Join Di & Karen List, Transformational Coach for Women, for a bonus episode of the pod, to expand upon their previous discussion from Episode 8 around change & transition. CHANGE is what happens to us – we have no control over change. TRANSITION is what we do have control over…. as we choose to manage the change. Or to put it bluntly, Change is when shit happens. Transition is what you do next.

We discuss:

💡Confronting change head-on.

💡The risks of not taking action.

💡Where to when self-belief isn’t enough.

💡What do we find so confronting about change.

Ep.14 Dr Desley Lodwick | Your Best Is Yet To Come: Let’s go

by admin | Jul 1, 2024 | Blog, Champion, Entrepreneur, Leader, Transformational Change, Women Over 50

Today on the Power Of Women podcast, Di talks with the inimitable thought leader, Dr Desley Lodwick. The phrase that defines Desley and she lives by is, her best is yet to come. A powerful phrase, and as we age an unbelievably uplifting take on life. This episode is a deep dive into the complexities, chaos and change we face in our personal and professional lives and the importance of trust, respect and self-confidence. We discuss the reality that we are dealing with complexity much of the time within organisations at lower & lower levels, and interestingly, Desley has found people don’t understand the difference between complicated and complex. Historically our jobs were complicated, however nowadays they are not merely complicated but becoming increasingly more complex. There is always a solution for a complication, however it is the complexity that presents us with issues we simply cannot solve. This is true in our personal lives too. It’s not all bad news though when faced with this complexity, as we can make progress that steers us in the direction we want to go. We just have to be willing to change. Desley’s book, Ethically Deviant: An Unconventional Guide for Leaders to Supercharge Progress in Times of Complexity, Chaos & Change is due for release later this year. Great insights from another fabulous female I have had the privilege of talking with on the podcast.

Today on the Power Of Women podcast, Di sits down with Beverley Pinder OAM. Beverley has a unique story of resilience, success, love and the importance of always giving back – ingredients of her own Power. Beverley has captured her story in her inspirational autobiography, “Pride without Prejudice”, and shares that with Di on this episode of the podcast. Beverley’s professional, civic and personal journeys have been anything but smooth. Yet conquering the odds is part of her DNA and her drive and passion permeates throughout our conversation. Beverley’s life’s work has been underpinned by her strong concern for the less fortunate among us and her positivity is inspiring and infectious and a lesson for all of us. As a teenage immigrant Beverley experienced unconditional acceptance and racism. She sought acceptance via charity work and beauty contests, which became the foundation for a lifelong commitment to helping others. Throughout her life Beverley has given back to the community, however and wherever she can. Serving two terms as a politician in local government, she continues as a passionate supporter and advocate for a number of local charities and not-for-profits. Beverley was awarded a Medal of Order of Australia on 26 January 2022 for her contribution to a range of charities. An advocate for women and not afraid to call-out bullies, Beverley’s life story is filled with pointers for younger generations on how to achieve success in any field of life. An exemplar for the power of women.
