    EP13: Understanding Your Teenager with Tanith Carey

    In this episode of Elevate, host Sue Reeve is joined by Tanith Carey, parenting author, award-winning journalist and one of the UK's most widely read voices on raising children and teenagers. Tanith has written 13 books on parenting and child psychology, translated into 35 languages, and is training as a Gestalt psychotherapist, which gives her approach a depth that goes well beyond the parenting advice you find online. This is the conversation that does not get talked about enough: what happens when your child becomes a teenager and the close relationship you had seems to disappear overnight. It is essential listening for any woman who manages a team brilliantly at work, then comes home and cannot get five minutes with her 15-year-old. Tanith is clear, practical and grounded in neuroscience, and she gives you something you can actually do tonight. What You'll Learn in This Episode: What is really happening in the teenage brain, and why the nervous system matters more than you thinkWhy the skills that make you brilliant at work can backfire at homeHow to regulate yourself first, so a battleground becomes a conversationWhy teenagers spell love T-I-M-E, and simple ways to give itWhat to do tonight if you feel the relationship slipping awayWhy taking responsibility, and even apologising, is a gift to your teenagerConnect with Tanith Carey: Website: www.tanithcarey.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tanith-carey-7596419Her books: What's My Teenager Thinking? and What's My Tween Thinking?, written with clinical psychologist Dr Angharad Rudkin (DK)–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Above and beyond is our normal.

Alice built a successful career as a BBC editor and then a media CEO, before walking away in midlife, moving to Morocco, and becoming a full-time adventurer. In December 2024 she became the first person on record to walk the entire length of Saudi Arabia from north to south: 2,195 kilometres in 112 days, every step on foot. This is a must-listen for anyone sitting on a dream they keep putting off. Alice is funny, honest and wise about what it actually takes to back yourself at a stage of life when most people play it safe, and why the hardest part is simply starting.

    EP11: Maternity, Return & the Motherhood Penalty with Sophie Maunder

    In this episode of Elevate, host Sue Reeve is joined by Sophie Maunder, founder of MATRI Parental Coaching. Sophie spent over two decades in high-pressure communications agencies, reaching CEO level as a single mum of two, before retraining as a coach to fix a gap she had lived herself: talented women leaving not for lack of ambition, but for lack of the right support at the moment they needed it most. It is a candid, practical conversation for any woman navigating maternity leave and the return to work, and for any leader who wants to keep brilliant people rather than watch them go. Sophie shares why the transition back is the point where so many careers stall, what genuine support actually looks like, and the business case that changes the conversation in the boardroom. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why 85% of mothers leave the full-time workforce within three years, and what is really driving itWhat happens in that critical first year back, and why 27% of women do not make it throughThe difference between a maternity policy and genuine support, and why one is not the otherHow the right six months of support transforms retention (one founding client went from 77% to 93%, saving 11 jobs and nine times the investment)The first thing any company can do, for free, to keep the brilliant women they already haveWhy the spring 2027 gender pay gap reporting rules make this urgent nowConnect with Sophie Maunder: Website: www.matricoaching.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sophie-maunder-7b51292–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Above and beyond is our normal.

    EP10: Executive Presence, Confidence & Being Seen with Sarah Brummitt

    In this episode of Elevate, host Sue Reeve is joined by Sarah Brummitt - executive coach, leadership development specialist, and one of only two people in the world to hold the highest level of image consulting qualification in both the UK and the USA.  Sarah makes a deceptively simple case: being excellent at your job isn't the same as being seen as excellent, and closing that gap is what executive presence is really about. It's a must-listen for any high-achieving woman who has ever been talked over, overlooked, or left out of the conversation. Sarah shares how presence can be learned rather than simply inherited (she was once an excruciatingly shy child with a stutter), the difference between commanding attention and demanding it, and practical, repeatable ways to be heard in the room and on screen. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why being excellent at your job isn't the same as being seen as excellentWhat executive presence really is and why it can be learned, not just inheritedHow the most impactful people command attention without ever demanding itWhy your personal brand is simply the best version of the real you - whether or not anyone's watchingHow to be heard in remote meetings, including the art of interrupting with eleganceThe one thing to prepare before your next big meeting.
