Welcome to Business in Heels! Today, we’re shining a spotlight on Dare to Rise: A Collection of Courage from Eight Remarkable Women with two extraordinary authors, Terri Wilby and Baishakhi Connor.

Terri, a breathwork practitioner and rapid transformational therapist, has lived a life few can imagine—40 years in a monastic community before stepping into a new purpose: helping women over 50 reclaim their power. Her chapter, A Breath of Life: Memoir of Resilience and Transformation, is a moving testament to healing and reinvention.

Baishakhi, a seasoned corporate executive and mentor, opens up about the struggle of rediscovering herself beyond her career. In Love, Loss, and New Beginnings, she shares a deeply personal journey of navigating change, overcoming heartbreak, and leaning on the power of community.

Their stories are raw, inspiring, and filled with hard-won wisdom. Stay with us as we hear firsthand how they found courage in the face of uncertainty. And if you’re ready for more, grab your copy of Dare to Rise and connect with Terri and Baishakhi on LinkedIn!

I am thrilled to bring you the latest episode of the Business in Heels Podcast: “How to Win the War on Talent”. This episode features an enlightening conversation with the insightful Chandell Labbozzetta, a best-selling author and leadership strategist.

We’ll talk about transformational versus transactional leadership, highlighting the importance of self-awareness, quality questions, and collaborative empowerment in building high-performing teams. They discuss the significance of psychological safety, transparent career pathways, and continuous personal and professional growth.

Chandell also offers valuable insights into leveraging fulfillment, purpose, and emotional connections to attract and retain top talent across all generations.

Join us as we explore the dynamics of effective leadership and how to inspire the leaders of tomorrow.

Here are 3 key takeaways from this powerful episode:

• Self-Leadership as the Foundation: Chandell underscores that leading oneself effectively is the key to influencing others and achieving transactional success. This starts with self-respect and asking quality questions to take ownership.
• Transformative Delegation: Adopting the “see 1, do 1, teach 1” method can significantly improve delegation and coaching within teams. This approach ensures that team members are not just handed tasks but are empowered and trained to achieve their goals.
• Creating Psychological Safety: Building a workplace culture that fosters trust, engagement, and psychological safety is crucial. This environment allows employees to grow without fear of reprimands for mistakes, leading to increased productivity and innovation.

Hey go-getters! Welcome back to another episode of Business in Heels where we empower women to conquer the corporate world.

Today, we’re tackling a critical issue that hits close to home for many of us: the persistent gender pay gap. But instead of just raising awareness, we’re diving into actionable steps to bridge this gap once and for all.

Joining me today is a powerhouse guest, Bianca Hartge-Hazelman. Bianca’s not just an award-winning champion for gender equity – she’s the brains behind Financi and a LinkedIn top voice on the topic. She’s bringing a wealth of knowledge and actionable insights to help us drive real change, not just in Australia, but globally.

We’ll be dissecting the latest advancements and setbacks in the fight for equality. We’ll explore the often-overlooked role of unpaid labor in the pay gap equation and see how companies are (or aren’t) addressing this issue.

But here’s the best part: Bianca’s going to break down how both individuals and businesses can step up. We’ll talk about using data to make informed decisions, leveraging technology for workplace accountability, and most importantly, moving beyond awareness to real action.

Grab your headphones and join the conversation with Bianca Hartge-Hazelman, right here on Business in Heels!

Here are the key takeaways:

1. Current Landscape: Despite social and regulatory progress in Australia, we’re seeing a reversal in gender equality gains due to an increase in the unpaid work gap.
2.  Organizational Action: Industries and businesses must intensify their efforts with concrete actions and policies, especially in male-dominated fields and senior management roles.
3. Individual Empowerment: Use available data to make informed career decisions and engage employers in conversations about equality, flexibility, and policies that affect your work-life balance.
