			<description><![CDATA[<h2>Episode Overview</h2><p><br></p><p>What does it really mean to be the first? The first woman in a role. The first from your background in the room. The first to raise your hand when no one else will. In Episode 2, Abigail Allman and Meena Confait are joined by four SAP professionals who have navigated the unique blend of opportunity, risk, and isolation that comes with being a pioneer in enterprise technology and leadership. This is an honest examination of what being first actually costs, what it demands, and what it creates for those who come after.</p><p><br></p><h2>Guests</h2><p><br></p><p><strong>Ekin Erim Tayali</strong> — Executive Communications Lead, SAP Southern Europe </p><p><strong>Chetna Singh</strong> — Head of Human Resources, EMEA, SAP </p><p><strong>Kathleen Muller</strong> — Global VP, Head of Demand, Corporate &amp; Indirect, SAP </p><p><strong>Mohammed 'Redouane' Khrifi</strong> — SAP Presales Specialist</p><p><br></p><h2>Key Questions Answered</h2><ul><li><strong>What does being "the first" look like in enterprise tech?</strong> Guests share experiences of stepping into spaces with no blueprint — and what they built in its place.</li><li><strong>How do you manage the isolation of being a pioneer?</strong> Being first is rarely celebrated in the moment. The guests explore the quiet weight of navigating environments where you don't see yourself reflected.</li><li><strong>How do you balance opportunity with risk?</strong> From presales to global VP, guests examine how they backed themselves and moved forward without certainty.</li><li><strong>What role do male allies play?</strong> Redouane brings a distinctive perspective on what it means for men in the SAP ecosystem to show up as genuine allies.</li><li><strong>How can organisations support those who are first?</strong> Chetna Singh offers an HR leadership view on making being first less isolating and more sustainable.</li></ul><p><br></p><h2>Core Themes</h2><p><br></p><p>🔹 <strong>The Weight of Being First</strong> — An honour and a burden. Guests reflect on moments with no map and no guarantee of what came next.</p><br><p>🔹 <strong>Isolation as a Hidden Tax</strong> — One of the most common but least discussed experiences of those who break new ground. This episode names it and begins to dismantle it.</p><p>🔹 <strong>Risk as a Career Accelerator</strong> — Every guest took a risk others around them did not. Risk reframed not as recklessness, but as calculated self-belief.</p><br><p>🔹 <strong>Pressure and Identity</strong> — When you are first, the pressure to perform is amplified. Guests explore managing professional expectation alongside personal identity.</p><br><p>🔹 <strong>Creating the Path for Others</strong> — Being first carries responsibility for those who follow. That purpose is what sustains pioneers through difficulty.</p><br><p>🔹 <strong>Male Allyship in Enterprise Tech</strong> — Inclusion is not a conversation for women alone. Redouane's perspective makes that case with clarity and conviction.</p><p><br></p><h2>Why This Matters for SAP Professionals</h2><p><br></p><p>Across the SAP ecosystem — from S/4HANA and presales to HR technology and executive communications — professionals at every level will recognise these experiences. Essential listening for SAP customers, partners, and professionals who understand that diversity is not just a value — it is a performance driver.</p><br><p><em>"Someone's got to be the first. This episode is for everyone who has been that person — and for everyone who can make it easier for the next one."</em></p><br><p><strong>Related:</strong> SAP S/4HANA | Women in ERP | Enterprise Leadership | Presales Careers | HR Leadership EMEA | Male Allyship | Psychological Safety | Inclusive Culture | Career Risk | Executive Communications</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

The first to raise your hand when no one else will. In Episode 2, Abigail Allman and Meena Confait are joined by four SAP professionals who have navigated the unique blend of opportunity, risk, and isolation that comes with being a pioneer in enterprise technology and leadership. This is an honest examination of what being first actually costs, what it demands, and what it creates for those who come after.</p><p><br></p><h2>Guests</h2><p><br></p><p><strong>Ekin Erim Tayali</strong> — Executive Communications Lead, SAP Southern Europe </p><p><strong>Chetna Singh</strong> — Head of Human Resources, EMEA, SAP </p><p><strong>Kathleen Muller</strong> — Global VP, Head of Demand, Corporate &amp; Indirect, SAP </p><p><strong>Mohammed 'Redouane' Khrifi</strong> — SAP Presales Specialist</p><p><br></p><h2>Key Questions Answered</h2><ul><li><strong>What does being "the first" look like in enterprise tech?</strong> Guests share experiences of stepping into spaces with no blueprint — and what they built in its place.</li><li><strong>How do you manage the isolation of being a pioneer?</strong> Being first is rarely celebrated in the moment. The guests explore the quiet weight of navigating environments where you don't see yourself reflected.</li><li><strong>How do you balance opportunity with risk?</strong> From presales to global VP, guests examine how they backed themselves and moved forward without certainty.</li><li><strong>What role do male allies play?</strong> Redouane brings a distinctive perspective on what it means for men in the SAP ecosystem to show up as genuine allies.</li><li><strong>How can organisations support those who are first?</strong> Chetna Singh offers an HR leadership view on making being first less isolating and more sustainable.</li></ul><p><br></p><h2>Core Themes</h2><p><br></p><p>🔹 <strong>The Weight of Being First</strong> — An honour and a burden. Guests reflect on moments with no map and no guarantee of what came next.</p><br><p>🔹 <strong>Isolation as a Hidden Tax</strong> — One of the most common but least discussed experiences of those who break new ground. This episode names it and begins to dismantle it.</p><p>🔹 <strong>Risk as a Career Accelerator</strong> — Every guest took a risk others around them did not. Risk reframed not as recklessness, but as calculated self-belief.</p><br><p>🔹 <strong>Pressure and Identity</strong> — When you are first, the pressure to perform is amplified. Guests explore managing professional expectation alongside personal identity.</p><br><p>🔹 <strong>Creating the Path for Others</strong> — Being first carries responsibility for those who follow. That purpose is what sustains pioneers through difficulty.</p><br><p>🔹 <strong>Male Allyship in Enterprise Tech</strong> — Inclusion is not a conversation for women alone. Redouane's perspective makes that case with clarity and conviction.</p><p><br></p><h2>Why This Matters for SAP Professionals</h2><p><br></p><p>Across the SAP ecosystem — from S/4HANA and presales to HR technology and executive communications — professionals at every level will recognise these experiences. Essential listening for SAP customers, partners, and professionals who understand that diversity is not just a value — it is a performance driver.</p><br><p><em>"Someone's got to be the first. This episode is for everyone who has been that person — and for everyone who can make it easier for the next one."</em></p><br><p><strong>Related:</strong> SAP S/4HANA | Women in ERP | Enterprise Leadership | Presales Careers | HR Leadership EMEA | Male Allyship | Psychological Safety | Inclusive Culture | Career Risk | Executive Communications</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Recorded live from the Next Generation Enterprise Architect Forum at SAP, Newtown Square.

Kayleigh hails from the North East and doesn't mince her words, she advises the panel on her experience in the workplace and her success with therapeutic solutions such as the Havening technique. Kayleigh spends large amounts of time on customer sites across the UK and so she devised a solution to take a piece of home away with her, she bought a camper van.

Now Kayleigh takes her home with her to wherever she may be working and has found a network of other women on the road supporting and keeping each other safe. The panel discuss the trials and tribulations of being a woman in unfamiliar locations and how best to keep safe. This is such a fun episode, a real inspiring, eye opener and you'll probably end up browsing eBay for a vintage VW camper afterwards...<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>On the third episode of series 2, Abi and Steph are joined by SAP Centre of Excellence Manager, Fiona Warburg from Dwr Cymru, Welsh Water. The panel discuss their experience of gender pay disparity and why it is still an unconscious bias within the industry. Fiona tells the panel how she found her path into ERP, following in her fathers footsteps from Accountancy to coding within SAP. They discuss the trials and tribulations of being a minority and the conscious effort Fiona makes to help to improve the diversity within her own organisation and the wider ERP network. The panel explore the importance of the SAP user group and user groups in general. It's clear that strong networks and having the right support in and outside of work are imperative to career consistency and progression and Fiona places a huge importance on people. Being our first female guest working within SAP, Fiona gives her key tips for effective project management within an SAP project setting, moving to Azure and future planning for S/4 Hana. The highly driven Fiona certainly knows her worth, the importance of equality and the value of the team around her. An episode that truly empowers and makes a leap towards positive change and real impact within the ERP industry by calling out inequality. </p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>On the second episode of Series 2, Abi and Steph are joined by senior IFS recruitment consultant, Emily Hunter, from Cubiq. The panel has an in-depth exploration into the world of ERP recruitment, dispelling the myths around recruiters and recruitment. Emily advises how, out of all the candidates she has placed in recent months within ERP, only 20% were women. The women in ERP discuss how we can improve this figure and help promote ERP as a credible career path for young women and girls in order to fill the current skills deficit. We discuss how to get your CV into shape, key search terms to be found for the right roles, and how to be confident enough to step up a rung on a ladder and nail that next interview. An educational episode that really opens up a deeper thought process around how we can attract more female talent into the ERP pool. </p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
