Woman looking to create change
Irene Rosenfeld is the CEO of Mondelez International, one of the largest snack companies in the world. With $26 billion in annual sales, they count Oreos and Ritz crackers among their products. So it’s probably safe to say she knows a thing or two about how to manage women (and men!) to create results. When […]
Imagine: Spending your days with inspiring clients, watching them go on to make a massive difference in their communities. Supporting women to step into their power with powerful choices that work for them and their families. Choosing your hours, playing to your strengths and getting paid for what you love to do. Sounds like a […]
Who do you know who’s annoyingly perfect? Maybe it’s a friend who’s given up drinking and carbs for pre-dawn yoga sessions, and looks about ten years younger. An ex-colleague who’s out there killing it and soaking up the praise, while you’re stuck behind the same old desk. Or the mum in the playground frolicking happily […]
Mindfulness is the practice of bringing awareness to the present moment, or what is actually happening. It can be easier said than done – most of us spend a lot of our time either processing what has happened in the past, or projecting and planning the future.

Want to know what marriage is really like? Let me paint you a picture. We’re in the kitchen, when Greg opens the fridge and does a double take. “Why is there so much food in the fridge? Do we have people coming round, or something?” He knows the answer already. I’ve mentioned it at least […]
I was in the boarding lounge at Heathrow Airport, in tears. (Not one of my proudest moments, I have to say) I was crying because I was about to do something amazing. I’d been invited to Sir Richard Branson’s Necker Island for a leadership gathering where I was going to meet Presidential candidates, Nobel Peace […]
Traditional leadership training doesn’t work for many of the women in our community. It might sound controversial, but we believe a different approach is needed if you’re going to have the impact you truly want to (and are capable of!). Think about the leaders who inspire you – the ones who’ve made the biggest difference […]
As women leaders, we can’t control all the criticism or judgment that we’re going to receive from others. It doesn’t matter how big or small your vision is.
