Executives fail when they ignore the human side. Transitioning into a C-suite or executive role is one of the most challenging leaps a leader can take.

In this episode on WECAN, Stephanie welcomes Navid Nazemian, ranked the World's #1 Executive Coach, Bestselling Author of "Mastering Executive Transitions," Keynote Speaker and NED. His work focuses on helping high-level executives maximise their impact to avoid the common pitfalls of new roles, building high-performing teams and creating admired organisations.

This episode provides a roadmap for navigating the high-stakes world of corporate leadership. Learn about his fascinating career pivot from Sales to HR, and the raw insights he gained along the way, why culture, relationships, and stakeholders matter more than technical ability! Above all, we should seek and accept mental feedback.

We also explore: The Career Pivot: How Navid transitioned from a sales background into the heart of Human Resources. Mastering Transitions: The core themes of Navid’s book, why most executive transitions fail, and how to intervene successfully. The Power of the Last 90 Days: Why the end of your first three months is just as critical as the beginning. The 6 Qualities of Extraordinary Leaders: A deep dive into Confidence, Self-Awareness, Connection, Inspiration, Courage, and Clarity. A Framework for Growth: Navid’s personal strategy for continuous individual development and understanding customer needs. "Success is not measured by my own milestones, but by the achievements and growth of the clients I serve. Don’t just prepare for the role—prepare for the transition." — Navid Nazemian Connect with Navid: Website: https://www.masteringexecutivetransitions.com/

With over 40 years of experience, Sam has pioneered the strategies that empower "everyday people" to influence high-level policy. As the founder of RESULTS and the RESULTS Educational Fund, Sam has built an international grassroots lobby dedicated to creating the political will to end hunger and poverty. Under his leadership, RESULTS has a four-decade track record of successfully mobilising billions in public funding for cost-effective, life-saving programs.

In this video, they explore: Sam Daley-Harris shared positive examples of congressional pushback against President Trump's proposed budget cuts, including successful funding for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria, and maternal and child health programs. He emphasised the importance of transformational advocacy beyond elections, highlighting how grassroots efforts and constituent pressure can influence legislation. Sam discussed his own background in music and how it led to his advocacy work, encouraging listeners to reflect on their own stories and commitments. The conversation also touched on the need for basic information about government processes, the media's role in reporting those basic facts and the potential for individual action to make a difference, even in a time of political division and low voter turnout. Sam Daley-Harris discussed the importance of individuals and groups standing for humanity amidst political challenges in the U.S., urging listeners to engage in transformational advocacy to reclaim the political centre.

Transformational Advocacy: How Sam’s organisation, Civic Courage, trains nonprofits to turn their members into powerful advocates who can move the needle in the media and the halls of government. Practical Activism: Proven strategies for anyone who wants to become an effective changemaker and create real legislative impact. "Advocacy isn't just about sending an email; it’s about building a relationship that creates a champion for your cause."

]]> <![CDATA[John Frieda's Life: The Story Behind the Hairstylist Who Transformed Haircare]]> Wed, 04 Mar 2026 01:00:00 GMT 1:01:29 69a5bd4411f5657ded07cc35 false 69a5bd4411f5657ded07cc35 672a60918e194291077fd7e1 john-frieda-interview-the-story-behind-the-hairstylist-who-t From 16 year old school leaver to Haircare Innovator and Visionary full 2 21 Discover the story behind one of the most influential names in haircare in this exclusive WECAN Interview with legendary hairstylist John Frieda. For more than 30 years, the John Frieda® brand has been on a mission to transform hair with salon-quality results by addressing the very specific needs of every hair type. From brightening blonde and brunette tones to controlling curls, boosting volume, and fighting frizz, the brand’s innovations are designed to help people reveal what makes their hair and their style unique. Before there was Frizz Ease and Sheer Blonde, there was a boy in a London salon who believed hair care could do more than just clean hair, it could unlock confidence. The story began in the mid-1970s, when English star hairdresser John Frieda opened his first salon on New Cavendish Street in London. His expertise quickly made him one of the most sought-after stylists in fashion and celebrity circles. He famously created the "Purdey" cut, iconic in Melon Hat and Leather Boots. Through years of working in salons and on fashion shoots, John Frieda developed a deep understanding of how different hair types behave and why they require different solutions. Frizz, dull blonde, brunette colour maintenance, fine hair lacking volume… he realised there was no universal answer for everyone. That insight led him to develop targeted haircare innovations designed to solve real hair challenges and deliver visible transformations. "Your hair is not just unique. It’s an extension of who you are and a way to express yourself. Your hair goals are for you, and they change and evolve just like you do. At John Frieda, we are all about empowering you with transformational tools to achieve those goals, for hair that makes you feel confident, lets you express your true self and unlocks the beautiful power within you."

Liz shares her journey from mobilising women voters during the 2020 election to becoming a connector and strategist working to strengthen progressive voices online. As the founder of ConnectForward.org and host of the Demfluence Podcast, she operates at the intersection of politics, fundraising, digital media, and grassroots organising. Together, we explore the evolving political landscape and the urgent need for more effective and inclusive messaging. Liz reflects on lessons learned from recent elections, including how harsh rhetoric and partisan framing can sometimes alienate the very voters movements hope to reach. She discusses her own “strategic reset” and why pragmatic dialogue, community organising, and coalition-building are essential to rebuilding trust across political divides. Defending democracy isn’t only the work of politicians or institutions but something everyday people can do in their own communities. Whether through organising, conversation, or digital engagement, each of us has a role to play. If you care about democracy, political engagement, and building bridges in a divided era, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. Fundraiser. Activist. Connector.

From launching with just 20 students to now serving over 2,800 learners across 72 countries, Crimson has evolved into a global education platform offering multiple learning modes, international curricula, and even hybrid campus options. Penelope explains how breaking free from traditional school schedules empowers students to accelerate academically, pursue elite extracurriculars, or thrive in environments tailored to their needs. Key themes in this interview include the rise of flexible, student-centred education models; building scalable systems that prioritise process over personality; why leaders must be “soft on people and hard on systems”; creating high-performance global teams through servant leadership; and finally using technology and AI to personalise learning at scale. Expanding access to education through government partnerships, beginning with New Zealand’s first online charter school with over 600 teachers and staff worldwide and more than 140,000 live classes delivered annually, Crimson’s model demonstrates how technology can strengthen human connection, not replace it. Penelope’s mission is clear: disrupt outdated education systems and make world-class, personalised learning accessible to students everywhere.

Lee shares his personal and professional journey from growing up in the north of England to becoming one of the UK’s leading voices on gender equity and inclusive leadership. From founding a tech business and navigating a life-changing health recovery to becoming a stay-at-home father, Lee’s lived experiences deepened his understanding of caregiving, workplace culture, and the realities of gender bias. In this episode, we discuss: 🔹 What male allyship really looks like in practice 🔹 Why allyship is about consistent, intentional actions — not grand gestures 🔹 The importance of self-education and challenging our own biases 🔹 How gender inclusion drives innovation, strengthens teams, and mitigates business risk 🔹 Workplace well-being in a hyper-digital world 🔹 Redefining success and focusing energy on what we can control Lee also shares insights from his book Momentum, which highlights 13 lessons from his 20-year career, and reflects on how we can periodically redefine success as we grow. For Lee, success means waking up to do work he loves, with people he loves, creating meaningful impact. Looking ahead, Lee outlines exciting plans for 2026, including research into boys and senior male leaders, the UK’s first National Allyship Summit, and the first Festival of the Boy, all aimed at building a more inclusive and equitable future.

A NEW YEAR AND THREE NEW WEEKLY ROLE MODELS FULL OF ADVICE AND INSIGHTS:

Exploring leadership, curiosity and creativity with Fredrik Haren, a renowned global speaker, author, and creative explorer, to dive deep into the true nature and what it means to lead humanely in a technology-driven world. Fredrik shares insights from his latest book, The World of Creativity, based on his journey across 37 countries studying how creativity shows up across cultures. Rather than treating creativity as an output or talent, Fredrik reframes it as a personal journey of self-discovery, driven by curiosity and reflection. In this conversation, we explore why creativity is one of the most important skills for future leaders, how introversion and solitude can fuel powerful creativity, and Fredrik’s unique lifestyle of travelling the world and creating from his private island. He shares practical strategies to nurture creativity at work (including turning creative “outlets” into productive “inlets”) and why leaders should act more human in an increasingly automated world. Fredrik also reflects on his success as a speaker, his approach to leadership and parenting, and why continuous growth, not comfort, is his definition of success. This episode is a must-watch for leaders, creatives, entrepreneurs, and anyone curious about unlocking their creative potential and inspiring others by leading with humanity. #curiosityandcreativity #technology #FredrickHaren #WeCan ________________________________________________________________________

Featuring the renowned American academic and animal behaviourist, Dr Temple Grandin, covering a wide-ranging conversation on autism, innovation, and purpose. Dr Grandin did not speak until she was three and a half years old and was later diagnosed with autism. Despite a doctor’s recommendation that she be institutionalised, her parents chose a different path—one that nurtured her intelligence and curiosity through a series of supportive schools. That decision changed everything. Watch until the end to learn how Dr Grandin’s lived experience with autism became the foundation for her groundbreaking work designing systems that reduce stress in both human and animal populations. Dr Grandin went on to become a leading author, speaker, and advocate in the fields of autism and animal behaviour, while also building a highly successful career consulting on livestock handling equipment design and animal welfare. An Emmy Award-winning HBO film starring Claire Danes chronicled her life, and in 2016, she was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Today, nearly half of all cattle in the United States are handled in facilities she designed. Books by Temple Grandin include: - Different Kinds of Minds: A Guide to Your Brain - Autism and Education: The Way I See It: What Parents and Teachers Need to Know - Visual Thinking - Navigating Autism: 9 Mindsets For Helping Kids on the Spectrum - The Outdoor Scientist - The Wonder of Observing the Natural World - Calling All Minds - How to Think and Create Like an Inventor - The Way I See It - Thinking in Pictures, My Life with Autism - The Autistic Brain: Helping Different Kinds of Minds Succeed Chapters: 00:00 Meet Temple 04:24 Her Work 07:00 Motivations 08:35 Pride 10:58 Top Tips 12:30 Inspiration 15:54 Plans & Goals #autism #innovation #TempleGrandin #WeCan ________________________________________________________________________

In this talk, part of our January recap series, she explores how thinking like an urban anthropologist can transform the way we design, experience, and shape our cities. Katrina was named to the BBC’s 100 Women list (2019) for her advocacy for women and girls in urban environments. She is the co-founder of The Women Led Cities Initiative and focuses on direct observation—how people move through space, interact with the built environment, and connect with each other both physically and digitally. One of Katrina’s most striking points is that cities aren’t neutral; they carry implicit biases based on who has historically designed them. Because most urban design has been shaped by men, public spaces often reflect male-centric assumptions about movement, safety, and value. Katrina’s work asks: What happens when we intentionally design cities through a different lens? By understanding cities as habitats for our species, we can rethink urban planning, policy, and design to create cities that truly work for people. Wherever she goes, Katrina observes, questions, and studies human behaviour to better understand how cities shape our lives—and how we can shape them back. When we think of cities as habitats for humanity, they take on a whole new meaning. Would you agree?

Stephanie is joined by Ann Daniels, a record-breaking polar explorer and one of the first women in history to reach both the North and South Poles as part of an all-women expedition team, alongside Caroline Hamilton. With no prior outdoor experience, Ann beat over 200 applicants to earn a place on the historic McVitie’s Penguin Polar Relay, a groundbreaking all-women relay expedition to the North Pole.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

Liuba Grechen Shirley, founder of Vote Mama, political trailblazer, and tireless advocate for working families, talks to us about electing moms and reshaping the future of U.S. politics. Liuba shares how America’s broken childcare system and the lack of paid family leave pushed her to run for Congress in 2018 while raising two young children. From making fundraising calls while nursing her son to attending community meetings after her mother finished teaching for the day, Liuba’s lived experience exposed the structural barriers that keep mothers out of office and inspired her to fight for systemic change. Since launching in 2019, Vote Mama has endorsed more than 600 moms, including 59 candidates for 2026, helping mothers across the country run, win, and lead. In this conversation, Liuba discusses the urgent need for policies like paid family leave, universal childcare, and campaign funds that can be used for childcare and security, essential tools for making public office accessible to parents.

Kemp breaks down how Renewell is transforming idle and unplugged oil wells into gravity-powered energy storage systems, unlocking a massive opportunity hidden beneath North America’s existing infrastructure. Kemp reflects on how the idea began at Stanford University with co-founder Stefan Strickfist, and how their early vision has grown into a company making real progress, including grants from the California State Government and Kern County, as well as new regulatory clarity across three states that is accelerating deployment. With a team of six and their first commercial system already in operation, Renewell is now preparing to build five additional systems while engaging customers, refining the technology, and educating both regulators and industry stakeholders about this powerful, scalable solution. Kemp also discusses the broader implications of repurposing legacy infrastructure for clean energy, why the many unplugged wells across North America represent a once-in-a-generation opportunity, and why pursuing ambitious ideas, even in the face of uncertainty, is essential for meaningful progress.

In this exclusive video interview, Lydia shares her inspiring journey from her early days reading about the iconic auction house Christie’s, to building a successful 23-year career there, training top auctioneering talent, and later stepping into entrepreneurship as CEO of her own talent firm, the Lydia Fenet Agency, a leading agency representing premier charity auctioneers worldwide. Lydia also opens up about her personal philosophy on confidence and empowerment, explaining how self-assurance isn’t something you’re born with; it’s earned by challenging yourself, embracing discomfort, and turning nervous adrenaline into stage-ready energy (yes, even the biggest performers like Bruce Springsteen feel it!). She breaks down real-world strategies for overcoming public speaking fears, mastering the art of silence on stage, commanding attention through intentional pauses, and using powerful self-language to shape how others see you. We discuss Lydia’s collaborative and colourful leadership style, her definition of success rooted in happiness and presence over fame, and how setting boundaries can elevate both family life and career fulfilment. Lydia also reflects on writing her breakout book, The Most Powerful Woman in the Room Is You—a bold claim that started in The New York Times and evolved into a movement.

Far from a “confidence problem,” Stefanie reveals how women often face penalties because they’re ambitious, not despite it. With bylines in Slate, Bloomberg, CNBC, Glamour UK, Newsweek, USA Today, and Business Insider, and as the writer, host, and co-producer of the WEBBY-winning podcast Money Confidential, Stefanie has become a trusted source on work, gender, and the economy. She’s also been featured on ABC World News, Yahoo Finance, CBSN, Fox & Friends, Fox Business, Bloomberg, The Doctors, and more. A graduate of New York University, Stefanie combines data, storytelling, and personal experience to illuminate what still holds women back and what it will take to change it. "Women’s ambition isn’t the problem. The problem is what we do to ambitious women." 📘 About The Ambition Penalty Why haven't decades of “girl power,” empowerment messaging, and record-high educational attainment translated to equal power at work? Why is burnout still skyrocketing for women while the gender pay gap barely moves? Stefanie’s book uncovers the “ambition penalty”—the financial, emotional, and professional costs women face for daring to want more—and dismantles the myths that perpetuate inequality.

Brooks Bell is an entrepreneur, cancer survivor, and advocate for health equity. “5 years ago, I couldn't have predicted that I would spend the second half of my career simply trying to talk people into getting a colonoscopy. But here we are.” Brooks launched Brooks Bell Inc. when AOL was still “the Internet” and A/B testing was nearly a decade ahead of its time. For 16 years, she led her firm and worked with some of the nation’s most recognisable brands, helping them innovate through experimentation and optimisation. In 2011, she co-founded Raleigh Founded, now the city’s largest entrepreneur community, to inspire and support the next generation of founders. But everything changed in 2019. At the age of 38, Brooks was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. After six months of surgery and high-dose chemo, she was fortunate to have caught it in time. Yet she soon realised her story was not unique—colon cancer is far more common than most people realise. Even more importantly, it’s one of the few major cancers that can be proactively prevented through early detection. Today, Brooks has shifted her focus to one of the most challenging yet crucial missions of her life: preventing colon cancer and promoting health equity. She works alongside leading organisations and co-founded Worldclass Clothing, a bold apparel brand that sparks conversations around colonoscopies while funding access to care for underinsured communities. Her message is clear: One in three people already have precancerous polyps by age 45. Don’t wait. Get your colonoscopy as early as possible. Worldclass Clothing: https://www.worldclassclothing.com/

She is a serial entrepreneur for social change, working globally to advance equality, freedom, and justice. With over 30 years of experience as a movement-builder and social justice campaigner, she has played a catalytic role in the global movement to end child marriage. Over the last decade, Mabel helped create and grow three groundbreaking initiatives supporting girls’ futures: ✨ Girls Not Brides: The Global Partnership to End Child Marriage (2011): https://www.girlsnotbrides.org/ ✨ Girls First Fund (2018): https://girlsfirstfund.org/ ✨ VOW for Girls (2018): https://www.vowforgirls.org/ After serving 10 years as Board Chair, Mabel became the Global Champion of Girls Not Brides in 2021, continuing her mission to accelerate worldwide efforts to end child marriage. Mabel’s impact stretches back decades—from founding the European Action Council for Peace in the Balkans (1993) to her leadership roles at Open Society Foundations and as the first CEO of The Elders (2008–2012). She also co-founded War Child (1995), Publish What You Pay (2002), and the Independent Commission on Turkey (2004). Her global leadership has been recognised with honours, including the Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship (2014), the John Diefenbaker Defender of Human Rights and Freedom Award (2014), and the ICRW Champions for Change Award (2015). This SheCan Media interview dives into Mabel’s remarkable journey, her unwavering commitment to girls’ rights and human rights, and her vision for a more equal future. #EndingChildMarriage #SocialChangemaker #MabelvanOranje #SheCanMedia

Join Stephanie and Meggan, a feminist theologian, Wall Street Journal bestselling author, and Harvard-trained master of theological studies (MTS) as well as master of divinity (MDiv) from Union Theological Seminary at Columbia University. In this inspiring interview, Meggan shares her lifelong journey of gathering stories of the Divine Feminine, spanning figures like Mary Magdalene, the Black Madonna, Kali Ma, and Green Tara, and her pilgrimages to sacred sites in Europe in pursuit of spiritual truth. How winning back her body—and daring to fully inhabit it—became central to her spiritual awakening. For Meggan, the body became not an obstacle, but a path to the eternal. The discovery of early Christian texts like The Gospel of Mary Magdalene and Pistis Sophia, where divinity is within us, and women are central figures, and how this revelation reshaped Meggan's understanding of sacredness. Her work as the founder of The House of Mary Magdalene, a spiritual community rooted in radical love, the soul-voice meditation, and the practice of going inward to find our own answers and healing. The meaning behind "getting spiritually naked", a call to courageously reveal our true selves without judgment, shame, or apology Meggan’s deep, provocative, and embodied approach to spirituality invites us to reclaim our inherent sacredness, dissolve barriers between body and soul, and reawaken to a feminist theology that honours our full humanity and divinity. Watch until the end to be guided by Meggan’s wisdom, grounded in scholarship and soul, and walk away with practical insights for living spiritually—and unapologetically—connected to your inner wisdom.

In today's episode of SheCan Media, Stephanie sits down with Joyce to discuss Double Dutch, building a brand from a uni thesis, scaling internationally as a female founder, lessons in leadership, funding, and how they're staying authentic. Born and raised in the Netherlands – the birthplace of gin – the de Haas sisters grew up immersed in the vibrant world of spirits. While at university, they spotted a gap in the market: mixers that truly matched the quality and complexity of high-end spirits. What started as an idea for their Master’s thesis soon turned into a thriving business, backed by seed funding and a bold vision. Since its 2015 launch, the London-based brand has sold 10 million bottles and raised GBP 1.9 million. Their drinks are available in 22 countries and are sold in more than 4,500 outlets, including Michelin star restaurants and luxury hotels, such as The Savoy and Mandarin Oriental, as well as 2,000 supermarkets. Signature flavours like Cucumber & Watermelon and Pomegranate & Basil have made Double Dutch a favourite among mixologists and cocktail lovers alike.

Her work at the interface of gravity, cosmology and particle physics won her the Blavatnik Award for Young Scientists in 2020. She is a tireless campaigner against the underrepresentation of girls in physics and frequently speaks in schools and for other organisations about diversity in the sciences. Her book The Beauty of Falling: A Life in Pursuit of Gravity tells the fascinating personal story of de Rham’s quest to gain intimacy with gravity, to understand both its feeling and fundamental nature. An aspiring astronaut whose opportunity to go into space was unexpectedly snatched away from her, de Rham has instead played with gravity as a diver, a pilot and – above all – an award-winning researcher who, in redirecting her energy towards physics, made a breakthrough at the very frontiers of gravitational science. Her expertise lies at the interface between Quantum Field Theory, Gravity, Gravitational Waves, Cosmology, Particle Physics, Numerical Simulations and Theoretical Mathematical Physics, where she leads the development and test of new models and paradigms to probe the fundamental laws of Nature and uncovers new layers in our understanding of Science. Her research has been ranked among the most impactful in fundamental physics in the past decade, recognised by multiple major grants, prizes, and awards. Among other roles, she is chair of the PPGP theory STFC panel, director of the Abdus Salam Centre for Theoretical Physics, and editor of three scientific journals.

State of Texas. In August 2022, Amanda was denied an abortion when she was 18 weeks pregnant because her fetus had a detectable heartbeat. She went into septic shock twice and was left with a permanently closed fallopian tube due to scar tissue. Subsequently, she filed a suit against the State of Texas, alongside four other women who joined the suit in March 2023. Doctors told her the fetus would not survive. She lives in Texas and was denied an abortion. Following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v Wade two months earlier, the state had banned the procedure except in cases where the patient’s life was at risk. Three days later, she went into septic shock, and with her life in danger, she was finally granted an abortion. In March 2023, Zurawski and 19 other women with similar stories filed a lawsuit against the state - the first case brought by women who were denied abortions since the reversal of Roe v Wade. The Texas Supreme Court rejected the abortion ban challenge. She now vows to continue the fight to “restore and protect reproductive rights in the country”. In November 2024, a documentary movie about Zurawski and her case, Zurawski v Texas, was released in cinemas. The film features Zurawski and others involved in the case, alongside lead attorney Molly Duane of the Center for Reproductive Rights and others. It was co-directed by Maisie Crow and Abbie Perrault. In December 2024, Zurawski was also named one of BBC's 100 Women of 2024.

After being diagnosed with an untreatable brain tumour at the age of 13, she moved to Los Angeles and began pursuing her dreams in film with full force. She gave her first TED Talk at 15, released her bestselling book at 16, spoke at the United Nations at 17, and released her first docu-series at 18. In 2024 she was honoured with a United Nations Global Impact Award. Her most recent book, Seven Thompson & the Art of Remembering, went viral with over 10 million views and hit multiple bestseller lists worldwide.
