Listen to the episode

In this episode I'm joined by Danielle Dobson, an author, speaker and corporate coach on a mission to break the Gender Code: the set of beliefs we hold as a society that says women are carers, men are providers, and the two are intrinsically different.

Show notes

Danielle's research into women in leadership found that the Gender Code underpins much of the inequality in the workplace, and revealed why mothers make great leaders. She works with organisations to unlock the potential of the women on their teams and attract the right talent, and helps busy parents find a better balance between work and home.

"Your contribution matters and your needs are important."

Danielle Dobson

In Danielle's words

The cost of carrying the load

"Taking on this load, day after day after day, takes a toll. Burnout can cause lower levels of connection with everything that normally makes you feel good, and withdrawal from your support networks, the very things we need to nourish us and keep us going."

Building your internal compass

"It's understanding what's most important to you, and using that as an internal compass. It goes beyond awareness: it's self-knowledge. Knowing who you are, your strengths and your sense of worth.

Your contribution matters and your needs are important. All of that groundwork needs to be done, so that you have the strength, the courage and the consistency to have the boundary discussions."

Knowing your worth, then being seen for it

Danielle's internal compass is where a strong personal brand starts: knowing who you are, what you're good at and what you're worth. The next step is making sure the right people can see it.

If you've done that groundwork and you're ready to be visible for it, The Visibility Bootcamp™ is where that starts.
