From Authenticity to Audacity: Alina Addison's Blueprint for Purpose-Led Leadership We chat to Alina Addison, author of ‘The Audacity Spectrum: Leading with Care, Courage and Non-Conformity' In our latest Starts at the Top episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Alina Addison, author of "The Audacity Spectrum" and founder of Adaptaa. Alina's take on leadership is bold and refreshing. She challenges the idea that leaders are often pigeonholed as "too much" or "not enough", instead encouraging us to embrace our quirks and lead authentically. We covered quite a bit of ground, including: Alina's intriguing 'eight A's' of leadership Why so-called 'soft skills' are actually hard to master Balancing care for others with self-care The role of emotional intelligence in decision-making Practical tips for more authentic leadership Whether you're grappling with how to lead differently, or simply curious about new approaches to leadership, there's plenty to chew on here. We were particularly struck by Alina's simple yet powerful advice: take a moment to breathe, say 'thank you' daily, and don't be afraid to take that first step towards change. Do give it a listen. We think you'll find it a thought-provoking way to spend 45 minutes of your day. In tech news, Zoe and Paul discuss why diversity in the tech workforce is getting less funding and airtime.   Notes More about Alina's book ‘The Audacity Spectrum' https://profilebooks.com/2024/08/19/the-audacity-spectrum-read-an-extract/ Information about Adaptaa https://adaptaa.co.uk/ BBC story about women in tech groups and diversity https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c7858w2yj75o Our episode with Maggie Philbin https://www.startsatthetop.co.uk/episodes/episode13-maggiephilbin-teentech And please leave us a review if you enjoy what you hear!

Last year, this event garnered a staggering 3.4 million participants, a testament to its fun and engaging approach to digital literacy.Maggie Philbin's illustrious career has intertwined with the rich tapestry of computing history in the UK, particularly through her involvement with the BBC's Computer Literacy Project. This visionary initiative, which took shape in 1979 and spanned from 1982 to 1989, recognized the pivotal role of microprocessors and the profound societal and economic importance of understanding the language of computers.In the early 1980s, Maggie and the BBC teamed up to create a home computer—the iconic BBC Micro, which found its way into countless schools and homes, leaving an indelible mark on generations to come. Alongside this, her influential broadcasting series such as "The Computer Programme" (1982), "Making the Most of the Micro" (1983), and "With a Little Help from the Chip" (1985) played a pivotal role in inspiring a whole generation of young coders. Many of the boys and girls who tuned in to these programs found a lifelong interest in coding, a passion yet to be fully explored.With Europe Code Week now at the forefront of digital education, Maggie Philbin takes the lead in explaining the significance of the events taking place. Her dedication to promoting coding and digital literacy ensures that those with both established and burgeoning interests in coding have access to a wealth of resources and opportunities.Maggie Philbin's enduring legacy as a champion of digital literacy and her commitment to empowering individuals to embrace the world of coding make her an invaluable advocate for Europe Code Week.

Now, most of us know Maggie from the days of Swap Shop. Millions of children tuned in every Saturday – and she helped transform weekend mornings. Noel Edmonds, Keith Chegwin, John Craven and then Maggie bringing joy to our screens.  Hours of live television every week (top fact, they only ever rehearsed the first 30 seconds) and their audience was so big they attracted the biggest stars in the world.  She then moved to Tomorrow's World where for 8 years she helped change the way we all think about science and technology. This all helped inspire her to begin her own Next Chapter and set up the charity Teen Tech which 15 years later she and her team are still changing and transforming the way young people think about science and maths. Maggie believes it's all about learning – and we must all keep doing this, not just for us but for our children's too.  Maggie is open, honest and humble. She tells us how she applied for the Swap Shop job without even knowing about it and how self-doubt nearly cost her that job at Tomorrow's World. But a long time ago she taught herself to recognise her fear and she promised to say 'yes' more. I'm so pleased she said yes to this conversation..

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Sharon Gless, Legendary Emmy & Golden Globe Award Winning Actress, Author, “Apparently There Were Complaints” About Harvey's guest: Today's special guest, Sharon Gless, is a beloved, multiple Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning actress who's been dazzling audiences since she became the very last contract player at Universal Studios in 1972.   After distinguishing herself in a number of memorable roles on TV including Kathleen Faverty in Marcus Welby, Maggie Philbin in “Switch”, Sidney Enderman in “Centennial”, Penny Alston in “Turnabout”, and Jane Jeffries in “Housecalls”, she landed the iconic role of Christine Cagney in the groundbreaking TV series, “Cagney and Lacey”, which was the first TV drama with 2 female lead characters, for which she won 2 Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award for Best Leading Actress in a Drama Series.  She went on to win another Golden Globe Award and 2 more Emmy nominations for her starring role in “The Trials of Rosie O'Neill”.    And then, for 5 glorious seasons, she became immortalized for exemplifying the warmth and loving acceptance of the ideal Mom in another groundbreaking TV show, “Queer as Folk”, which became the #1 show on the Showtime cable network, and forever changed the landscape of how the LGBTQ community was portrayed on television.    After playing Lynn Warner on “The State Within” and the evil Colleen Rose on “Nip/Tuck”, which earned her a 9th Emmy nomination, she gave us yet another Emmy nominated iconic performance, as the chain-smoking, hypochondriac mother from hell, Madeline Westen in “Burn Notice”, which ran for 7 seasons.   She continues to deliver outstanding performances on TV in “The Gifted”, “Casualty”, and in the upcoming TV movie “Constance”, and in a feature film being released next year, “Fast Charlie”, co-starring Pierce Brosnan and the late James Caan.  In addition to having a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, she's been nominated for 23 prestigious acting awards, including 10 Emmy Award and 7 Golden Globe Award nominations.   And now, her best selling memoir entitled, “Apparently There Were Complaints”, which was released last year, is now coming out in paperback on November 29th.  This is a deeply personal, brutally honest and highly relatable book that I simply COULD NOT put down. For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ https://www.sharongless.com/https://www.facebook.com/OfficialSharonGless/https://twitter.com/SharonGlesshttp://instagram.com/sharonglessrealhttps://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002102/ #SharonGless  #harveybrownstoneinterviews

I grew up watching Maggie Philbin on Tomorrow's World, the stories she covered on this iconic BBC science and tech magazine show, were the core of many family discussion at the dinner table, about pie in the eye tech that would be part of our future.  All of these ideas came true and now Maggie has turned her attention to inspiring diversity into science and technology through teenagers!  She offers a fresh and alternative perspective to encouraging and supporting people into STEM, and over 40 years later, she continues to push boundaries in this male-dominated field.      

In this episode, Richard is joined by Maggie Philbin, OBE. She has worked in radio and television for over 30 years on a wide range of science, medical and technology programmes from Tomorrow's World to Bang Goes the Theory.   In 2008, she co-founded TeenTech, an award-winning organisation which works across the UK getting young people innovating, creating building skills and preparing for a fast-changing future. Richard and Maggie talk about what the government can do to encourage more young people into STEM subjects, how young people view the IT and tech sectors, and how businesses can encourage more women into the industry.  And, Maggie shares what she finds exciting about the tech space right now, how she started in TV and why she was attracted to a career in tech. Plus, she answers a series of quick-fire questions submitted by listeners of the show.  Maggie also talks extensively about her time on Tomorrow's World, the inventors she enjoyed meeting and the challenges of doing live TV. She explains why she set up the TeenTech initiative and how it helps young people find real opportunities for their futures.  Mentioned in This Episode https://teentech.com/ (TeenTech) https://teentech.com/press-release-teentech-live-comes-to-the-north-east/ (The TeenTech Live Newcastle) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomorrow%27s_World (Tomorrow's World) https://www.computerweekly.com/news/252507482/Computer-Weekly-announces-the-2021-Most-Influential-Women-in-UK-Tech (Computer Weekly Most Influential Women in Tech list) https://www.northernpowerwomen.com/ (Northern Power Women)

If there are two things that The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour strives to champion at every turn, it's a) picking apart needless detail in things we've just watched, and b) The Future™. Their booze-fuelled discourse elevated once again by the magnificent Ozzy Bognops, our plucky protagonists wade bottle-opener-first into both... This week it's 1982, where powers of observation, recall and generally giving a single cinematic fig are stretched to their very limits under the auspices of Brian Trueman in Screen Test. Then, after tea, it's time to sit back down and be left utterly agog at the miraculous inventions and advancements which await our society in Tomorrow's World. Is Trueman's fragile mortal shell about to be torn asunder by the God-like power he wields over his contestants? Are radio-telephones really going to become all of the rage outside of That London? And is there any greater tonic in these troubled times for the middle-aged man than Maggie Philbin in a pink jumpsuit? These secrets lie herein...
