S2, E23 - Expansion with Ann-Madeleine Njike

Thu, 14 Dec 2023 10:30:53 GMT

What if you were to stop what you’re doing and truly listen to yourself? Would you be exactly where you’re at right at this very moment or would you be someplace else?

Through sharing her career journey and story, Ann-Madeleine also opens up publicly about what led her to her burnout, how she navigated this challenging period and more importantly: what she did to recharge, realign and find herself again.

Expect this episode to be a true source of inspiration as Ann-Madeleine shares more about her professional journey which included carving a path for herself as well as for others, but also how more recently she moved away from a go-go-go approach to tune in & being kind with herself.

Please note that for this episode, Ann-Madeleine has shared her story in her personal capacity.

About Ann-Madeleine

Ann-Madeleine Njike is a senior in-house legal counsel at Barclays Bank in the Structured Products and Equities team, based in London.

As a qualified lawyer (England and Wales) and bilingual French jurist, Ann-Madeleine supports business partners globally. Prior to her role at Barclays, she spent over 10 years at Crédit Agricole CIB London branch. There she set up Crédit Agricole’s first ever complete SRA in-house qualification training programme for employees. Ann-Madeleine was the first to qualify under this programme, studying part-time (evening) for two years whilst working in the Capital Markets Legal

team (which was a challenge!).

Ann-Madeleine is of mixed cultural heritage (British/Cameroonian) - born in France while also living in Cameroon for three years as a child, she was brought up in a blend of cultures and languages which helped her develop a strong ability to see and understand different and unique perspectives. Ann-Madeleine deeply believes in empowering others to become the best, most authentic version of themselves. She believes that we are all able to transform our lives in the most magnificent way,

regardless of our past and to transcend cycles which may have kept us stuck for a bit.

One of her deepest convictions is that we each have incredible gifts to bring to this world. To her, the best is always to come and she will always strive to support others through mentoring, coaching and sometimes just active listening or holding space. That’s just how she’s wired! When she’s not discussing personal transformation and life’s big questions with others (soul food for her), Ann-Madeleine enjoys mindfulness and energy practices, weights training, horse riding,

scuba diving, travelling the world (and enjoying its foods), reading and creating medicinal tinctures. One of her favourite quotations - “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change” - Wayne Dyer

S2, E20 - Cultivate-Joy with Diane Touren

Thu, 02 Nov 2023 10:45:50 GMT

Dear listener, get yourself comfortably set up for this 20th episode with Diane Touren and be ready to embark on a mindfulness journey as she shares her story with us.

Diane has lived, studied and worked in many countries including France, China, Switzerland, Spain Egypt and Canada, just to name a few. She has worked for large organisations such as Ritz-Carlton and Sephora and today… today, she lives in a monastery in France, and truly thrives being in the service of others.

During this episode, we unpack together the key moments that form part of Diane’s story but also how these led to the life she lives today. Diane is a true force of nature and maybe like me, you’ll feel how contagious her peacefulness and mindfulness are!

About Diane Touren

Born in France, and recently Canadian, Diane (aka Dee) had the opportunity to travel and discover other cultures at a very early age. After studying at a prestigious university in Canada and a hospitality school in Switzerland, she started her career by choosing companies that reflected her personal values (Ritz-Carlton and Sephora amongst others). Being laid off after the pandemic, she decided to explore a different way of life based on living together and community service which resembled more what she had known in China.

Thanks to almost “magical” circumstances, she discovered Plum Village, a Buddhist monastery created by Thich Nhat Hahn in the Bordeaux region in France, that serves as a school for mindfulness and engaged Buddhism, and receives thousands of people every year in the hope of contributing to more peace, joy, and happiness in the world.

She is now contributing to the monastery life by offering her presence and living there as a long-term resident and freelance worker.

Tue, 06 Dec 2022 09:15:00 GMT

Dear listener, I’m delighted to introduce you to this very unique episode with a special guest: Nicola Cloherty.

During this episode, Nicola shares her professional story, without filters, and what has been her career journey, all whilst living in New Zealand, England, Spain & Netherlands.

This also includes Nicola's career achievements such as owning her worth, asking the salary she deserved but also launching her own business and building the career that truly resonated with her.

About Nicola

Nicola Cloherty is a multi-passionate woman. She mentors, coaches, and teaches women to deconstruct the ‘shoulds’ and become brave enough to (re)birth themselves, their relationships, and how they work. She works with a treasure trove of modalities and tools - including intuitive wisdom, Human Design and energy medicine - to support women in reacquainting themselves with their truth, purpose, and power to birth things other than humans.

She is a Menstrual Awareness Advocate, teaching women how their menstrual cycle works and impacts life and work and how to live in partnership with it. Nicola is also a Reiki practitioner and integrative healer and uses this in her work as and when needed.

Her biggest passion is giving women a ‘remembrance’ of who they inherently are and guiding them to deconstruct and decondition away from how they ‘think’ they should live, create and work, toward what feels most natural, joyful and expansive in life and work.

Nicola also has 15+ years of experience in marketing, communications and business, working for international brands, female entrepreneurs and creative service providers. She has a wealth of experience working on and in various companies, with varying human and personality dynamics.

S1, E23 - Her Career, Her Code with Emma Cohen

Tue, 22 Nov 2022 09:15:01 GMT

We hear a lot of stories about professionals who have changed companies because they hit the glass ceiling in their previous ones: this episode is not one of these.

Instead, it’s the story of how Emma started in her company 7 years ago as an apprentice and is now in charge of building and growing her own department. And whilst it’s been in the same company, Emma definitely shares that these past 8 years have been a source of various experiences & learnings.

This episode is for you if you’re looking for real-talk “been there done that” when it comes to speaking up with confidence and growing out of your comfort zone as it’s exactly Emma’s journey & what she’s sharing!

About Emma:

Having worked in the world of professional services for over 7 years, she has seen first-hand the pitfalls business owners get into time and time again, and she is passionate about helping business owners and entrepreneurs solve their problems with technology and digital solutions. After gaining experience in Cloud Accounting, she is now the Digital Solutions Manager at the top 75 accountancy and advisory firm – Raffingers.

Her background has not always been accounting based. After completing her Administrative Assistant apprenticeship at Raffingers, she decided to make a huge change in my career path and get her first taste of numbers and technology.

Fast forward to now, she is the face of Raffingers’ new Digital Solutions Department and spends every day, doing something she absolutely loves. Emma is an outside-the-box thinker, strives in helping businesses succeed, and loves to provide advice for those who want to take that extra leap in their career, based on her own experience.

S1, E22 - Her Career, Her Code with Rachel Barber

Tue, 08 Nov 2022 09:15:39 GMT

I’m so glad that Rachel accepted to come on the podcast and share her story. A few reasons for that: first, it’s the first episode of Her Career, Her Code recorded with the video ON. Even though we made sure that you, dear listener, do not hear any specific visual references, I believe this has brought a different focus to the conversation Rachel & I had. The reason why we did it this way is that Rachel’s ADHD means that it’s easier to see the person she’s speaking with rather than keeping solely the audio, and I’m so glad we did the episode this way!

Other reasons that I’m incredibly happy for this episode to go out to you is that Rachel genuinely shares so much of her career and what she learned along the way. Including how she went from being made redundant after only a few weeks into her role to starting her own business venture and ending up overbooked with clients! She’s a passionate individual and professional and I hope that you’ll enjoy listening to her story as much as I did!

About Rachel

Rachel Barber is Founder and Director of Creating Stories Ltd - offering content services for startups, brands and entrepreneurs who want to make a positive impact on the world around them.

Tara also shares her interesting perspective about impostor syndrome and how seeing it as a moment (i.e. something temporary we need to overcome, rather than something that impacts us 24/24 7/7) can help shift things around.

About Tara

Tara is a limitless leadership coach and mentor. She accelerates women in male-dominated industries and beyond to create the extraordinary career, business and life success they desire!

Fri, 22 Jul 2022 08:15:55 GMT

Looking for practical steps that you can take to empower yourself & your colleagues as women in the workplace? I’m so excited to introduce you to this new episode with Rachel where we dive straight into topics such as diversity & inclusion at work, women empowerment & the importance of allies.

If you have been struggling to get your voice heard in the workplace (or elsewhere) this episode is for you as Rachel shares some insightful tips to boost your confidence levels. Let’s dive in!

About Rachel

As a high school English teacher turned marketing director, Rachel went from a female-majority career to being the only woman in the office. While she’s loved her time in the Utah tech scene, she’s also seen the need to bring men into the conversation—creating allies, not enemies.

Rachel is passionate about helping women transition confidently into tech careers and helping men to be better advocates. She believes in a world where men lift women in the workplace at the same time that women lift men at home—where we accept that every situation is different and assume positive intent.

Currently, Rachel is working as Director of Editorial Strategy at Clearlink, supporting business.org and other brands. More than anything, she loves her husband and three feminist toddlers.
