  • Yes, You Can Write a Book: Lucy McCarraher
    Oct 30 2024

    Most people have thought, whether out loud or in their minds, 'I should write a book.' Yet, for all but a tiny percentage, that idea never materialises, which means there are millions of untold stories trapped in people’s minds.

    Many aspiring authors struggle to turn their ideas into reality. What are the barriers holding them back?

    Lucy McCarraher, this week’s guest on Greatest Minds, may have an answer to this question as she’s a seasoned publisher and mentor to over 1,000 authors. Lucy delves into the challenges of writing and publishing, offering insights on how to navigate this complex landscape. She discusses the timeless appeal of books and their unique ability to connect with readers, as well as her structured methodology that helps authors overcome obstacles like writer’s block and self-doubt.

    We also get to hear about Lucy’s publishing house Rethink Press, a hybrid publishing house that supports entrepreneurs and experts in turning their ideas into published books, empowering diverse authors, particularly women, while also organising the Business Book Awards to celebrate diverse voices in publishing.

    Anyone can harness their experiences and turn them into a published work—learn how you can do it in this week’s episode.

  • Find Your Superpower and Leverage It for Success: Heather Melville
    Oct 16 2024

    Heather Melville had almost gotten through the most important interview of her career when they asked her the question: “Why do you want to work for us?” Instead of taking the conventional route and listing her reasons or trying to sell herself further, she flipped the conversation entirely. “Actually, I think we should start this conversation again” she said. “You asked me to come and see you, so you really need to sell to me on why you think I should leave a job that I'm very happy in and come and work for you.”

    This bold move was a defining moment which exemplifies Heather's authenticity and confidence - traits that have propelled her throughout her extraordinary career.

    In this episode, we were delighted to get to know Dr. Heather Melville OBE, a highly accomplished leader in corporate banking and professional services, known for her trailblazing work in technology, diversity, equity, and inclusion. With over 40 years of experience, Heather has become a Chancellor of the University of York and earned numerous accolades, including an OBE in 2017.

    Hear all about the interviews that changed the direction of her life, her thoughts on real-world experience versus higher education, and the superpower that has fuelled her success.

    Tune in to hear the full conversation with Dr. Heather Melville OBE, where we uncover the mindset behind her incredible journey and the valuable lessons she has to share with aspiring leaders today.

  • Red Cards & Breaking Barriers with Janie Frampton
    Sep 18 2024

    At 15, a young Janie Frampton fell in love—not with a person, but with a sport: football.

    In this episode of Greatest Minds, we sit down with Janie Frampton, a trailblazer in the world of football officiating, to discuss her journey from being one of the first female referees in England to becoming an international figure in sports refereeing and advocacy for equality.

    Janie shares stories of the challenges she faced breaking into a male-dominated profession, and the barriers that fuelled her determination to succeed. From giving a red card to a hunting party during a match to being part of the first all-female officiating team for a men's professional game, Janie’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary.

    You’ll also get to hear about the unique perspectives referees bring to the game, as well as her thoughts on the state of equality in football today. See the game through the eyes of a woman who’s seen it all!

    For more information on Janie, you can find him here at: https://www.janieframpton.com/ or get in contact with her on her various social media channels!
