  1. Navigating end of year, parties, burnout and showing up for self.

    ٢٣‏/١١‏/٢٠٢٤

    Navigating end of year, parties, burnout and showing up for self.

    Rose and Gems chat about end of year expectations and how to show up for yourself.  Amidst the workplace events, parties and last minute flurry of "all the things", there are norms and social expectations that don't always make us feel our best selves. In this episode, we share some ways workplaces can design their end of year celebrations and activities thoughtfully and importantly, how you can navigate the so-called silly season.  From intentional design, boundaries (and how to stick to them and not just think about them) to opting out of things that don't serve your wellbeing. Join us as we share our insights and offer up a few of our own examples to give you something to experiment with as you aim to stay well as 2024 comes to a close.

    The Power of Multi-Generational Learning

    Today's guest is Brent McAlister who joins us to talk about the power of multi-generational learning.  Brent is many things to many people, a parent, CEO, goal-keeper and community legend amongst many other things. Brent has worn many hats in his life to date including a proud parent to five young women (including co-host Rose), an innovative strategist and currently, a CEO who boasts an award-winning track record in transforming communities through innovative, pioneering approaches. In this podcast, we explore mental health and accessing therapy, the power of multi-generational mentoring, leveraging spontaneous volunteering in times of crisis and why it’s important to be a lifelong learner.  It’s not often you get to hear the heart, soul, mind and depth of stories from an accomplished leader, dad and community advocate like Brent so sit back and enjoy this episode.  Content warning: this episode touches on stories of mental health and suicide and we advise listeners to take care and tune out if this may be triggering.

    How do we make workplaces IVF/fertility friendly?

    Our guest is Karen Monjo who has held many roles including as an entrepreneur and is currently a specialist recruiter. This episode focuses on Karen’s journey to her role as a mum. It talks about IVF, fertility, and birthing and therefore we advise listeners to tune in with care as we appreciate these topics are uniquely experienced by each person and may be triggering. Karen, Rose, and Gems explore how the workplace and fellow workers can support colleagues experiencing IVF and navigating fertility options. Karen talks about her journey to parenthood and how she balances being a working mum to two little ones. As she is often deep in the juggling act that a working mum brings, she acknowledges her gratitude for having a strong support network both in my professional and personal life. We hope this episode helps create a better world of work for everyone, especially those navigating becoming parents and accessing fertility services whilst being employed.

  6. Lets get unprofessional talking about professionalism

    Lets get unprofessional talking about professionalism

    We are joined by the amazing Bexx (she/her) to explore the concept of professionalism. Bexx is a Māori/Ghanian queer woman residing in Naarm. Currently working in the arts and community industry, she has gone through all types of jobs. Including retail, event producer and youth work. Outside of this, she has an arts practice of video editing as well as visual projection art. She is a firm advocate for land back, First Nations led initiatives and community support starts from the ground up.  This episode also explores how different workplace environments adopt different standards of what's ok and what isn't. We also talk about accepting different communication styles and not wasting time coding our emails to meet an ambiguous, often unsaid, so-called-professional expectation level.  Who gets to decide what is unprofessional or professional and who benefits from the  standards set by leaders, those in positions of power and employers? Lets discuss!
