On this episode of the Power Of Women podcast Di is enlightened by Melina Cordero who shares her concept around a better way to work. Melina powered up the corporate ladder, a female in a male dominated industry. However, as she moved closer to the upper echelons of management, she realised something just didn’t feel right. She had experienced significant success at a young age, yet with each step forward Melina felt this disconnect, as if she was failing. Breaking away to launch her own business in 2021, she has developed a new digital platform designed to drive inclusion, innovation and leadership in organisations. Joining Di all the way from Mexico City, Melina shares the reasons why she left her job to make yours better.

This week on the Power Of Women podcast, Di connects with Julie Otter, co-Founder of Otter Craft Distilling (OCD) to discuss how she and the business survived the pandemic. Having launched OCD only five months before COVID hit, they were left out in the cold when it came to Government support. Timing is everything and things aren’t always fair and it also appears, are not always equal in business. Julie shares candidly how tough it was and how to stay strong when it feels like the ground is shifting under your feet. She also shares insights around when your team are also your family, and why it is still super important to hold each other accountable. I’m guessing though, that the boardroom bar-fridge is very well stocked.

If you were to ask yourself or friends in your inner circle, do you have visibility to the household finances, what would their answer be? On this episode of the Power Of Women podcast Di gets enlightened by wealth coach, Julia Scott, and if your answer to the aforementioned question is “No”, then you need to listen too. Julia was an Accountant and wealth management expert who trusted her husband to manage their family finances. Just as many of us do, right? Well as it turned out, she was wrong. It wasn’t until her marriage broke down that she discovered her trust was misplaced. She was cut off financially and left living on welfare. Motivated by this experience and putting her professional skills to work, today, Julia is a successful self-made woman, and she has made it her business to help others achieve the same in building their own financial security.

This week on the Power Of Women podcast, Di sits down with self-proclaimed laughaholic, Tracy Bartram. A candid discussion that isn’t always so funny. Tracy shares insights into her childhood and how that shaped her, the rampant sexism she endured as she built her career in radio, television, comedy & music, and the pain & dysfunction she managed despite being in the public eye. Tracy is an open-book and a fabulous example of the commitment it takes to battle one’s demons and the rewards you can reap from putting in the hard yards. It’s a brave narrative about addiction, resilience and finding success. It’s a testament to the human spirit’s capacity for transformation.

This week on the Power Of Women podcast Di spends time with a true powerhouse, Beverley Honig. What is impressive is that Beverley didn’t hesitate to make herself available which is amazing given the many hats she wears; professor of practice, CEO, thought leader, global innovator and renowned entrepreneur. A thought-provoking discussion that shines a light on Beverley’s own narrative: as well as explores her advocacy of ‘women at the table’; a fresh perspective on the ‘glass-ceiling’; explores ‘imposter syndrome’ v. self-fulfilling prophecy; and the distinction between diversity and inclusion. When it comes to inclusion, it is very clear, we have a lot of work to do.
