    Khayshie Tilak Ramesh on antiracism and changing the conversation

    The first time Kayshie Tilak Ramesh experienced racism was in year three. Later, despite being born in Griffith, NSW and raised in Bendigo, VIC, when she was the multicultural youth commissioner she was asked to share her refugee story. Now, she’s changing systems, one conversation at a time. In this conversation, Khayshie will share her recent experiences representing Australia at the United Nations Commission on the Status of women, how workplaces represent our greatest opportunity for systemic change, and we’ll dig into conversations about meaningful antiracism. Khayshie’s resume is impressive - Senior Industry Fellow with RMIT FORWARD: The Centre for Future Skills and Workforce Transformation Multicultural Youth Commissioner of Victoria Inaugural Youth Mayor of the City of Greater Bendigo, Young Citizen of the Year, Law Student of the Year, Premier’s Volunteer Leadership Award and Victorian Multicultural Award for Excellence for Service to the Victorian Community Now, she runs her own consultancy, alongside a number of board and committee positions.

  2. Louise Baxter on the power of positivity at the Starlight Foundation

    Louise Baxter on the power of positivity at the Starlight Foundation

    Louise Baxter had a very successful career in advertising, when she hit a moment of truth, and realised she wanted to do something more meaningful with her life. Fast forward, and Louise has now been CEO of Starlight Foundation for 16 years, proving through action (and results) that a culture of positivity doesn’t just feel good — it drives every business metric that matters. Under her leadership, Starlight has topped the AFR’s MOST INNOVATIVE COMPANIES list, landed in the Top 20 Great Places to Work, and built a workplace so relentlessly positive that one team member confessed she kept waiting for the façade to drop… four years later, she’s still waiting. Louise also knows the juggle — she’s a mum, a leader, and someone who’s managed to balance impact, ambition, and the everyday chaos of real life. This is a conversation about values, leadership, workplace culture, and the kind of optimism that’s less about slogans and more about systems that actually work.

    Sophie McCarthy on financial independence and confidence through action

    Sophie McCarthy had some big shoes to fill. Her mother Wendy has been at the forefront of feminist activism for decades, and Sophie picked up the mantle and is making her own huge impact on gender equality. As CEO of McCarthy mentoring, Sophie partners with leading companies to design programs that drive change, engage people and develop leaders. With her upbringing, it’s no surprise that Sophie participates in her own advocacy work, As Chair of Sydney Community Foundation, she helps support the most vulnerable women in Sydney, giving a voice to women who don’t get heard. Sophie’s passionate about doing work that actually makes a difference, and breaking down barriers that prevent equality.

    Leonora Risse: Beyond leaning in

    In Apolitical’s list of 100 Most Influential People in Gender Policy, you find Jacinda Ardern, former PM of NZ, and you also find today’s guest Dr. Leonora Risse. Leonora is an economist who specialises in gender equality. Her focus is women in the workforce, gender pay gaps, why there aren’t more women in leadership, societal norms that see women doing the majority of care work, gender biases and resistance to equality initiatives. And she VERY much believes that we need to fix the system, NOT the women. With a PhD focused on paid maternity leave in Australia, she is co-founder of the Women in Economics Network in Australia, a Research Fellow with the Women and Public Policy Program at Harvard University, and a Research Fellow with the Women’s Leadership Institute Australia. She’s one of the most passionate advocates for gender equality I’ve had the privilege to chat with. I hope you enjoy this episode with Dr Leonora Risse!

    Claire Harvey on why we work (when it’s so hard)

    Claire Harvey has opinions. But as Editorial director of The Australian she’s also very good at waiting to hear what you think. With an interest in journalism that started at her parents dining table piled high with newspapers, and the radio and TV news on, she’s gone from copy girl working for free to her current role.  Now, she has two kids, leaves work loudly to support mothers and parents following behind her, and has a husband with an equally big career as political staffer.  So she knows what it means to find balance, and she knows the compromises it takes to manage having a big career and a family.  She hosts a daily podcast from the Australian called The Front, 12-minute explorations into a story a day, and when she took her current role, that itself made the news.  I’m so excited to hear about what it takes to manage a family while having a career driven by passion and hard work, and I hope you enjoy the show!

    Libby Lyons: The gender super gap and taking risks in your career

    If you look at Apolitical’s 100 Most Influential People Working in Gender Policy for 2018 and 2019 you find Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Michelle Obama, the United Nations High Cmomissioner for Human Rights and first female president of Chile, Michelle Bachelet… and today’s guest Libby Lyons. Libby started her career as a teacher, working her way all the way to Director of the workplace gender equality agency, to now Chair of SAGE – Science in Australia gender equity, and is a hugely influential Australian woman.  She was featured in the book 200 Women, was awarded Woman of the Decade for Gender Policy by Women Economic Forum in 2019 and has presented multiple times at the United Nations’ Commission on the Status of Women. She’s positive, high energy, has done it all raising a son in a time when there was no paid parental leave, and a woman after my own heart, has been quoted, “you’ve just got to have a party because you never know when it’s your last one.” Living in the moment, whilst driving lasting change, I’m honoured to have the opportunity to speak with Libby, and hope you enjoy the episode.

    Annika Freyer: Men as Allies

    I asked ChatGPT, and it told me that men still hold 70-80% of formal positions of power, across most domains, globally. And because of that very power imbalance, women can’t achieve equality on our own. We need men to be involved, and to use the power our current systems grant them, to  shift things. And that’s exactly what Champions of Change Coalition do, led by today’s guest, CEO Annika Freyer. The Coalition aims to achieve gender equality, advance more and diverse women into leadership, and build respectful and inclusive workplaces. But as we know here at Women at Work, you can’t increase women’s representation without shifting the systems. It’s not about fixing the women.   Annika was appointed as the inaugural CEO of the Champions of Change Coalition in 2016, and has grown the coalition from its Founding Group of 10 CEOs to more than 250 members. And she’s done that while getting herself to Barry’s bootcamp at 5am every morning, and raising two young daughters. I really enjoyed this fun, candid chat with Annika, and I hope you do, too!
