In this episode of The Connected Leadership Podcast, Andy Lopata discusses mentoring with National Mentoring Day founder Chelsey Baker. Andy's upcoming book, The Financial Times Guide to Mentoring, co-authored with Dr. Ruth Gotian, aligns well with October 27th, National Mentoring Day, a worldwide celebration of mentoring in various fields. Chelsey is one of the UK's leading business mentors, the author of "The Pocket Mentor" and creator of "Broadcasting Your Business", the pitch, press, and publicity programme. Chelsey recently won the British Bankers' Association "Excellence in Enterprise Mentoring Award," and this year she won the prestigious title of "Business Mentor of the Year" awarded by Start Your Business magazine. Chelsey is passionate about mentoring, which offers guidance, advice, and wisdom. She explains how mentoring contrasts with coaching; mentoring is a holistic approach where the mentor uses their wealth of knowledge and experience to provide guidance. On the other hand, coaching is oriented towards short-term goals and focuses on specialised training or improving specific skills or behaviours. Chelsey would like to see mentoring at every level and in different sectors, from start-ups to C-suite executives. For start-ups, mentors provide the much-needed support and direction that can prevent businesses from falling apart. For executives, mentors serve as a sounding board for airing concerns that can't always be shared with team members. The discussion also touches on the concept of multiple mentors. Here, an individual could seek advice from different mentors, each specialising in a unique field, thereby providing rounded guidance. The frequency of mentorship sessions varies and is tailored depending on the mentee's needs and expectations. Chelsey sees mentoring's role to connect, to learn to engage. Besides sharing much-needed wisdom and expertise, mentors also provide emotional support by offering an objective perspective, thus making powerful allies in the journey of self-growth and learning. Chelsey recounts her unique journey into mentoring, which found its roots in her public speaking and business advice background. This led to her signing up to stand at a show, which focused on finding individuals willing to pass on their skills and experiences. Eventually, this culminated in the creation of National Mentoring Day, an event born out of frustration and a lack of mentors, and it was officially inaugurated in the Houses of Parliament in 2016. The need for regular mentorship promotion, awareness, and support throughout the year forms the crux of National Mentoring Day's mission to make mentoring accessible to all. Chelsey encourages organisations to applaud their mentors and mentorship programs. She emphasises that everyone has the capacity to mentor or to learn as a mentee, thus improving mentorship's reach and influence. Chelsey also highlights her "six keys to effective mentoring", which include leading by example, active listening, and fostering a trustworthy and supportive relationship. Chelsey reflects that mentoring ultimately fosters growth, innovation, and confidence, permitting individuals to unlock their full potential. National Mentoring Day is on October 27th and www.nationalmentoringday.org is a valuable resource that sheds light on the importance of mentoring at every level and across different sectors. Discover how mentorship can provide guidance, support, and wisdom, ultimately unlocking your full potential. Connect with Andy Lopata Website Connect with Chelsey Baker Website

Are there wheelchair accessible entrances in this clinic? Do we have a wheelchair accessible scale here, and how might I find it?” - Dr. Dorothy Tolchin listen to the full episode for more!

Welcome the Driven Female Entrepreneurs Podcast! The weekly show that helps you dream bigger and achieve more in your business, by learning what works from successful female entrepreneurs.   In this episode Hi, Welcome to the Driven Female Entrepreneur Podcast. I'm your host, Melitta Campbell, award winning business coach and marketing veteran, and Value Whisperer. This week as part of our Summer Business Festival we're looking at how to run a growing business around your family – and stay sane! It might not feel like it at times, especially when those ankle biters are around 24/7 for the next 7 weeks, but yes, I can promise you it's possible. :) As with everything there will be good days, bad days and days when you feel overwhelmed and if you are letting everyone down, and just want to go back to bed and forget it all and that's OK. We may be super women in many respects, but do need to remind ourselves that at the end of the day we are all human and there is only so much we can do.  One thing I love that has come out of the podcast is that there is no one way to build a business, especially when you are doing so around a family.  Today, I will share with you some of the things I've done to help me run my business over the last 14 years around my growing family, but before I dive in, I wanted to highlight a few of the other episodes you'll find valuable if you are a parent with ambition: #52 Business After Babies – Lori Mihalich-Levin#67 Backyard Sales to Global Brand – Kelley Higney#71 Successful Freelancing as a Mum – Abbi Perets#20 Building Your Business Around Your Family – Malva Gasowski #25 Time and Productivity Techniques that Work for Women – Megan Sumrell#93 The Marketing Mindset – Teresa Heath-Wareing   I've created a separate blog post that lists these episodes for you, with a summary of their advice for you – Click the Link   "Every single day, take some time to do something just for you. Do something that makes you happy and feeds your soul." -Melitta Campbell   So in today's episode, I want to share with you 5 things that have made a big difference for me, and that I hope will help you get out there more consistently too, and with more confidence and impact.  1. Have a plan : priorities and time activities Know what your ONE priority is for the day (max. three), so you can end the day feeling accomplished. Give your activities a time – so if, for e.g.,  you only have 10 minutes, you can fill it productively and still move consciously move your business forward – sticky note wall plan.   2. Set clear boundaries – and stick to them! Time for your business Time for you Time for your kids Time for your other relationships and hobbies Physical boundaries can help too – the day I got a proper door on my office was a game changer!   3. Be Kindful Never put yourself down, or think bad of yourself. Be aware of your negative self-talk. Be kindful – remind yourself that you are doing the best you can with the resources available to you.    4. Mindset Time Line therapy – guilt, anger, sadness, fear,  If you need help with that, then do reach out – I have a six-week Positive Entrepreneurship mindset programme that I've created specifically to tackle the biggest challenges and blocks we encounter as business owners, so you can quickly remove your blocks and limiting beliefs and move forward faster and with greater confidence.    5. Self-care Put your own oxygen mask on first, it's always so important If you don't care for yourself first, you won't have the energy or time for your business or family   6. Ask for Help I burned out of my 1st business for two reasons. Firstly, I was no longer doing work that I loved and aligned with my personality, values or goals. Secondly, I was trying to do everything by myself – and none of us can do that for long. I had a cleaner and my kids were at creche two days a week, but that was the extent of it. My husband travelled a lot, so I was left with a LOT to do. I was watching Lucifer recently and loved the episode where his Mum – for punishment – has to live as a human working Mum. This usually powerful and elegant woman was soon brought to her knees trying to cope – until she figured out how to ask for help and focus on what she was best at and enjoyed most. I don't necessarily recommend her method of asking, but I thought it nicely highlighted the reality for so many women, and how transformational it can be to get the help we need.  So don't go it alone on any level. And surround yourself with others who understand your challenges and path, and can provide moral support and insights too. I created the Dream Clients Club FB group to provide you with just such a group so if you haven't already, come along and join us there.    7. Involve your Kids When they were toddlers, they scribbled marketing plans and tapped away on laptops they had proudly made from cereal boxes. It bought me a few extra minutes to work on admin and they loved feeling part of my world.  Since then, they have taken all sorts of entrepreneurial and mindset training as I've listened to CDs or videos while driving around or doing chores. They've helped me price products and create beautiful gift packaging. They've helped me design exhibition stands (well, tables) and speak to customers. And now they are starting to give me advice on my social media. Involving them in my business has given them a rich real-life business education and they have loved it.  Not only that, they have taken these lessons and used them in their own projects. They've raised more than £3,000 for the WWF and childhood cancer charities by making their own products, publishing books, creating websites and hosting tables at local fairs. And they are still only 12 and 14! It's been so rewarding seeing them create a plan, see it through and feel proud of their results. The best part, they haven't even questioned if they could do it, they just got on with it – a big lesson for me! My kids are also my mentors and accountability buddies. They are always interested in how my business is going, what I plan to do next and how they can help. In my ‘wobble moments' they are there to encourage me to take a breath, break things down, and take a small action in the right direction. They consistently inspire me to keep going and keep growing. So, as I say, involving kids can be chaotic, but the upsides are tremendous.  So these are the seven biggest things I've done to help me manage a growing business, growing family, and keep my sanity (mostly) intact. I'd love to know which of these has been most helpful for you – or If there is anything else that you do that helps you keep it all together.  Drop me a message or better still, come and share your ideas in the Dream Clients Club FB group.  Check out the group and the show notes to grab an eBook I created where I interviewed women about how they balance their business and babies. I put all their best advice in an ebook, alongside my own advice and bonus tips around productivity. And when you get a copy of the book, I'll also send you access to a Pocket Mentor app I've created to help you stay motivated and inspired every day.  As always, if you have found this helpful, don't keep this episode or show to yourself. Be the force for good within your community and share this episode with your business besties and network, and be sure to take a minute to review the show in iTunes or Spotify.  I've been Melitta Campbell, your business coach and value whisperer.  See you next week!   "Involving our kids in our businesses is a really important gift, which I believe is gonna give them a real edge in the future." -Melitta Campbell   About Melitta Melitta Campbell is an award-winning business coach who is passionate about helping women confidently Build, Grow and Scale a profitable business that allows them to do work that they love, create the balanced lifestyle they desire, and feel proud of the difference they are making.

Caren Merrick, the founder and CEO of Pocket Mentor joins host Deirdre Breakenridge on Women Worldwide. Before becoming an entrepreneur, Caren was a partner at Bibury Partners, an angel investment and advisory firm. Earlier in her career she was co-founder and EVP of webMethods, leading the company to the most successful software IPO in 2000. Caren grew the company to 1,100 employees and $200m in revenue, which eventually led to its acquisition by SoftwareAG in 2007 for $540million. On the show, Caren discusses her career journey and how she has served on different boards. According to The Gender Diversity Index, in 2015, of the 842 active companies on the Fortune 1,000 list, women held 18.8% of board seats. This is an increase from 17.7% in 2014. If you compare these stats to the 14.6% of board seats that were held by women in 2011, you can see the numbers are rising, but not high enough. According to Caren, too few women see themselves as participants in the boardroom and they aren’t stepping up by taking risks or taking on new projects. Lastly, Caren discusses her thoughts on reinvention and why it’s so important for professionals to invest in self-discovery. Professionals should know that change can be uncomfortable and you can’t force it. A little more about Caren Merrick … Caren serves on the board of directors for the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, which manages and operates the $800m Washington Ronald Reagan National and Dulles International airports, serving over 40 million passengers a year. The Authority also manages the development of the $6B Dulles Corridor Silver Line Metrorail project. The boards on which she serves provide governance and oversight across multiple industries with a combined value of $10b.
