  • Deconstructing Imposter Syndrome: An Open & Honest Conversation with My Friends
    Feb 6 2024

    On this episode, I'm joined by a couple of close and long-time friends, Mala and Kemi. We chop it up as we normally would whenever we meet up... but maybe a little calmer!


    We discuss our thoughts on Imposter Syndrome. What it means to us. How it shows up in our professional lives. How we manage the related feelings. The factors that may create the feeling in the first place, and so on.


    This is an open and honest conversation between three professional women and dear friends.

  • Transitioning from Consultancy to Startup (with Richard Rosser)
    Oct 24 2023

    This week, I speak to ⁠Richard Rosser⁠, Co-Founder of ⁠Movemeon⁠, a platform that helps consultants navigate their career within and beyond consulting firms.


    Rich and his Co-Founder met each other while at McKinsey and decided to take a leap into the world of HR Tech after an exhausting experience during their own job search when they had made the decision to leave consultancy.


    Rich and I discuss the allure of leaving consultancy for startups and the many nuances of this of this experience. Having worked as a Strategy Consultant, himself, setting up several start-ups and working with many more, Richard was the perfect person to have this conversation with.


    Though this conversation is focussed on those considering leaving consultancy or have left, much of what we discuss and share can be helpful for most listeners considering a new opportunity or working for a startup.
