There is a lot of noise around Diversity, Inclusion, Equality and Belonging out there! And rightly so! Yet - very often women are invited to change! To look at themselves and “fix themselves” - where in fact Harriet talks to us about the root cause of systemic bullying, abuse, career suppression etc. - She demonstrates how some of the issues are deeply rooted in our male dominated leaderboards across all industries. Now - we love men what we don’t love is the acceptance of some of the behaviours we see, some of the “insider friend to friend” favours we see and the devastating impact this can have on women, their careers, their wellbeing, their self worth.
Harriet is a certified Victim Focus trainer on a mission to bring our beloved men on board of the change we need to make! Links

The connection between contact centre operations and a family-run Scottish Whisky Business is certainly not that obvious. However - My guest Karen Somerville shares how she had to change and pivot in her business pretty fast, as the world market place changed with Covid-19.
Listen to your staff Do your research Don’t get disheartened by feedback (especially negative feedback)
She explains candidly how difficult it was at times, but she also shares her 3 key points in crisis management she would always, always ensured are followed through:
If you treat your own operation as if it was your “family business” you will quickly realise that many of the conversations and processes are so much easier to explain and to follow through!

Today I'm welcoming Paul McCarthy, CEO of Snapfix and yes, it's Snapfix not SnapChat, as you will hear me calling it! There is a story to this - which Paul will tell himself! Snapfix is one of the most amazing innovations I have recently seen in technology! There are industries notoriously failing from a maintenance perspective. I give you an example: I was overnighting in a hotel and the tap in the bathroom was dripping constantly. It kept me awake all night. I probably should have phoned maintenance or at least reception to get it looked at; which I didn’t. If this hotel would have had Snapfix, this wouldn't have been an issue. I could simply have taken a picture!
Paul will tell us exactly how his product works, the clients it serves around the globe and the impact Snapfix has on the customer experience! Right there and then!Links:
