S2, Ep3 - The Social Worker, Natasha Langleben - Making an Impact on this world

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, Ep5 - The Tech Entrepeneur, Larissa Holmes - Supporting Women

How many underrepresented women work for your organisation?


It's a known fact that diversity and equality in the workplace helps business to thrive, but it takes a conscious effort to ensure these women are seen, hired and supported. My incredible guest this week Larissa Holmes has dedicated her high powered career so far across two notable tech businesses, and now her own start up Coterie to help lead growth for women. Her passion and 'why' behind it all comes from a deeply personal place, and the result of her drive and dedication has some outstanding results.
