Brave, Bold & Brilliant Podcast Speaking up unapologetically‪!‬ Tulia Lopes

My guest today, Nicci Stewart, helps her clients to incorporate their sustainability practices into their organisation and individual brand equity.  The process starts with internal stakeholders; attracting and retaining value-aligned talent. Then moves outwards to clients and potential clients.   

Nicci has over 20 years’ experience in communications and brand building, 15 of which were spent focusing on integrated and sustainability reporting and business strategy and growth.  

She is the host a weekly podcast called Nicci Chats to... a platform that gives women the opportunity to share their views and change people's perspectives and broaden their horizons by giving them new insights into different topics.  

And today Nicci talks to me about "The Why Effect", and what were the brave and bold actions she took that built her into becoming brilliant.

In this episode, I (Tulia) go "solo" to talk about a topic that has become one of her signature talks.

This is a big challenge for many. And it will always be because even when you are aware about the way you communicate and how effectively you manage to get your message across, there will be times when you will fail, and you might wonder why...

Well, the primarily reason, in most cases is one, not knowing enough about your audience, therefore, not crafting your message in a way, in a language, that is relevant to them.

And you might ask: "how hard could that be?"

And my answer will be, "knowing your audience and speaking in their language is easier said than done." However, the good news is, it can be learned.

Saying no more, I want to share with you my views on that topic in podcast episode.

I hope you enjoy it and learn from it. And, get back to me and share your views. I want to learn from you too.

It is said that "opportunities don't appear at our door. We have to be at the door and then grab them when they pass by..." 

That is exactly what Rocio did. From being in an unhappy professional situation, instead of going into depression she decided to find ways to move forward. Diversity and Inclusion was at the core of her heart, and she decided to go towards that direction. The rewards were more than she could even imagine, including international recognition for her achievements.

Rocio is part of Fujitsu Global, based in Barcelona. She is known for her gift when dealing with people. She is a competitive person, motivated and always in search of self-improvement. 

She is a Google's #IamRemarkable Facilitator, and a member of the Radar Program (talent search) in Fujitsu.


She is currently starting to pursue a university degree in Computer Engineering.

The truth is, many of our most important decisions in life are made based on... gut feeling! 💯
Do you agree?

My guest in the upcoming Brave, Bold & Brilliant podcast, Mafalda Pereira, is Portuguese, living in the beautiful city of Porto, and describes herself as an entrepreneur, and both a mentor and an avid learner.

One of the big lessons she learned in her 20 years journey as successful entrepreneur is that "sometimes" going against the current is the best way to flow and grow... 🌹

She founded her company  - MULTIvertentes  - at age 23 and has been in the language services industry for almost 20 years, where she has built an international network of business partners and peers.

With an Arts master degree in Languages and Literature, she also completed a post-graduate course in Management and regularly invests in various self-development and business skills trainings.

Alongside her role as managing director, she has been engaged in supporting women leadership skills as a mentor and as a peer group member in different organizations. This year, she was nominated for the Executive Council of Inspired Women Lead, a non-profit international organization that supports women leadership skills by mentoring women cross-culturally.

As a natural networker, she is regularly host to a number of events focused on professional development and market synergy building within her business area.

A book and music lover, her leisure time also includes sharing a good Portuguese wine with friends.
