  • My favourite new podcast

    As a working mum who still struggles with confidence at times, this podcast has been so inspirational.

    Katty and her guests have such amazing ways of reframing those unhelpful thoughts that I think a lot of women struggle with. From people pleasing to feeling like a fraud, each episode takes me into the next week feeling more confident and inspired

  • Scaramucci is an inspiration!

    I absolutely loved hearing Anthony’s story. I am a big fan of Katty and Anthony and this interview gave me so many ideas about managing people. I could not agree more about his statement that emotional intelligence is more important than intelligence in the work place. Katty you ask all the right questions.

  • Incredibly dull

    I appreciate greatly the rest is politics with Katty Kay and was keen to listen to her new podcast. How can anyone make such a potentially interesting subject so dull?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

7. How to Be the Person Everyone Listens To
Q: Is it possible to learn how not to take things personally?
Yes. It involves reframing how you view feedback, using menopause-level confidence as a metaphor for letting go of small slights, and focusing on what you can control, such as preparation, demeanor, and response rather than others' opinions.
7. How to Be the Person Everyone Listens To
Q: How can you create influence while working remotely?
Influence remotely by commanding the screen—be engaging, visible, and present in Zoom at all times, and use intentional interactions to build relationships and visibility even when not face-to-face.
7. How to Be the Person Everyone Listens To
Q: How do I develop leadership presence as a woman and do you have any presentation tips?
Develop leadership presence by cultivating posture, voice, and presence; speak with clarity, avoid empty apologies, and practice a calm, confident delivery that blends strength with warmth. Your energy and confidence come from preparation, practice, and owning the moment in meetings and presentations.
4. Why High Achievers Still Feel Like Frauds (Anne-Marie Imafidon)
Q: What would you say to a 15-year-old girl today who wants to get into the sciences?
Lead with openness to interests, tailor opportunities to what excites the individual, and show that pathways in STEM can start with curiosity and be built through hands-on projects and community support.
4. Why High Achievers Still Feel Like Frauds (Anne-Marie Imafidon)
Q: What would you tell your 13-year-old self about confidence and pursuing STEM?
There isn't a single grand rule; instead, focus on learning as an ongoing experiment, maintain curiosity, and value the process of exploration over chasing flawless outcomes.
