Welcome to the all-Black Women Season running from the 8th of March to the end of May.
It's been a minute, we are glad to be back with season 5, a little emotional because we have been gone for some time.
This season at CHT we will focus on black women, it is important for us to spin a couple of stories on the head.
Season 5 is all about bringing professional women, specifically black women, it is suggested that black women are behind in the corporate world, what we want to do at Corporate Hard Talk is to speak to women who are doing really well in their careers.
Our vision here is to inspire you one podcast episode at a time! Yes, we are aware that there is limited progression experienced by black women in the labor market. The issue is centered around pay, hours, and representation in top jobs.
In this episode, we sit down with Mariam Longe the Author of Vultures to the Rescue. Longe is a strong advocate of environmental conservation and sustainability.

S4:10 Interview with Co-Founder of Ikoyi Chapmans (Drink Company) Mike Robinson
To order click here
About Ikoyi Chapman
The Ikoyi Chapmans journey started for Mike and Garry Robinson in the late 1960's at The Ikoyi Club in Lagos, Nigeria. Their parents were based in West Africa for over 30 years and during school holidays Mike and Garry would go to The Ikoyi Club to play squash and tennis. After these exertions in the heat and humidity of West Africa, one of the Club barmen would mix the most amazing, refreshing, thirst-quenching drink that was popular with everyone. It had a unique taste like no other drink and to this day they have never tasted anything like it....until now, that is. The Ikoyi Club name for this drink was Chapmans.
In the 1980s and back in the UK, Mike and Garry became professional squash players and they continued to mix and drink Chapmans as both a great thirst-quencher and a great social drink. After their squash years they also discovered that it is a great cocktail mixer, blending particularly well with gin, whisky, rum and Prosecco...truly an all round drink to enjoy.
For many years their dream has been to produce this drink for everyone to enjoy.

In this episode, I am having a chit-chat with my mum Funmilola Mary Abodunrin a Childcare Practitioner.

This Week’s Episode of Corporate HARD TALK. In this episode, Deborah chats with Kerry North a CSR professional.

S4:05 Nobody respects a beggar Interview with Dele Momodu CEO of Ovation Magazine
In this episode, Deborah chats with Dele Momodu the CEO and Publisher of Ovation International Magazine. Dele spoke very candidly to us about his background most especially academic strengths in Yoruba and English (literature). He studied at the Obafemi Awolowo University, worked for free as a journalist, built his network, and time away from his home country Nigeria opened an avenue to create a magazine (platform) that celebrates and gives publicity to Africa’s crème de la crème. DCHT listeners, we talk a lot about networking on this platform, our conversation with Dele further explores and truly confirms networking is an art. Deborah states “as a young girl from Nigeria growing up in South East London, Ovation magazine would catch my eyes on the newsstand. Usually at the bottom or at the side of the rack but nevertheless the large glossy magazine would still standout with pictures of glamourous Africans”.

Today we received some analysis on Corporate HARD TALK coverage on Spotify, very impressive in an understatement. According to the statistics we are listened to in 9 countries (US,UK and Canada) we are global !!!!!! What will you be doing to wind down this year? It is very important to take some time out to relax. One way to relax is to mentally switch off, take time off work or even quit your job if you can afford to do so, noting is worth you feeling unhappy during these uncertain times (alright maybe don’t quit) but try and take time out to just relax and absolutely do nothing.

DCHT PODCAST- S3 THE APPRENTICE UK REVIEW WEEK 5 & 6
Deborah is back with her review of the Apprentice week 5 and 6, discussing the wining and losing team plus the controversial debate surrounding the show .
Week 5 and 6 review episode, so on this episode the conversation about racism on The Apprentice is becoming a little more apparent. Why you ask ... well at first I was all buzzing about the fact and visibility that the show has many diversity from ethnic to social.Week 6 Iasha was fired , making her the 5th BAME to be fired in the space of 6 weeks. I am not here to discuss that but it cannot be avoided, this episode saw the team create their own roller coaster . Okay let's talk about it, I personally don't think Alan is racist , maybe he just doesn't feel connected to the candidates (working with people is all about connection, omg you like a corona , I LIKE CORONA) because they may not share the social and cultural values! oh all is this a bull point of view ? I also feel like he picks candidates that he thinks their business will make him more money. shame about Iasha though because she made over 1m when she was project manager ! Is this a reflection of what BAME go though in the working world (discrimination) I am personally in lala land about not getting opportunity because of my ethnicity, I say you better send the lift down so I can get up , if you don't I will fly up there . don't test me ..... This African girl is not for turning (DEFINITELY WILL NEVER CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT FLYING UP THERE TO GET WHAT IS MINE) I LOVE A GOOD SMACK TALK :Comment your thoughts below and click on my link to listen to my review.

S3:EP5- DCHT Take on Robert F Smith’s Morehouse College Commencement Speech
In this lastest episode of “DCHTPODCAST, Deborah explores and comments on the recent speech by the entrepreneur /Philanthropist Robert F Smith at Morehouse College Commencement Speech. Word on the street is he cleared over 400 student’s debt please do the maths ! why is this not continuously trending , a question I keep asking myself.. I have decided to listen to his message and comment on it , if you haven’t listened to it , here are the 5 key points/advice he gave the fresh debt free graduands
- You need to know nothing replaces doing the work
- Think about taking risk (responsible ones)
- Be intentional about the word you use
- You are enough
- We all have the responsibility to liberate one another….
He said a couple more , head over to my podcast to have a listen! I personally feel Robert did not only relief the students of their debts but he broke the curse of bad stereotyping and re birthed the boys , making them feel brand new , the morehouse graduates, after that speech may have felt like they can rule the world.
Having Difficult Conversations at Work
In this episode of DCHTPodcast Deborah explore why it is important to push your self to have difficult conversations. What are the difficult conversation , I hear you ask . In this episode has been narrowed down to 3 points (asking for a pay rise, asking for promotions,negotiating) Additionally asking for a change of you work , I believe all the above are difficult conversations to have especially if you don't want to loo forward. Have a listen and let me know your thoughts.
S3:EP3- Feeling Sad & Less at Work
In this episode of DCHTPodcast Deborah talks about feeling sad and less at work. Have you ever been in a situation where your are allowing your job or career define who you are and affecting your self esteem, well it is time to re adjust your mindset and know that you are not your job!
SE3:EP2 Coping with Rejection- Job Application
In this episode titled Coping with rejection : Job Application where I talk about how I have coped with rejection believe rejection is an everyday issue in my world, from asking my daughter “can mummy have a bite” and she says “NO!!!!!” (jokes she is still mastering the concept of sharing) Haha really but I am sure this is something we’ve all been through when we apply for jobs. I noticed it happens when you are applying for positions which can put you in a higher position and the ouch rejection is when you are applying for positions you feel overqualified for , and you still get the “Unfortunately” line . Anyway Dchtpodcast should not be mistaken for a professional service, or career coaching but much more relaxed angle when talking about our professional/corporate affair. I am just sharing how I cope , you can go ahead and listen and let me know how you also cope. Until next week goodbye : )
S3:EP1-Networking 2.0
Deborah is back with a spanking new season and episode. This episode of Deborah's Corporate Hard Talk is all about Networking, on the #DCHTPODCAST platform , we believe network is key and it's all about meeting people with a purpose and also realising that when you go around connecting with people, you also have as much to offer.
