    S1 EP9: Discussing Imposter Syndrome with Trisha Barker, Imposter Syndrome Coach.

    Today’s episode is going to be different from my normal career journey interviews. I will be discussing the topic of Imposter Syndrome. ‘Imposter Syndrome’ is when an individual doubts their skills, talents or accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a "fraud". I wanted to record a podcast on this Imposter Syndrome as most of us (especially but not limited women) experience Imposter Syndrome at some point in our careers. This can affect your mental health, confidence and how you progress in your career. For example, 28% of women feel like imposter syndrome has stopped them speaking in a meeting and 26% have failed to change career or pursue a new job because of it. I think it’s important to bring awareness to the subject to let people know they are not alone, it’s a very common feeling and it’s important to recognise it and manage it. In this episode, I’m joined by Trisha Barker, Imposter Syndrome Coach where she shares her view on the topic and some ways you can manage it.

    S1 EP6: Mimi Koné - Founder Mimi et Mina Hair Salon. Always look for a new challenge.

    My guest today is Mimi Koné. Mimi is the founder of Mimi et Mina, a luxury hair salon that seeks to empower women and create an environment where clients from all backgrounds and cultures are welcomed. Whilst working Mimi often became frustrated with the lack of customer service and quality experience she received in salons, she worked hard and knew she deserved better. As an ambitious person, looking for a new challenge she knew this would be the perfect one - she left her job, friends and life in Switzerland and moved to London to start her luxury hair salon Mimi et Mina. Mimi has so much positive energy and is a true go-getter. What she has created from nothing in 5 years is so inspiring and her passion for women and empowering others is evident through everything she does. I spent the morning with Mimi at her beautiful salon in Notting Hill talking about all things career - there may be a phone call or two and a cheeky coffee break - but it was inspiring and lots of fun getting to record and hear Mimi’s story - I hope you enjoy it.

    S1 EP5: Charlotte Cox - Founder FLY LDN Yoga Studio. Setting up a yoga studio as a non yogi.

    Charlotte Cox is the founder of FLY LDN, a boutique yoga and fitness studio in the City of London. FLY’s objective is to widen the appeal of yoga and create a ‘non-yogi’ market that attracts boutique fitness customers to low impact exercise. As a lawyer, Charlotte turned to fitness to manage stress, when a friend recommended Yoga she noticed the classes often left her feeling self conscious, confused and reluctant to return. She found there was a complete lack of classes that accommodated beginner and entry level students. When she became aware that she was not the only one feeling this way she toyed with the idea of setting up her own boutique studio for non-yogis and so the journey of FLY LDN began. In this interview Charlotte and I talk about her career journey of setting up FLY LDN and the importance of building a career around your natural skill set.

    Introduction: What's this podcast about?

    Hey everyone and welcome to the #CareerGoals Podcast. My name is Adelé Walsh and in each episode I interview incredible women on how they crafted their amazing careers. We talk about their challenges, learnings and switching industries all in the hopes of inspiring our listeners. I also dive into  specific career topics such as Imposter Syndrome in special bonus episodes. So why did I start this podcast? Earlier this year I was made redundant which after much panic, set me on a journey of career re-discovery and evaluating what I was truly interested in. In search of inspiration, I wanted to hear about the career paths of women with careers I admired and lift the lid on what it takes to achieve ultimate career goals. I also wanted to share these stories with others in the hopes to inspire and motivate them in their own career journeys. Most episodes are recorded remotely during lockdown via Zoom. Thank you to all the women involved in creating this podcast and I hope you, as listeners, find these stories just as inspiring as I did!
