In this episode, Ashanti Bentil-Dhue talks to Julie Dennis, a menopause in the workplace specialist who has partnered with various organisations across the UK to help create positive behaviours, and conversations around menopause, In helping to make sure that anyone working through menopause is able to stay on track with their career.

“ Learning to say no early on, when it's not your specialism or making a decision. Are you going to be a DNI generalist, or are you going to be a DNI specialist like I am? I specialise in menopause in the workplace. But what I have done is created a network of referral specialists, so when I'm asked to talk about topics that I am not competent in, I don't try and wing it, or say yes. Knowing I've got a competent professional expert that I can share that work with. So learning to say no, recognising your boundaries and creating that referral network, I think are absolutely crucial to be successful in this space.” 

 

Episode Highlights:

 

• Changes in the way menopause is being addressed in the workplace.

• What skills do you need to develop to be a good practitioner?

• Advice for people aspiring to be a part of history.
