There are special editions such as the 2020 Virtual Coffee Tour or the Unmistakable series, but also solo episodes where we dive into some of the more common roadblocks you might encounter as a professional woman and what you can do to Find your Voice, Own your Story and Step into your Power.

09/23/22 • 36 min

Are you familiar with the feeling of wanting to make an impact in the world but wonder how to do that with all the constraints on your time?
Do you have a constant feeling of being too busy, too tired, or too drained out to do what you really want?
This sense of urgency and overwhelm is so prevalent these days....but this podcast is about how to reframe the situation, retell our own story. So I wanted to take this conversation to exploring our relationship to time.
How is your time distributed? Who actually owns your time right now? How free do you feel to set boundaries on your time (with yourself and with others)
Why is this important to visibility? Well visibility is something that you do for yourself. It is a courageous act of putting yourself out there and for that, you need time and space.
I hope this episode is the start of a process of reclaiming that most precious asset you have so you can leverage it to make yourself visible on your own terms.

Speaking with Women - Ep. 25 Content that matters for people who care
play

05/06/22 • 25 min

The burning question behind this episode is: What can content do for your career?
Content creates connection, builds trust, and makes you top of mind to those people who can hire you as an employee or buy from you.
But it can't be just any old content. You can't just be adding to the noise. In this episode I use Anna's story to guide us through the why and the how of content creation.
Content that can position you as the go-to person for a certain subject thus changing your career trajectory forever.

Martine writes for La Presse, for the Montreal Gazette and is a contributor to Radio-Canada and the CBC. A member of various boards of directors (Musée d'Art contemporain de Montréal, the Fondation du Pensionnat du Saint-Nom-de-Marie, the KANPE Foundation, The Institute for Research on Public Policy), Martine is also one of the founding members of the Black Opportunity Fund.

Speaking with Women - Ep. 64 How to get on corporate boards with Lesley Antoun
play

06/19/23 • 48 min

In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Lesley Antoun, an accomplished executive, leadership coach, consultant, and speaker. This conversation takes us in an interesting direction with visibility. We look at how to get on a corporate board.

I think all women should start thinking about whether they want to get on a corporate board at some point in their career and start crafting a strategy to do that.
So I am really excited to have Lesley on the podcast to talk about all things board. We go from the very strategic to the very tactical and I am sure you will learn so much from my conversation with Lesley.

With over 25 years of experience in strategic planning, program management, and stakeholder engagement, Lesley has worked with a wide range of organizations, including multinationals, private corporations, governments, First Nations groups, and non-profits.
She's also an active board director and external advisor, alongside running her boutique consulting and coaching practice.

04:43 - Lesley starts us off by doing a land acknowledgment and explaining why this is important to her

09:30 - We then discuss her personal evolution from starting her career as a mechanical engineer and eventually leading her own consulting practice.

13:30 - We dive into her transition into board positions, and the importance of conducting research to understand the available options.

16:23 - Lesley highlights the contrasting dynamics between for-profit and non-profit boards, exploring the unique responsibilities that board directors hold in each setting.

21:56 - She shares how women can prepare for board positions by understanding their specific skillsets, and the skills matrix that the corporate boards need.

30:39 - Lesleys explains the difference between a board CV and a regular resume, and how it can help showcase your qualifications.

32:01 - Lesley gives us an insight into how boardroom conversations unfold and how directors diligently prepare for these crucial discussions.

39:03 - We discuss the drawbacks of pre-wiring within boards and how to foster healthy communication and collaborations.

44:28 - Lesley leaves us with some advice on how to become unapologetically visible by: investing in yourself, embracing opportunities, and persistently pursuing board positions.

For reference:
