Career, Family, Leadership & Life | Disrupt Radio Interview with Poppy Griffiths

Entrepreneur Her by Disrupt Radio definitely shakes things up. An Australian first with Moana Hope that’s helping to reimagine and rewrite the rules for #WomenInBusiness.

Mo unapologetically likes to take the conversation wherever it goes, and kept me on my toes earlier this week as we talked about harnessing #ambition and #potential. I always enjoy our conversations because both of us prefer to focus less on gender divide, and more on what we can be doing to support one another’s career, family, leadership and life ambitions.

The truth is some things men can be better at doing when it comes to getting ahead in our careers, and some things women can be better at doing. The opportunity comes in how we can better support each other.

Some snippet takeaways from our conversation…

“How to help harness your own ambitions and potential, and to support others you might lead or work with harness theirs?”

1️⃣ ASK FOR PROMOTIONS. Say your ambitions out loud. Don’t ask, don’t get.  And if you lead others ask where people want to be in 12 months and how you can support them.

2️⃣ ASK FOR FLEXIBILITY. And be flexi in what good flexibility can look like, but set very clear expectations. It’s got to be a win-win for all. If you lead others remember flexibility isn’t just about the location of work. When people work and how people work is all flexible.

3️⃣ SPEND TIME BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS. Get good people around you who will support and advocate for your success. If you lead others offer diverse types and styles of networking and relationship building occasions so everyone can participate and add value.

4️⃣ DO NOT TOLERATE MICROAGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR. If you see demeaning or dismissive behaviour going on, don’t ignore it. This is your environment too, so make it one to be proud of.

5️⃣ KNOW HOW YOU ADD IMPACT. Know what you do best, where you add the most contributions and spend more time here. If you lead others ask them regularly what they love doing and build these opportunities into their remit.

Mo creates a real community for listeners, one also that isn’t afraid to challenge the status quo and not without some fun. Thanks for having me and UnlimitU Mo & EntrepreneurHer.
