From Breast Cancer to Delivering a Mission to Help Women Succeed
My guest today is Chloe Richards, a brave and strong breast cancer survivor emerging from a period of loss and change. She is refocusing her business to deliver her mission to help women succeed in the workplace.
We talk about
- How women struggle to describe their value in the workforce.
- How it's important to take the time to reflect on your success and find the words to do this in a way that feels authentic.
- Creating behavioural diversity in the workplace so people can communicate in a way that resonates with them.
- Celebrating differences helps people to fulfil their potential and bring value in different ways.
- Taking the time to step back and be clear about what you won't tolerate builds resilience.
- Redundancy and striking out on your own.
- The experience of a breast cancer diagnosis.
- Dealing with loss and change and strengthening of purpose
- Being fearless. Being stripped back but brave enough to seek the light and move forward.
- Seeking help, trusting others and mentally dealing with both loss and illness.
- Reflecting on values and developing a mission to help women succeed so they can effect change at work, making life better for everyone.
