Welcome to the Women of Faith in Leadership podcast
Are you passionate about leadership but often feel inadequate to deal with the difficult situations you face on a day-to-day basis?
Do you battle with balancing faith-based leadership principles and the worldly perspectives of your colleagues and team members?
Do you constantly have to address workplace culture issues like gossip, a lack of communication, conflict, a toxic environment, workplace bullying or bad attitudes?
Are you sick of the relentless fighting with your team, leaving you feeling like a failure?
Are you desperate to implement change but don’t know what to do?
Should you just quit your job and take the easy way out?
Hey, I’m Rika Whelan and I understand all too well the challenges leadership brings, especially as a woman of faith.
I had so many aspirations as a leader. What a wonderful opportunity to coach, and mentor and lead a team…
But then… humanity happened, the human factor. My idyllic idea of leadership quickly turned into an everyday battle with toxic people who couldn’t care less about others.
I didn’t realise how unpredictable people could be and it truly hurt that people could be so cruel and mean to each other.
I knew I had to take action and put the necessary boundaries in place to stop gossip in its tracks and to change that toxic environment into an environment where people could thrive and grow.
But I didn’t know how. It felt like I was in a deep dark pit and no one could help me get out. Except God!
I began to pray and went into battle, fumbling as I went, making many mistakes along the way… but I went… and today I am so proud to stand here and say I did it and, friend… so can you!
God showed me the way and gave me the wisdom I needed to put the necessary steps in place and by His grace alone, I experienced a beautifully peaceful and thriving workplace where my team actually enjoyed coming to work.
I finally had the opportunity to coach, mentor and lead a wonderful team.
I was equipped back then and now I am called to help Christian women like yourself who are desperate for a map, a navigation system to show them the way.
The good news is that there is a way that you can successfully navigate workplace culture without selling your soul.
There is a way that you can happily lead your team, set clear boundaries and finally enjoy coming to work.
In this podcast, you’ll learn practical steps to navigate all things leadership, workplace culture, faith and boundaries.
So grab your coffee or water, keep that notebook and pen handy, and let’s jumpstart your leadership… with God at the Centre of it all.
