Women Entrepreneurs: Working Differences withMargaret HeffernanWelcome to Women in the Work Place Mini Series, where we uncover the hidden truths behind women-led businesses and the remarkable impact they have on the economy. Margaret Heffernan — author, entrepreneur, and passionate advocate for women's leadership and business innovation."My journey took me from radio and television into the tech world, where I embraced the freedom of entrepreneurship. But it wasn’t until I wrote my first book on women’s corporate careers that I stumbled upon astonishing data: in the U.S., women-owned businesses tend to be more successful, employ more people, and last longer than the average business.""What shocked me most wasn’t just the data — it was the silence surrounding it. Why weren’t these achievements celebrated? Why had no one ever mentioned this incredible track record? The data only came to light because a group of powerful women fought to prove that women-led companies aren’t confined to stereotypes like nail salons and cookie shops. They’re diverse, resilient, and driving real change".In this podcast, we shine a light on these hidden stories, challenge assumptions, and celebrate the women redefining what it means to be a business leader.Come and Join the conversation and become a friend of the Project >>CLICK Here<<< Or find out more about Margaret Heffernan >>CLICK<<

🎙️ Welcome to the Final Episode Happy Work Space with Sue Higgs 🎙️Hello, I’m Sue Higgs, and welcome to the final episode of this podcast series. Over the past few episodes, we’ve tackled the joys, the challenges, and the realities of working in the creative industries. And today, we’re ending on a crucial and uplifting note—how to foster a happy, healthy workplace.If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my years as an Executive Creative Director, it’s that a company’s culture starts at the top. A great workplace isn’t about flashy perks or trendy office spaces—it’s about leadership that prioritizes people over ego, clarity over jargon, and collaboration over hierarchy. When leaders communicate with humility, humour, and honesty, they create an environment where everyone—regardless of title—feels valued, heard, and empowered to do their best work.So, in this episode, we’re going to break it down:✅ What makes a great leadership culture? Why the best workplaces have leaders who listen, show up, and genuinely care about their teams.✅ How to spot red flags early. Whether you're starting a new job or re-evaluating your current one, how do you tell if a company is truly invested in its people?✅ The role of psychological safety. When employees feel safe to voice their ideas, take risks, and even fail without fear of retribution, creativity thrives.✅ Jargon vs. Real Talk. Why buzzwords and corporate speak can be exclusionary and how clear, human communication builds trust.✅ Staying close to the work. As creatives, moving up the career ladder often means stepping away from the work itself—so how do we balance leadership with staying creatively engaged?If today’s topic resonates with you, here are some fantastic books, talks, and resources to help you create or find a workplace that truly supports its people:🎤 Brené Brown’s TED Talk on Vulnerability & Leadership 📘 “The Fearless Organization” by Amy Edmondson – A deep dive into how psychological safety fuels innovation and success.🌍 The Happy Workplace Index (Search online for the latest rankings) – A resource to check out companies that prioritise employee well-being.So as we wrap up this final episode, my challenge to you is this: How can you contribute to making your workplace a happier, healthier space? Whether you’re in a leadership position or just starting out, the way we show up, listen, and support each other matters.Thank you so much for joining me on this podcast journey—it’s been an absolute pleasure sharing these conversations with you. Keep striving for workplaces that bring out the best in people.

The Truth About Women’s Equality: Bridging the Gender Divide with Margaret HeffernanThis is the first episode in a three-part series with Margaret Heffernan, exploring the intricate connections between gender dynamics and workplace equality. Across the series, we’ll dive into the critical relationship between home life and professional success, the remarkable achievements of women-led businesses, and the complexities of collaboration between men and women.Women in the Work Place Series, that unpacks the complexities of working together and challenges assumptions about gender dynamics in teamwork.I'm Margaret Heffernan — author, entrepreneur, and passionate observer of what makes collaboration succeed or fail. Collaboration is often seen as a simple concept — just work together, right?But the reality can be far more challenging. Many people have experienced teamwork that feels slow, uncoordinated, and full of conflict, where progress stalls and frustration builds. One common belief is that women are naturally better at collaboration than men. Is that really true?Research shows that women tend to score higher on empathy-related tests, like the "Reading the Mind in the Eyes" test, which measures how attuned we are to others' thoughts and feelings. Could this explain the perceived difference in collaboration styles? Or is there more to the story?In this episode, we’ll dive into what makes collaboration work — and what holds it back — while exploring the roles empathy, communication, and gender play in creating successful teams.Let’s start the conversation.Come and read more about Margaret's amazing life>>CLICK<<Join the conversation and Become a Friend of the Women Change Maker's Project>>Here's Where<<

🎙️ Welcome to Episode Five Understanding Bad Behaviour in the office Environment with Sue Higgs 🎙️Hello, I’m Sue Higgs, an Executive Creative Director, and in today’s episode, we’re diving into a topic that’s both deeply personal and universally relevant—bad behaviour in the workplace.After more than 30 years in the creative industries, I’ve seen it all—acts of kindness, moments of brilliance, and unfortunately, some truly toxic behavior. Today, I want to share one of my own experiences—an incredibly difficult period in my career when I was bullied, sidelined, and isolated by someone who, quite frankly, saw me as a threat. At the time, we didn’t have the language of Me Too or Time’s Up, and like so many others, I internalized the experience, thinking it was somehow my fault. Spoiler alert: It never is.But while this was one of the hardest times in my career, it also came with powerful lessons—lessons about self-worth, resilience, and the importance of calling out toxic behavior. In this episode, I’ll talk about how to recognize bad behaviour, how to protect yourself, and most importantly, how to reclaim your power.If you’ve ever felt minimised, overlooked, or made to doubt yourself at work—this one’s for you. Let’s shine a light on bad behavior and make sure it can no longer hide in the shadows.Let’s get into it.Hi dear listeners! We need your support to continue bringing you inspiring content.

Episode 6: Dame Caroline HaslettThe daughter of a Sussex railway worker, Caroline Haslett had a narrow upbringing and little formal education. But a combination of natural intelligence, iron will and diplomatic charm – along with good fortune – led her to become, through the magic of engineering, the most prominent businesswoman of her age. Caroline was motivated by a determination to relieve women from domestic drudgery – and thereby free them to pursue careers outside the home – by replacing manual labour with mechanical devices. Starting as an apprentice boiler-maker, she became first secretary of the Women’s Engineering Society and, later, founder and first director of the Electrical Association for Women. Energetic networking and excellent management skills, which won the admiration of all who met her, took Caroline to the peak of her profession, recognised in 1947 with her admission to the Central Electricity Authority as its first female member – and, for her role advising the government on women’s labour during the Second World War, the award of a damehood.Henrietta Heald is the author of Magnificent Women and Their Revolutionary Machines (Unbound, 2021). Her other books include William Armstrong, Magician of the North (McNidder & Grace, 2012), which was shortlisted for two literary prizes.--------------------------------------------Empowering Change: Celebrating Women Championing EqualityWe are thrilled to invite you to be a part of an inspiring journey with our exhibition project that shines a spotlight on the incredible women who are breaking barriers and championing equality.

Episode 2: Rachel Parsons Born in 1885, Rachel Parsons was a woman of ‘firsts’, breaking the boundaries of Edwardian convention. Scientific and technological genius ran in her family, and in 1910 she became the first woman to study engineering at Cambridge University. Her pioneering career continued during the Great War, when she was appointed a director of an engineering firm in Newcastle upon Tyne, then the powerhouse of British industry. Responsible for supervising the largely female workforce, she later joined the Ministry of Munitions and trained women around the country. In 1919, Rachel and her mother founded the Women’s Engineering Society to champion female workers in industry. To advance the cause, Rachel entered politics, winning a seat on the London County Council and standing for Parliament. But – regarded as a ‘difficult’ woman – her ambitions were thwarted, and her life ended in dramatic tragedy.

In this captivating episode, we’ll explore the echoes of prehistoric beliefs through the eyes of scholars like Anne Marie de Rincourt and Elaine Morgan, who illuminate the magical reverence early humans had for female power and the profound mysteries of creation. How did the Earth Mother, once revered as the source of life, become overshadowed by the archetype of the wise old man? What revolutionary ideas did Darwin introduce that challenged centuries of patriarchal narratives?

Self Knowledge and Reality Mapping 🎙️ Welcome to *Feminine Minds*, where we delve deep into the intricate tapestry of our thoughts, emotions, and experiences. This is Episode 4, and today, Madelyn Freeman is taking a fascinating journey into the realm of self-knowledge—the work that empowers us to understand the complex machinery of our minds. Download Our Reality Mapping Guide Have you ever marvelled at the sheer complexity of your own consciousness? Imagine this: your mind isn’t just a simple vessel of thoughts; it’s a dynamic interplay of conscious awareness, subconscious whispers, and an unconscious network of ancestral memories embedded in the very fabric of your DNA. Our limbic system, that emotional powerhouse, shapes our reactions and memories while responding to life's stresses with a primal fight-or-flight instinct. But wait—there's more! The brilliant prefrontal neocortex is here to save the day, allowing us to process thoughts rationally and navigate our feelings with finesse. And as if that weren’t enough, we’re also wired with mirroring neurons, effortlessly reflecting the emotions and experiences of those around us. Ever found yourself laughing when someone else does? That’s the magic of connection at play!  But how do we make sense of this intricate web? Enter the wisdom of Carl Jung, who illuminated the paths of individual cognition through his ground-breaking work on personality types. Today, we'll explore how understanding our unique processing styles—whether we lean towards thinking, feeling, sensation, or intuition—can empower us to navigate our inner landscapes with clarity and purpose. 🌈💡 So, join me as we embark on this enlightening exploration of self-knowledge, where we’ll uncover the secrets of our minds and learn how to harness their power for personal growth.

Episode 1: After the War Introducing the extraordinary individuals who came together in Britain after the Great War with a mission to transform the lives of working women. In 1919 they set up the world’s first professional organisation to fight for equal employment rights: the Women’s Engineering Society. The trailblazers featured in this series are Rachel Parsons, Margaret Rhondda, Laura Annie Willson, Margaret Partridge and Caroline Haslett. In 1918, the battle for the female franchise had been partly won. Women were making progress in medicine, the civil service and the law – but, although more than a million had served in the wartime munitions factories, and made a vital contribution to the Allied victory, the doors of industry were slammed shut against female engineers. The Women’s Engineering Society set out to change all that. Rachel Parsons, its founding president, articulated a rallying cry that still resonates today: ‘Women have won their political independence. Now is the time for them to achieve their economic freedom too.’ A Guide for Women Pursuing a Career in Engineering Women engineers play a vital role in the field by contributing unique viewpoints and abilities that foster innovative solutions to pressing global issues.
