Diary of a CLO Thrive

In this episode, I’m joined by Jenny Muhlwa, a Leadership Consultant and Coach, and the creator of the world's first open programme for women to understand how they can lean into their strengths and show up effectively depending on what stage of their hormone cycle they are in. Being able to communicate effectively about what will work best for you, and planning your work life around your hormonal cycle is still a surprisingly novel conversation in today’s workplace. Listen in to hear us chat about how Jenny is changing this, and gain insight into how she is on a mission to empower all women at work. Enjoy.

Lee Chambers is an inspiration to many. As a black, autistic, disabled person he has faced his fair share of prejudice and discrimination and has oftentimes throughout his life been told that he won’t succeed. Determined to prove people wrong he became a successful entrepreneur. But whilst he was recovering from an unexpected hospitalisation due to a debilitating autoimmune condition, he moved from successful entrepreneur to stay-at-home-dad to active ally as his eyes opened to the hardships faced by women. We dig into all of that in this episode. Enjoy.

In this conversation, we dig into all of that, and also uncover why goal setting should be hard and the cost involved in achieving your ambitions. Enjoy.
