Denise Tuke and Lindsay McLoughlin guest on The Business Show on Marlow FM 8th September 2022

On The Business Show on Marlow FM on 8th Sept 22, Lindsay McLoughlin of the Athena Network and Denise Tuke of DT Career Coaching joined me to talk about their respective businesses, and to discuss a range of business news stories.

The show was recorded on the day of the death of Queen Elizabeth II but while we were broadcasting we didn’t know that. 

My first music was for Denise – Blondie’s “Denis” was close!  Listen at https://youtu.be/ahGxiSV_LH0.

I spoke to Lindsay about The Athena Network, including why it’s OK to have a networking group just for women. Denise then talked about DT Career Coaching which also focuses on women as clients, but who will work with men too!

“Treat People With Kindness” by Harry Styles was Denise’s choice, because that’s what she wants everyone to do.  And because her daughter told her to choose it.  Hear it at https://youtu.be/L0X03zR0rQk.

Her business story was https://www.bbc.com/news/business-62638908 - what is “quiet quitting” and how can it be avoided?

Lindsay chose Heather Small’s “Proud” because it sums up Athena for her.  Listen at https://youtu.be/OygsHbM1UCw.

Her story can be found at https://amp-theguardian-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/amp.theguardian.com/business/2022/sep/02/selfridges-wants-half-of-transactions-to-be-resale-repair-rental-or-refills-by-2030.  Wow!  They really are leading the way!

My story is at https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-62688215 but it tied in nicely with Lindsay’s story at https://www.bbc.com/news/business-62764121 and Denise’s story at https://amp.theguardian.com/business/2022/aug/31/john-lewis-offers-staff-free-food-over-christmas-to-help-with-cost-of-living which were all about the impact on businesses of the cost of living, so we discussed them all together.

I closed the show with a song for Lindsay – Sudan Archies, with “Pelicans in the Summer”.  Why?  Because it’s from their album called Athena.  Listen at https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=0XDm_tvLto8.
