At MindTribes I\u2019m the head of market strategy and Michelle is Div\u2019s partner in MindTribes\u2019 nonprofit arm, CDW (Culturally Diverse Women and Workforce). Although we are both involved, we work on different projects and our paths don\u2019t cross very often. Div always has wonderful things to say about Michelle, so I always wanted to know her better. Michelle is an in-demand speaker and a regular contributor to the discussion about equality and inclusion in sport and business. So it was with great pleasure and gratitude that I got to know her better during this interview for The Job Hunting Podcast. \nMichelle is the founder of Advancing Women in Business & Sport, an enterprise providing research and advisory services on equality, inclusion, and gender diversity. She works closely with some of the most influential CEOs and leaders in the country, supporting their organization's design and implement diversity and inclusion strategies that work.\nMichelle is determined to contribute to achieving global gender equality in her lifetime, especially through her research and advocacy in the sporting industry. Her most recent venture, A Career that Soars! Is a private networking platform for corporate women to connect, learn from each other, and invest in their professional development. \nSo what did we talk about? She has a finger in so many pies and I was so curious we had a very long chat. We discussed:\nTimestamps to guide your listening:\n 7:18 - Her diverse and rich career trajectory, from leaving school at 15 to having great executive roles and mentors along the way 12:30 - Mohit\u2019s graduation day and the advice that almost took him back to India\n14:29 - Her \u201cAha\u201d moment: how in her 40s she learned a lot about herself and made an important career transition\n20:36 - How she influences corporate Australia to stop the exodus of professional women from the workforce\n31:14 - Her love for sports and aspirational goals for women in the sporting industry and on the field\n43:36 - Career advice for women: the missing 33% of career advice women are not getting to help them advance professionally.\n51:57 - Why is it so hard to coach professional women?! Why are women so reluctant to invest in their careers?\nAnd if you receive my newsletter, this week\u2019s curated articles include 3 of Michelle\u2019s best blogs, they are amazing reads. I also added some great research additional articles which I think complement this week\u2019s episode on diversity and inclusion and female career advancement. \nLinks mentioned\nSubscribe to receive Renata\u2019s newsletter\nSusan Colatuono\u2019s TED Talk: The Career advice you probably didn\u2019t get.\nA Career that Soars!
