Summary

In this weeks high energy episode I’m On a Mission with Lucienne Shakir, a visionary coach in the field of female empowerment with a huge vision to improve corporate infrastructures!

A very thought provoking episode where I found myself challenging my own beliefs as we got into some frank discussions. Lucienne has overcome her own adversity to find her voice which she now uses brilliantly to raise others up. We talk into the mindset that’s required when it comes to growing and scaling a business, and so much more.

Another fantastic guest with some great insights.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We sometimes feel a lack of confidence when it comes to speaking out for fear that door will close to us. Overcoming this fear takes bravery and resilience, but the rewards can change the landscape for yourself and others.
Many new business owners seem to develop a sense of impatience when they come to market, little realising that the journey itself is what matters. Learning to be the best enables you to remain the best when you reach the top.
Equality is not necessarily about including everyone. It is also about raising those up who are at the bottom so as to ensure that the scales are balanced.
Men have to navigate difficult situations and their own social burdens, but women's issues are entirely different category. Women have to endure far more in the way of challenge, and troublingly these behaviours have become normalised.

BEST MOMENTS

'The more I see people like you doing this, the more I feel like I can'

'If you're going to lead then you've got to lead. You've got to push the boundaries'

'There have been a lot of things that have happening in my life that have been down to inequality, that have given me the drive that I need to speak up about this stuff'

'It's my deep inner mission to see more people represented'

0:00.0	I am absolutely delighted to be joined by the beautiful Alicia and Shakur. She is an absolute
0:07.0	legend. She's a female empowerment coach. She's a proud partner of the collective of extraordinary
0:12.0	women membership mastermind community. She's a fellow podcaster, a public speaker. She'll not
0:17.4	let me say this, but she is becoming a social media influencer as well. And she's just a fabulous
0:22.7	person. So thank you so much for joining me. I think that's the best introduction I have ever had,
0:29.2	Ellie. Thank you so much. Do that again, if you like. I don't think I could remember it all.
0:35.9	It's quite an accolade there, but having me such a pleasure to be on really is, yeah.
0:42.3	It really is. And you and I have got to know each other through clubhouse and we've sort of
0:48.4	taken the relationship beyond that and had a few zooms. And I'm an absolute huge fan of what
0:54.1	you're doing, Lucianne. But before we go into what you're doing now, let's just tell the listeners
0:59.2	a little bit about your backstory because in a previous life, you were, you know, you're a bit
1:04.4	of a high flyer. You were in a corporate position and the wheels started coming off and it's
1:10.0	sort of led to a completely different path. So would you mind just telling us a little bit about
1:14.2	your backstory? Yeah, sure. No problem. So I really, the main core of my profession was in teaching.
1:22.2	That's where I, that's where I love to be. You know, when you say you're in flow,
1:27.5	I was definitely in flow when I was teaching, when I was, you know, felt that I was inspiring people
1:33.8	and I raised quite quickly in leadership in education, probably before the foundations were
1:40.8	set properly to be quite honest. And I ended up having a nervous breakdown about a year after
1:48.0	my son was born. And my identity had been so closely attached to me being what I was in education,
1:57.2	to furthering the field in education, you know, I did a mask. So I, you can so relate to this,
2:02.9	I know you can. So I was heavily pregnant, completing a full-time, a part-time masters and working
2:10.7	full-time at the point where I was like, I'm not sure if I can do this, but I did it.
