    Sep 27 2024

    Send us a text

    In this final episode of our Confidence Enables Success mini-series we focus on having the confidence to speak up, have a voice and address difficult or inappropriate moments. In particular, situations that require someone to call in or call out something that may be said or done that is not inclusive or mindful of difference.

    Joined once again by the inspiration Nzinga Orgill who works with organisations to change cultures to make them more inclusive. Her focus is on action and doing the right thing and she shares her thoughts on how to avoid being a bystander and generate the confidence to speak up and have a voice.

    A great listen for those looking for a practical approach to bystander training and all things EDI. Still the only Nzinga Orgill online, Nzinga can be contacted through LinkedIn and her profile is a treasure trove of resources to inspire and support you in making a positive difference.

  • 202. Pursuing A Career Dream
    Sep 13 2024

    Send us a text

    In this second part of our Confidence Enables Success mini-series, we explore the idea of taking a 'second mountain' in a career. As many mid-lifers find themselves re-evaluating their career journey it can be inspiring to remember that it is never too late to listen to our true self and pursue an inner calling. Rather than squeezing yourself to fit in, maybe its about having the confidence to expand and step out.

    We are thrilled to be joined by Pippa Winn (aka Pippa Winner) who shares her experiences of pursuing her dream career as a curve model and actor at age 55. Having achieved huge success in her stellar career in beauty, she describes how inside she was feeling broken and knew something had to change. From working through significant life events and overcoming health setbacks, Pippa shares some hilarious and heartfelt moments (gold jumpsuit, anyone?) as a reminder that sometimes in our careers, the best is yet to come.

    Pippa reminds us that no matter our age of experience, to dream BIG (we call this Bold, Inquisitive & Goalposts can move). She talks about the life-changing exercise of asking the big 4 questions (we summarise this at the end, but here is the original book: Ikigai Discover Your Purpose and Passion in Life

    A reaffirming, funny and feelgood listen for those whom may resonate with the topics of handling health challenges, recently-diagnosed ADHD or a sense of feeling lost in their career.
