from Shameless Leadership · host Sara Dean
Delphine Carter is the Founder and CEO of Boulo Solutions, a career matching service that helps women stay in and return to the workforce. Boulo has now helped over 1,000 women and has generated over $1M in revenue. Delphine was able to fund Boulo’s $500,000 seed stage while working and raising children during the pandemic. I asked Delphine to join me on the show because of the massive shift we are seeing around moms and the workplace right now. Millions of moms have left the workforce in the last year. Many millions more have had to navigate new terms of working from home or working in other creative ways during the pandemic. We are at a critical time for moms in the workplace. There is the chance to totally renegotiate what work looks like for everyone and moms are poised to work in more flexible ways than ever before. Delphine is helping make that happen. Listen in to hear Delphine share: Her realization that “I could not be whole without my work” How she helps genius moms get seen professionally How Boulo helps moms qualify themselves for jobs that are a perfect fit for their specific needs Why Boulo only works with companies that create flexible working environments for moms and dads How forward-thinking managers need to shift expectations around goals vs time invested on a job or task The benefits of having moms in C Suite position The significance of empathy in corporate culture The challenges around childcare post pandemic when 40% of childcare centers nationwide have closed and what is open is ridiculously expensive The exact conversation you can have with your employer to ask for a more flexible schedule Why we must erase the phrase “just a mom” from all vernacular Links mentioned: Help us help you by filling out the Shameless Summer Survey Connect with Delphine: Boulo Solutions Connect with Delphine on LinkedIn Connect with Delphine on Facebook Connect with Delphine in Instagram Thank you to our sponsor: Talkspace: To match with your perfect therapist for a fraction of the price of traditional therapy, go to talkspace.com, Make sure to use the code SHAMELESS to get $100 off your first month and show your support for the show.
