Andrea Janzen

Welcome to the Diversity at Work podcast Season 2! Today we are taking a break from our regularly scheduled programming and are launching a special season on thriving in times of uncertainty. It is March 23rd today and we are right in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a leadership coach, I have a ton of resources that can help people get through difficult times. People are working from home, people are losing their jobs. Things are pretty crazy right now. And I wanted to use the next couple of weeks to bring some guests on, share strategies on how to see opportunities, and how to stay positive in this time, where to be honest, there's a lot of fear and anxiety happening. Today, I'm going to give you one tool that you can start with right now to feel grounded, not to set big goals, not to feel very ambitious, but so that you can start to try to be positive, start to see opportunities and really be in a place where you can serve others. You can be that role model, you can step up and be that leader in your family, with your coworkers, and in your community.  Sign up to get your gratitude journal here: https://mailchi.mp/f228d708410b/gratitude?fbclid=IwAR1j5v0uOvUSj908aR-yzRDNNiuPfRXZz_fFH8QwsrqRV98fhr2var8gii4  Join the Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/592214311302369/ Find us on Instagram: @ambitiontheory or @andreajanzen

1) How to cope in times of crisis with Andrea Janzen

I’ve read a lot of studies on gender and the workplace recently and they all seem to have one thing in common. In order for things to truly get better for women in the workplace, men need to get involved. A lot of companies are talking about gender diversity, and they want to make the workplace better for women, but, they don’t really know how to engage men. I know this, because most companies have an employee resource group for women, a lot of companies bring in a speaker for International Women’s Day and have women’s mentorship programs. Not a lot of companies have a gender diversity strategy that comes from the top that engages both genders. In this episode I'm talking about what's in it for men.  You can see the World Economic Forum Gender Gap Report here. https://www.weforum.org/reports/the-global-gender-gap-report-2018  You can read my Medium article on this topic here. https://medium.com/@andrea_90330/whats-in-it-for-you-why-men-should-be-on-board-with-gender-diversity-290d0e271dba

What’s in it for you: Why men should be on board with gender diversity.

The curriculum from EY’s women’s leadership training has been all over the news this week. A training program called Power Presence Purpose, pretty much reinforced every single gender stereotype that exists in the workplace. Many people are shocked, myself included. I actually thought it was fake news. In this episode I talk about what we can learn from this and why it’s time to stop trying to change women’s behaviours and look at organizational culture instead.

Don Bureaux

Don Bureaux is the President and CEO of Nova Scotia Community College. He successfully created a diverse leadership team by reframing one simple question. Instead of asking 'Do you have what it takes to be a leader at this organization?' He asked 'What kind of leader do you want to be?' This opened up new opportunities for people to play into their strengths, become better leaders and build a high performing team.  Don believes that your strengths are not the things you are good at, but instead the things that get you excited. In this interview we talked about celebrating diversity and how the college is preparing the next generation for the fourth industrial revolution.  You can find Don on linked in here. https://www.linkedin.com/in/don-bureaux-2043211a/ You can learn more about Marcus Buckingham here https://www.marcusbuckingham.com/ Get your Ambitious Everyday Journal for FREE here http://andreajanzen.com/journal Sponsor: https://www.duckish.ca/discount/DIVERSITYATWORK Enter promo code diversityatwork to get 15% off of your order.

35. Authentic Leadership with Jenn Wicks 

It’s unfortunate but true. Women don’t always support other women. In this episode I’m unpacking what the evidence says about this. I’m also sharing a story of when I fell into the trap of not supporting another woman’s success. This issue comes up a lot, and it’s easy for us to point the finger and blame others. The truth is, if we really want things to change, we need to start with ourselves.

Debra Kasowski

Debra Kasowski is an Executive Coach, Consultant, 3x Bestselling author and host of the Millionaire Woman Show Podcast. In this episode we talk about abundance mindset and how it is the key to unlocking your personal and professional potential. As women (myself included) we don't always support other women's success. Sometimes without even knowing it we adopt a scarcity mindset and we see other women's success as a threat to our own.  In this episode Debra and I talked about how to stop doing this by embracing an abundance mindset and creating opportunities for yourself.  You can find Debra online here.  You can get her latest book here.  You can listen to her podcast here.

Embracing an abundance mindset with Debra Kasowski

Just be yourself. That's what everyone tells you to do, so why is it so hard? When you look around and see that people are different than you, is it your instinct to try to become more like them? When your path is different than everybody else's do you try to compensate to fit in? I spent 15 years as a marketing manager and know the power of branding, yet I still resisted the idea of embracing my own personal brand. I had believed that I needed to be like everybody else in order to be successful. The truth: the fact that I was a bit different made people want to work with me. On this episode I share my story.

9. How to persist through adversity with Dr. Vanessa Sweet

Olethea Pimenta

Registered Therapist

Jamie Deveaux

In this episode of the Diversity at Work podcast, I got to interview Jamie Deveaux, who is a chef and was recently on the Food Network show, Wall of Chefs which he won! We talked about food, and how slowing down in times like these is a great way to ground yourself and connect with your family. We also discussed how foodis such a good way that humans connect with each other through, and when we are in this state of isolating ourselves, how we can actulally use food to keep our relationships going and find a bit of positivity in these times. Jamie is a recipe blogger, reality cooking show winner, and upcoming personal chef/small event caterer. He has a passion for slow cooking and mindful food practices, including promotion of local food initiatives, food security, and a healthy, deliciously feed, community.  Check out his blog here: https://theslowbraise.com/ Find him on Instagram and Facebook: @theslowbraise  Spaghetti on the Ready This pasta might seem complicated but I am confident even a novice cook can have it on the table, impressing their nearest and dearest (or just their isolated selves) within half an hour. This is a good time to learn the joys of "mise en place" which means "everything in its place". This is the concept of doing all of your cutting, trimming, measuring, pantry digging for that one ingredient that you know is there but doesn't want to be found, before you start to cook. it eliminates so much stress and frustration and will afford you the time to enjoy the process. Ingredients: 1 box dry pasta (spaghetti, linguine, spaghettini) 3 vine tomatoes, medium dice 2 Tbsp olive oil 1/2 onion, small dice 2 cloves garlic, minced (we use 4 or 5!) 1 cup cooked chickpeas, drained (canned works) 2 Tbsp tomato paste 1/2 cup red wine (plus more for drinking) 1/2 cup orange juice 1/2 cup torn fresh basil 2-3 large handfuls arugula or baby spinach 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg lots of fresh cracked black pepper optional toppings: parmigiano reggiano chopped fresh parsley Instructions: 1. Put a large pot of well salted water on to boil. This should be salty like seawater. Don't worry, most of the salt gets drained off. 2. In a large medium-hot skillet, add your olive oil, onions, and garlic and cook until translucent and aromatic, about 2 minutes. 3. Add tomato paste, lots of black pepper, nutmeg, and chickpeas. Cook, stirring, for another 2 minutes. It is perfectly find for things to be sticking to the pan at this point. The browning adds a lot of flavor. 4. Pour orange juice and half cup of wine into pan and use a wooden spoon to loosen and lift up all of the cooked on pieces from the pan. 5. When wine and juice have reduced and started to look like a thin syrup, add tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes. 6. Toss pasta into the pot of boiling salt water and set a timer for one minute less than cooking time listed on the box. 7. While pasta is cooking, toss basil and arugula into your sauce and continue to reduce over medium-high heat. It should start looking too thick by the time the pasta is cooked but not sticking to the pan. Trust the process. 8. When pasta is cooked, using tongs, lift noodles from the boiling water directly into the pan of sauce. add 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water, this is absolute liquid gold for pasta dishes. 9. Stir everything together until the sauce is thickened again and the pasta is well coated. 10. Remove from heat, top with tons of fresh parsley, grated parm, plack pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. 11. Serve directly to the table in the skillet

Ashley Maria

Ann Woodward

On this episode of the Diversity at Work podcast, I sat down with Ashley Maria and Lea-Ann Woodward Berst, a mother and daughter team who produced and directed the documentary Pioneers in Skirts. In this movie, they talk about women's ambition and the reasons why the gender gap really exists. If you've listened to my podcast for a while, you probably know that the gender gap is not a women's issue, it's a cultural issue. So if you want to have a conversation with your daughter, with your partner, with your coworkers of any gender, this is the movie that explains it. In this interview we talk about what you can do as a parent to promote gender equality for the next generation. How you can have conversations with both men and women and how you can have a conversation with your family. Watch the movie and get started to take action and figure out what your part can be in closing the gender gap.  To learn more about the Pioneers in Skirts documentary: https://www.pioneersinskirts.com/ Sign up to get your gratitude journal here: http://andreajanzen.com/journal Join the Ambitious Everyday Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/592214311302369/ Find us on Instagram: @ambitiontheory or @andreajanzen

45. Championing diversity in the pre-fabrication industry with CEO Amy Marks

On this episode we're pulling back the curtain and sharing how the concept of sponsorship is showing up in our company. I'm sharing the reasons why so many people said no to me in the early days of my business and the only way that I was able to land big corporate clients is by leveraging relationships.  A lot of people hate the word networking, and feel uncomfortable using the word sponsorship. It often brings up feelings of being inauthentic. The truth is, it's actually a lot of fun and one of the easiest ways to accelerate women and people with diverse backgrounds into leadership positions.  I'm also sharing how you can embrace this concept as an entrepreneur or a small business.  I've recently partnered with two women entrepreneurs in Toronto to better understand how the construction industry works and I'm sharing the behind the scenes on how it happened.  Get tickets to the LIVE POCAST RECORDING in Toronto on March 4, 2020.    You can read the Forbes article here  Join the Ambitious Every Day Facebook Group Here.  Sponsor: Get your Ambitious Every Day Journal Here.

Lorien Barlow

Hard Hatted Woman

Lorien Barlow began developing the documentary Hard Hatted Woman in 2013 and has since then interviewed dozens of tradeswomen from all over the US. The film is currently in post production and will be making it’s debut later in 2020. In this interview we talked about what motivated Lorien to take on this project and what she learned filming women on construction sites all across the US. Her biggest ‘aha’ moment was when she started to explore the reasons why women go into the trades, because it’s not what you think. Working in the trades is a really great job, but today there are still very few women in the profession, and the numbers aren’t really changing. Lorien is going to leverage this film to change the narrative and start a different conversation about the trades.
