    Who's Got Your Back? The Art of Building Your Success Squad Season 5 | Ep. 3

    Send us a text SUMMARY In this illuminating conversation with corporate law powerhouse Heather Barnhouse, we unpack the vital roles that mentorship and networking play in advancing women's careers and leadership journeys.   Mentorship and networking play crucial roles in advancing women's leadership, requiring a diverse "success circle" rather than relying on just one or two connections. HIGHLIGHTS • Understanding the concept of a success circle with nine different supporter types • Recognizing mentorship isn't one-size-fits-all but requires customization • Appreciating the distinction between mentorship (guidance) and sponsorship (advocacy) • Building connections organically rather than forcing formal mentorship relationships • Finding mentors outside your profession who bring fresh perspectives • Learning from difficult relationships what doesn't work for you • Taking a broad view of networking beyond traditional professional settings • Resisting overthinking and starting with "low-hanging fruit" networking opportunities • Asking specific questions rather than making general requests • Making relationship-building a consistent priority, not just an occasional activity Think about what room you'd like to have access to, what you'll do to gain that access, and what one question you'd ask someone in that room.

    When They Say You Can't, Show Them You Will | Season 5 Ep. 4

    Send us a text SUMMARY Commanding Officer Rhonda Blackmore shares her remarkable 29-year journey through the male-dominated field of policing, from frontline work to becoming the leader of F Division in Saskatchewan. Her experiences breaking barriers, navigating bias, and developing a people-first leadership philosophy provide powerful insights for anyone facing challenges in their career advancement. HIGHLIGHTS • Breaking barriers requires both resilience and relationship building • When faced with bias, Blackmore's attitude is "bring it on, I'll show you what I've got" • The importance of distinguishing between mentorship (guidance) and sponsorship (active advocacy) • Women often need to meet 8/10 criteria to apply for jobs while men apply with just 5/10 • Taking chances and stepping outside your comfort zone expands what you're capable of • Feedback is crucial for growth – always ask what you can improve after setbacks • The "Queen Bee Syndrome" can prevent women from supporting each other in leadership • Blackmore's leadership philosophy: "Take care of your people and your career takes care of itself" Remember, as Christopher Robin told Winnie the Pooh, "You're stronger than you seem, braver than you believe, and smarter than you think."

    The Curious Leader: How Education Shapes Women's Leadership Journey

    Send us a text SUMMARY Education and lifelong learning are essential components of effective leadership, shaping careers and enabling leaders to successfully navigate change in complex environments. Continuous learning encompasses much more than formal credentials – it's about developing curiosity, adapting to challenges, and cultivating a mindset dedicated to ongoing growth. HIGHLIGHTS • Embracing discomfort is crucial for growth as a generalist in specialized fields • Balancing technical expertise with leadership requires honest acknowledgment of knowledge gaps • Women leaders often use questioning and collaborative approaches to gather diverse perspectives before decision-making • Listening deeply to others' experiences and perspectives is a powerful yet underrated learning strategy • Transformative learning often happens when we step outside our typical day-to-day experiences Think about one skill, topic or area of leadership that you've been wanting to develop and commit to one small step this month to start learning and growing in that area.
