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.

Tanya has just returned after 4 months out bush in the Roper River region, about 300km SE of Katherine in Arnhem Land.

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.

Welcome to the very first episode of the Power Of Women podcast. We are only just getting started to power your week as we celebrate & showcase the strength, resilience & achievements of women from all walks of life. Di is joined by former radio host Brigitte Duclos who shares a raw story many of us have faced in our work life – redundancy. A pivotal moment she didn’t see coming. A change that required self-reflection, resilience and inner strength to recalibrate & move forward.
