116: Simone is a multi-award-winning specialist, who works to increase the impact of internal employee resource groups (ERGs), maximizing the visibility and opportunities of underrepresented groups to promote equitable inclusion. Her advocacy focuses on empowering individuals and groups to know their worth, seek commonalities with others, eliminate ‘blind' spots, and elevate all. Simone has worked within administration for over two decades. Passion for administration motivated her to create an internal network for over 500 administrative professionals at the world's largest asset manager, alongside creating and implementing transparent, equitable career paths for the administrative population. She is a leading voice advocating for the profession. Simone highlights the need for the administrative profession to be more diverse in terms of gender, ethnicity, and ability and to be strategically included by organisations when building DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) programs that often omit this group. Her ERG journey began first with women's networks and progressed to her own profession and those that reflect her various intersectionality's. She is an international keynote speaker, author, mentor, and trainer and has appeared on numerous podcasts. She is a life fellow of the UK's only professional body for Administrative Professionals, EPAA, a lead on the Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging team for the World Administrators Alliance and an Advisory Board member for Practically Perfect PA. Her work has been recognised and celebrated, being the recipient of the Unsung Hero of the Year by Women in Finance in 2021 and EA/PA of the year by WeAreTheCity in 2016.   Links: Article: https://executivesupportmagazine.com/the-need-for-inclusion/ Connect with Simone on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/simone-white-sim-plicity

Hunted down to speak for audiences including Microsoft, Sky, and Invesco, Harriet has empowered thousands of people over the last 18 years to believe in themselves and their potential. She has been through multiple transformations and knows what it takes to make deep rooted changes that stick, and to get through tough times and come out the other side stronger and wiser. Harriet is 19 years in recovery from addictions, left an unhappy marriage and went on to thrive, shifted from a 10-year banking career into motherhood and entrepreneurship, overcame a pain condition after being driven into on the motorway in 2016, and is a breast cancer survivor. Harriet's mission is to make sure women know their true value and can make the impact they want to make in the world. She knows how vital it is that the cultural conditions in organisations and in society at large are supportive; empowering women from the bottom up will not be enough without big picture change. The benefits to organisations and the world go far beyond individual women, from higher and more sustainable profits to better wellbeing, spread of money and power, and environmental health. Harriet takes an intersectional feminist approach to DEI from the top down through facilitating discussion; simultaneously, from the bottom up, Harriet is masterful in empowering women to leave behind self- doubt, sabotaging patterns and overwhelm in favour of new ways of thinking, feeling and acting that uplevel their confidence and wellbeing. As a result, women own their brilliance and succeed. Harriet is described by Vanessa Vallely OBE and MD of WeAreTheCity as 'a real superwoman who empowers others wherever she goes.' Today we spoke of Harriet's newest project, A 3 DAY CHALLENGE, which you can find more information about here:  https://bit.ly/GoodbyeNotEnough

Tony talks to Alina Timofeeva, a multi-award-winning specialist in cloud and data, and whose clients have included the likes of JP Morgan, HSBC and Santander, about her incredible success, her business journey so far, and how she has used her position to see to it that others in the sector get a chance to carve out their own career paths. KEY TAKEAWAYS Alina's background led to her questioning the status quo and wondering if her own path in life could be different from the one that society expected of her. Those who break the mold often have a different perspective when it comes to helping others. They recognise the importance of using their position to help other ascend in life. We must trust our instincts when it comes to our direction. If the organisation to which we belong holds no opportunities, then we should not fear looking elsewhere for the next run to success.

Why is setting boundaries so guilt inducing? Last year I had over 100 1:1 conversations with clients and the one thing every single woman had in common, was some form of struggle with boundaries, professionally or personally . Too much? too little? and the myriad of questions in between.Towards the end of last year, I wrote an article for We Are The City on this very topic and though most of us have adjusted to living in the unknown, I thought bringing this topic back for the podcast, might make for a good reminder of the wonders of well defined boundaries.Let's connect:Website: www.theinfluentialme.comInstagram: @theinfluentialmeFacebook: @theinfluentialme

As a Business Leader, you perform many roles. However, your greatest role, the one in which you are always centre stage and in the spotlight, is in ‘performing as you’. So many talented, accomplished, committed leaders report that their deepest desire is to ‘be more themselves’ in their leadership performance and connect to a deeper sense of self and authenticity. This is when you are most alive, aligned and inspirational. With a lifetime of experience from the world of theatre, Diana Theodores knows that witnessing and delivering ‘great performances’ inspires us to feel more possibility for ourselves: to feel more alive, more optimistic, more passionate, more motivated and more courageous. Diana invites you into your own personal rehearsal room to connect with your inspirational energy, claim your true voice and step into your boldest presence.   KEY TAKEAWAY "It's really about what is the story that we're telling ourselves?

A lot of business owners find that they eventually hit a revenue ceiling. The actual amount or value of that ceiling varies. It can be a puzzle why some people break through and others bounce off it like birds off a window, failing to build revenue beyond a certain point. What got you there won't get you where you’re dreaming about. You need a new strategy and a lot of the time it's a sales strategy which is missing. This week my podcast guest is Jessica Lorimer. Jess helps smart people sell into corporates and in this week's show she's going to share how she does this in some very actionable ways. She lifts the lid on her business and will show you exactly how she built it. Jess is a great case study in doing something seemingly simple, courageously and very well.

"Stop being Switzerland!” This could sound like vague advice but it's so important today. Translated it means that your brand can’t be neutral anymore. There’s so much noise you have to stand out. To help, marketers and serial co-authors Ekaterina Walter and Jessica Gioglio have penned the new book The Laws of Brand Storytelling, which launches this week. Both joined me on the On Brand podcast to discuss. About Ekaterina Walter and Jessica Gioglio Ekaterina Walter is a globally recognized business and marketing innovator, international speaker, and author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller Think Like Zuck and coauthor of The Power of Visual Storytelling. After pioneering social media and digital strategies for Fortune 500 brands such as Intel and Accenture, she cofounded a start-up that was acquired by Sprinklr, a customer experience management platform, where she served as Global Evangelist. She now helps global organizations build customer-centric digital transformation strategies. Ekaterina’s thought leadership has been featured on CNBC, ABC, NBC, FOX News, Forbes, Fast Company, TechCrunch, CNN, WSJ, Inc., and Huffington Post, among others. She’s been consistently recognized by the industry and her peers for her innovative thinking: she was number three on Forbes’s World’s Top 40 Social Marketing Talent, and Fortune magazine included her on the list of the most impactful business people on social media, alongside Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Arianna Huffington, Warren Buffet, and others. When Ekaterina is not writing about digital and business innovation, she and her nine-year-old daughter coauthor children’s books. The first of a planned series, Amber and Sapphire: The Magic Spell, was published in 2017. Jessica Gioglio is a recognized digital and social business strategist and the coauthor of The Power of Visual Storytelling. She has spent over a decade leading transformative marketing, public relations, and social media programs for best-in-class companies including Dunkin’ Donuts, TripAdvisor, State Street, Comcast, and Sprinklr. From advising top companies on social media and digital business transformation, to leading an award-winning public relations and social media program for Dunkin’ Donuts, or providing disruptive communications programs for TripAdvisor, Jessica thrives on delivering customer-centric innovation and growth acceleration. A recognized thought leader and sought-after speaker, Jessica was named one of the top marketing leaders to follow by LinkedIn, HubSpot, TopRank Online Marketing, and the United Kingdom’s We Are The City. Jessica’s thought leadership and industry commentary has been featured on CNBC, USA Today, PR Week, ComputerWorld, Chief Marketer, and more. Episode Highlights How is brand storytelling different? Ekaterina kicked off the show by reminding us that we need a new definition. “When people hear ‘storytelling’ they assume you mean marketing. Or content. Content was really storytelling 1.0. It’s not just for marketing anymore because your brand is built by what other people say.” Stop being Switzerland. Citing new data from Sprout Social, Jessica encouraged brands to take a stand. “You actually have more to lose by saying nothing. Two thirds want brands to take a public stance on issues they care about.” How do you embrace taking a stand? “You have to align advocacy with authenticity. Everyone has brand style guides for what to do visually. They don’t always have guidelines around values.” Who’s doing this really well? Ekaterina and Jessica pointed us to GE who’s focusing on 50/50 representation of females in STEM roles by 2020. We also discussed Nike and Honeymade with some good reminders on how to launch and execute campaigns like this. What brands have made Ekaterina and Jessica smile recently? Ekaterina told a story about a funny cease and desist from Bud Light while Jessica used Land Rover to reinforce the power of brand storytelling.

Our Way(s) of Life ft. Heebz the Earthchild This week on the show, we’re talking about Our Way(s) of Life with Travis Hebert, also known as Heebz the Earthchild, who is one half of Indigenous hip-hop group Mob Bounce. We wanted to talk about what culture means to Travis, so we caught up with him in July 2017 at UBC Studios on Unceded Musqueam Territory in Vancouver, BC. We wanted to explore the harmful impacts colonialism has and continues to have on Indigenous men, and to hear about what we can do with our cultures to call our brothers to pursue healthy ways of living. We talk about Mob Bounce’s use of culture and the role that music and art play in advancing healing for the people. We discuss our ability to heal by freeing ourselves from the traps and pitfalls of colonial thinking, and then Travis drops an *exclusive* freestyle in the studio for us, expanding on his own personal teachings and the lessons which have inspired him to create the music he and Craig Edes, also known as The Northwest Kid, continue to perform across Canada. Mob Bounce is a Hip Hop duo that formed in the later half of 2010 with the release of their, “Mixed Blood Mixtape.” Before the mixtape release, Travis Adrian Hebert and Craig Frank Edes had been writing & recording music since 2004. Craig is Gitxsan and Travis is Cree/Metis. The two Aboriginal artists have exceptional experience in playing guitar and drums, and have blended their musicianship with elements of Electronic Dance Music (E.D.M.), and Hip Hop production; they incorporate aspects of a Cultural identity with an Artistic identity by experimenting with free toning(Chanting), and a Cultural soundscape influenced by sounds of Nature. Since the release of “Mix Blood Mixtape”, Mob Bounce has focused heavily on creating social and environmental awareness through the arts. They have done their share of anti-pipeline events and a series of shows at Vancouver Indigenous Media Arts Festival that is organized through W2 Media Arts Society in Vancouver, British Columbia. Mob Bounce spent the summer of 2014 performing at various Music Festivals and events including Aboriginal Music Week in Winnipeg, MB. Combined, they have shared the stage with; A Tribe Called Red, DJ Itchy Ron of Sweatshop Union, Git Hayetsk: “People of the Copper Shield”, We Are The City, The Born Ruffians, Filastine, Cris Derkson, Swollen Members, Leonard Sumner, Tall Paul, and other established artists. Mob Bounce’s lyrical content is based on culture, spirituality, sustainable living, healing, Mother Earth and awakening a warrior spirit, since it is a warrior who sacrifices themselves for the better of others. To listen to more of Mob Bounce’s music, you can check out their Soundcloud page at the link below: https://soundcloud.com/mob-bounce
