Review by Christina Patterson

“It’s hard to disagree with anything in this book. It’s clear. It’s pithy. It’s enraging.”

Revolting Women

Revolting Women

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

My book , is NOW gracing the shelves of bookshops near you and I could not be more excited to be launching it into the world.

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.
