Pink Shoe On Air: Resilience to Transformation with Jill Pay & Lynne Copp

This week’s On Air was a powerful session with two inspiring leaders. Firstly Jill Pay shared with us the secrets of being resilient based on her unique experience as Serjeant At Arms in the House of Commons. 

This involved being prepared for any and every eventuality, with a protocol and process in place to ensure the smooth running of our democracy no matter what occurs. Taking us to the present day and Jill’s role of Chairman of Trustees for Coram Beanstalk, where the charity is working flexibly to continue its vital activity with schools and supporting children's reading.

We then heard from transformation specialist and founder of the Worklife Company, Lynne Copp who is working extensively across the NHS with her consultancy playing a key leadership role. 

Lynne also shared insights from her award-winning book – Dancing Round the Handbags. A culmination of many years work, the title itself was a ‘lightbulb’ moment and the book explores different facets of life relating to the various contents of our bags.

Pink Shoe On Air: Meditation with Vena Ramphal

Spiritual teacher and wellbeing specialist Vena Ramphal led us in a wonderful mediation session which both lifted our spirits and gave each of us a sense of energising calm. 

Alongside her work in wellbeing and as a TV relationship expert, Vena trained in classical Indian dance. We are very fortunate that Vena performed for us some years ago for a Pink Shoe Birthday celebration at the House of Lords. 

Vena holds weekly ‘InPowerment' meditation sessions each Monday evening on FaceBookLive. To find out more go to: https://www.facebook.com/TheShapeOfStillness 



Pink Shoe On Air: Managing Finances with Anna Sofat


We enjoyed an excellent On Air session with Anna Sofat, founder of Addidi, angel investor, creator of the #AreYouIn Movement and Associate Partner with Progeny. Anna shared lots of practical expert tips on how best to organise our finances in these challenging times and as always her insights were professional and accessible. 

Anna took us through the options available to us, from personal pensions to Government schemes and what to look out for depending upon our circumstances. 

Anna also suggested there may be those for whom there hasn't been a financial challenge so if we're fortunate enough to be in that category it would be a good time to consider charitable donations, as many charities are being hit by the lockdown.
