Menopause At Work: Boost Self-Confidence And Become Fearless

Menopause At Work: Boost Self-Confidence And Become Fearless
The average age of menopause might be younger than you think? There’s an alarming reason why 1 in 10 menopausal women are leaving their jobs…meaning hundreds of UK organisations are losing incredible talent each year. It’s not because women are simply seeking higher salaries (though that’s a discussion for another time), greater challenges, or a change of environment and leadership… It’s because of an embarrassing lack of knowledge and understanding about menopause symptoms on the employer. Employers, not only aren’t supporting women during menopause, they’re not even talking about it. So when the opportunity came up to sit down with today’s guest to discuss the elephant in the room at work, I saw this as an opportunity to educate us all! Lauren Chiren describes herself as a no-nonsense speaker, trainer and health and business coach who helps people achieve their desires, goals and dreams…while helping businesses maintain the bottom line by retaining their top talent. An inspirational woman and former Senior Executive in Financial Services, she’s an experienced global keynote speaker, podcast host, CEO and founder of Women of Certain Stage - including several other accomplishments to her name. Lauren sits with me today to discuss how her own menopause in the corporate environment, led her to completely reinvent her approach to creating others' success! TOPICS: How it all started/began How workplaces are failing with early menopause support Organisations are LOSING talented people to menopause age (lack of understanding) Building self-confidence, self-esteem, and tackling fears Menopause & mental health (including depression/suicide) Menopause at work & women’s empowerment Keynote speaking experience LAUREN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurenchiren/ https://www.instagram.com/themenopausecoach/ Show Episode Sponsors:
