TSM23-37. The Arena: One Woman’s Story by Carol J. Chumney.



Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Carol J. Chumney, on air from September 12th

NEW BOOK EXPOSES GLASS CEILING FOR WOMEN POLITICIANS AND ELECTION SECURITY VULNERABILITIES

The Arena: One Woman’s Story, about her experiences as a woman in the political arena. In 1991, Carol gained election to the Tennessee state legislature at the age of 29. She passed a landmark childcare reform, as reported in TIME magazine and the New York Times. As a veteran state legislator, experienced trial attorney, and Memphis city councilwoman, in 2007, she came within seven points of being elected the first woman mayor of Memphis.

Women are still not proportionally represented in the U.S. Congress, state legislature, statewide executive and mayor positions in the United States. There has never been a female president of the USA. 

In 1920, American women secured the right to vote. Tennessee was the 36th state necessary to ratify the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Amendment passed by only one vote in the state house. Despite a hundred years of women’s suffrage, there has never been a woman governor of Tennessee. The portraits of 46 men who served as mayor hang on the wall in the Memphis city hall. To date, a female has never been elected mayor of Memphis. In an interview, Carol Chumney will talk about her experiences as a woman in this political arena. She will also address why two things need to happen in order for the doors to open to higher office for women: election reform and a cultural shift away from gender bias. She can talk about: 

  • Gender bias and the “glass ceiling” in 2023 and her motto that “you first have to see it to defeat it”
  • What compelled her to public service
  • Her legislative work on a variety of women’s issues, such as the famous “potty parity” bill (increased the number of restrooms for women in public arenas), sponsoring Tennessee’s first stalking law, and a bill mandating a 48-hour stay in hospitals for new mothers
  • She was responsible for the legislation that dramatically changed Tennessee’s child care laws 
  • Election integrity and the need for election reform 
  • Her work taking the fight for election security to the U.S. Supreme Court and Congress

AK23-37. Ian Hawkins is the stories, storyteller.


An Authors Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest Ian Hawkins, on air from September 12th

When I was really small, my amazing Granny Peg gave me some recordings of stories and got me hooked on storytelling. I knew that when I grew up, that’s what I would want to do.

So I did! I told stories on the radio and television, as well as to big crowds of people who enjoyed what I had to say.

One day I realised that sometimes the stories people tell themselves make them unhappy. Then I thought that if I understood how to change those stories, people wouldn’t be sad any more.

Now I have the best job in the world: I tell stories about stories, helping people make changes in their lives that help them do the things they want to do and make the world a better place.

The power of story

Stories are the software our brains run on. Whatever we do in business or personal life, our achievements depend on the stories we tell ourselves – and allow others to tell about us.

Ian Hawkins is an author and business journalist whose work has appeared on CBS, Reuters and BBC World.

Ian has hosted events in Europe, the USA and Australia, and coached Olympians, cabinet ministers and CEOs.

Born with a debilitating heart condition, Ian spent much of his childhood in hospital. On leaving, he declared that he would refuse to live a boring life. This is a promise he has kept.

On leaving university, Ian wrote for BBC comedy shows including The News Quiz and Loose Ends. On the stand up circuit, he honed his presentation skills in front of live audiences in the UK and NYC and co-authored an acclaimed book on public speaking.

Ian’s abilities as a storyteller led to him taking on senior editorial roles in content creation and business journalism, reporting from the ground on subjects as diverse as pharma labs in Gothenburg to water purification in Nicaragua, whilst dodging muggers in Panama City and filming from a helicopter over an active volcano.

In the COVID pandemic, Ian started a business from his hospital bed which kept him busy throughout and beyond convalescence.

In keynotes, workshops and after dinner, Ian explains why stories are the ‘software’ that our brains run on and how a good story can be a catalyst for incredible change. Ian draws on stories from brands, his experience and films suggested by the audience. Audiences will be engaged, moved and motivated – and given powerful tools to create lasting change in their own lives, businesses and relationships. Expect insight, inspiration and interaction – wrapped up in Ian’s trademark humour.

Ian’s career began at the UK’s largest speaker bureau, working with some of the biggest names on the circuit. At the same time, he was a professional stand up, writing for BBC comedy shows including The News Quiz and Loose Ends.

Business journalism has taken Ian from pharma labs in Gothenburg to water purification in Nicaragua, dodging muggers in Panama City and filming from a helicopter over an active volcano.
