Who am I?

As a certified Executive Coach and passionate storyteller and podcaster I believe in constantly looking for resources to improve everyone’s lives. Storytelling, diversity and inclusion, clean and sustainable living, charity and self help tools and techniques really motivate me. As a former journalist and now Coming Out coach all these issues matter the most to me.

My Show

What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?

You know how they always say live and learn after the fact? I chose to create my podcast to flip that notion on its head and given this post pandemic world give listeners more to be hopeful about as well as to learn new ideas, tools and techniques to thrive.

What is my podcast playlist about?

My podcast playlist is an amalgamation of great interviews and stories of courage and resilience. You can also find great ideas around sustainability, diversity and inclusion and giving back to society.

Welcome to Season 6 with me Shivraj Parshad. As a Coach, Mentor and Media educator, this becomes a powerful medium for me to speak to you about events, ideas and people who left a profound impact on me and therefore can make a world of difference to you. I was recently asked to re-examine my 50 years of life on earth, as a perfectly written novel. What I discovered was mind blowing. With each passing phase of my life, certain gifts in terms of knowledge and strengths made me learn a lot more about myself, which I feel compelled to pass on. Over the next few episodes, I will be either talking to you about or interviewing folks whose insights and collective wisdom will definitely give you more to learn as you listen along. And if for some reason you need that safe and trusted space to fully explore and unlock your own potential. I’m always here for you. Just write to me on [email protected] or search for me across social media to block my time to just talk. Since learning is also about listening, I would love to hear from you. This podcast is all about it's listeners, we want you to throw your hat in the ring. Who do you think has a compelling story to tell? What irks you? What inspires you?

2. Word to the W.I.S.E. #whystandardsmatter

Why this podcast?

For women in science and engineering or any woman leader looking to step in to innovate with standards and processes that govern our everyday lives. This is a critical podcast, for without diverse perspectives and one size fits all only white cis het men benefit. The two seasons introduce you to courageous and really innovative women.

Play first episode

Welcome to the Word to the W.I.S.E... Why Standards Matter! A podcast series brought to you by UL Standards & Engagement. In the first season we featured remarkable women who used their careers in science and engineering to create a safer, more secure and sustainable future. This season we shift our focus to gender in the development of safety standards. Why safety standards? Standards touch almost every aspect of our lives. They are a set of requirements for how products and systems must perform or are made to instil safety, security and sustainability. Standards can facilitate trade, reduce costs and support innovation. As one guest from Season 1 eloquently put it – a standard is a common language. Regardless of which company manufactures a product or in what country, it will be tested to the same core requirements found in a standard. So, the next time you see hazmat suits fit snugly on men but not women, ask yourself how we can come together to update safety standards to equally address the needs of all genders. Gender equality is one of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs. Yet, in a world in which half the population is women, and many are leaders in the fields of science, engineering, and innovation, only 10% of standards development experts are women. Through Word to the W.I.S.E. We aim to have those conversations, build awareness, and explore future strategies to increase women’s participation in the development of both standards and technical regulation. We will also explore examples of international standards that are truly gender responsive. Remember, you too can have your say. Just use the #whystandardsmatter across social media and pose questions for us on The Word to the W.I.S.E. podcast. And we will try to address those in future episodes. Don’t forget to subscribe, rate and like us on any of your favourite podcast platforms!
