In the Power Done Differently podcast (formally Tell It Like It Is), you’ll meet powerful, passionate women from around the world who are doing power differently. From politicians to artists, entrepreneurs to c-suiters, anti-capitalists to actual royalty, this is no echo-chamber. We explore big things, speak candidly and hold space for disagreement. We laugh with each other and we learn from each other. Because power doesn’t have to corrupt us. It can connect us. It can change everything for the better. And I want you to know that you’re powerful, too. New conversations drop every Tuesday.

    Florence Bavanandan on Finding Your Voice, Holding Space, and Commanding Attention with Authenticity

    Do you ever struggle to feel heard in the boardroom? Do you want to use your voice to make a positive change? Well, you're in the right place.  Join me as I sit down with Florence Bavanandan, a classically trained soprano and vocal coach, turned podcaster, and entrepreneur as we talk about finding your voice through what she's learned in both the performing and the business worlds. Doing power differently starts with speaking differently, and as Founder of Clear Voice Consulting, Florence is working to address the wider conversation surrounding women speaking up, feeling heard, and retaining their authenticity while doing so. In the episode, we delve into the importance of advocating for yourself, why women speaking up is only solving half the problem of getting a more inclusive workplace, and Florence’s own journey from farm girl, to a classical singer, to an entrepreneur. Florence also discusses the value of having difficult conversations despite not finding common ground, and why the pressure of making a career out of your passion isn't always a good idea.  About Florence Bavanandan: Florence is a classically trained opera soprano who, having performed at the Royal Albert Hall, and Alexandra Palace, alongside touring Europe and Asia, doing studio work for the BBC and Channel 4, and recording at Abbey Road Studios, is now using the skills she learned to use her voice and hold space on stage to help women speak up and make changes in the boardroom. A former Course Manager at the National Youth Choirs of Great Britain and Guest Lecturer at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance, Florence now works as a VC associate and Founder of Clear Voice Consulting, where she’s worked with HSBC, The Prince’s Trust, and Apple to build more inclusive working cultures for female leaders. She also hosts the Clear Voice Podcast “where successful women speak about how they found their voices and are using them for change”,  filling in some of the gaps left in many discussions surrounding female “empowerment.” Real, relatable, or downright wrong?

    Wera Hobhouse MP on Protecting the Values of Open Society and Liberal Democracy in Parliament

    Brought to you in partnership with 50:50 Parliament, I’m joined this week by Wera Hobhouse MP, the Liberal Democrat Shadow Leader of the House of Commons and Spokesperson for Energy and Climate Change and Transport as we delve into the importance of championing an open society in Parliament. In the episode, Wera reflects on how her upbringing in post-war Germany helped shape her commitment to protecting the values of liberal democracy, flaws and all, and why you need to defend these from the centre. We explore her passion for protecting the environment, how serving in local government influenced her approach as an MP, and how a backbench MP in the minority can influence legislation. Wera also opens up about the firsthand bloodbath of crossing the political aisle, and her memories of the night the Berlin Wall came down, so settle in, and get ready to listen as we explore the life and career of one of the Liberal Democrats rising stars.  *** Please note at the time of the interview Wera was Spokesperson for Justice, Women, and Inequalities, and is referred to as such in the intro for the episode.*** About Wera Hobhouse: A committed pro-European and environmentalist, Wera is the Liberal Democrat MP for Bath. She was born in Hanover, West Germany where her passion for politics started with the anti-nuclear movement. She moved to the UK in 1990 after meeting her husband shortly before the fall of the Berlin Wall, becoming a teacher and local council member in Rochdale, first for the Conservative party, before defecting to the Liberal Democrats over her opposition to the development of 650 homes on contaminated land at a former asbestos factory. In 2014, she moved to Bath and stood against Jacob Rees-Mogg in the 2015 general election, before going on to be successfully elected in 2017. As an MP, Wera’s achievements have included helping more than 15,000 constituents with casework, making up-skirting a criminal offense in England, the successful campaign to re-establish a public-facing police station, and fighting for better mental health services and strengthening protections for domestic abuse survivors.

    Lu Li on What the Startup Ecosystem Would Look Like if it Hadn't Been Invented by Tech Bros in Silicon Valley

    Do you ever feel like your life is all about achieving what other people expect of you, ticking boxes to get ahead in a corporate career that, while others are excited… you’re not? Have you thought about launching your own business, but felt startup culture wasn't inclusive enough? Well, you’re not alone. My guest this week has been there, done that, and wrote the book on it! Joining me is Lu Li, Founder of Blooming Founders, aka the ‘Wikipedia of startup content’ and Author of Dear Female Founder. In the episode, we look at how Lu is redefining the UK’s startup ecosystem away from Silicon Valley wannabe tech bros, and towards a better, more inclusive, community-driven model. We also explore Lu’s resilience in the face of challenge, how in March 2020, after delivering 150 events, almost 3 years of workspace operations, and building a community of 6000+ members, the COVID-19 pandemic forced her to shut everything down, before pivoting and coming back even stronger. Throughout the episode, Lu shares her advice on bootstrapping your business, making business more human, changing investor culture, and why there has never been as much potential capital in the hands of women as there is now.  This is an episode I can't wait to share with you! About Lu Li: Lu Li is a serial entrepreneur and business consultant with interests in web3 and NFTs. She is the founder of Blooming Founders, the ‘Wikipedia of startup content’, an award-winning company with a mission to make the startup journey easier for founders by helping them expand their network, provide practical business education, and by facilitating access to investors.

Anne and I explore what Women2Win does to help women candidates, what she’s learned from a lifetime in Parliament, and the pride she feels for her family’s role in achieving women’s suffrage in the UK. She'll also share her thoughts on imposter syndrome as a Baroness and why women don't talk about their health enough. So grab your popcorn because we're about to dive into a real-deal conversation about empowering women in politics!

    50:50 Parliament's Frances Scott on Building a Better, More Gender-Balanced Democracy

    Joining me for the first of a very special new sub-series looking at getting more women elected to power across the UK is Frances Scott, the driving force behind 50:50 Parliament, an organization dedicated to increasing the number of women in parliament. In this episode, Frances shares the mission and vision of 50:50 and how her daughter's election to school council opened her eyes to the lack of representation for women in leadership roles. She explores how that representation for women isn't just limited to politics - it's an issue that affects us in all areas of life - and shares her thoughts on what needs to be in place for women to thrive in leadership roles - representation, resources, responsibility, and respect. Tune in to hear more about how 50:50 is working to create a more equal and representative government for all. About Frances Scott: Frances launched 50:50 Parliament in 2013 with the 50:50 Change.org petition, and in 2016 started the "Ask Her To Stand" campaign to inspire and support women in running for Westminster. Since then, she has been working to help women get selected and elected across all political parties. Before entering the world of political activism, Frances had a  background in operations and marketing, having worked in the hotel and tourism industry. In addition, she also taught antenatal classes and sat on the Maternity Services Liaison Committee of Mary's Hospital Paddington. In 2018, she was named one of the Evening Standard's #Progress1000 most influential political change-makers, while in both 2020 and 2021, she was included in the list of Women in Westminster: The 100, which celebrates the achievements of women who are shaking things up and challenging policymaking in Westminster.

    Elizabeth Lesser on the Power of Women's Storytelling and Speaking Truth to Power

    To kick off a new season, I’m joined by one of my personal heroes, Elizabeth Lesser as we dive into the power of women's storytelling and the modern woman's fight for agency. In this episode, Elizabeth delves into her book "Cassandra Speaks," the #MeToo movement, and her own journey toward claiming her power. We discuss the fear of being disliked for speaking up and the importance of being true to oneself, even if it means making waves and ruffling some feathers. Elizabeth shares the lessons she learned from Brené Brown about the difference between being nice and being kind, and why being clear and upfront is often the most compassionate choice. Get ready to be inspired by Elizabeth's wisdom and experiences as a woman leader, author, and activist. About Elizabeth Lesser: Elizabeth Lesser is a bestselling author and co-founder of the Omega Institute, a conference and retreat center in Rhinebeck, New York. She's the brains behind books like "The Seeker's Guide," "Broken Open," and "Marrow," and her latest release, "Cassandra Speaks," empowers women to trust their instincts and tell new guiding stories. Elizabeth co-founded the Omega Institute in 1977, which has since become a leader in holistic education, offering a wide range of workshops and training programs. She's also the co-founder of the Women's Leadership Center, which grew out of the popular Women & Power conference series. Each year, over 30,000 people participate in the Institute's programs on its campus and travel sites, and more than a million people visit the website for online learning.

  8. Joy Morrissey MP on Finding the Middle Ground After Brexit and Why It’s Time to Make Politics Boring Again.

    27/04/2021

    Joy Morrissey MP on Finding the Middle Ground After Brexit and Why It’s Time to Make Politics Boring Again.

    For my last episode of the season, I’m joined by my fellow American in London: Joy Morrissey. Joy is the Member of Parliament for Beaconsfield and currently serves as Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. I wanted to talk to Joy in part because she has such an incredible story. She’s only the third American-born female MP in UK history, the first to enter Parliament after a general election, and the first to hold a seat in over 80 years. At the 2019 election, Joy unseated Dominic Grieve, the former UK Attorney General who had held the seat for two decades. I also wanted to understand what being a Conservative meant in a post-Brexit context and so that’s exactly what I did. We delve into how she first got involved in politics and why, despite voting Leave in 2016, she once thought she’d be working for the European Commission. We explore healthcare inequality in the US, the rise of nationalism and finding the middle ground in divided political cultures, how women are carrying the uneven burden of child-care in the pandemic, and why it’s well worth time we make politics boring again (along with many other topics along the way). Delivering balanced and intelligent answers to some really quite probing questions, and proving that you can disagree without being disagreeable, Joy is exactly the type of elected official we need more of. So until I see you all again in September with another batch of good troublemakers doing power differently, stay brave, stay kind and stay powerful. You can change everything for the better.
