Being sixty-ish with Jane Evans and Charmian Hughes
Lynne Parker shares her experiences of being ‘sixty-ish’ with advertising guru Jane Evans and comedian Charmian Hughes. Reality increasingly dictates that many people will work beyond ‘retirement age’ either out of necessity or passion and, for older women, it’s an ongoing challenge to be visible. Only 3% of the world’s creative directors are women and 83% of adverts are made by men, even though women are responsible for over 90% of purchases. Jane’s response was to launch the Uninvisibility movement to change the societal narrative that renders midlife women invisible, while Charmian is channelling her inner Ursula Andress, movie goddess, for her new touring comedy show about ‘age, sexiness, time, and memory’. We discover why post World War 2 ‘mad men’ introduced household germs to force women out of the ad agency creative departments and back to the kitchen sink and how the current generation of women in their sixties have been true agents of change.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Transferable Skills with Giovanna Forte and Lily Jones
Lynne Parker introduces business woman Giovanna Forte to wedding planner Lily Jones, who have both switched from one discipline to another throughout their careers. The phrase ‘mother of invention’ is testament to the fact that many women successfully transfer their skills adapting their careers and lifestyles around a myriad of other responsibilities and ‘life admin’. From creating humans to networking - inventiveness and resourcefulness are innate feminine attributes along with integrity, resilience and, of course, a sense of humour. This episode covers organising wacky weddings to marketing medical devices where creativity and fun are common to both worlds. And there’s a wedding in the mix as well.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Beyond the Binary with Jae Sloan and Abby Wambaugh
How do we go beyond the binary? Lynne Parker seeks wisdom from organisational development consultant and business strategist, Jae Sloan, and comedian Abby Wambaugh, finalist in the 2021 Funny Women Stage Award. Both guests identify as non-binary but from different and surprising perspectives. This frank and revealing discussion challenges us to reconsider gender in terms of identity, expression, sexuality, upbringing and more. From ‘wearing a baby’ to playing with Barbie, why are we restricted by traditional male/female binary ‘norms’. We can change the world one non-binary step at a time once we accept that the only boundaries are the ones we impose on ourselves.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
