Hearts+Minds
The Hearts + Minds podcast covers everything from relationships and lifestyle, routines and habits, kids and colleagues to meaningful work, core values, spirituality, and God. We like to keep the tone light and conversational while dealing with topics that go well beyond the surface. Sometimes we bring up topics which overlap faith and life in a way to suit the unspiritual and devout alike. Wherever you’re at on your spiritual journey, this podcast should speak to you. Join us as we delve into life — the ordinary, relational, inner, and spiritual.
We’re delighted you’re here.

#77 | Olivia Darby - Women and leadership in the developing world
Our Guest on our Podcast series Olivia Darby co-founded the charity Wonder in 2009 where she is now the Chief Programme Officer. WONDER is a woman-led charity dedicated to transforming the lives of women, girls and their communities through quality education.
From small beginnings, WONDER now works to deliver change in 23 countries worldwide. Olivia shares with us her passion for Leadership education for women in the Developing world. She tells us about what inspired her to work in development education and the moment she became the first employee of WONDER. She discusses the focus of WONDER on smaller, professional projects. And that the flourishing of individual women in their local communities is the big success story of WONDER. We discuss listening and serving as the big qualities of leadership. We explore the challenges of migrant integration. She discusses the importance of inner motivation for those you work with and serve. WONDER is about partnering with women in developing countries, giving them agency and collaborating together to create change for the better for women and their local communities. And we finish on the maxim that if one person benefits - it is enough.
