Revolting Women - Why midlife women are walking out and what to do about it

My new book, is drawing on my research that fills a longstanding data gap.

Professional women over 50 are faced with a triple-whammy of discrimination: they are not male,young or linear in their career paths. As a result , they are leaving corporate life and taking their careers into their own hands. And with it, they take their abundant wisdom, energy and ambition.

This book shows that assumptions about declining midlife motivation and energy just aren’t true for women and reveals how you can retain and develop this invaluable talent pool with a better understanding of their challenges and a few simple changes.

Its a key read for any who have experienced this or want to change the diversity approach within their business.

Lunchtime Learning
for Leaders

So enjoyed writing this book is and is gracing the shelves of bookshops NOW!

Distilling twenty years of learning from over 10,000 global leaders into one book is no mean feat, but I managed it. This book is the product of a lifetime spent in the company of some of the world’s most influential and inspiring leaders (and tea...lots of tea). A medley of the latest leadership research, psychology and neuroscience, it serves up 16 key topics that can be easily absorbed and put to use. 

In short, it’s the inspirational leadership mentor you can keep on your bedside table. 

WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE OF?

It’s a simple enough question. One that every ambitious, forward-thinking professional should ask themselves regularly. Without this question, we’re just going in circles. 

But with it, we’re ascending a staircase.

As an expert in leadership and coaching, I ask my clients (and myself) this question all the time. What’s the next goal you’d like to reach? Where do you want your career to go next? What does tomorrow look like? It’s a line of questioning loaded with promise. I take this promise and help you translate it into the missing bit of brilliance that will help to catapult you to the next exciting stage of your career using my well-honed, evidence-based approach and lifetime of experience.

You know what holds a lot of people back from this brilliance? Jargon. Jargon is the worst. It gets in the way, and, frankly, the world could do without it. Together, we’ll cut through that stodgy corporate terminology and help you find your voice, develop your sense of presence, and learn how to lead with passion and insight. Anybody who claims personal development is easy is perhaps exaggerating, but it is a transformative process that needn’t be difficult. A collaboration with me will show you how accessible confidence, tangible impact and the harnessing of your natural talent really is.

I don’t tend to hang my reputation on numbers, but having trained 10,000 leaders across 29 countries, I like to think I know what I’m doing. 

Let’s climb that staircase. You’ve seen all there is to see down on the ground floor. 

Things I’m great at: 

ONE-TO-ONE COACHING

One-to-one means you and me, huddled away from distraction and noise, plotting the first steps of your journey towards self-discovery and transformation. Balancing the academic with the practical, you’ll have access to my series of empowering coaching programmes that will elevate your career path. 

 

WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP

I firmly believe that there’s never been a better time to be a woman in a leadership role than right now. Working with other women puts me in my absolute element, and it’s a personal joy to help them overcome the systemic hurdles that have historically kept them out of leadership roles. Let’s keep turning that tide. 

 

PUBLIC SPEAKING

Great public speaking is the purest example of that old mind-over-matter adage: get your head in the right space, and the world is your oratorical oyster. Using a unique six-step process, I develop your impact, flip your mindset, and equip you with the skills you need to finely tune your public speaking skills. 

 

The Resilience Audit

Resilience. A critical word to wrap your head around any day of the week, and it’s an essential part of your personal development. It’s the key to understanding what you can and cannot control. It’s only through total honesty with ourselves that we’re able to action positive change. Trust me on this one.
