Nurain Janah on how to influence in the boardroom as a young director

This week’s dose of audio inspiration comes from our latest guest, Nurain Janah. 

Nurain is an amazing young person with a dedicated passion for change. She has already achieved so much in a short period of time – with no signs of slowing down.

Nurain combines a day-job as a senior consultancy with Ernst & Young NZ with her superpowers of social entrepreneurship, multiple board governance and advisory roles, as well as acting as a conduit for the voices of young migrant women, and women of colour.

Or listen on iTunes and Android.

Paul and Nurain go deep on a number of topics, such as:

• The barriers faced by young migrant women in society, work and the boardroom

• The definition of cultural competency

• How to create a culture where individuals feel empowered to be authentic

• How New Zealand has blended First Nations and European cultures

• How to begin influencing when you’re new and ‘different’

• The pros and cons of board quotas

• Is legislative diversity a valuable tool in reaching the ultimate goal?

• And, what words of advice does Nurain have for outsiders who know they would be beneficial to the boardroom, but don’t know how to get there?
