Welcome!

International Women’s Day is upon us this week and this year’s theme is focused on inspiring inclusion.

According to the IWD website “When we inspire others to understand and value women’s inclusion, we forge a better world. And when women themselves are inspired to be included, there’s a sense of belonging, relevance and empowerment.”

Whilst it’s great that we celebrate International Women’s Day and the progress made, I believe that it is just as important for us to reflect on the challenges that persist for women in achieving a sense of inclusion within workplaces.

After all, it is one thing to feel inspired through these conversations and another to turn these initiatives into practical applications that truly support women to feel a sense of belonging and value in their workplace.

And to do this, we need to start by addressing the foundational and fundamental challenge that women are facing which is the silent epidemic of burnout.

I believe it’s important to consider the role that diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging play within organisations in fostering a better sense of wellbeing for women which, in turn, results in increased retention rates and performance.

In this week’s episode, we’ll explore the relationship between burnout and inclusion.

I address why burnout is not just a matter of personal well-being, but a crucial step towards fostering a more inclusive workplace and society for women.

In particular, I dive into the 3 reasons why we need to look at burnout if we’re to inspire inclusion for women in the workplace.

This week on the podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Nassim to hear more about her journey from high flying corporate lawyer to starting her own professional home organising business, right here in Hong Kong where she and her team help busy professionals streamline and organise their physical spaces whilst create calm and ease in their mental spaces.

I asked Nassim on the podcast because her story of how she navigated her transition from litigation and international arbitration to reassessing her direction to found her own business, is a wonderful example of how to navigate a career transition for yourself.

All of our paths will be different but I hope you enjoy Nassim’s candid telling of her journey and how she discovered her path to aligned achievement.

Career Clarity

Do you have a difficult boss? Or have you had one before?

A challenging relationship with your boss can lead to you questioning your career decisions or looking for a way out when you actually love your job and are really good at it.

It’s also one of the biggest challenges in the workplace that leads to burnout.

It’s not easy to be in the position of having a difficult boss whether it’s because they’re micromanaging, communicating poorly or highly critical and whilst you can’t control them or their behaviour there are things within your control that can make all the difference.
