(E23) Claire Reindorp: do it scared
It’s a pretty big responsibility to lead an organisation aiming to change the future for young women in the workplace. How you balance supporting and advocating with campaigning. How you tackle prejudice, bias and years and years of ingrained practice. How you make yourselves seen and heard in a noisy world. Well, today’s guest is doing that and some.
I’m feeling totally in awe and inspired after talking with Claire Reindorp, Chief Executive of the Young Women’s Trust. If Claire was a stick of rock she’d have charity and tackling inequalities running right through the centre of her.
We talk about:
Claire's background and upbringing has shaped her beliefs, purpose and approach
being a new 'learner' CEO - expectation versus reality
getting comfortable with the things you know least about
finding support
what it’s like leading a small charity
leading as a feminist and leading a feminist organisation
realities of making an organisation inclusive
leading to make change happen and staying alert to practising what they value
juggling multiple agendas
collaborating instead of competing with other charities
leading during the election and being heard in a crowded space
how organisations can better support young women in the workplace
how you can get involved and support the Young Women's Trust.
