<p>In this episode, <a href="https://www.steveshirley.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dame Stephanie Shirley</a> CH (the CH is for Companion of Honour) — a German-British software pioneer, businesswoman, and philanthropist — chats with Damian about making an entirely new kind of business for an untapped category of worker (women with household and caretaking responsibilities) before there was a model for either. And, as remote work proliferates now, she shares what she learned from designing a remote workforce 70 years ago. She also talks about prioritizing mental health, how to better support employees, and how she fought for a future that’s more fair.</p><br><p>Dame Stephanie Shirley's great autobiography is called <a href="https://www.steveshirley.com/books/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Let it Go: My Extraordinary Story</a>.</p><br><p>Get your free WeTransfer pro account here: <a href="https://wetransfer.com/sign-up?coupon=fToaGeQ3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">we.tl/damesteve</a></p><br><p>Influence is a production of <a href="https://wetransfer.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">WeTransfer</a>, produced in association with <a href="https://www.reasonablevolume.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Reasonable Volume</a>.</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
