She was direct, intuitive, and never shy about giving advice. Jean had an incredible ability to balance big-picture thinking with tactical execution. She could hold space for fears and insecurities while guiding you toward confident decisions.  I still hear her voice when I'm feeling unsure or insecure. Her influence shaped me in ways I can't fully express, and for that, I am deeply grateful. (2:15) Jean shares with us some of her experiences growing up in England during WWII.  (8:30) Did Jean's determination and independence come from her experiences while growing up?  (12:21) Jean shares her motivation for starting her own company.  (21:46) What was Jean's transition like, to move from a corporate position to starting out on her own?  (26:40) What were some of the first things Jean did notice that proved her new venture was going to succeed?  (31:32) Jean shares how her mentor, Jack Urish, was an integral throughout getting WOMEN Unlimited, Inc. off the ground.  (36:18) What has been Jean's greatest accomplishment building this business?   (39:23) What was a point of frustration or concern for her during that same time?  (42:05) What advice would Jean share for those just starting out?  (45:46) Who or what brings Jean joy? What frustrates Jean? What scares her and how does she overcome those fears? Who would she want to meet, alive or dead?(52:06) What daily practice or ritual that keeps Jean alive and connected?Subscribe: Warriors At Work Podcasts Website: https://jeaniecoomber.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/986666321719033/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeanie_coomber/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeanie_coomber LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeanie-coomber-90973b4/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbMZ2HyNNyPoeCSqKClBC_w

Steering a company during economic downturns or simply adapting to everyday workplace challenges, resilience often makes the difference between thriving and merely surviving. This is why it is one of the most crucial traits a leader can possess. In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Rosina Racioppi, President and CEO of Women Unlimited, Inc., on fostering resilience as a leader. Join us as we explore Rosina's compelling journey of leadership, her invaluable tips on building resilience, and how you can harness this vital trait to propel your career and organization to new heights.  Introduction to Rosina Racioppi Rosina Racioppi heads Women Unlimited, Inc., where she spearheads initiatives to help organizations across various industries develop high-potential women leaders.  Her efforts have been instrumental in building a diverse and talented leadership pipeline that contributes to the growth and profitability of Fortune 1000 companies.  With a professional background in HR spanning across sectors like insurance, manufacturing, and chemicals, Rosina brings a wealth of knowledge to the discussion. What is Resiliency? According to Rosina, resiliency involves maintaining your footing during times of great change or upheaval.  Using COVID-19 as a reference point, she highlights how both companies and individuals demonstrated resilience through prolonged ambiguity.  Key to resilience is not letting failures stop us but rather letting them inform and strengthen us. Tips on Building Resiliency Rosina offers invaluable advice on fostering resiliency: Use Failure as a Learning Tool: Reflect on what went wrong, without placing blame, to foster a culture of learning. Reflection and Feedback: Regular reflection on projects and seeking feedback from managers and peers can build the muscle of introspection and improvement. Building Relationships: Maintain a network of colleagues who can offer perspectives and support. These relationships can be vital in managing through challenging times. Creating a Culture of Resilience As a leader, instilling resilience within your team requires creating an environment where failure is used as a learning opportunity and ongoing reflection is encouraged.  Leaders should nurture a collaborative culture that values diverse ideas and supports team members in both successful and challenging times. "You don't want to pursue a job just because you can do it. You want to pursue something because at the end of the day, you're excited about the kind of work that you do when you're using those skills." - Rosina Racioppi.

For this episode, David is joined by Dr. Rosina Racioppi, who is the president and CEO of Women Unlimited. Rosina is on a mission to help organizations develop a culture where women have the same opportunity as men to fully realize their potential. Women Unlimited runs courses and uses mentors to help women and the organisations they work for to achieve true workplace parity. KEY TAKEAWAYS In a tight labour market, not developing women costs organisations heavily. To achieve true gender parity, everyone in the organization must work towards that goal and do so every day. To advance their careers women need to be more intentional about how they show up and what they do. Focus on sharing how what you are doing helps the organisation. Don´t be shy, advocate for yourself. Learn to speak with more confidence and make better connections with others. Ask for feedback. Recruiters need to be aware of their own bias and be open to interviewing a few people who do not 100% fit their vision of their ideal candidate. Diversity goes far deeper than building teams based on gender or skin colour. The strongest teams include people from a range of backgrounds, educational experiences, and upbringings. BEST MOMENTS ‘Growth and comfort don´t live in the same space… if you want to advance, you're going to feel a little uncomfortable for a while,' ‘Adopting the curious mindset is the critical part.' ‘When you hold people accountable, things happen.' ‘Make sure that you're not just replicating the same person in a different skin.'   EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.women-unlimited.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-rosina-racioppi-792b941/ https://www.amazon.co.uk/RELATIONSHIPS-MATTER-Developmental-Networks-Influence/dp/1732251088 https://www.radicalcandor.com/ ABOUT THE SHOW People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan, and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.

This episode features an interview with Pinaki Kathiari, CEO and owner of Local Wisdom, a digital communications agency. Pinaki's experience spans two decades serving global Fortune companies, startups, and multi-industry agencies. He's also the co-founder of Resource Hero, Vice President of Professional Development for the IABC Tristate Area Chapter, and a Business Mentor for WOMEN Unlimited, Inc. In this episode, Amanda sits down with Pinaki to discuss his communications team maturity model, the ROI of employee recognition, and the value of a digital communications presence.-------------------“If people don't know how they're actually, or really making a difference, then they kind of lose sight of why they're here. So we all do that. It feels like being in a conversation with two other people who are speaking another language. Kind of like, ‘why am I here and how am I even contributing?' [...] I think leaders want to quantify investment into recognition systems and programs. And that I get, because that takes some funds and investment and planning. But I also think that recognition doesn't have to take a large investment. Like I said, simply adding a topic to your leader's speaking points; it's the littlest thing you could do that doesn't cost really anything. Because at the end of the day, we work better as friends and friends show appreciation to each other.” – Pinaki Kathiari-------------------Episode Timestamps:*(02:12): Pinaki's career journey*(10:02): Segment: Story Time*(10:58): How Pinaki quantifies the ROI of employee recognition*(17:16): How leaders can institute employee recognition*(22:41): Segment: Getting Tactical*(23:07): Pinaki explains his communications team maturity model*(29:37): Must-haves for a good internal comms team*(34:15): Metrics internal communicators can use to show ROI*(38:40): Changes to the communications team maturity model-------------------Links:Connect with Pinaki on LinkedInFollow Pinaki on InstagramFollow Pinaki on TwitterLocal WisdomConnect with Amanda on LinkedInwww.simpplr.com/podcast

Leave us a message on Speakpipe or email us at info@karenyankovich.com.   About the Episode: It's no secret that the gender wage gap still exists. Not only is there a wage gap, but women don't often hold as much influence as their male counterparts in the business world. Part of this is due to social constructs. But we as women also don't always give as much pushback as men. When offered a salary, men will often negotiate for a salary. Some women will just accept the first offer. In addition, sometimes women don't have as much influence in their positions because they don't make their voices heard. Rosina Racioppi shares how she's helping women overcome these issues in Episode 169.

On this week’s episode, Dina Behrman joins me to share strategies for healthcare professionals on how to utilize publicity and public relations. Dina is a journalist-turned-publicity coach who is passionate about empowering business owners to get the best kind of publicity for their business to raise their profile, position themselves as an expert, build their brand, find new opportunities, reach new audiences, put their prices up and help more people. In this episode, we discuss: -Why you should start calling yourself an expert -How introverts can break personal barriers and promote their brand -How to pitch to the media and gain your brand access and coverage -Dina’s top tips for attracting more publicity -And much, much more!   The media often selects authority figures who are “experts” on a topic or field. As a healthcare professional, you have expertise and must learn to communicate and represent yourself as an expert. Dina suggests, “The main thing is to start seeing yourself as an expert, because especially if you're a health entrepreneur and you’ve got that expertise in a particular area then you want to be pitching yourself to the press as an expert and as someone who can talk knowledgably about a subject. A lot of people have an issue calling themselves an expert and it’s almost like they need someone to come along and say, ‘Yes, you're an expert’ as opposed to feeling very confident about saying you know what I really know my stuff.”   Sometimes introverts can be preoccupied with their own discomfort to pitch to a journalist. Dina suggests instead focusing on the huge benefits your expertise can provide to so many people. Dina recommends, “Having a bit of a mindset shift and thinking about it from the point of view of coming from a place of service and thinking whatever it is that you're sharing, if it’s your knowledge and your expertise that's going to be helping other people... The people that read that, it’s going to have a huge impact on them it’s going to really help them and the reason for getting that PR and publicity is that you can reach so many more people than you would be able to reach normally. So there is the potential for you to be helping so many more people and you’re doing something really good in the world by getting publicity and sharing your knowledge and your expertise and your experiences.”   Starting your publicity journey doesn’t have to be complicated. Often the very basics of your education are immensely valuable to the public and can start the conversation. “You only need to be a couple of steps ahead of the people you are talking to to be of help to them… Journalists can't possibly know all of the ins and outs of your industry the way that you do and so you're going to know more than they do and you're going to be useful to them… They don't have those years of training and everything that you have. There is so much value you can give even if it seems like it’s the basic level.”   For more information about Dina: Journalist-turned publicity coach Dina Behrman is a PR and publicity expert who works with female entrepreneurs who are struggling to take their business to the next level.
