S2, Ep3 - The Social Worker, Natasha Langleben - Making an Impact on this world
06/27/23 • 47 min
If you look in 5 years time at a newspaper headline about you, what would you want it to say? Natasha used this question as her catalyst to change her career direction to something more meaningful.
Now I feel like lots of people strive to make an impact on this world and serve others, but Natasha is someone who truly has and she’s only just getting started. Her primary role is a social work manager specialising in care leavers and adolescent safeguarding, and she currently holds the position as the local authority contextual safeguarding lead. As if that’s not enough, she is also the COO and Co-founder of Two Generations - a start up facilitating inter generational home shares across the Uk where someone older or with a disability who would otherwise be alone, gets to live with someone younger for companionship and help around the house. Before this she founded numerous charities and social enterprises, noteably a charity for Chrones disease raising almost £1m, which also lead to her publishing a book on Amazon and winning the award for cosmopolitan women of the year. Somehow in all of this, she is also a wonderful mother of two children including just a 7 month old.
Hear her inspiring story.

S2, Ep2 - The Award Winning Researcher, Christine Armstrong - How to make work, work for you.
Has your job ever felt too much, that you’ve wanted to just walk out and quit?
Christine Armstrong did exactly that, with two kids, mounting childcare costs and a mortgage! It just got too much to juggle it all. That act of despair eventually lead her down an amazing new career path - working out, how to make work, work.
Christine is, in her words, obsessed with research into the world of work. She writes, speaks and vlogs on what the trends and data tell us is and isn’t working, from new models of leadership to what 'flexibility' and 'work life balance' really means. She was recently named 6th out of the top 50 Future of Work Influencers in the world. Her personal experience became the catalyst to her writing her book ‘The Mother of All Jobs: How to Have Children and a Career and Stay Sane(ish)’, published by Bloomsbury. The book is based on six years of interviews with working parents, employers, leadership experts and carers and was a finalist in the Business Book UK awards 2019. Surely no one is more qualified than Christine to talk on this subject? I'm sure you’ll agree that she has a superpower in communicating her research and data in a way that is totally captivating. Every business deserves a Christine to help transform it!
This episode she shares her wisdom and amazing story.
