CONCLUDING WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH 2019.
Throughout March we've featured a bonus selection of interviews with women who've become movers and shakers in the accounting, finance and business professional sphere. Episodes every Wednesday as usual with 'Friday Focus' shows for some extra weekend inspiration.
WE DISCUSS:
- Boundaries.
- Making sure staff mindsets are as “nimble and lean” as the company.
- Developing our own 'complexity of mind' by inviting insights and inputs from those around us.
- Challenging our own internal biases.
- Taking an active role in change.
- The strengths that women bring.
- How women are naturally wired to have an adaptive mindset - but how this can sometimes get in the way too.
- The difference between creating a community for the long term, and simply collaborating in the short term.
- Changing our 'self-talk'.
OUR GUESTS:
- pLink CEO and founding partner Gretchen Pisano has worked with many Fortune 50 clients. A Faculty member of the Business Learning Institute, she also serves on the Board of the Frederick County Fraternal Order of Police Spouses’ Association. In addition to her work with senior leaders in many sectors including finance, Gretchen has engaged with leadership in the World Bank and the US military. Connect with her on LinkedIn.
- As COO of pLink, Alexis Robin deploys 12 years as a coach, consultant, and facilitator, and 17 years in the hospitality and meetings industry. Connect with her on LinkedIn.
