Today we are joined by Claire Hatton and Greta Thomas, Founders of the Don’t Stop Us Now. Get ready to dive deep into the lives of these remarkable individuals and uncover the personal journeys that have shaped their extraordinary success. Claire and Greta invite you to discover the person behind the success story—the one who has encountered the same doubts, fears, and tough times as many of us. These inspiring women have faced obstacles head-on, defying expectations and forging their own paths to greatness. Through their tales of triumph, they impart invaluable wisdom, lessons, and insights that will inspire and empower you on your own journey. Together, we'll delve into the experiences of extraordinary people who bring us the stories of people that have shattered the glass ceilings in various fields, including business, politics, science, sports, and the arts. We'll uncover the strategies they employed, the obstacles they faced, and the lessons they learned along the way. Through their stories, we aim to inspire, motivate, and empower women everywhere to embrace their own unique strengths, challenge the status quo, and overcome the barriers that hold them back. One of the key lessons they’ve learned from creating more than 169 episodes and being part of the top 5% that keep going is that it's a marathon, not a sprint. The importance of a clear purpose is considered vital, acting as an anchor that fuels motivation, especially when facing setbacks. One of these lessons for all of us is financial fortitude and literacy that are essential skills that empower people to take control of their financial futures and make informed decisions. In today's rapidly changing economic landscape, we need to be equipped with the knowledge and tools to navigate the complexities of personal finance, investments, and entrepreneurship. Moreover, the episode gave insights into dealing with criticism and setbacks, with an example of using "Rhino Hide" as a tool to not take things personally, thus hinting towards the concept of emotional resilience. A significant point is the human need for societal reconnection through giving, sharing, and helping others. Claire and Greta draw from their extensive experience as leaders and Non-Executive Directors to explore common career issues. They provide practical and proven tools that you can implement in your own life to overcome challenges, seize opportunities, and excel in your chosen field.
