This episode is all about neurodiversity and always with special subjects, Rachel and Jo have a friend joining them.

If you look Taylor Handsley up on LinkedIn, she’ll tell you she’s a mom and she’s autistic but alongside that she was one of the original team at Refinery29 in New York, worked for Amazon in London as Head of Content on their Private Labels before moving to Amsterdam with Edelman and Hey Honey.

She’s a guru of all things content and social and is now expanding her own business, Tailored the Agency.

Having been diagnosed in her 30’s, Taylor talks us through her experience working within the creative world and how life would be so much easier if we all came with a crib sheet. She also gives some pointers about how to interview neurodiverse people and make the world a more harmonious place.

Welcome to The Atelier where we workshop your work life, brought to you by Talent Atelier, the Executive Search business where we essentially act as a dating agency between businesses and people.

This is a guide about how to be a better Ally to LGBTQIA+ people in the workplace. We’ve got the brilliant Allegra Haines (proud trans woman, activist and owner of talent agency, The Booking Project) joining us on the couch to help navigate the way.

Together we cover topics such as; how employers can help their transitioning employees, how to be supportive of your LGBTQIA+ colleagues all year round (not just in June) and why it's common for creative companies to assume allyship without putting in the work needed.

This episode is all about being assertive in the best way possible in the work place.

Leadership isn’t easy and it’s something we’re often learning on the job, so sometimes finding the balance between being the fun approachable manager vs the boss that everyone listens to can be lost. Over the 30 minutes Rachel and Jo aim to tackle some of the big questions around assertiveness in the workplace such as; how do I assert myself in meetings? How do I deal with an intergenerational team? What’s the best way to reposition myself when my team think I’m an aggressive leader + more.
