Podcasts about senior leadership

Does your organisation struggle to retain high-potential female talent without knowing why? Today I am looking at 5 key reasons organisations struggle to retain key female talent mid-career. We are discussing:Culture, inclusion and belongingTransparency  - this is a biggie!Active sponsorshipLeadership developmentLet's be really honest about the barriers women are facing on a day-to-day basis and start taking measurable action towards creating more enriching careers for women.Something I said today:"Women must be made aware when internal roles are opening up for application. Too often they are not made equally aware of potential opportunities and so can't apply. This has a compound impact: not only do they not even have the opportunity to present themselves as a potential candidate, their exclusion can lead to them doubting the support they have in the organisation which can then also diminish their confidence and sense of belonging further."

Even if you think your communication is clear, it still might not be understood in the way you intend. And if you want to influence others, you need first to seek understanding and engagement before you persuade."

Save yourself months, if not YEARS, on the wrong path by taking an objective step back to review your career. Coaching is the ideal partnership to help you become more strategic and chase down only THE BEST opportunities for you and your career.Too often people are lost in their careers, working extremely hard and delivering phenomenal results - but without getting the return for themselves. It can leave you feeling empty, unfulfilled and unrecognised.Making the time to think about where you are and what you REALLY want can be absolutely game changing. That objective review will take you out of the weeds and the DOING of your career... and into the strategic control seat. And then - AND ONLY THEN - will you start getting the promotions and opportunities you deserve!Something I said today:"A coach is skilled to hold space for you and help you challenge whether what you're doing right now is indeed the right path to be on."

Send us a textIn this episode, host James Lawther and Jimmy Barber discuss some common 'corporate myths' that hinder performance at work. They explain that while targets will drive performance, it necessarily result in the performance you want, the fallacy that senior management has all the answers, and the misconception that long hours equal productivity. They also highlight the value of small, tactical improvements over big strategic projects, the benefits of treating suppliers as partners, and how introverts can make exceptional leaders. The episode wraps up with a reflection on social media perceptions versus reality, emphasising the need to focus on genuine rather than perceived performance. If you have any 'corporate myths' that you'd like debunking then please get in touch!And we also learn what James has in common with Pedro Pascal, and it's not highbrow French films!

Who said career 'success' is only about climbing the career ladder and going UP? Today I am exploring the metaphor of your career being a 'jungle gym' instead full of rich, lateral experiences.In her book Lean In, Sheryl Sandberg references the metaphor of a 'career jungle gym' which she credits to Forbes' journalist Pattie Sellers. It's the idea that 'success' doesn't have to be a linear path. And you don't even need to know your ultimate destination. In all the years I have been a specialist career coach for women, I have seen that people who diversify their experiences are better off in the long term (certainly if they are chasing a leadership role).In this episode I am exploring some ways to help you determine your own career path so that it feels like you're making good decisions... and are having a lot of fun along the way!Something I said today:"Where the career gym metaphor really excites me is it's based on chasing OPPORTUNITY rather than chasing job titles. This is hugely liberating and can lead to you making some really good decisions for your career."

What if you learned something new that made you think: 'I wish I had known this 10 YEARS AGO!' How might life, or your opportunities, have been different? A number of my clients have said this exact thing to me about the career strategies they learn in my program... let's dive into why getting a coach earlier - even today - will set you up for success.In this ep, I am exploring how to find out if you'd benefit from working with a coach, like me (or otherwise!)...We are talking ambition, goals, (as well as having neither)...We are talking about feeling stuck, lacking visibility and support...What to expect from an initial call with a coach...And the 3 very tangible reasons why you must NOT wait another month, another week, another day before reaching out to a coach and getting the support you need to succeed!Something I said today:"My coaching niche is two-fold. It's about career strategy first and foremost. What's in it for you? What do you want from the next 12 months or 5 years? It's also about giving you the strategies - and the structure - to help you fast track your career, whether that's fresh opportunities or promotions to leadership or something else entirely that will give you the meaning and stretch you're looking for."

Your team is full of individuals with different values (preferences and styles). The question I am posing today is: do you see merit in, or do you judge, values that are different from your own?I am looking at two different values-preferences today:1. Rational vs Emotional2. Impulsive vs ThoughtfulHow do you identify with each of these paired groups? Are there people in your team with the same preference/ style as you?Are there people in your team with the opposite approach to you?Do you see merit in all approaches or do you judge those that aren't like your own?Are you benefitting from the collective intelligence your team has because of these differences, or not?Something I said today:"As a leader it's important to look at the team as a whole and ask if you're fully utilising your collective intelligence - which means valuing different approaches to solving problems as being equally worthy."

In this concluding part of this 3-part series, I am going to be sharing a major systemic barrier to women's career progression, namely The Work-Life Barrier.We are talking today about primary care givers, paternity leave, domestic duties, the Mental Load, societal stigmas and a whole lot of research that highlights the current imbalance between men and women in the workplace.Something I said today:"Until the stigma around men being accepted as class parents, as primary care givers for their own children, as worthy of lengthy paternity leave - until that stigma ends, we won't achieve genuine gender parity in the workplace."

In this 3-part series I am going to be sharing the major systemic barriers to women progressing in their careers: today we are talking about The Bias Barrier.Bias can be unconscious (and conscious) and is a key factor underpinning the slowness of progress in seeing more women rise to positions of leadership and power.In this episode, I'm talking about three key factors:1. Affinity bias - the reason why many male leaders hire more men with similar experiences and backgrounds as them2. Loyalty bias - the assumption that women will remain loyal to their organisations, even if they are continuously overlooked for promotion3. Common assumptions made about women's needs and career aspirations, that are often wrongSomething I said today:"Bias occurs throughout the entire lifecycle of a women's career: from recruitment, professional development opportunities to promotion, mentoring advice and compensation discussions - at every career transaction, qualified women can be side-lined."

In this 3-part series I am going to be sharing the major systemic barriers to women progressing in their careers: today we are talking about The Culture Barrier.Most STEM and Financial environments remain heavily male dominated and it can have an impact on those organisations being able to hire and retain key female talent.In this episode, I'm talking about three key factors:1. The emotional impact of being one of a few women in a male dominated culture2. The fact that these working environments often fail to play to women's strengths and values3. Male dominated leadership teams provide little to no female mentorship and role modelling opportunities for women working earlier in the pipelineSomething I said today:"Male dominated working cultures don't need to be at that 'hostile or intimidating extreme' to exclude women still. By their very nature, these environments can be unwelcoming and impart that feeling in women that they don't belong here."

“One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.”-Abraham MaslowWhat is it that empowers people to make this choice?To be bold enough to step forward into fear as they move toward purpose, and transcendence?These questions are at the heart of today's conversation with Dr. Jordyn Feingold. Jordyn is a resident physician in psychiatry, a researcher, and a positive psychology practitioner who focuses on bringing the work of self-actualization to patients and clinicians around the world.Jordyn's work is in part inspired by Abraham Maslow and other prominent psychologists who were at the forefront of the human potential movement in the 1950's, 60's, and beyond.Today Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, (Jordyn's mentor, co-author, and collaborator), is in many ways carrying this work forward. Following in Maslow's footsteps Scott is pushing the science of self-actualization into new frontiers as author of the bestselling book Transcend and founder of the Center for Human Potential where he and Jordyn have worked closely together. Jordyn is part of the Center's Senior Leadership team, and is also a member of the founding faculty.In this episode Jordyn and I will dive deep into the topic of growth and themes related to human potential which she and Scott explore throughout their beautiful book: Choose Growth: A Workbook for Transcending Trauma, Fear, and Self-Doubt.I hope you enjoy the time with Jordyn as much as I did!Did you find this conversation inspiring?

By naming my business, Illuminate Personal Growth, I was making a promise to my clients. Do you want to learn what that promise is?In this ep I am diving into a behind-the-scenes- moment and sharing my thinking around my business and what its purpose is.
