Walk Tall, the career podcast brought to you by Carolina Herrera has launched its first episode.
The podcast speaks to guests who are icons in their industry – from an Olympic hero to a mental wellness legend – to share their tips, tools and takeaways for defining success on your own terms.
The show will empower the next generation of women to reach their full potential in the workplace, following in the footsteps of Carolina Herrera herself.
Over the last four decades, Carolina has become one of the world’s most distinguished fashion and beauty designers described as “the ultimate role model for what it means to be a strong, modern, and dynamic woman” by Good Girl Ambassador Karlie Kloss. Her legacy provides inspiration for all young women with ambitions to achieve their best and break through barriers in business.
Author and content creator Toni Tone will kick off the series by speaking with Olympic Athlete, Katarina Johnson-Thompson, who most recently won gold at the Commonwealth Games, in Birmingham.
In Katarina’s first interview since her win, the pair explore the topic ‘playing the long game’, sharing an insight into the mind of an Olympic Athlete, the importance of perseverance, self-belief, and how to stay motivated.
Katarina tells Toni: “I think goal setting is definitely important. But, also with your ultimate lifetime goals, don’t feel like they have to happen straight away. I burst onto the scene in 2012 and didn’t win a World Championships medal until 2019.
“It’s important to remember that everyone’s journey is different, and if your goals aren’t happening at the rate that you want, have patience and know that everyone’s timeline is different. I think that’s important in your mentality and approach to business. And also – small goal setting. Just making sure that what you do every day is ultimately helping towards your bigger goal.”
Guests in the upcoming series include Abi Omole and Mikaela Jackson, Poppy Jamie and Felicity Hayward.
Host Toni Tone says: “Whether you’re just starting out in your career journey or you’re in need of a little confidence boost at work, this podcast is like your very own personal, portable career coach. It’s been a joy to speak to such inspirational women across industries.”
