Podcasts about women's leadership network

You can make a difference no matter who you are. Today on On the Spot, our editor, Sheena Sharma, interviews Susan Solomont: entrepreneur, philanthropist, and author. She is the founder of the Women's Leadership Network, and author of the book "Lost and Found in Spain: Tales of an Ambassador's Wife." When her husband accepted the role of serving as the U.S. Ambassador to Spain and Andorra, Susan's life was uprooted, and she left everything behind to follow her husband to Spain. Having to leave everything behind to move to Spain taught her many valuable lessons. Life is unpredictable, and it’s important to know that there’s not only one correct path. [9:08] “I had to figure out who I was and how I wanted to be there, and I empathize with all those who do something new. For me? I’m thrilled I did it. It was a life-changing experience.” When your life is uprooted, it can be scary, but a new start can lead to something great. Susan stumbled upon life-changing opportunities while in Spain, and eventually created a platform that brings people together internationally. [10:38] “And I really hope that we all get to have opportunities to add to who we are, and grow with that.” You can purchase her book, Lost and Found in Spain here: https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Found-Spain-Tales-Ambassadors/dp/1633310302 Make sure to keep an eye out for her upcoming children’s book: Stella the Ambassadog.

Our WLN board members were excited to be joined at our meeting at the City of Westminster College last week by Ann Limb, who was the original founding chair of the Women's Leadership Network — nearly 30 years ago. But of course, that's not the half of it. Youngest woman principal of an FE college, founder of the Helena Kennedy Foundation, the list goes on and so do the accolades. Google her, and you get dozens of results.  Northern Power Women named her their Person with Purpose this month and spoke to her about her amazing career in the #NPWPodcast at https://buff.ly/2FV2oVZ ). On her Twitter profile @AnnLimb she describes herself as "Philanthropist mover & Quaker 1st woman Chair @UKScouting; Chair @UKICNewshttp://www.innovationcorridor.uk @ENTRUSTReg @IFMKfest; Vice Chair @cityandguilds."  So, before the board meeting, Kathryn James couldn't resist grabbing the chance to catch up with Ann to bring you a #FEWomenspeakly podcast and find out about the early days of WLN; why over the last 2 or 3 months Ann's begun speaking out about her own intersectional identity; and what mentoring she'd go for as #FlippingMentoring network. There's loads more, but you'll have to listen because I'm running out of space.

Three jobs, endless determination, and the passion to achieve your goals—moguls aren’t just men. Moguls are women, too. Tune in to today's episode of On the Spot and follow Tiffany's inspirational journey towards founding Mogul and how through endless determination and persistence, her work has impacted the lives of many women. As a child, Tiffany moved from Paris, France to Texas because her parents wanted her to have more opportunities. Through consuming American media, Tiffany was able to improve her English and learn many other things, which led to her realizing how powerful media can be as a tool for learning and education. The catalyst for her journey was the passing of her beloved grandmother, her number one role model. [4:10] >“I made a promise to her that I would do everything I could to follow in her footsteps, and I would dedicate my life to providing for others in need with information and opportunities just as she had." There is a lack of confidence that needs to be overcome in order to seize opportunities. Tiffany learned how to do just that. [32:13] >"It's fine if you're not perfect at the beginning. You will be perfected over time, or whatever you're working on will be perfect over time. Fail forward because so long as you’re learning, you’re succeeding.” Check out her books You Are a Mogul: How to Do the Impossible, Do It Yourself, and Do It Now and Girl Mogul: Dream It. Do It. Change the World, both available for purchase on Amazon. To learn more about Mogul, check out their website: https://onmogul.com/ and download the app!

In the FE, skills and lifelong learning sector, and in politics and policy more generally, women's voices are desperately missing from the debate. In this week's #FEWomenspeakly podcast, Cath Murray, Commissioning Editor for #SchoolsWeek and #FEWeek, grabs the Women's Leadership Network microphone to explain why she thinks it’s so important for more women to get their voices heard and influence the debate on key issues. And to help us do just that she gives us loads of great advice.  Cath spends her days as Commissioning Editor for Schools Week and FE Week. She also heads up the digital side of things for both publications.She loves encouraging people who are passionate about what they do to get involved in the debate. @CathMurray_ cath.murray@feweek.co.uk  https://feweek.co.uk/category/news/
