The WECAN Podcast

Trust Yourself Anyway: Designing a Life That Fits. What does it mean to "design a life that fits"? How can you feel empowered when you don't feel confident? In this episode of WECAN, Stephanie talks to the incredible Sally Miller, an award-winning fashion designer, author, and one of the most profoundly heart-driven creative leaders you will ever meet. Sally is deeply invested in the art of mentoring and fostering creativity, reminding us that the "flow" is always there, sometimes we get in our own way! She shares how getting lost isn't a dead end; it’s often just a stepping stone to finding a new puzzle piece of ourselves. Just listening to Sally’s soothing voice and story makes you feel more grounded, in your body, and connected to your true self. Sally shows us how to come back to ourselves in all our different life phases. Her book, Trust Yourself Anyway, is my memoir and guide to help inspire and grow a global community of girls and women who are designing lives that actually fit. A roadmap to gracious, kind ways of showing up as ourselves, of trusting ourselves again.

In this episode of WECAN, I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing David Homan, founder of Orchestrated Connecting and author of Orchestrating Connections - known as a “Connector of Connectors,” David connects people. David is an intentional idealist who has managed something rare. He has built trust and a purposeful world around him that mirrors his deepest values back to him. He is a deeply generous human who cares about the greater good more than anything else, and listening to his dreams and the massive action he takes to achieve them is a true shot of hope. We live in a world that often feels fractured, but David reminds us that trust is the cornerstone. He doesn’t just talk about community; he engineers it. Through his global network of 2,600 connectors and his platform SOAR Connect, David creates immersive frameworks where authenticity and vulnerability aren't just "nice to have", they are the requirements for giving a piece of our soul to others and finding true connection. He is also a recognised classical composer whose music can be found by saying “Alexa–please play the music of David Homan,” with 7 albums and international radio play. His latest project is a film or mini-series about a composer who loses his mind to Alzheimer’s. A Note from Stephanie: Listening to David made me dream bigger. It made me want to double down even more on creating the world I want to see and be a part of. We all have the power to co-create our ideal reality for ourselves and each other; it doesn’t even take that much. Ask yourself today: What can I do for someone else? What will my ripple effect be?

In this powerful episode of WECAN, Stephanie chats with Early Stage Investor and Managing Partner at Transitions First, Marianne Abib-Pech, to discuss how she's redefining investing. Marianne is an extraordinary, unconventional leader who draws power from the uncharted path. As a true systems and transformation thinker, Marianne is federating the right people at the right levels to bring about a vital industrial renaissance for Europe. She is an outlier, investing in a completely underserved area and giving us a front-row seat to an actual systems transformation as it happens. As a results-driven professional who has dedicated the past 10 years to ventures that contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, she understands that Industrial founders lack three things: Talent, Time, and Continued Capital. She is a hands-on investor with a portfolio of 20+ international startups, who lives by the motto: Challenge, Support, and Protect. She acts as a powerful bridge between entrepreneurship and investment, believing that true value creation comes from the ability to connect, communicate, and transform. Marianne is showing us in real time how to lead, how to think, and how to succeed. She is an extraordinary human being with a real sense of what the world needs right now.

In this episode of the WECAN Interview Series, Stephanie welcomes Lyn Lee, author, changemaker, keynote speaker, board member, former Chief DEI Officer at Shell, and global DEI strategist (FTSE 100), who fosters innovation through diversity and champions inclusive excellence. Lyn Lee and Stephanie discuss the philosophy of human-centred leadership. From her humble beginnings on a farm in Singapore to leading global DEI initiatives for a Fortune 500 giant, Lyn’s journey is a testament to the power of authentic, value-driven leadership. In her book, Tiny Rice Grains, human-centred leadership is defined by curiosity, courage, and care. We are currently at a precipice in our social fabric. While technology advances, we will still rely on people for almost everything. Lyn joins us to discuss why getting the "human element" right is the most important work a leader can do. Leadership isn’t about grand gestures; it’s about alignment. As you watch this interview, ask yourself: 1. Who are the 5 humans you can influence today? 2. Where can you show more courage in acting differently and staying aligned with your values?

This is, without a doubt, the most informative episode we have ever released on AI upskilling. Stephanie is joined by Ben Tasker, a recognised leader in AI education and workforce transformation, who brings a uniquely patient, calm, and generous approach to a topic that often feels overwhelming. Ben is a leader at a Data & AI Academy that builds AI fluency and role-based skills across an international workforce to drive measurable business impact. He lays out a clear roadmap for the next 18 to 36 months, explaining why organisations must move beyond "using" AI to truly embed it into their systems to survive our new reality. Previously, Dean of AI at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU), where he launched applied AI certifications supporting over 225,000 learners. Ben has also taught at Northeastern University’s Khoury College, one of the top colleges for AI & Computer Science. We stand at the precipice of a major transformation, and as technology moves fast, our human-centric approach must remain the anchor. If you’ve been looking for a grounded, expert perspective on how to navigate the future of work without losing your humanity, this conversation is for you. Integrate AI into your daily workflows to save time and improve productivity.
