"Empowering women through financial independence is not just about money—it's about choice, freedom, and reshaping our world for generations to come."Listen to Dr. Nora Koslowski and Ellen Sullivan are the visionary co-founders of EVEN, an innovative startup dedicated to empowering women by accelerating their economic potential. Drawing on their extensive backgrounds in workforce development, business education, and online learning, Nora and Ellen have created a platform that addresses women's unique challenges in the workforce. Founding EVEN: A Mission to Balance the Scales EVEN was born from Nora and Ellen's realisation that despite the advances in professional education and career opportunities, women still face significant hurdles due to uneven caring responsibilities, financial burdens, and health decisions. This led them to leverage their combined decades of experience at Melbourne Business School and other educational initiatives to create a tailored solution for women. Dr. Nora Koslowski: With a robust academic foundation in psychology and management, Nora has educated thousands across multiple countries. Her role as Melbourne Business School’s inaugural Chief Learning Innovation Officer and her personal experiences as a mother have given her deep insights into the needs and challenges of professional women. Ellen Sullivan: A trailblazer in business education, Ellen has developed first-of-their-kind learning platforms and programs, significantly impacting over 15,000 learners globally. Her creative and innovative approach comes from a rich design background and her work with top-tier clients like Google and ANZ Bank. EVEN's Strategic Approach Under the leadership of Nora and Ellen, EVEN seeks to provide women with flexible and impactful professional development opportunities that do not force them to choose between career growth and personal life. Their approach includes forming strategic partnerships with businesses to address skill gaps, strengthen leadership pipelines, and adapt to the rapid pace of global change. Join the movement with EVEN, where women's success is not just a possibility but a guaranteed outcome. All while balancing personal commitments and professional growth, Nora and Ellen's journey with EVEN is not just about making a difference—it’s about creating a new equilibrium where everyone wins. Learn more: https://www.even-careers.com/aboutSupport the Show.Subscribe and support the podcast at https://www.buzzsprout.com/367319/supporters/newLearn more at www.profselenabartlett.com
