Anuka Pokharel - Product Manager - Imposter Syndrome and making the leap
This week I am joined by Anuka Pokharel (she/her) (https://www.linkedin.com/in/pokharelanuka/) - Product Manager at HubSpot (https://www.linkedin.com/company/hubspot/) and I'm SUPER excited about this conversation!
Anuka started her career in Politics and Economics and quickly realised she isn't creating the impact that she wants to.
After landing her first job in tech within the Talent Acquisition space, she soon knew that TA wasn't going to be her forever career and she found a passion for product.
We deep dive into how you need to take a chance on yourself and make your own luck.
She explores how imposter syndrome played a massive role of feeling "incompetent" when she was thinking of transitioning to a tech role.
This episode is for ANYONE (especially women thinking about the tech sector) who thinks you need a technical background to have an impact and work with technical teams - you don't.
You need to:
- Be determined
- Trust yourself
- Dream big
- And take the leap
We explore:
- Talent Acquisition and aligning together with hiring managers
- Imposter syndrome and how to navigate your way to thinking positively
- Why representation matters
- How working within a supportive team can transform your career trajectory
- And SO much more!

Mark Ivan Serunjogi - Strategy Director - Why inclusive environments will transform your company
This week I am joined by the amazing Mark Ivan Serunjogi who's the Strategy Director at TheTruthWorks.
In this weeks episode we cover a variety of different topics and Mark Ivan takes us on an interesting journey from his experience relocating from Copenhagen to New York and from New York to Berlin and how each move shaped him in different ways as a person.
Mark Ivan comes from a phenomenal Employer Branding background, so we have a deep dive discussion on DEI, why building an inclusive culture first matters more than focussing 'just' on the diversity piece.
The conversation also gets surprisingly personal, where Mark Ivan shares a lot around his experiences growing up within an intercultural society, race, religion and why these things matter when hiring international talent.
So, if you're someone who's thinking of relocating or has relocated and don't know how to position your cultural differences, what to look out for when finding a new employer, then this episode is for you!
