Margarita Derelanko – She’s Going Places

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.

In late 2018, Mary and Lisa began advertising the launch of the Great Women in Compliance podcast, which would air on 6 December 2018.  Margarita Derelanko was one of the people who saw the marketing collateral and grew excited about the incoming podcast.  She affords Lisa and Mary the opportunity to hear what the launch of the podcast was like from the other side of the fence – the to-date missing aspect of their origin story – what the listenership was thinking and how the podcast was received.  Margarita shares how the podcast has impacted her life, including her takeaways from having her first article published, and the benefits she has gained from the encouragement of the hosts and guests.

Unlike many of the GWIC and certainly unlike Mary and Lisa, Margarita had the opportunity to choose whether or not to be in Compliance and she shares what it’s like for the new generation to consider joining the field – spoiler alert, Compliance Destiny appears yet again!  It’s a real thing folks!

Margarita shares some advice for helping to overcome biases when you don’t look like you fit the part.  She is of very small stature and is lucky enough to have youthful looks – causing some to make unfair judgments.  Listen in for how she overcomes the biases and consider how you can turn some of your perceived greatest weaknesses into a strength.

Following on from Mia Reini’s tips for putting together an engaging line up for the The Home Depot’s Compliance Summit, Margarita lends some tips from her experience on the planning team for the Waud Capital Partner’s Compliance Symposium to have a successful event.

Donna Schneider on Crucial Conversations

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.

Even if we weren’t in Compliance, the need to hold difficult conversations is part and parcel of participating in life in the human race.  And it’s also true that Compliance Officers sometimes need to deliver bad news or talk people out of ideas they are very attached to.  These responsibilities can lead to the need to invite important stakeholders to a crucial conversation with complex emotions involved.  Donna Schneider returns to the GWIC podcast to give us a lesson on Crucial Conversations after teaching courses on this topic in the past.  Since Donna last appeared on the show, she has been busy with her Compliance portfolio and shares an update on what she’s been up to with respect to risk assessments.

 Donna shares her best tips for successfully navigating difficult conversations and difficult people on the other end.  Mindset is key and Donna sets us up for success from this perspective.  She outlines some of the pitfalls that can be problematic for miscommunication and misunderstanding between people to help you avoid some of the common mistakes that are made, leading to fraught feelings.  If you’re interested in improving your communication with all stakeholders in your life and increasing successful outcomes in challenging conversations, this episode is just for you!

Shannon Walker – A Holistic Approach to Raising Concerns

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.

A critical topic for any ethics and compliance program is the ability for employees to raise concerns – from the initial speak-up process to the interview to the potential for retaliation: Shannon Walker, the founder, and CEO at WhistleBlower Security, Confidential Ethics Reporting & Case Management Solutions.

Shannon started in communications for large organizations in the US and Canada. She founded WhistleBlower Security with a vision to make the process easier and more comfortable for reporters while protecting organizations.  Lisa and Shannon have a wide-ranging conversation about the differences between telephone and online reporters, a provider’s responsibility to reporters and how that relates to their responsibilities to an organization and different ideas about how organizations can best “triage” in all parts of the investigation cycle.

Shannon has always been committed to diversity and ESG, and she also talks about how becoming a “B Corp” has been a great learning process and an excellent accomplishment.

Archana Shastri-Isn’t She Lovely

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.

Mary met Archana Shastri on her first day of work as Legal and Compliance Counsel at Tata Communications in Singapore in 2010.  The two were peers and became fast friends, bonding quickly as two of the quieter colleagues and, in fact, the only two Compliance colleagues in the Singapore headquarters.

 Archana, though now a Singaporean citizen, originally hails from India, and Mary asked Archana about some of the country’s cultural characteristics that might be of interest to Compliance Officers.  Archana also generally shares an update on the Asia Pacific region and comments on levels of activity from some of the local Compliance regulators and authorities.

 Mary asked Archana what she would like European and US-headquartered companies to know about the Asia Pacific region – Mary wholeheartedly stands behind Archana’s points on this one!

 Archana also details what it was like to study for her Master’s Degree in Anti-Corruption studies, a course based in Vienna.

 Archana wraps up the episode with some general commentary on the state and development of data privacy law in the Asia Pacific region.

Wendy Badger-Compliance from Soup to Nuts

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.

Mary and Lisa end the second GWIC semester with Wendy Badger. Wendy is Global Compliance Counsel at Tennant Company, where she oversees their global ethics and compliance program. She has worked in-house and in law firms, taking her experiences from one space and applying them to others. She is also an author, regular speaker, friend, and mentor to many – and one of the “OG GWICS” who has made this community grow.

Lisa and Wendy discuss a number of different topics, starting with remote investigations, which is top of mind for many of us these days. They talk about pitfalls, lessons learned, and some practical tips, including one from Wendy about how she makes interviewees more comfortable. They also talk about the impact of remote work on networking over the past few years, focusing on women and how that may change as the world continues to open up.

Wendy also shares some of her favorite advice and how she has made some of that advice her own. She also told Lisa what has now become one of the best stories about public speaking on the podcast!

GWIC is going on vacation for the next few weeks but will be back on July 20. We hope everyone remembers to take some time off – whether off social media, off from work, or just time for yourself.

Jill Atstupenas-Hadley Maeve


Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
Trigger warning: This episode contains a baby loss story and theme.  The Great Women in Compliance Podcast often covers instances of “doing the right thing”.  We’ve previously done it regarding respect and dignity in the hiring process and today’s episode focuses on empathy and compassion by employers when employees suffer a tragedy.  Jill Atstupenas shares her and her husband’s story of losing their dearly desired baby girl, Hadley Maeve and provides some thoughtful considerations for how managers and company staff more broadly can respond in a way that shows support for the colleague and lets them know they are a valued member of staff.  Her ideas are practical, tangible and actionable items that will guide managers who truly care about their staff.  The title of today’s episode is our tribute to Hadley Maeve.
Jill also discusses how peers and other colleagues can help a colleague going through a difficult time to navigate it so that even if you’re not a manager, you can walk the walk of being a beacon of integrity in an organization.
We end the episode with Jill discussing some of the differences for Compliance Officers transitioning from a well-established large company, to a smaller one with less of a history.
