show moreWe are joined by Helen Moulinos for this episode - a knowledgeable, passionate human rights expert and stir-fry aficionado. After growing up in the States she moved to the UK and now leads POhWER, the UK’s largest advocacy charity which upholds and protects the human rights of marginalised, vulnerable and excluded groups.
We start the episode discussing how Kenneth and James have been given the keys to the social accounts but their rebellious posting activity pales into insignificance as Helen describes growing up with a crowd of angry New Yorkers. There’s her failure to break into the charity sector and having to make do with a lucrative job in banking, moonlighting as an activist by night and risking her career. This proved a great grounding for a switch later in life and finding a position which totally fulfils. There’s being kind to yourself and your colleagues, standing up for people and focussing on results. We go on holiday by ourselves, watch horror movies and get emotional about the greatest love of our careers.
