Great Women in Compliance – Lisa Fine on Change, Culture and Community

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

A few years ago, Lisa committed to doing one solo episode a year, and here is the 2023 episode.  As she prepared (which is always a strange experience as it isn’t for a conversation with someone else, but a soliloquy), this became a theme of “threes” – she talks about 3 topics, all of which start with “C” the third letter of the alphabet.   These are change, culture and community.

In the change section, she gives some spoiler updates on the GWIC 2.0 format, among other things.  She also talks about some of the things on her mind about organizational culture and how that has changed – and not changed – as we continue into a post-pandemic life.  Lastly, in terms of community, she reflects on our E&C community, some exciting upcoming events and her appreciation of all of the support in moving forward from Mary and so many #GWICs.

Corporate Compliance Insights is a much-appreciated sponsor and supporter of GWIC, including affiliate organization CCI Press publishing the related book; “Sending the Elevator Back Down, What We’ve Learned from Great Women in Compliance” (CCI Press, 2020). If you enjoyed the book, the GWIC team would be very grateful if you would consider rating it on Goodreads and Amazon and leaving a short review.  Don’t forget to send the elevator back down by passing on your copy to someone who you think might enjoy reading it when you’re done, or if you can’t bear parting with your copy, consider it as a holiday or appreciation gift for someone in Compliance who deserves a treat.

Ellen Hunt with the 2023 Hunt Report

If CEOs have Larry Fink’s Annual Letter to CEOs, then Lisa has Ellen Hunt’s “Hunt Report.”  Ellen is Principal Consultant Advisor at Spark Compliance and is well known as a mentor and advocate to many in the E&C community.

Ellen has finished her first year as a “Sparkie,” and will update us on how that is going and what she is seeing and learning through her work.  For the past few years, Lisa and Ellen have talked about retaliation and what we can do better to protect people who raise concerns and those who are witnesses in investigations.  While we have seen some improvements, there is still a long way to go.  They also look at this in light of organizational justice and our workplaces.

They also continue the discussions of the past few weeks about kindness, fairness and equality, and how these impact our programs.  This can impact how we collaborate with DEI and ESG teams, to ensure ethical workplaces.

One other way you can improve your workplace is with employee recognition, and Mary’s “Living Your Best Compliance Life” column at Corporate Compliance Insights can provide some great insights on the benefits of doing so and some ideas that can brighten someone’s day.

In this episode, Lisa and Mary kick off the year with a New Year’s Resolution themed-episode discussing what compliance officers should commit to, focus on and/or prioritize in 2023.   They discuss various substantive issues, such as the DOJ statements on ephemeral communications, what they understand and how much they are looking forward to the forthcoming guidance. Mary also discusses some of the recent cases and developments at the end of 2022, and Lisa includes her thoughts about the intersection of ESG and Compliance.  They also discuss the future of remote work in compliance, and how that is impacting the job market.

Damar Hamlin – Lessons in Leadership and Crisis Management

Welcome to the Sports and Compliance podcast. For the longest time, I have wanted to have a podcast on the intersection of Sports and the World of Compliance and Ethics, both for those stories as they play out on the Sports Page and for the lessons they provide to business executives and compliance professionals. In this podcast series, I am joined by one of the top compliance commentators, Stephen Martin, CCO at Skillsoft. Together, we will use our love of sports and competition to discuss current ethical issues in sports, look at compliance through a sports lens, and determine how the world of sports and its stories can guide the compliance professional.

In this episode, we are joined by Lisa Fine, co-host of the Great Women in Compliance podcast, Buffalo, NY native, and uber Buffalo Bills fan. We deep dive into the Damar Hamlin injury from the compliance and leadership perspectives. Our topics include:

  • Lisa’s reflections on the annus horribillus Buffalo had in 2022 and how the Bills are, in many ways they are the city’s glue.
  • How did we all feel watching it in live time?
  • What were the NFL’s policy and procedural failures in crisis response and management?
  • The leadership demonstrated by the coaches and players in the face of being told to return to play.
  • Why verifying information before reporting it is so critical?
  • The role of ESPN.
  • The role of the stadium EMS personnel.
  • This story has united the entire country in a way not seen for some time.

SCCE Roundup with Lisa and Mary

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

The 2022 Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics, Compliance and Ethics Institute took place last week in Phoenix, Arizona.  There was a mix of both in person and virtual attendees with a person presence significantly bolstered compared with the 2021 crowd, the first in person ECI since the pandemic hit.  In 2023 it really felt like things were back and the Great Women in Compliance podcast hosts, Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley, debrief listeners with a roundup of highlights and musings from the conference, as well as handing out a few prized GWICies.

 Lisa and Mary both critically analyze some aspects of the conference and sessions, as well as take their usual lighthearted and informal approach to discussing what they thought went well, where there were areas of opportunity, surprises and how they each dealt with unforeseen challenges – from the beginning of the conference and throughout – including Lisa’s hangry misfortune and Mary nearly causing an international incident at a piano bar.

 Join us for this special joint episode and re-live the conference for those that attended and cure your FOMO for those who were unable to make it.

GWIC x The Ethics Experts-Lisa’s Episode

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

As Lisa and Mary prepare for the end of 2022 with their fall hiatus, they thought they would mix it up by posting their Ethics Experts episodes.  We’ve heard from Mary, and now it’s Lisa’s turn.  In 2021, Lisa finally met Nick Gallo in person at the SCCE conference, and they talk about how they became “conference BFFs.”  In the episode, they talk about the importance of ethical decision-making and how to empower employees to do that.  In particular, they also discuss how to grow and stretch yourself by doing things that scare you, and that’s where Lisa committed to her annual solo episode.

The release date is also the last day of the 2022 SCCE CEI, and Mary and Lisa will be back next week with their joint episode which will include some event highlights.

The Great Women in Compliance podcast is excited to look at topics like this one, and we are always open to suggestions for guests.

Lisa Fine – Do Something That Scares You

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

Eleanor Roosevelt (at least it is attributed to her) said “do something that scares you every day.”  There have been a lot of scary things over the past few years, but the idea of leaving your comfort zone is an important one.  Last November, Lisa told Nick Gallo on the Ethics Experts podcast, that she fears doing solo episodes, and made a vow to herself that she would do that once a year.  It’s August, and here is that episode.

Lisa talks about a few topics.  One thing that is top of mind is what makes a great E&C leader and manager, and she goes through the things that are important to her and what she has learned from her managers and organization leaders.  Not surprisingly, being loyal, listening, and empowering team members to try new ideas are just a few of the qualities of note.

Lisa had also said that she would follow along with Matt Kelly’s lead and try to speak with the Blenderbot AI tool about ethics and compliance.  The discussion started with why pizza dough was important and had some highlights including that lean manufacturing is a tool to help avoid corrupt behavior, a few references to presidential pardons, and ended with blenderbot saying it also works as an attorney for a large corporation as its alter ego.  The discussion highlights the issues of using AI and bots, and shows how it is “learning” from the crowd that uses/takes it over.

Lisa ends with some things on her mind in E&C as we come towards the end of 2022 , and hopes that you enjoy this episode, it makes you think, and that you will reach out with comments and thoughts.
