Reshma Saujani is not satisfied. As a leading activist and the founder of Girls Who Code and MOMS F1RST, Reshma is not waiting around for change to happen. She's making it happen. She has spent over a decade building movements to fight for women's and girls' economic empowerment. Girls Who Code has taught over 500,000 girls through direct in-person computer science education programming, working to close the gender gap in the tech sector. Her newest non-profit, Moms First, advocates for policies to support moms impacted by the pandemic. Moms First believes America doesn't work if we don't work for moms. Reshma is also the bestselling author of Pay Up: The Future of Women and Work (and Why It's Different Than You Think) and Brave Not Perfect: Fear Less, Fail More, Live Bolder. Her influential TED Talk: "Teach girls Bravery, not perfection," has more than 6.2 million views globally. Beginning her career as an attorney and a Democratic organizer, Reshma surged onto the political scene as the first Indian American woman to run for US Congress. Her approach to movement building has been recognized broadly, and she's been covered in Fortune World's Greatest Leaders, Fortune's 40 under 40, WSJ magazine Innovator of the Year, Forbes Most Powerful Women Changing the World, and Fast Company, 100 Most Creative People. In this episode, Reshma is incredibly transparent about her decisions, how she thinks about her priorities, and her passion for fighting injustice, particularly for women and girls. We discuss her career pivots and how she used to chase shiny objects in search of credibility before realizing that the only thing she wants now is to pass policies and see cultural change. We discuss the challenges mothers face in the workplace and the economic benefits of retaining women. Reshma would like nothing more than for corporate leaders to rip up their ERG playbooks and give working moms what they need– support and flexibility.

Megan in her own words:   “I'm Megan (she/her) and I live in Portland, OR. I'm on a mission to inspire people to live their life without limits. I want to show people that you can do, be and live however you want AND that you can change your mind about what that means any time you want. Your mind has the power to climb whatever mountains your facing and I'm here to help guide you.   I fell in love with rock and mountain climbing 4 years ago and struggled to find my place at first. Instagram played a huge role in helping me step into my power when I started following other plus size adventurers. I want to increase representation of plus size people in the outdoors, especially in leadership/guide roles. I want to see more people who look like me in marketing from outdoor gear companies. And I REALLY want to get better technical gear for bigger bodies so we can keep doing all the things outside safely (and even fashionably? What a dream).”   Dr. Megan Banker practices from a Health at Every Size model meaning she teaches her patients how to improve their health without focusing on weight. Megan is a co-founder of Climb Big, an initiative to increase representation of plus size rock climbers.   “My body is not an object for your actions or feelings to be directed. My body is not a thing that receives action or inaction. It does not exist for your fantasy, ridicule, attitudes, judgements, lust, admiration or hatred. My body is a subject. It is. It does. It moves. It breathes. It experiences. It loves. It is so much more than an object. My body is a subject.” - Shared by Megan on IG - 3rd April 2021.   Content Warning: We talk about bullying and dieting at a young age.   New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday and Thursday at 7am UK time - Make sure you hit the subscribe button so you don't miss out.    The Tough Girl Podcast is sponsorship and ad free thanks to the monthly financial support of patrons.

Do you ever feel crushed under the weight of your own expectations? Do you often lose sleep ruminating over a tiny mistake or worrying about what someone else thinks of you? Do you run yourself ragged trying to do it all at home and at work, with a smile and not a hair out of place?

For you, is failure simply not an option? In a book inspired by her hugely popular TED Talk, Reshma Saujani, author of https://www.amazon.com/Brave-Not-Perfect-Celebrating-Imperfection/dp/1524762350/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Brave%2C+Not+Perfect%3A+Fear+Less%2C+Fail+More%2C+and+Live+Bolder&qid=1616636812&s=digital-text&sr=1-1 (Brave, Not Perfect: Fear Less, Fail More, and Live Bolder), says you're not alone and she challenges women to look at their lives through a new lens.

In this episode, we talk to Reshma Saujani, the Founder and CEO of Girls Who Code, a national non-profit organization working to close the gender gap in computer science and technology. We learn what inspired her new book, 'Brave, Not Perfect: Fear Less, Fail More, and Live Bolder' and why it's so important to take chances, embrace the unknown, and unlearn perfectionism. As Reshma says, "we need to start doing things we suck at", like going to a dance class for fun even when we know we're going to be the worst one in there, in order to learn to embrace imperfection and failure. She believes that by gaining resilience and making bravery a lifelong habit, we will lead much happier and more fulfilled lives. **** Thanks to our sponsor of this episode! --> Magic Spoon: try a variety pack and get free shipping by visiting magicspoon.com/ntm. --> BetterHelp: get 10% off your first month of online counseling if there are issues that are interfering with your happiness or preventing you from achieving your goals by visiting betterhelp.com/nobody. --> AirMedCare: If you're ever in need of emergency medical transport, AirMedCare Network provides members with world class air transport services to the nearest appropriate hospital with no out of pocket expenses.

Since deciding at a young age that she would do the opposite of what was expected, Alex Depledge has become a successful serial entrepreneur and advocate for change. After leaving a high-flying career in management consulting, Alex taught herself how to create a business during cram sessions at the Royal Festival Hall and went on to exit from her first business in just three years.  When most expected her to retire on the windfall, Alex got into the trenches again and started another now-multi-million-pound company to prove that she was more than a "one hit wonder" and to serve her broader mission of changing the way we work.  Throughout the ups and downs, Alex has set out to prove - to herself and others - that women can have it all: a career, a family, and a life they love. Eschewing over used concepts like work-life balance, Alex shows us that balance isn't possible, but that meaning and impact are. Join us for this powerful and inspiring conversation about self-belief, discomfort, and the power of human resilience.Check out RESI at: https://resi.co.uk/And for more great Entreprenora content, please follow us on Instagram at @Entreprenora_official or come visit us at www.entreprenora.co.ukThink Bigger.

They were pioneers in their fields, yet their names are scarcely known – because they didn’t have a Y chromosome.  We examine the accomplishments of two women who pioneered code breaking and astronomy during the early years of the twentieth century and did so in the face of social opprobrium and a frequently hostile work environment. Henrietta Leavitt measured the brightnesses of thousands of stars and discovered a way to gauge the distances to galaxies, a development that soon led to the concept of the Big Bang. Elizabeth Friedman, originally hired to test whether William Shakespeare really wrote his plays, was soon establishing the science of code breaking, essential to success in the two world wars.  Also, the tech industry is overwhelmingly male.  Girls Who Code is an initiative to redress the balance by introducing girls to computer programming, and encouraging them to follow careers in tech.  Guests: Jason Fagone – Author of “The Woman Who Smashed Codes: A True Story of Love, Spies, and the Unlikely Heroine Who Outwitted America’s Enemies” Lauren Gunderson – Playwright of Silent Sky, which is being performed all over the world, form the First Folio Theatre to the Repertory Philippines Reshma Saujani – Founder and CEO of Girls Who Code, and the author of "Brave, Not Perfect: Fear Less, Fail More, and Live Bolder”

InternCLE Episode 028 – Kris McGuigan – Professional CourageGetting Started with Professional Courage On LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/professionalcourageProfessional coaching business. Helping high potentials position themselves in the marketplace. Resume writing, coaching, speaking engagements and workshops. Kris was influenced by her business coach Kim Avery in helping her “get out of her own way”. Coaching is good when you want to create focus and accountability around your goals. Be intentional in your career search – pick 7-10 target organizations and spend time getting to know the company. LinkedIn is a great place to start, read about the company and follow them on LinkedIn. Check out Glassdoor and industry groups for the space you want to get into. Check your LinkedIn connections to see if you can get an introduction from a shared contact. Take the time to get to know the people and the company. Getting to know culture – understand what you want in a company first. What is going to help you thrive? Ask questions around what is important to you. i.e. How do you evaluate your team? What does success look like at a company? Do most people work on teams or individually?Branding – fancy way of saying “what is authentically you” – you need to be aware of and able to communicate your return on investment (ROI). For example, some people’s gifts or skills seem personal but do relate to their ability to bring value to an organization. Your network is your net worth, as they say. If you were going to a hometown football game and ran into an old contact, you wouldn’t walk up and say hey I am looking for a job. You would establish a connection first and express genuine interest in their lives, and then you may start a discussion around how you would learn from them. Your genuine interest in someone should come through in your approach.

Imagine if you lived without the fear of not being good enough. If you didn't care how your life looked on Instagram, or worry about what total strangers thought of you. Imagine if you could let go of the guilt, and stop beating yourself up for tiny mistakes. What if, in every decision you faced, you took the bolder path? That’s the mission of our latest guest, Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code and author of Brave, Not Perfect: Fear Less, Fail More, and Live Bolder. Too many of us feel crushed under the weight of our own expectations. We run ourselves ragged trying to please everyone, all the time. We lose sleep ruminating about whether we may have offended someone, pass up opportunities that take us out of our comfort zones, and avoid rejection at all costs. There's a reason we act this way, Saujani says. “As girls, we were taught to play it safe. Well-meaning parents and teachers praised us for being quiet and polite, urged us to be careful so we didn't get hurt, and steered us to activities at which we could shine.” By choosing bravery over perfection, girls can find the power to claim their voice, to leave behind what makes them unhappy, and go for the things they genuinely, passionately want. In Brave, Not Perfect, Saujani shares powerful insights and practices to help us let go of our need for perfection and make bravery a lifelong habit. By being brave, not perfect, we can all become the authors of our biggest, boldest, and most joyful life. Have a money question? Email me here. Please leave us a rating or review in Apple Podcasts.

Laura connects with Reshma Soujani, founder and CEO of Girls Who Code, and author of Brave, Not Perfect: Fear Less, Fail More and Live Bolder, to discuss breaking down the fear of not being good enough as not just an uncomfortable emotion - but as a fundamental barrier to our ability to live fully realized lives. Listen in as Reshma explains the power bravery has to free us from the tyranny of perfection, and lead us to happier, more impactful lives along the way.Originally aired with Host Laura Zarrow on April 3, 2019 on SiriusXM's Business Radio Powered by The Wharton School, Channel 132 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Reshma Saujani is a pretty incredible person. First, she is the Founder and CEO of Girls Who Code, a national non-profit organization working to close the gender gap in technology and change the image of what a programmer looks like and does. And as if that wasn't enough, she is also the first Indian American woman to run for U.S. Congress, a viral TED speaker, and the author of a new book, "Brave, Not Perfect: Fear Less, Fail More, and Live Bolder." Today, Reshma and Jessica take us inside what it looks like to be a little less perfect (even forgoing spellcheck!) to make room for the things that matter. In addition, Reshma shares some incredible advice for raising daughters who aren't afraid to fail. Show Notes

In this episode we discuss: her thoughts on leadership: “To me, leadership is to inspire others to get uncomfortable and lead them to take action to make changes in the world.” how it took her a long time to think of herself as a leader because of messaging that says women, and especially women of color, don’t get to be leaders. her experience growing up in culturally-diverse Singapore, and how that has framed her passion for working with underserved people. how she was always a storyteller but didn’t realize there were careers where she could tell stories for a living. her method for teaching her students about privilege by having them do a “privilege walk.” how she intentionally networks and has created intentional communities, especially for people who are considered a minority.

Are you ready to create a Relationship-Based Business Plan that will help you achieve greater impact (and income)? The next cohort for The M.O.R.E. Program for Entrepreneurial Women begins in Spring 2019. You want to have a greater impact and increased income. The problem is that there are so many options for how to build your business that you can feel stuck, overwhelmed, and like you're running out of time. The reason options are overwhelming is that you're looking at them as a series of disconnected steps when -- to make the most of your time -- you need a strategy that connects only the most important and highest impact ones. Why? Because you know it's true that if you try to do everything, you will accomplish nothing. Which means, to achieve your goal, you have to invest in a strategy to put time on your side. How? This program will help you find the clarity to determine what is the right next step for your business. A book? A podcast? An online course? Masterminds? Speaking on bigger stages? Together we will design a 12-month Relationship-Based Business Plan that will allow you to stack your successes to create momentum and leverage your limited time. Read about this program and then schedule a complimentary 60-minute session to see if it's a good fit. www.

Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code, is on a mission to get more young women into computer science. She says the problem isn't lack of interest. Her non-profit organization has trained thousands of girls to code, and the ranks of female science and engineering graduates continue to grow. And yet men still dominate the tech industry. Saujani believes companies can certainly do more to promote diversity. But she also wants girls and women to stop letting perfectionism hold them back from volunteering for the most challenging tasks and jobs. She is the author of the book "Brave, Not Perfect: Fear Less, Fail More, and Live Bolder."

Reshma Saujani, Founder & CEO of Girls Who Code and author of “Brave, Not Perfect: Fear Less, Fail More, and Live Bolder” discusses how we can reduce gender gaps by teaching girls to take risks and learn from failure effectively.

In this episode of Positive University we're sharing a special message from bestselling author and reinvention strategist, Marshawn Evans Daniels. A few quoteable takeaways from Marshawn include: We are created on purpose, with purpose from a place of purpose for a purpose. If you don't know your purpose, you're not alone. You have to FACE IT to FIX IT. We're taught retirement instead of reinvention. We're taught to pursue success instead of significance and careers instead of calling. Don't get sick with the disease, the Disease to Please (other people). Who you decided to be isn't always who God designed you to be. Believe bigger. Don't believe the label that's a fable of who you really are. Labels often limit. Do you have the Purpose Tug? That feeling like there is more? There's a reason (because there is). Every Life Shift first begins with a Mind Shift. Your life is not your own. What can you do to serve others? Believe bigger. Live bolder.
