  • 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.

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.
4. Why High Achievers Still Feel Like Frauds (Anne-Marie Imafidon)
Q: Did you ever feel like you had to keep achieving, given the extraordinary things you accomplished as a child and student?
Anne-Marie describes staying grounded in esteem rather than chasing perfection, viewing achievements as experiences rather than defining her self-worth, which reduces the pressure to maintain an ever-increasing standard.
1. The Secret To Asking For A Pay Raise (Mika Brzezinski)
Q: Based on your experience, what is the right way and the wrong way to approach asking for a pay raise?
The wrong way is to apologize your way into the conversation and to constantly justify why you deserve more; the right way is to articulate your value with specific accomplishments, prepare a clear request, and be ready to discuss timing and future impact.
