Today I’m joined by Lauren Currie (OBE) Founder of UPFRONT and Host of the podcast UPFRONT Moment with Lauren Currie.UPFRONT is an organisation dedicated to changing confidence, visibility, and power for 1 million women and non-binary people. The idea was born of Laurens own frustration with the lack of women speakers and the dominance of all-male panels at conferences. She’s been doing this work since 2016 and wherever she goes, it’s her aim to take other women with her and amplify their voices. She and the UPFRONT team do this through Bonds (6-week course), The UPFRONT Global Community Bond (their membership community), and content.Besides running UPFRONT, Lauren’s also a CEO, a speaker and the Trustee and Chairperson of Pregnant Then Screwed, an organisation dedicated to ending maternity discrimination.She’s been building businesses since she graduated from University. She was CEO and co-founder of Stride; a digital platform on a mission to democratise leadership development. She co-founded Snook, one of the UK’s leading service design agencies when she was 23. She was the Managing Director of NOBL Collective in the UK and Europe. And before that, she was Director of Design at Good Lab.Lauren’s work has been featured in The Guardian, Design Week, and Creative Review and she was awarded an OBE for services to design and diversity. She’s been named “woman changing the world under 30” by ELLE magazine, “one of the UK’s top businesswomen under 35” by Management Today, and "one of the UK's top 50 Creative Leaders" by Creative Review.Essentially, she’s a ridiculously impressive and even more ridiculously kind and supportive woman!In this episode we discuss:How to trust yourself to do the thing that feels like the oneTesting an idea with a post-it on the back of a toilet doorHow to redress your lack of confidenceThe most important thing you need to know about imposter syndromeWhy you need to double your price, nowLinks:Follow Lauren and UPFRONT on Instagram - @_laurencurrie_ and @upfrontglobalCheckout UPFRONT - https://weareupfront.comSign up for Bond 7 - https://bond7.weareupfront.comCoupon code for 10% off Bond 7 for NMFG listeners is - NOTMYFIRSTGUESSJoin Laurens free Masterclass on May 11th - https://workshop.weareupfront.comListen to the UPFRONT Moment Podcast - https://weareupfront.com/podcastVisit Pregnant Then Screwed - https://pregnantthenscrewed.comThe Good Lab - http://www.thegoodlab.co.uk/Valentina Milanova’s Episode - https://open.spotify.com/episode/4jfFTiaD2hRyiuCHUaproV?si=qlUCRHE_TCuHPEEEtBxT1Q
