non-podcast memory that sticks out to you?  Besides the origin story – which I still tell!  [LF1]Right between the end of the Buffalo Bills game and cocktails - perfect timing ☺️

Hui Chen is a luminary in the world of Ethics and Compliance, and she is our guest on today's episode of Great Women in Compliance. Today, Hui is one of the co-founders of CDE Advisors, which stands for “Culture. Data. Ethics.” Most of us know Hui from her work at the Department of Justice (DOJ) and her contributions to the Evaluation of Corporate Compliance for the Fraud Section. However, my career path included being a prosecutor, in-house compliance work, and even being inspired to pursue a Master's degree in Divinity after the 9/11 attacks. Hui discusses the origins of the ECCP and her perspective on its current use. She also discusses the opportunity in the “FCPA pause” and how organizations can broaden their ethical considerations beyond foreign bribery to focus on relationships with all stakeholders.

Anne Bradstreet was a young Puritan woman with ink-stained fingers and a heart full of dreams. Growing up in 17th-century England, she found solace in her father's library. Anne felt a God-given calling to express herself through poetry. Her faith grew stronger after a battle with smallpox as a teenager. The suffering drew her closer to God.Anne married Simon Bradstreet, a man of wisdom and quiet strength. He saw the gift God had placed within her and encouraged her to write.Together, they journeyed to the New World, settling in the rugged wilderness of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Anne clung to her faith and found comfort in poetry. She poured her heart onto parchment. To her, Anne's words were an act of worship.Then came the fire that consumed her home. All her family's earthly possessions were turned to ash. But rather than letting grief consume her, Anne turned to God. Through her sorrow, she penned verses of trust and surrender. Her resilience and unwavering faith became a light to many. Soon, her brother-in-law took Anne's poetry to England, where it was published, making her the first published female poet in America. Though she never sought fame, her words carried weight, offering insight into faith, perseverance, and the unique struggles of womanhood in a rigid Puritan society.As the years passed, Anne remained devoted to writing, using her gift to leave a legacy of faith.
