The Secret Resume
Everybody has an official resume or CV that documents their qualifications and experience. However, we also have a secret or unofficial resume that is made up of key people, places and experiences that have influenced how we see the world, what is important to us, and how we approach our work. A diverse range of guests share the elements of their secret resume which have shaped who they are as a person, and where they are in their work life today.

Have you heard of 'Cavalier Carers' or 'F**k-it Fathers'? Nor had I until I interviewed Ian Dinwiddy.
This weeks episode is a fascinating discussion about the life events that led to Ian taking a more non-traditional male role, and becoming a stay at home Dad to his two children.
He now runs an business called 'Inspiring Dads' who work with organisations to support new Dads, as they believe that enabling Fathers to take a more active role is a key element to creating gender equality for women.

Thursday Feb 09, 2023
Thursday Feb 09, 2023
Ellie is a certified coach, consultant, advisor, and an Occupational Psychologist. She talks to Melody about some of her formative experiences of being underestimated because of her gender and age. This had a negative effect on her confidence, but also gave her determination to prove the individuals wrong.
We learn about how she became an entrepreneur, and solo female founder of an education and recruitment-tech business, and how for the first time she felt that she had 'arrived'.
Some of the research about gender differences in startup funding that Ellie referenced can be found here:
