The Lightning Round: Surprise Listener Questions for Mary and Lisa


Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley. Lisa and Mary welcome listeners back to a new season with hot seat questions put forward by their audience without time to prepare. They also give a spoiler alert for their next joint episode as something to look forward to and think about your submissions for the future. Here are the questions Lisa and Mary tackled in this episode:

  • How do you continue to learn in order to stay on top of things in your role?
  • “If your ideal compliance leader was an animal, which animal, and why?”
  • When did you realize that GWIC has grown from the podcast to a larger community? Was there a moment for you?
  • If you had an extra $10k and had to spend it within the month- what would you do (personal or professional)?
  • As someone who is a global traveler, when you get to go home to New Zealand, once you recover from the flight, what is the first “local”/hometown thing you want?
  • Is it ever okay for an E&C investigator to employ deception when interviewing a subject? I’ve worked at companies that allow very limited exceptions and others that say “never.” A common exception involves a subject who might figure out who the reporter is (and then retaliate against her/him). As we seek to do everything and anything possible to prevent retaliation against reporters, the investigator might say to the subject during an interview (in a situation where the internal reporter is known to the investigator), “Please make no effort to guess or otherwise identify the reporter. Doing so risks violating our anti-retaliation policy. The reporter may be anonymous or from outside the company–it doesn’t matter. The bottom line is, you must refrain from trying to determine or conclude who it is.” Of course, nothing in this example is a lie, but it is deceptive given the investigator knows the reporter isn’t external or anonymous. Certain countries may have laws or regulations that answer this question but, importantly, the standards of an E&C investigation–at least in the United States–are not the same as a government-led investigation. Also, many E&C investigators are not licensed attorneys, so there are no “licensed professional” restrictions to consider. So, , do you think it’s okay for an E&C investigator, in rare and previously identified instances, to deceive an interviewee when doing so likely could have a material effect on protecting a reporter from retaliation?
  • What’s the biggest area (related to your current role) you are curious about and why?
  • What are some of the things you are researching right now? (Could be personal- could be professional, could be vague)
  • If there was one thing you could change about the way Compliance is perceived by people outside the profession, what would it be?
  • We often hear of the importance of the birds and the bees. But in the compliance world, if you could only pick the attributes of one, which would it be and why?

We hope that you enjoyed this episode and welcome any feedback you may wish to send in to gwicpod@gmail.com.
For those of you in the northern hemisphere, it is the season for beach reads and you may be traveling after a long break.  For your time off, you can pick up a copy (or download)  “Sending the Elevator Back Down: What We’ve Learned from Great Women in Compliance” (CCI Press, 2020).If you’ve already read the booked and liked it, will you help out other women to make the decision to leverage off the tips and advice given by rating the book and giving it a glowing review on Amazon?

Lisa Fine on the One-Year of Covid


Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
In last week’s episode, Mary talked about her rants and raves, and when Lisa listened to that episode, it was so interesting and thought provoking that Lisa was inspired to comment on the discussion that Mary started and provided her own thoughts.
Lisa had a front-row seat when Mary endured the misogynistic situation she discussed, and was shocked by it at the time, and also surprised that the same individual reached out to her! Lisa thought a lot about how your generation impacts how you view misogyny and how one responds (spoiler alert: Lisa is Gen X, and is more resigned to the behavior, and admires how Mary identified it so quickly and addressed it).
Lisa has also thought a lot about the term “thought leader,” and what that means to her. We all have the ability to be thought leaders, whether it is visible through LinkedIn, in your work, or just within our community. In other words, you don’t have to be recognized publicly as a thought leader to be one.
Lastly, she talks a bit about how this is the 1-year anniversary of COVID-19 for her and most of the US, and where she thinks we are, where things are going, and reminds us to be kind to ourselves, each other and our E&C community.
And, on that note, we hope that you will contribute your thoughts and opinions for the podcast for the 100th episode, coming soon.
We like to share advice and tips on the podcast via our learned guests but some things don’t have immediate answers, including some aspects of what we’ve canvassed today. If you’d like to share your thoughts on the issues raised, we invite you to connect with us at GWICpod@gmail.com.
The Great Women in Compliance Podcast is proudly featured on the Compliance Podcast Network and sponsored by Corporate Compliance Insights. If you enjoyed this episode please subscribe to the podcast and rate it on your podcast player to help other compliance professionals find it. Want to hear more from us? We have a book, “Sending the Elevator Back Down: What We’ve Learned from Great Women in Compliance” (CCI Press, 2020) which is available on Amazon.com and Book Depository.

Lisa and Mary also note that they always appreciate feedback on the podcast, potential guests, and topics to discuss, and solicit any thoughts from listeners.
