TWWork
TWWork
TWWork (formerly 'This Woman's Work') is a multi-faceted career resource and content library, that has interview-based podcasts at its core.
TWWork was set-up to tackle two fundamental problems:
Because fitting into the working world is hard
For lots of us, but especially for (our main/core audience of) women who have made sacrifices for their children/families and when they try to ‘come back’ to work, (too) often find they no longer fit into a career, or indeed a role they once held dear.
But fitting in is a problem that affects not just working mothers... It has never been harder to find, fit into and thrive in the right job, which is madness. But a madness that TWWork wants to help cure.
Because the recruitment system/industry globally is outdated
... and fundamentally restrictive, and it needs a massive shake-up!
Countless talent is going under-utilised, globally, either because it can’t be ‘easily’ or ‘conveniently’ found, or because recruiters only want to look for linear candidates that fit into predetermined boxes.
Or, because more and more AI and tech-based recruitment solutions think they can find the ‘right’ people via data and coding algorithms, which ignore everything special and unique about a person.
This is a human problem and we are going to ‘cure it’ in a human way.

Even though Chops firmly believes Jim & Janet are the best neighbours ever, it's still a bit odd having them on TWWork as podcast guests... Not least because they're retired and long out of the daily grind of working life - right?
Wrong. They know a lot! About life and working life, and even though they're retired, they still have business relationships at play, and are still hugely aware of what's going on in the world. They are well-educated, smart, open-minded people, who have a sincere interest in the world and their community. And their take on human connectivity today vs 'their day' was really interesting to hear.
For a first, 'soft' attempt, with Jim and Janet (to ensure they didn't back out or freak out), we think it went well. Yes multiple bottles of prosecco were consumed, but that's by-the-by.
Please welcome Jim and Janet to TWWork.

In this inspiring chat, Kirsty talks about how she helps deaf people in lessons, to learn; in interviews, to get jobs; but perhaps most prevalently, in healthcare, to deliver diagnosis, advice, and sometimes, very tragic, terminal news to people. It's beyond humbling.
Kirsty also talks about the nuances of signing, and how body language and different signs are needed to portray tone and meaning... It's NOT just hand gestures. Which makes total sense when you think about it.
... The problem is, not many of us do think about it, and if we do, we certainly don't think about it enough.
Please meet Kirsty.

A quick intro (from October 15th 2023) to explain what This Woman's Work is all about and what we're trying to achieve (with your help).
Things have changed somewhat, now that (October 15th 2024) we're TWWork, however, this is how and why it all started.
Many thanks all.

Tash is the founder, the driving force, and the all round beautiful soul behind The Loft; a yoga studio based out of the Rutland Nursery right on Rutland Water. It's an amazing location. Her classes are amazing. And Tash is amazing. It's all amazing.
Please meet Tash.

Darren and Sarah's enthusiasm for the outdoors, and for physical activity - in the fresh air - is contagious. They live and breath what they do.
Although it's clear that Darren is the driving force behind the business, and some might say (Sarah might say), the driving force behind the madness; you quickly realise how much he relies on Sarah as a voice of reason and as his anchor.
They're a fab couple, on a fab mission, to give normal people a fab experience... Which they do, every single time.
With special thanks to Darren & Sarah and everyone at: https://www.forestfacility.com

Kerry's products and her approach are highly sought after. They're beautifully unique and beautifully executed... Hence why she ships them all over the world.
She refused to follow the traditional 'upholstering' path - despite being advised by MANY people to do that - and instead she's carved out her own path, and stayed true to it. And it's now paying dividends, because as well as custom upholstery, she's getting asked for collaborations and home styling advice... and much more.
As Kerry says in the chat, she's worked hard to create a 'brand', and now where that brand takes her is an open road.
Please meet Kerry.

Caroline is a pro in all she does and her overall approach sets her apart. She's a great role model for anyone looking to start a career in the nail tech industry, hence why we made her... forced her (just kidding, she came willingly) to sit down with us.
Please meet Caroline.
** Oh and yes, Chops put her mic too far away from her on this one... Luckily it's Caroline you're actually listening to, and her mic was bob-on. We're still learning on the job, folks, but we're getting there **

Henna gives lots of great advice and intel about the highs and lows of dentistry, and is honest about what was and wasn't 'for her' within the field; but perhaps the most poignant topics covered, were about the current craze for fillers and veneers; and (not only what that fundamentally does to your teeth, but), the fact that any work is final?! Something lots of, particularly young people, don't consider.
... Teeth NEVER grow back, so whatever cosmetic work you do, is done for life. The consequences of it are a lifetime of upkeep, dental bills and... quite frankly... paranoia.
Please meet Henna.

Laura & Andy are just BRILLIANT people inside and out; oozing positivity and 'doing good' as a way of life, not just as a way of doing business. It was a real privilege to spend a couple of hours with them, and as Chops said to them afterwards, she felt like a better person for just spending those two hours with them... That's how impactful they are.
Their coffee business is also brilliant, to the extent that they've outgrown their current premises. What started out as just the two of them, is now seven of them, all working to deliver exceptional products, with exceptional customer service, and underlined with an exceptional ethos and approach to the world.
Good in = Good out.
Please meet Laura and Andy.
