Getting Outspoken about the Unspoken with Jess Rad
--:--
Shining a light on taboo workplace topics to create compassion.
In this episode, award-winning speaker and entrepreneur Jess Rad gets real about premature menopause, late-identified neurodiversity, being a parent carer, and helping others break the stigma of their own taboos.
Jess is on a mission to shine a light on the real challenges impacting the women in the workplace - because even if they aren't being spoken about, it doesn't mean they aren't real or common - all in the name of building compassion.
She talks about how her own diagnosis of premature menopause catapulted her into starting her own business, The Womenhood - and how she had to pivot again when the pandemic began.
Five years on, Jess is a speaker and recognised diversity advocate who works with organisations as diverse as NatWest and Sussex University to bring conversations about taboo topics into the workplace.
In this episode, she reflects on how she leads, how she thinks about her reputation, and what we can do collectively to encourage more leaders from diverse backgrounds and identities.
It's a candid, moving discussion with an intersectional leader who is working to change work to make the world better for us all.
This podcast is a companion piece to Charlotte Otter's book We Need New Leaders, published on 3 June by Practical Inspiration Publishing. Find it online or in all good bookshops.
