Pearl Top Tip: You are more than enough

Fri, 08 Jan 2021 01:00:00 GMT

Dr Pearl Jarrett Reminded us that we were more than enough, however, we don't always feel that way.

Amy and Becky discuss how to overcome our negative self-talk and find our own uniqueness and how to build the courage to uncover the diamond that is you.

When you are reflecting on a situation we would like you to try writing two lists:

1. What went well?
2. What could be even better?

Let us know how that worked for you by sending us a message on Instagram, facebook or twitter.

If you are struggling to be confident in your own opinions:

Start writing some lists:

1. What is your favourite film/music/food etc
2. What excites you?
3. What gets you fired up?

Pearl Jarrett: No-one can beat you at being you

Thu, 07 Jan 2021 11:00:00 GMT

Welcome to season 2 of MindStyling. We have freshened up our look and we are starting 2021 with an interview to get you happy

Dr Pearl Jarrett is a Multi-Award winning Disruptive Changemaker and she is the Founder and Group CEO of The Jarrett Foundation.

In 2005 Pearl was diagnosed with Cancer. After winning the fight of her life, she decided to draw up a “Bucket List” of all the things she’s ever wanted to do, but either talked herself out of it or allowed others to talk her out of it. She decided that as she had been given a second chance, this was her opportunity to change the world.

Since then Pearl has been going down the list and achieving everything on her bucket list, she tells us more in this interview.

Pearl talks about

Being uniquely you
Playing to your strengths
Overcoming those voices in your head that talk you out of doing what you want to do
How sticking to your core values can lead to big opportunities.

Mon, 30 Nov 2020 01:00:00 GMT

She keeps a wall of Post Its to remind her of her own top tips and motivational quotes including:

✴️ Done is better than perfect
✴️ Everyone online is lazy

Joyann Boyce: Where's the benefit to you that this company's included diversity and inclusion?

Mon, 23 Nov 2020 01:00:00 GMT

If you are loving the MindStyling Podcast don't forget to rate, review, subscribe and share.

Today's guest is Joyann Boyce an Inclusive Marketing Consultant and Founder of The Social Detail. The company works with SMEs within the technology sector to maximise their impact through social media. The Social Detail has worked with a range of organisations including the Coke GB, Adobe XD, SETsquared and Future Space. In her three years of running the agency, Joyann has placed data & inclusion at the heart of her approach to marketing, from idea to creation to reviewing and consumption.

Joyann is a fierce advocate for diversity and inclusion within marketing and tech. Seeing a gap in the stock photo market, she partnered with the SHIFT project to create a portfolio of diverse stock photography. The project was featured on the BBC.

She is currently a Data Fellow with the South West Creative Technology Network, researching how bias within data can be positively used to benefit marginalised groups. The fellowship is allowing her to connect her two passions for data and diversity by exploring the depths of data and machine learning. Her research shows that when dealing with AI, the primary focus has been on trying to eliminate any bias in it. Instead, she believes we can learn more about creating unbiased machines by flipping the bias in favour of marginalized groups and then comparing the outcomes.

We discussed: ⁠
💫 The Role that technology plays in exclusion and how we can turn it on it's head to create inclusion.
💫 Why it is important to understand your own biases and be transparent about the biases that you have
💫 Taking care of Mental Health

Jaya Top Tips: You Are Not Alone

Mon, 02 Nov 2020 01:00:00 GMT

If we are ambitious and we want to see a positive change in the world, we must remember that we are not alone. There are whole networks of people that you can work with to create the future that you want to see.

THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE, YOU CAN FIND YOUR TRIBE!

What if your current tribe is not one that you have a value-connection with? How do we remove toxic people:

Be conscious of your current situation - what do you need/want to change?
Set your boundaries to protect yourself
It is not healthy for anyone if you are in a "rescuer position"

Becky and Amy share their experiences of value networks and how we build them.

We discuss the challenge of building collaborative networks and how to overcome the fear of others who have the same goal. The common win-loose mentality of an entrepreprenuer can often work against us, collaboration and partnership is powerful when you have an alignment of purpose.

Char Top Tips: Don't Die with the Fire Inside

Mon, 19 Oct 2020 00:00:00 GMT

Char Lawrence's top tip is enough to get any of us up and moving.

I think that we all know what it is to feel energy bubbling up inside, a desire to do something. Char says when you feel, just do it.

Are you ready to satisfy that drive? What gets in the way of you acting on your desires?

We answer the question, how do you tap into the passion, purpose, and ambition? Sometimes we have that fire but we don't know how to satisfy it or act on it.

Sometimes your drive can get in the way of acting for your passion and purpose and send you off down a path that is based on somebody else's idea of success and gets in the

Maybe your purpose isn't about what you are going to do. Maybe it is about waking up, listening to yourself, and being your best self at that moment, on that day.

What matters most to you today?

Char Lawrence: Slow down and love the ones you love

Mon, 12 Oct 2020 00:00:00 GMT

Char Lawrence, founder of the Mogul Minded Group and N9ne cosmetics spoke to us about how her incredibly popular magazine, The Mogul Minded Magazine, was born from her frustrations about not being able to get positive stories from the BAME community into the mainstream media.

She discusses how all her businesses began organically to address the needs that she had, from the hair care products created from her own natural hair journey, which was triggered by a comment from her daughter; to the events business that was set up due to the inaccessibility of other networking events.

The conversation included:

How she has managed through 2020, reflecting on her growth and her frustrations
How she is telling positive stories focused on people in the BAME community
How faith doesn't have to mean the same as following a specific religion, but how having faith has helped her on her journey
Positive mindset
Being a do-er and how this helps her to keep pushing forward.

Emily Top Tip: Do something physical to reset your mind

Mon, 05 Oct 2020 00:00:00 GMT

When your mind is running around in circles how do you stop it? How do you get out of your head?

Emily does something physical to stop her ever-whirring mind. For her, it can be anything, including taking a sledgehammer to her wall or putting up a shelf.

Becky has used exercise "almost like breathing" as a survival mechanism to switch off her mind and uses it as a buffer from work to bed.

Amy has to exercise before mid-day and she loves to walk.

What challenges do you come across when you are trying to find something physical to do.

Nat Top Tip: Define yourself in more than one way

Mon, 24 Aug 2020 00:00:00 GMT

Nat's top tip is one that we have found to be very important. When you are an entrepreneur or very driven by your work it can be very easy to put your whole self into it and to make your work your identity. That works fine when everything is going perfectly but it means that you can get very swept up in the ups and downs leading to mental health challenges and burnout. Having more than one priority can act as an anchor in a storm.

Amy and Becky discuss how this tip has worked for them and the methods they use to break down different areas of their life to help each one thrive.

Mon, 10 Aug 2020 00:00:00 GMT

Katie Donovan-Adekanmbi: It’s bigger than paying the bills…. It’s rooted in purpose for me.

Mon, 03 Aug 2020 00:00:00 GMT

Katie Donovan-Adekanmbi was due to launch her new business BCohCo in April 2020, then COVID struck and everything changed. Katie talks about how she used it as a time to learn and grow. Very quickly what had seemed to be a huge challenge for the business became a perfect storm for collective learning, giving the business more opportunities.

BCohCo, stands for building cohesive communities and it provides learning, development and Consultation in: DICE

Diversity
Inclusion
Cohesion
Equality

BCohCo works across the 9 protected characteristics, however, due to the Black Lives Matter movement, their customers are currently mostly concerned about their inclusion in relation to ethnicity, that is where people currently want to develop skills. Katie talks about how we develop skills and how learning and development can be transferred from the workplace to home and across the 9 protected characteristics.

Jess Top Tips: Find someone who will call you out

Mon, 27 Jul 2020 00:00:00 GMT

Jess' Top Tip is to find people who will call you out, whether that be friends or mentors. In Jess' case she needs someone when she is getting too "hyperactive". The key point is to develop relationships that are honest and not always putting rose tinted glasses on your scenario. This is something that takes time.

"You nurture a friendship then you can be honest, and mentors are very similar." Jess Saumarez

Becky and Amy discuss their experiences and give you insights on how to build your support system.

Contact Amy and Becky if you would like to find out about coaching.

Jess Saumarez: Find me in a field and that is probably my happy place

Mon, 20 Jul 2020 00:00:00 GMT

Jess Saumarez, is a co-founder of Hedira and a serial entrepreneur. She has been in the start up space since leaving University.

We talk to Jess about how she's a "flyer" not a "fighter" under stress. We ask her how she has successfully found a co-founder and mentors (clue: she has never had to ask for mentors). She has a pragmatic approach to entrepreneurship, which we have learnt a lot from and we hope you do too.

SPOILER: just like Zara, Jess gets mistaken for a waitress at investor events. The issue is not with the women - it is with the conscious and unconscious bias in the industry.

Top Tip: The game isn’t over until the buzzer goes off.

Mon, 13 Jul 2020 00:00:00 GMT

We discuss Shivani's top tip: Which uses her favourite basketball analogy

"The game isn't over until the buzzer goes off"

So if you are determined to reach your goal and you are still in your game then keep going.

We also get under our own skin and look at how we respond to stress. Becky talks about being "dopamine" triggered and how. that can be a bit scary because the feeling of adrenaline makes her "flighty". Amy gives some tips.

Don't forget, the tips will not work in the same way for everyone. Let us know what works for you.

Shivani Lamba: Keeping your mind where your hands are

Mon, 06 Jul 2020 00:00:00 GMT

Shivani Lamba, Founder, Brightlobe, was born in Sweden to Indian parents, moved to London then the States. By a very young age she was coding, then researching at the National Institute of Health at age 16. She attributes this to knowing at an early age that it was up to her "to make a life for herself".

Whilst working at the NIH, Shivani became interested in the long term impact of children being out of school, after a long journey the ideas around this become the educational games that she creates with the team at Brightlobe.

She discusses biohacking, optimising her physical and mental health and why she is remaining positive about the impacts of students being out of school due to COVID-19.

Top Tip: What's the worst that can happen?

Mon, 29 Jun 2020 03:00:00 GMT

Zara Nanu, CEO Gapsquare, told us that when she is facing barrier's or waining confidence she asks herself "what's the worst that can happen?". Is this something that works for us? Not always and not in all situations. Sometimes it is a great thing to ask yourself and can be the boost you need to move forward.

Dr Becky Sage and Amy Armstrong discuss if it works for them, and their clients, what the alternatives are and how we can create confidence for ourselves, whether it is for meeting with investors, big clients, presentations & performances, working with your team or dealing with challenges at home.

Zara Part 2: Go Big or Go Home

Mon, 29 Jun 2020 02:00:00 GMT

Zara Nanu, CEO of Gapsquare, has had her fair share of challenges, especially when it comes to finding investment as a woman. So her team have allowed the saying "Go Big or Go Home" to become a rallying call (even though it started as a joke).

In this episode we discuss the issues around the lack of diversity in tech, especially when it comes to building AI and some cringeworthy situations Zara has found herself in as a woman trying to get money from a predominantly male investment community.

Finally Zara shares her tip for staying resilient. Why don't you try it for yourself.

Zara Nanu Part 1: I'm a very laissez faire type of person

Mon, 29 Jun 2020 02:00:00 GMT

When Zara Nanu, CEO of Gapsquare had children everything changed. Where there had been no barriers suddenly there were barriers.

Gapsquare was born from the question: is there a way to overcome those barriers together? As groups of women? Using technology and data to inform us of the disparity and to show us when improvements are made?

There is a fine balance to be had between going for her own dreams and being there for her children. Being in a start up is not exactly the easiest route to make change!

There is also a balance to be had between business development and technology. She explains how she overcomes the catch 22 of needing business to fund the product and having a product that is ready to sell.

In part one Zara introduces us to her vision and mission, the way she works with her team and the way she parents.

How was MindStyling born?

Mon, 29 Jun 2020 00:00:00 GMT

In the summer of 2018 Dr Becky Sage, CEO Interactive Scientific and Amy Armstrong, her award winning clinical hypnotherapist and leadership coach had the same idea at the same time: Let's use podcasting as a way to tell stories of a diverse group of entrepreneurs and give our community of entrepreneurs the tips and techniques that help us to stay confident and resilient. We recognised that we were still hearing the story of "Superhero CEO's" usually white, cis, straight, men even though we were surrounded by a peer group with inherent and acquired diversity with a range of stories to tell.

When we were shortlisted for the BBC Radio 5 Rachael Bland podcasting award we record a background and now we are sharing with you.
