How is your style?
You're a successful female leader in the corporate world or with your own business who's serious and passionate about what you do.
Do you love fashion and are always dressing fabulously?
Are you thinking you could do with an update but not sure where to look?
Or are you not sure what looks good on you anymore?
Does your style make you look and feel the part?
You can be the best at what you do, but it’s easy to be overlooked and not recognised for your talents if that’s what your clothes tell other people.
If you’re a female in the workplace today, the chances are you will still face far more obstacles and be judged more harshly on your appearance than your male counterparts. It’s an unfortunate reality many of us deal with, so instead let’s take an empowerment perspective.
This week on the Lady Leadership show, I had the privilege of interviewing Lucy Owens. Lucy is the founder of Style Rises. Lucy helps female professionals and leaders 35+ create a personal style that represents them confidently and authentically.
Lucy is a big believer in If you weren’t born with an innate sense of style, that you can learn style. Her clients are General Managers, Directors, Senior Consultants, CFOs, CEOs, Executives and Partners. Many are successful entrepreneurs and run their own businesses.
They come to Lucy because they lack confidence in their professional image and often feel bored and uninspired with their style. They often also feel they've lost their way (due to age/body shape changes) and are struggling to look stylish, comfortable and age appropriate within new dress codes.
She helps you create a signature style formula that supports your professional brand and gives you the confidence you need to step up.

If you want a step by step guide on how to start your own business and how to move and grow the business then this is definitely the podcast for you! Especially if you want to get the real insights and what it really takes. Briony is so down to earth and engaging plus she shares how being vulnerable and real in business has really helped her.
This interview with Briony was so much fun - we covered it all in this interview. From doing in house makeup parties, to developing her own product, to waxing and dog sitting to bring in cash. Briony has done it all to develop and grow Adorn cosmetics without taking external funding.
Briony Kennedy is the founder, CEO and ‘face of’ Australian made, circular refillable luxury cosmetics brand, Adorn.
As a beauty industry veteran, Briony knew the importance of using premium quality products with skin safe, healthier ingredients, but was frustrated by the wasteful beauty industry and its impact on the environment.
Adorn was established in 2008 to make a better connection between natural beauty products, and the beauty of nature. Put simply, Briony wanted to create a makeup and skincare brand that is both good for you and kinder to the planet.
Adorn is the most highly accredited, zero waste cosmetics brand globally. Briony was an early pioneer of makeup refills, and in her mission to minimise the use of precious planet resources, Adorn products are sold without outer boxes or plastic – a bold move, but a much-needed change for an habitual wasteful industry.
Briony aims to live with purpose in all areas of her life, not only as an entrepreneur and waste reduction activist, but as a mother of three boys and an advocate for spreading kindness and raising mental health awareness.
Briony also shares her favourite products on the show.

In today's episode of the Lady Leadership podcast I talk about resilience and why it is an important trait and an important skill. I share in this episode where I believe that I have had to dig deep in my life and career.
Resilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity and overcome challenges. It's an important trait that can help us navigate life's ups and downs, and ultimately lead to personal growth and success.
Why Resilience Matters
Life is full of challenges, setbacks, and failures. It's how we respond to these challenges that determines our success and happiness in life. Resilience is important because it helps us to:
- Overcome adversity: Resilience allows us to bounce back from setbacks and challenges, rather than getting stuck in negative thought patterns or behaviours.
- Build confidence: Overcoming challenges and setbacks can help build our confidence and self-esteem, making us more resilient in the face of future challenges.
- Develop problem-solving skills: Resilience requires us to think creatively and develop problem-solving skills, which can be valuable in all areas of life.
- Create more fulfilling relationships: Resilient people tend to have more fulfilling relationships because they are better able to handle conflict and setbacks.
How to Develop Resilience
- Practice self-care: Taking care of yourself is an important part of building resilience. This includes getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet, and making time for exercise and relaxation.
- Build a support system: Having a strong support system can help us cope with challenges and setbacks. This can include friends, family, mentors, or a therapist.
- Practice gratitude: Gratitude can help shift our focus away from negative thoughts and emotions, and towards the positive aspects of our lives.
- Learn from failures: Rather than seeing failures as a negative, try to see them as opportunities for growth and learning.
- Focus on the present moment: Resilient people tend to focus on the present moment, rather than worrying about the future or dwelling on the past.
- Cultivate a growth mindset: A growth mindset means seeing challenges as opportunities for growth and learning, rather than as threats or obstacles.
Resilience is an important trait that can help us navigate life's challenges and setbacks. By practicing self-care, building a support system, practicing gratitude, learning from failures, focusing on the present moment, and cultivating a growth mindset, we can develop greater resilience and ultimately lead more fulfilling and successful lives.

In this episode of the Lady Leadership podcast I revisit an episode that I recorded with Dr. Amy Silver on fear. Fear protects us and warns us of danger but often it can get too loud. Dr. Amy Silver is a highly sought-after speaker and mentor in the area of fear and fear management. Amy is a psychotherapist and is experienced in many therapies, behavioral, cognitive, mindfulness-based stress to name a few.
Amy has worked for many years works in the world of therapy and now works in business and works with people to move through their fears so it does not interrupt communication, collaboration, ability to change, and ability to create. Fear can eat our potential.
Amy has written a book called ‘The Loudest Guest’, to help people move through their fears, achieve more, and get what they want. Amy correlates Fear to being a guest at a party and that she is not the only guest at the party and that there are other guests at the party that she can pay attention to.
We talk about how fear keeps you safe and we discussed how we can have conversations with ourselves to gain control and to identify the trigger of fear. We want to be able to use the fear voice to our advantage.
Fear can look like avoidance or reacting, for example not wanting to speak up in a meeting or have a courageous conversation or perhaps not make a deeper relationship because we don’t want to get hurt. Fear can also be attacking.
If you are wanting to work on how you work with your fears then this is a great podcast to tune in to.

In this episode of the Lady Leadership podcast I revisit an episode that I recorded with Rebecca Houghton from BoldHr where we talked about strategy.
One area that the B suite or Middle Managers need to focus there time on is strategy. Have a listen to this podcast and ask yourself are you thinking strategically in your role .
Have you:
- Set a vision
- Do you know the problems you need to solve
- Are you working on the right problems
- Are there options?
- What are the knowns and unknowns.
B-Suite leaders are today's middle managers, the glue that holds organizations together, translating strategy into action and creating high-performing workforces. Yet the B-Suite is stretched thin. They are too junior to be 'in the room', yet senior enough to be looked up to by their team. They are expected to provide information, decisions, and direction and often have little to go on.
It can be a frustrating space, and their development is often overlooked. Yet enabling these B suite leaders to adjust to the new normal, and to have an even greater impact is a huge win for any organization. So, how can you gain greater control over the pace of work and influence outcomes more easily?

Judith Beck had a stellar career in recruitment with Financial Recruitment Group, an executive search company she founded in 1995. Over her career, she has successfully placed thousands of candidates at senior to managing director level within the finance industry.
What Judith learnt from recruitment led her to start Financial Executive Women (FEW) in 2013, an organisation that promotes the positive progression of women in the finance industry through experience, guidance and support. Judith passed the FEW business to the next generation in 2020 and her passion remains to ensure women have the right support systems to advance their careers.

This week in the Lady Leadership Jess Stuart and I talk about dealing with burnout in your career. Jess had been so focused on her career for so long that she got busy and was going along blindly in her life, it was a slow burn. She had lost energy and couldn’t sleep but was tired all the time. She started checking out from things that she enjoyed. She withdrew from spending time with friends and going to the gym. She was so proud of her the life she had created but it wasn’t working for her. She found she wasn’t living in the moment.
Jess threw her life up in the air. She literally burnt out - she spent the next couple of years trying to get to re know her self. There wasn’t a real plan. She decided that she was going to try a whole bunch of things that she enjoyed and see what worked. She went travelling and learnt so much about a different life for herself,
Jess shares these strategies in her new book from Burnout to Brillance! I absolutely loved this chat with Jess and I know that you will as well. Jess has so much wisdom to share in this space.
In this episode Jess shares her principles that reduce overwhelm and how you can implement these.
Have a listen to the chat that I had with Jess I know that you are going to love it.

Have you ever thought to yourself that you would really like to try and get more done in your day? I know that I definitely have - I am always looking for ways to improve my productivity and what can I do or try to get the best out of my day! And I have definitely struggled this during covid! If this sounds like you then listen in for my chat with Dr Amantha Imber where talk all things productivity. Dr Amantha Imber is an organisational psychologist and founder of behavioural science consultancy Inventium and host of the very popular podcast - 'how I work'! We talked about the impact of covid on our work, we dug into to being a manager or a coach and connecting with team. Plus we talked about working a four day week, being paid the same and also the productivity gains that came from this but also some tips and techniques to be more productive in your work - including working to your cronotype and your circadium rhythm plus having a shutdown ritual for your day - you are going to love this!

This week I had an absolutely delightful chat with Lynne Cazaly on the Lady Leadership show! Lynne has just written a new book ‘Argh’ A practical guide to outsmarting overwhelm, this book shows how to outsmart feelings of overwhelm and includes practical tools to better manage emotions!
As the impact of COVID has reminded us, the world can be an unpredictable and overwhelming place. Our experiences of overwhelm can impact us at home and at work and often form a regular part of our daily lives. But it doesn’t have to be this way. These feelings of overwhelm can be outsmarted.
In her new book, Argh!, Lynne Cazaly provides readers with powerful techniques to make sense of our overwhelm, and discover new ways to work and cope with all this information. Lynne says it comes down to acknowledging our emotions and better managing our workload. Drawing upon decades of experience she outlines useful tools to help filter information to avoid burnout that general feeling of ‘too much on’.
We talked about getting it out of your head, which Lynne calls sense making, emotional regulation and then using Agile ways of working to manage the workload plus the Pomodoro technique which is 25 mins of intense focus!
This is not a conversation to miss out on!
This week I interviewed Amalia Chilianis who has written a new book called Workholistic. Are you unhappy with your career or job? The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many of us to re-evaluate our priorities, and to figure out how to create a life we truly want for ourselves and our loved ones. The time to change is now.

Career development expert Amalia Chilianis provides a practical guide on changing careers and finding more meaningful work. Amalia offers a holistic approach to making a career change based on over 25 years’ experience, research into positive psychology and neuroscience, and interviews with ordinary people who’ve shifted their careers to find greater satisfaction.

Colleen shares her remarkable story from finishing school at the age of 16 through to becoming one of Australia's top female CEOs, and everything in between – including facing burnout, something many can relate to. Colleen shares thought-provoking insights and real-world advice to empower and inspire all women, no matter your age or where you are on your leadership journey, to believe that the best is yet to come. It’s also a call to arms for organisations to embrace a new era of leadership - one that leads with kindness, trust and authenticity and has more women at the helm.

In this weeks episode I chatted to Amira Alvarez about mindset and the patterns that you go into and the conversations that you are having with yourself and how this could be holding you back. The results we are often getting correlate directly with what are wanting and keeping yourself in the same place. We talked about what is stopping you internally and figuring out what these are. Then coming up with an alibi to stop you following through that you agree with. We talked about showing up for yourself and also shiny object syndrome and keeping accountable to yourself and understanding your programming. We talked about changing your subconscious programming and reprogramming and it being a lot easer to get results. We talked about how to make money in business and that this is not difficult and that there are only three ways to do this. Plus how to get leverage over yourself to break through and get to the next level. Plus we talked about Universal Law and also suprisingly we talked about how sex can help you with your business. Yes - you just read this correctly!
This week I had the great pleasure of interviewing Repa Patel where we discussed moving from being an individual contributor to being a leader and manager. Repa has written an new book called - Elevate: A New Path for Leaders to Naviage Uncertainty. Repa Patel, founder of Leading Mindfully, draws upon decades of experience to provide a practical guide to mindful leadership, managing your energy and priming your potential to become the best leader you can be. Drawing upon her personal experience along with the clients she works with, Patel explains how to navigate uncharted territory, by engaging your heart, mind and energy to lead authentically, deliver more meaningful impact and experience joy more often in your work.
We discussed
- How to lead yourself before you lead others & why it matters
- A path to redefine success in unpredictable times
- Why your purpose is powerful as a leader and how to use it to navigate your career and lead your team
- A method to find calm in the chaos by building a tool kit to thrive through difficulties as a leader
- The means to use courage as a component of change & convert fear into conviction
- That becoming the architect of your destiny by managing your mind is the way to ride the waves of disruption.
B-Suite leaders are today's middle managers, the glue that holds organizations together, translating strategy into action and creating high-performing workforces. Yet the B-Suite is stretched thin. They are too junior to be 'in the room', yet senior enough to be looked up to by their team. They are expected to provide information, decisions, and direction and often have little to go on.
It can be a frustrating space, and their development is often overlooked. Yet enabling these B suite leaders to adjust to the new normal, and to have an even greater impact is a huge win for any organization. So, how can you gain greater control over the pace of work and influence outcomes more easily?
Join me as I chat with Rebecca Houghton regarding controlling the pace of your work, your reputation, managing your boss, and making more of an overall impact in the work that you do.
Do you have the right skills to lead successfully over the next decade - and beyond? The skill-set of the future relies on leading with different types of intelligence and being able to motivate people to do things with their hearts, not just their heads. Are you ready to increase your influence, impact, executive presence, and your ability to deliver results?
We discussed our Caroline grew her career and moving from driving outcomes and teams to moving to help people and teams. e talked about operating from self or from service? Plus how just asking someone how they were and helping someone when they weren’t really changed that person and changed Caroline. This put her on a journey to changing her leadership and finding out more about leadership.
Award-winning CEO Caroline Kennedy draws upon extensive real-world experience to provide a practical framework to becoming a ground-breaking leader and future-proofing your career. Caroline shows leaders how to stay relevant and competitive with nine key skill accelerators over three primary elements: leading self, leading others, and leading business.
The ability to swiftly develop new skills has never been more critical to keep up with the pace of change in the market. By mastering these skills you’ll be able to deliver a consistent body of work, a compelling vision, a ground-breaking leadership style, and above all, a personal stamp that cuts across industries and decades. You’ll become a key leader of influence.
Caroline has written a new book Lead Beyond 2030 and provides readers with the tools needed to propel your career, as you invest in yourself and the skills of your team. It’s a powerful exploration of what separates great leaders from the rest and how you can become one of them.
This is the most delightful chat with Judith Beck - I absolutely loved meeting and talking to Judith. Judith is a powerhouse and so knowledgable! I could have talked to Judith all day - she has so much wisdom to share!
Judith Beck had a stellar career in recruitment with Financial Recruitment Group, an executive search company she founded in 1995. Over her career, she has successfully placed thousands of candidates at senior to managing director level within the finance industry. What Judith learnt from recruitment led her to start Financial Executive Women (FEW) in 2013, an organisation that promotes the positive progression of women in the finance industry through experience, guidance and support. Judith passed the FEW business to the next generation in 2020 and her passion remains to ensure women have the right support systems to advance their careers.
Judith says it’s time to stop gender holding you back at work, talks the top skills needed & key to overcoming barriers . Your gender shouldn’t define your success at work. It’s not about your sex, it’s about you and your ability to learn certain skills and behaviours to help you step up in your career.
We talked recruitment and we had a great laugh about some of our experiences and stories! Judith is someone who generally wants to help people and leaders. Judith also shared some AMAZING tips on how to progress your career! I loved these suggestions and they are so so true!
In her new book, No Sex at Work author and founder of Financial Executive Women, Judith Beck, provides a no-nonsense guide to career advancement and inspires you to see yourself as an individual not a gender. Drawing upon extensive experience as a leading recruiter in the financial services industry, Judith explains what the top 10 percent of high achievers do well, and how to increase your chances of success by eradicating the barriers holding you back.

This week on the Lady leadership show I had the great pleasure of interviewing Renée Giarrusso she is a sought-after communication and leadership expert and founder of RG Dynamics and Limitless Leaders.
Renee is a keynote speaker, trainer, mentor, and professional certified coach (PCC). She passionately works with leaders, teams, and organizations to energise mindset and accelerate leadership and communication to lift performance and create collaborative and connected cultures.
Renee has written her third book called the ‘Gift Mindset’ which shows how to increase engagement and collaboration at work by changing your mind. This book is for leaders at all levels and is about owning your challenges and your mistakes. Plus taking the time to share the lessons which could be a survival guide for someone else.
We all have the choice to choose your mindset that impacts your feelings. We talked about amplifying our negative thoughts and reframing our mindset. I discussed with Renee about reframing and how this can work.
Renee’s book is 12 gifts to lead and live a life of purpose, connection and contribution.
Each chapter is dedicated to unwrapping each of the 12 gifts - Optimism, Change, Curiosity, Courage, Gratitude, Resilience, Growth, Empathy, Connection, Forgiveness, Contribution and Re-energising – with insights, stories, and case studies that illustrate how each gift can be useful, as well as practical tips on how you can reframe a challenge into an opportunity. By deepening and developing each of the 12 Gifts, which are key soft skills, we can progress ourselves and others forward.
We talked about friendship, networking, and boundaries plus networking with people from other cultures.

This week on the Lady Leadership show I caught up with Pamela Gabbour who started her own fashion business at the age of 21. There is a little bit of twist here in that Pamela noticed a gap in the market and bought fashion to uniforms. Yes, uniforms! Up until that point, uniforms had been an embroidered shirts. Pamela was fresh out of university having studied marketing plus she was able to leverage her dad's garment manufacturing business to kick off her business. Finding those first customers was hard, Pamela and I talk through how she did this, plus the fact that she was so young the majority of the people did not know it was her business and how she used this to her advantage and how she has grown the business to what it is today. For anyone wanting to start their own business - this is super inspirational!

This week on the Lady Leadership I had the pleasure of interviewing Felicity Furey is an award winning Business Leader, Engineer, Entrepreneur and Aspiring Aviator. Felicity is the founder of the Professional Leaders Institute. Felicity was named by AFR Boss as Young Executive of The Year and one the 100 Women of Influence by age 26, and has led multi-million dollar projects across Australia. Felicity now mentors high-performing teams and equips emerging leaders with the skills they need to make an impact and drive meaningful change.
To kick off this chat Felicity and I talked about Felicity’s career in Engineering - why she chose Engineering and how she then evolved her career to move into Leadership. Whilst Felicity was working in Engineering she noticed that there were not many women in Engineering and she started a not for profit to get more girls and more women into Engineering. Through this journey she raised over a million dollars from corporates and then stepped into a leadership role to run this business. This experience exposed Felicity to business through this endeavour and encourage more women into leadership.
Felicity created the Professional Leaders institute to help leaders fast track their careers and move into leadership roles. Felicity helps aspiring or emerging leaders who are moving into leadership. Felicity learnt through creating the non for profit business that she had room to fail and as such they emulate this experience.
We talked about the benefit to business of diverse leadership and also intergenerational leadership plus empowering teams.
Tune in to have a listen!

Fear can hold you back from doing what you really desire! Fear can keep you small.
This week on the show I caught up with Dr. Amy Silver to talk about all things fear. Fear protects us and warns us of danger but often it can get too loud. Dr. Amy Silver is a highly sought-after speaker and mentor in the area of fear and fear management. Amy is a psychotherapist and is experienced in many therapies, behavioral, cognitive, mindfulness-based stress to name a few.
Amy has worked for many years works in the world of therapy and now works in business and works with people to move through their fears so it does not interrupt communication, collaboration, ability to change, and ability to create. Fear can eat our potential.
Amy has written a book called ‘The Loudest Guest’, to help people move through their fears, achieve more, and get what they want. Amy correlates Fear to being a guest at a party and that she is not the only guest at the party and that there are other guests at the party that she can pay attention to.
We talk about how fear keeps you safe and we discussed how we can have conversations with ourselves to gain control and to identify the trigger of fear. We want to be able to use the fear voice to our advantage.
Fear can look like avoidance or reacting, for example not wanting to speak up in a meeting or have a courageous conversation or perhaps not make a deeper relationship because we don’t want to get hurt. Fear can also be attacking.
If you are wanting to work on how you work with your fears when this is a great podcast to tune in to.

This week on the Lady Leadership I caught up with Shannon Gillieland. Shannon is the Founder of Pronto Bottle. Pronto bottle is the world's first self sanitising baby bottle. When Shannon became a first-time mum she experienced the issues around having sterilised and ready to go bottles for her daughter and found this to be a big hassle, particularly when travelling with her daughter. She decided to see if she could come up with some better solutions to this issue and pronto bottle was born!
I talked to Shannon about coming up with an idea right through to execution, how her background led to this, and how she went about this. Shannon didn’t just dive headfirst into this - she spent a lot of time surveying other parents and seeing what their pain points are, she then spent a lot time researching various technologies including UV light sterilisation, then she realised that she needed to build a support team around her and also bring in some experts.
We discussed how Shannon went from having an idea to building a product, to building a business and building a team and all the steps and stages of that. When she faced overwhelm and a feeling of there is so much to do. She knew that she needed to create a framework of support around her to support not only building a product but building the knowledge that she needed to build a company. Tune into this episode as Shannon shares her journey plus her path to investment and hiring abroad.

I had a great delight this week to interview two guests on the show - Shari Medini and Karissa Tunis. Parenting experts and founders of the popular website, Adore Them Parenting, Shari and Karissa used their time over Covid to write a book - called Parenting whilst working from home.
Shari and Karissa had both been working from home for about a decade whilst raising their families and creating their businesses - so they knew through their own experiences how to effectively combine the needs of both.
As more parents work from home than ever before, there are unique challenges when it comes to meeting the demands of their job, helping their kids thrive, and finding even five minutes to take care of themselves. Parenting While Working from Home offers tips, strategies, and reflections to help parents balance their careers, connect with their kids, and establish their inner strength over the course of a year.
We discussed that it is ok to be a working parent and we discussed some practical strategies to help combine the two. Plus we discussed how to figure this out for you and your schedule and your family. We also talked about what do you really need and also hobbies.
You are going to absolutely love this chat! Thanks, Shari and Karissa for being on the show!

This week I had the great pleasure to catch up with Wanda Toro Turini! You would describe Wanda as a seasoned entrepreneur! Wanda has a Doctorate in Pharmacy and was in critical care and emergency medicine who always had an interest in the business. She was always the person who had great ideas and wanted to make a change - as such she saw her career shifting to the marketing world.
She had the opportunity to work in Marketing in the pharmaceutical space and learn so much from a group of senior people. As such Wanda found herself in corporate and being groomed for a senior role I but saw those around her and saw the time that they had to travel and be away from their families and decided that all though she wasn’t even married nor did she have children that she wanted something different.
She literally dived off the cliff and created her own business because she couldn’t launch her business as it would have been a conflict of interest with where she worked currently. Through creating her own business Wanda has been able to work in all parts of the world and adjust her working to fit in with her lifestyle and children.
Have a listen - you are going to love listening to Wanda’s journey, the lessons that she has learned, and how her and her businesses continue to evolve.

This week on the Lady Leadership show I interviewed Gabrielle Dolan for the 2nd time. I loved catching up with Gabrielle again and this time we talked about Gabrielle’s 6th book - Magnetic stories.
Gabrielle has definitely used her time in Covid well to come out with a new book! In this chat, we talk about what makes a ‘Magnetic story’ and how businesses can use these both with their customers and with their teams to share about their businesses and tell their story. We discussed how these stories are what get customers and teams to understand the ethos of a company and connect with a company on a deeper level, to understand where they have come from and what they have done. Gabrielle cautions that this, not a timeline - it is the why and what has formed a company.
When Gabrielle was writing the book she went on the hunt to discover the great stories behind many companies. She wanted to hear the great stories of how companies came into being. She discovered the incredible story behind Barbie and how Barbie came into being which blew her mind as she had not encouraged her daughters to have Barbies. She heard stories of restaurants and patrons that were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary at a particular restaurant.
We also talked about what it takes to write a book, how Gabrielle writes her books, and how the book is broken down. If you are wanting to learn how to tell powerful stories that connect then definitely check out Gabrielle’s work at gabrielledolan.com.

This week I am excited to celebrate 50 episodes of the podcast and as such, I thought that I would share a little more about my own background.
I recorded an episode of the podcast - Should I start my own startup and this focuses on what I have learned and I hope that this can help you in your decision making.
Growing up my Dad ran his own business and I learned quite a lot about business just sitting around the dining room table. My parents would be regularly talking about business - the good, the bad, and often the very ugly. My parents always instilled in me a strong work ethic. My parents worked hard.
Over the years I have worked in a number of startup businesses and therefore in this episode, I wanted to share what I have learned during that time. The key learnings have been business strategy, business modeling - ie how are you going to make money, product to market fit, testing this fit, trying to limit spending and test as you go, investing in your own learning, and plus a passion for what you do. You will need plenty of this in spades.
In this episode, I share some stories of the places that I have worked and where they may have gone a bit wrong. I hope you enjoy this episode.

This week on the Lady Leadership podcast I got to the catch up with Change and resilience expert - Ciara Lancaster. After the year that we have had it was great to catch up with Ciara and talk about how we can improve our change resilience. We talked all things change, what do for yourself, what to do for others and what do for your teams plus how can you avoid burnout and overwhelm.
As a former Change Manager at Deloitte Australia (leading teams of 500+ through change), Ciara observed a common theme where brilliant leaders were becoming incredibly stretched with endless change expectations, over and above their core work.
Behind closed doors, many shared vulnerabilities including worry, emotional turmoil and rumination at night. Determined to make a difference, Ciara began researching, connecting with thought leaders and neuroscientists and writing her first book 'Reimagine Change' to fill the coaching gap inside organisations and workplaces.
In a world of relentless organisational change and business transformation, Ciara helps leaders with
- Change fatigue and burnout risks and realities
- Psychological safety and nervous system implications
- Stress management and mindset for personal success
- Connection and collaborative risk-taking for team success
If you or your team are struggling with change then this podcast and Ciara’s book are going to point you in the right direction.

This week on the Lady Leadership podcast I caught up with Zoe Routh. Zoe is a leadership expert and learnt how to be a leader running canoeing expeditions in the wilds of Ontario. Zoe signed up to work at a summer camp and a few years later she was leading 2 - 6 week trips canoeing the rivers in Ontario.
Being thrown together with a group of people that you don't know plus being in the wilderness is a sure way to find out what kind of leader you are. Zoe learnt how to galvanise relationships, motivate a team and also how to have the hard conversations to allow you to get along and survive.
Following this Zoe then spent time planting trees on a plantation and saw how the official leader did not bring the team together so she and others stepped up to do this. So she learnt how to be a leader when you don't necessary have the title.
These experiences then lead Zoe to work for Outward bound in Australia then work with rural communities within corporate helping them create and lead teams more effectively. Seven years Zoe created here own business to help leaders with the people stuff.
Zoe has written four books and her most recent one is called People stuff: Dealing with the tough stuff in leadership.
In this chat, we talked about the behaviours of teams and how fear of loss can trigger the flight and fight behaviours that are primal to us and we go into primal mode and survival mechanisms. Zoe has mapped these behaviours to what can occur in the workplace.
We talked about the decisions that leaders make and how to effectively communicate these and what happens when you don't communicate. Plus what are you doing about the issues? What is your part to play? Are you heading into victim mode? Plus building tribe and team!
You are going to love this! So insightful!
Have a listen and amp up your leadership!

This week on the Lady Leadership with Sam McIntyre show I caught up with Natalie Siston from Small town leadership! Natalie grew up in Ohio in a small town of 600 people where every body knew everybody. This is the type of place where there were no stop lights.
After leaving for college and working at Fortune500 companies and in silicon valley she had realisation that lessons she learnt growing up in that small town and bringing herself back to basics were invaluable leadership lessons.
Natalie believes there are two types of people -those who want to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty and those that don't. Natalie shares how people in her town had many roles in that town and how being connected to the community and to the people made the town and those in it successful.
We talked about networking and the cycle of networking and how in a small town that this happens very naturally and it is give and take. Plus work ethic and being proud of where you come from.
Natalie has also released a new book called Let her out: Reclaim who you have always been! She recently found her diaries that she had started writing when she was eight and she re-discovered who she was and she saw the barriers that she put up in front of herself and in her book she breaks these down and talks through how you can remove these for yourself.
Have a listen!

I got to catch up with fellow retail veteran and leadership expert - Jennifer Thornton this week on the Lady Leadership podcast. Jennifer started her career at the mall working first in store as it was cool to hang at the mall, then in operations and then in HR growing her career into the C-suite to the Head of International HR for a large global retailer. Jen got to travel and work around the world!
Jennifer always believed that results came from talent and it was more strategy driven and that you couldn't get the results you needed unless you had a great team. Jen had helped companies launch in different countries and different brands and she thought that perhaps she could do this for herself. As such she launched 304 Coaching where they help companies develop talent strategies to support their companies.
We talked about what Jen calls the talent cliff and how Jen's company can help businesses develop their talent to support where they are going not where they are now. Often businesses are super focused on what the business is trying to achieve rather than can the talent support this and they go off what Jen calls the talent cliff. That is there top talent starts to lead in fear and control, good people leave and the people that stay just say yes because they don't want to get into trouble!
Jen likes to focus with her clients rather than on where they are now and the problems they have now, but rather where are they going? What do they need in 1, 3 and 5 years. What skills and competencies do they need the team to have where they are going? What are the new roles that they need and how do we get the current team ready for where they are going?
Jen likes to work with the top talent to grow and develop their skills for this future place so that this becomes the norm for the company and the company start to embrace this.
This is a must listen for leaders of teams and for Hr professionals.

Heard the saying - things happen for a reason? Or you should listen to your gut? Or even what is your gut telling you? Well this is the chat that you are going to want to tune into!
I had the great honour of chatting this week to Raquel Vasallo who is a spiritual advisor to female visionaries and leaders. She is an International Speaker, Mystic Artist and Feminine Leadership trendsetter. Plus she has also written a book called Spiritual Seductress.
In 2008, Raquel was living the dream life working as an Architect for a star firm and had a near death experience - she was unfortunately run over by a car and survived. Following this she had a major spiritual awakening. That was the calling that Raquel needed to change up her life.
Raquel works with women and they are usually at a point that they have reached a point in their life where they have had a lot of success but still feel like something is missing in their life and she works with women to discover what this is.
We talk about feeling frustrated by the patriachal society that we live within and wanting to have a bigger voice and how to step into your power more. We talked about what spirituality means to her and how women have turned down their natural instincts. We talk about how to tune into our energy for the benefit of business and exercising and trusting your intuition.
Plus we even touch on universal law and abundance.
This is a super super interesting chat and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
To work with Raquel.

This week on the Lady Leadership podcast I caught up with Maddie Brown. Maddie is an accountant with more than 30 years working with small businesses and entrepreneurs - I thought that we were going to be talking mainly Money but this interview was so much more.
Maddie left her secure but underwhelming job at the age of 50 and bought a small accountancy firm . In Maddie's words she was very unhappy in her job and had become complacent and used to the that unhappiness. It was the best thing that she has ever done and absolutely loves her business and the people that she helps and works with.
As such we talked change and entrepreneurship and moving in the direction of your dreams and that you can make money in thousands of ways.
Over the years, Maddie has worked with thousands of clients (most of them being amazing women), and has helped them get their finances in order and get them past the fear of being judged on their bookkeeping.
If you are looking for some motivation and inspiration then have a listen.

This week on the Lady Leadership podcast I caught up with workplace specialist and author Michelle Gibbings to talk Bad bosses!
At one time or another we've all had a bad boss – whether it’s through bullying and intimidation, unfair feedback or unrealistic workloads. Their behaviour sets the tone for what's acceptable at work and can cause major issues for productivity, staff turnover and wellbeing, especially in turbulent times we’re experiencing. In a tough or toxic work environment, how can we find harmony with those we work with?
In the new book, Bad Boss: What to do if you work for one, manage one or are one , workplace expert Michelle Gibbings draws upon decades of experience in corporate leadership to provide a practical transformation guide. She covers all three perspectives: the direct report, the boss and the boss's boss, helping readers quickly identify where the issue lies, along with actionable steps to turn things around if you finding yourself working for a bad boss.
Michelle says that bad bosses aren’t always bad people, and it takes work at every level to create an environment where everyone can flourish. If you dare to examine your own role in your current situation and take swift action, you’ll gain better relationships and greater career satisfaction.
Bad Boss is an essential read for anyone in (or wanting to avoid) a toxic work environment, filled with practical advice and actional steps to turn things around for any organisation.
Not only did we discuss Bad bosses and what to do and not what to do but we also discussed finding Joy and happiness plus spending more time in nature and doing the things that you love.

This week on the Lady Leadership podcast I sat down with Vicki Macdermid from Equilead to to talk leadership and connection through the insights of horses. As an avid horse lover and horse rider this was a chat that I was really looking forward to.
After spending about 30 years working in a corporate career in many leadership roles and being a partner of a large business called Pitch Partners plus a TedX speaker. Vicki has launched her new business combining her love of horses and leadership.
After attending a number of courses on leadership herself over the years, Vicki had the insight that learning comes from doing and participating not sitting in a classroom. Plus after spending time with horses she saw that the best outcomes for horse and human come from connection. When their is real connection in what we are trying to achieve together.
As such, Vicki runs courses that involve teams working on the ground with a horse to achieve an outcome . As Vicki says the horse does not care is you are the Managing Director! Vicki is their to help facilitate the interaction and provide insight and through the horses reactions give feedback as to what the horse is saying with its behaviour.
I think you are going to find this chat very insightful.

This week I caught up with Wendy Born - I loved this chat with Wendy about leadership. Wendy has recently written a book called Raising Leaders - using the principles of parenting at work to to become a great leaders and create great leaders.
Wendy says that when you observe the behaviour of leaders you admire, you will see similarities between them and your own experiences as a child or parent.
We started off the show with a quote from Wendy's book that talks about comparing yourself to who you were and not others! Such great advice.
We talked Wendy's 5 leadership principles of Love, Environment, Health, Language and Vision.
This discussion is all about what good leadership looks like and creating connection with your team and what to do when you are struggling with this.
We even talked about putting our children on performance plans!

In this episode of Lady Leadership I share my top tips for negotiating your salary.
Negotiating salaries can be difficult, you don't want to pitch yourself too low and you don't want to pitch yourself too high!
My golden rule is not to disclose what you want first but rather ask what is the job paying?
Any company that advertisers a job is going to have a range that they want to pay for a role.
They have to budget for it in their financials!
Check out how i recommend that you answer the dreaded question? What is your current salary?
And what I think you should ask when asked this question!
You are going to love it!

What would you do if you woke up one morning and your business had to pivot entirely!
As the Customer Experience Officer for Fed Square this is exactly what Suzana and her team faced!
Have a listen to the interview where Suzana shares exactly what Fed Square did, how they did it and how they managed and inspired the team through this crises. Plus what they are thinking for next year and how they are planning.
I also talk to Suzana about how a Brazilian native found herself in Melbourne Australia! We talk about Suzana's love of creating an event and what I most loved about this chat is how Suzana has approached her career to grow it into what it is today. She has focused on 'what is the gap' and also focused on developing new skills she needs to fill that gap. We also discussed how not knowing anyone in Melbourne she has built such a fantastic career. Suzana has a lot to be proud of!
I think you will love this chat with Suzana!

This week on the Lady Leadership podcast I catch up with Gabrielle Dolan who is a speaker, an author but more importantly an expert in Storytelling.
Gabrielle had a very successful corporate career working in Leadership and Change Management when she accidentally became a storyteller. As someone who worked for a big bank she noticed that the really good presenters shared stories. As someone who had always told a good story this resonated with her and she wanted to develop the idea that story telling could be a better way to communicate.
She decided that she wanted to create her own business and create a process and a methodology to tell stories.
We talk about what makes a good story and how to tell it, we discuss how Gabrielle run's her business through the mantra of Think, Sell and Deliver and we even dive into writing books.
I think you are really going to enjoy this podcast!

Do you need some help with Marketing your small business? This week on the Lady Leadership podcast - I sat down with Laura Higgins founder and owner of My Marketing Playbook and LaLa Social club.
Laura is an online marketing expert and grew her business by doing! Laura has developed an online course that brings together the key things that people need to know when they are marketing their business. She believes that marketing shouldn't be hard work and that it should be fun to build your business and drive growth in your business.
Originally having studied design Laura developed a real skill and passion for marketing when she failed at her sales job for a coffee business and they asked her to move into marketing.
The strategies that she developed for that business worked and their business 'blew up' and she started to get asked by others how she had done it. And so started the Marketing Playbook.
Laura's marketing now spans across many business areas and her fresh and effective marketing ideas have helped many businesses to grow and succeed.
Laura and I discuss what her course covers plus her tips for Marketing a small business.
We talk about consistently showing up, we talk about growing your business and attracting the people you really want to engage in your business. Plus we talk Gary-vee style creating and the importance of repurposing content and being smart about using your resources.
Laura also talks about how small business can really play to their strengths by being nimble and having personality and the ability to pivot especially through Cov-id.
We also talk about the ability to cut through the noise online and the importance of standing for something. Getting clarity of your audience and who you are speaking to!
And we discuss iterations of customer over time and getting clarity on the result that you want and then using the language of your customers.
And helping people! We also talk about who is inspiring us plus tools!
I could talk to Laura all day! Have a listen you will love this podcast!

As my hubby (expert on everything) says if you don't know how to present your ideas then you are in big trouble!
This week I caught up with Michelle Bowden who has run the course 'Persuasive Presenting' 893 times! Yes you heard me correctly! Michelle more than knows what you need to do when you present!
Michelle believes that you can get anything you want if you are good at 'Persuasive Presenting!'
Now this doesn't just mean standing in a boardroom or presenting to thousands of people. This means in all your communication - every day! Yes I mean sending emails, dealing with your kids or maybe buying a new car!
We talk the do's and don'ts for presenting plus also what is different for women!
Not much it seems!
Michelle has a simple process that can change how you present and if you only do half what she recommends you will see life changing results!
For Michelle, it is all about Analyse, Design and Delivery!
You can find michelle at www.michellebowden.com.au!

I originally met Nikki Ricks after I got in touch with her following after an email that popped into my inbox that she had recently graduated from GA as a Developer. Nikki's background and path to being a Developer fascinated me.
Nikki originally studied Town Planning but after working in the field and discovering that she was an intrapreneur she knew that she needed to get out of the office that she was in and throw herself into the startup world.
Nikki worked with a number of startups but after spending more time in the space she wanted to be on the other side of the conversation and learn more about the tech that powered a number of solutions.
After some self learning she enrolled in a GA tech immersive and now is working as a fully fledged developer. On this path Nikki needed to get comfortable with the value of never ending learning in your job - being a developer.
Nikki is curious and places great value in being on a path to always learning something new and trying new things - including being a stand up comedian!
We talked about being a women in tech, being curious and beating imposter syndrome plus bias in the workplace in gender and race.
Check out this podcast with Nikki Ricks!

This week on the Lady Leadership podcast I caught up with Fiona Robertson who is a Culture Change expert.
We chat culture - what it is and what it isn't and how culture is often mistaken as engagement!
Fiona talks about how culture is the system and the rules that determine what it takes to belong and to fit into a group. We discuss how often people will do almost anything to fit into a group. We also talk about how engagement can be confused with culture where as engagement is how people engage with that system.
We also talk about unwritten rules and behaviours of groups and how these are interpreted plus how strategy and culture can work together.
Fiona is so passionate about culture that she has written a book, called the 'Rules of Belonging'. I'm sure that you will find this chat as fascinating as I did and it will give you great insight into the world of culture.

In this weeks episode of the Lady Leadership podcast I caught up with my good friend and yogi - Ivy Evenden.
Ivy is a passionate entrepreneur that has turned what was a passion of having a yoga practice into a thriving business - Liquid Room - yoga and float studio. Ivy didn't start out wanting to own her own business but after mastering her own practice she wanted to learn more about the practice and as such did teacher training. This lead to her being asked to teach and realising that she had a passion for teaching. Once she learned about the benefits of floating - she created Liquid Room. Her own business.
We talk about the benefits of having a yoga practice, we discuss creating spirituality and awareness through repetitive movement. Relaxing your mind and your body and not having to be in fight or flight! Plus being present.
There are so many great messages in this podcast that you could incorporate into your own career - such as creating social media - 6 months before she even opened! And we discuss how to engage with customers and share your journey and the trust that you can create with them.
This is a great podcast and worth more than one listen!

- Being outcome and delivery focused - how can I rather than how can't I.
- What's the next job and the job after that.
- Who have you got around?
This is a nice short one! Have a listen - get in touch if you are interested in finding out more.

In this episode of the Lady leadership podcast I talk about some of the ways that I build great teams that deliver and transform the work that organisations do!
I talk about how I manage work priorities for really large pieces of work and big organisations and how I make work visible with the team. I talk about working on less and only starting what you can finish plus not starting before you start.
Ever wondered how a fish finger is made? Well I know exactly how and then all the processes around that fish finger to get it from the trawler to the checkout - I know this from following the work. How much do you think about work in terms of value add and failure demand? Which of these processes are really required?
And do you really know your people? Are you really spending time with them?
There a lot to discuss in this weeks episode of Lady Leadership! Check it out!
Cheers Sam.

I often get asked how I made it from the Helpdesk to the C suite?
How did I make it happen?
I recently got asked by friend to discuss my career and how I work with her colleague.
My friend's colleague was trying to decide where to take her career next, what did she want to pursue and how? She was really interested in the way that I work and how I organise myself.
As such I decided that I would make a podcast about this.
Therefore in this week's episode of the podcast I discuss:

I was very excited to catch up with Louiza Nutt this week on the Lady Leadership podcast.
Louiza is an IT expert and has been a senior manager in many large organisations leading technology teams for many years. Louiza is passionate about helping women navigate a career in tech and as such she is also on the Board of the VIC ICT for Women which is a non for profit championing women in IT. As well as this she is director of their Go Girl - Go for IT program that is focusing on educating school age girl from age 9 - 18 on the benefits of a career in Tech.
I caught up with Louiza to discuss all things to do with the Go Girl - Go for IT program as well as also discussing her thoughts on female diversity in IT, unconscious bias that she has seen and what can women do about it.
I loved this chat with Louiza particularly how she got started with the Go Girl - Go for IT program! Thanks for joining me this week and I hope you got some tips and hints from Louiza that can help in your career or business.

With more people working from home and more people connecting with each other through technology I thought it would be great to catch up with Cybersecurity expert - Claire Pales.
Claire runs a Cybersecurity company called 27Lanterns - she specialises in helping companies understand their security requirements and hire the right people for the organisation at the right time. Her model is to step into the Chief Security Officer role - help the organisation navigate their security concerns and then replace herself in that role. 27Lanterns came about because she realised that those that were trying to hire security teams did not necessarily have the background nor the skillset to do so.
Claire has also written a book called the Secure CIO that works through her framework that assist companies to work through their security requirements and hire the right security people and strategy to take the business forward. She also has a podcast were she interviews many CIO’s on how they have built their security teams.
Prior to running her own business Claire had grown her career at multiple large organisation and across many countries. We discuss the skills shortage in security, we discuss women in IT and security and we discussed the importance of networking and maintaining networks and how important they are if you spend some time overseas.
We talked about sharing your data, how well do you know companies and trust them with your information, and the data of your children and the importance of password security especially for children.
We also talk about where is Australia in line with the rest of world with Cybersecurity? Are we are experiencing the same threats as the rest of the world? Does Australia need to uplift their maturity.
We finish with ‘if you are a CIO’ what should you be focusing on at the moment.
I absolutely loved this chat with Claire - I am so impressed with her experience, her career and the business that she has created. Hope you get as much out of this chat as I did.

And we discussed Margot Andersens business - InSync Network Group.

How is your inner voice? Jane calls this the 'Itty Bitty Shitty' committee - that little voice inside your head that tells you that you can't do something. This is something that I personally have struggled with over the years - especially in relation to my career.
Jane works on mindset, confidence and emotional resilience for equestrians. It takes a lot of confidence to get on and ride around on horses or even develop a relationship with them on the ground. Jane grew up in a family that breed and competed horses but not being an adrenaline junky - she knew the anxiety that can come with competition and being on a horse.
After years of exploring her career path, Jane created the company Confident rider. I have been following Jane's work for quite a number of years and knew she was the perfect guest for Lady Leadership.
We all face the fears of not being good enough in everyday life and in our careers.
In this chat we talk about 'faking it till you make it ' how it doesn't really work, we discuss women having a voice, we talk flow and pushing yourself outside your boundaries. Plus we also chat about looking at goals in a different way and how starting to practice the smallest part of dreams can help you reach them.
I love the work that Jane does and I am sure that you will get lots of great insights from this.
Enjoy!

Is home schooling better? Better for who?
Better for our children, allowing them to know themselves better and make better choices, leading to more fulfilled lives.
As the nation heads into a potential term of school from home - I thought that home schooling and school from home would be a great topic to discuss.
As such, I am very excited to have my first guest on the Lady Leadership podcast - Billy Flynn!
Billy is ‘as you would say’ is ‘educated’. Billy went to Geelong Grammar, she studied Industrial Engineering at Melbourne Uni and then went on to study an MBA. She has also worked at many organisations in engineering, customer service, change and transformation. She is a life long learner and is curious about the world around her and her family.
Why then would someone like Billy decide that the best way to school her young son Bucky is home schooling. Billy realised though that even with all this education that she didn’t really know who she was and what was her purpose, until a lot later in life!
In this episode we discuss Billy’s reasons for homeschooling and the principles that she has developed over the last 5 years and what does a day look like for Billy and Bucky.
We discuss
- Self directed learning.
- Being out in the world and learning.
- Exploring yourself and knowing yourself.
- Children have a right to their own childhood and a right to play.
- Life is good and fun.
- Consumption vs Creativity. A 50 - 50 model.
We even discuss Bucky’s thoughts on home schooling.
The resources that Billy mentions in the podcast are:
John Taylor Gatto - 'Dumming us Down' & 'Weapons of Mass Instruction'
Alfie Kohn - 'No Contest' & 'Unconditional Parenting' + he has many other books on Education
Russell Ackoff & Daniel Greenberg - 'Turning Learning Right Side Up'
Bruno Bettleheim - 'The Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales' + there are many others
A. S. Neill - 'Summerhill; a radical approach to child rearing'
I would like to thank Billy for her time and absolutely loved this catch up.
