Ep 447 - One Girl Can Guest: Natasha Questel By Stuart McNish   “Every girl should have the opportunity to rise to her full potential,” says Natasha Questel, the CEO of One Girl Can, a British Columbia-based not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing assistance to some of the world's most vulnerable girls. Questel adds, “Girls with high-potential deserve a chance to rise above extreme poverty and gender inequality.”   As citizens of the world, we have a responsibility to aid others in reaching their full potential. Questel says, “One Girl Can is dedicated to educating, training and mentoring girls – to empower them to achieve their goals, earn a meaningful living and build better lives for themselves, their families and their communities.”    One Girl Can is an organization that is built on three foundational pillars: “education, training and mentoring.” Questel notes, “I am a living example of what one girl can do given a chance. I came from humble beginnings in Trinidad – I went on to graduate from the Stanford Graduate School of Business LEAD program and ultimately became the President of Happy Planet.”    We invited Natash Questel to join us for a Conversation That Matters about the mission of One Girl Can.   Join me May 16 for Conversations Live - A Vancouver Sun Town Hall: Life Sciences - BC's Innovation Future   https://www.conversationslive.ca/   If you love communications and speech writing you'll gain valuable insights from Presidential SpeechWriting which I narrated.

Even in today's day and age, workplaces are still dominated by a culture that favors men as business leaders but research is finding how working moms are best equipped to bring 21st century leadership skills into the workplace. I'm passionate about supporting parents, especially moms in the workplace, see their value and embrace the skills they have that make them such effective leaders. My guest, Jen Murtagh, feels the same way. So much so that she built her company Maturn, to support mothers transitioning in and out of maternity leave. According to research done by Bright Horizons, working women bring skills to the workplace that make them the best leaders because they excel in areas such as bringing out the best in others, better listening, better team player and are also better at multitasking and time management. In other words, supporting women in the workplace is good for business! And that's where Maturn, and Jen's expertise comes in! In this episode, Jen and I talk about: The motherhood penalty How organizations can retain and grow women leaders What mothers can gain from having support and a community For a copy of the “Maternity Transition Plan” to help support mamas who are expecting and looking for a plan to support their transition to maternity leave, visit the Parent Toolbox. www.parent-toolbox.com About Jen Murtagh With over two decades of experience spanning both corporate and non-profit, heart-centred leadership has been the guiding star of Jen Murtagh's career. An award-winning and values-based C-Suite leader, Jen has successfully led and raised millions for national campaigns on anti-bullying, vulnerable youth, and advanced gender equity through her work with a variety of women's organizations. As an ICF accredited leadership coach, Jen supports women to live and lead bravely through her 1:1 coaching, workshops, speaking and signature Brave Leadership for Women program. Jen is a Business in Vancouver ‘Forty Under 40' Award Winner and Greater Vancouver Board of Trade ‘Women of Promise'. Jen is a community champion, who has volunteered thousands of hours for countless charities and in 2017 fulfilled a lifelong dream by travelling to Africa to lead mentoring + goal-setting workshops with non-profit One Girl Can. Jen is a mother and stepmother to four children who was inspired to co-create Maturn to serve mothers in a deep and meaningful way while advancing gender equity.

Yanise Ho is the Bladress.  She has been rollerblading Across America with no money. This journey is a mission to prove that through love, everyone, regardless of their background, is deeply connected with one another. The world is encircled by natural masterpieces, vibrant cultures, and most of all, incredible people. However, these wonderful stories of love are often shrouded by the gloom-ridden news on crimes and disasters.  She believes the best of humanity also deserves to be told, shared and preserved and have faith because when you act on faith, a world brimming with love, care, and trust is just not a fantasy, but a reality! In 2016, Yanise rollerbladed from Savannah to Miami (600 miles) for 19 days without money. At first, she knew nobody, but soon everyone became her family on the road! This time, she is undertaking a more challenging distance, 6,000 miles from Miami, to the Wild West, and then back to the East Coast. Not only does she yearn to prove the kindness of people, but she also founded #TheBladress Scholarship, through the charity One Girl Can, to raise funds for girls’ education in Kenya and Uganda.  Yanise shares how her mission to rollerblade across America with no money has helped her realized she can live with hope rather than fear and show others what is possible.  Listen to her episode as she shares her amazing story.
