I just subscribed to NextDraft managingeditor.substack.com/… I like @davepell ‘s take on the world. He’s not easily taken in.

This is a ridiculous waste of public money. It’s so cynical to sensationalise performative acts of catching benefits fraudsters when millions could be made by making large corporates and high net worth individuals pay their taxes and not engage in tax avoidance. Absurd.

So all that talk about enticing the over 50s off the golf course would appear to be SO wide of the mark. In fact there’s nearly a third of a million people who are registering as long term sick. The pandemic hasn’t just resulted in long Covid but we are…lnkd.in/eMdwWQpc

“Men want to stay at home with their kids just as much as mothers and they are just as ‘good’ at it. It is society, culture and in particular a lack of support from government which prevents them.” It feels so out of touch to be punting the “mother are m…lnkd.in/ev2VTe9P

I agree. What was wrong with the initial pasta? It looks so thick!!

If you’re thinking about trying to improve the diversity of your leadership team then this podcast points to the answers. It’s great to hear that young women in their 20s are looking to lead but they’re not going to accept cultures which haven’t got flexi…lnkd.in/ezqcW4xv

The question of where have all the senior women gone was put to me earlier this week. This is our answer to that question. lnkd.in/erSV9gJT

Snapshot of me talking about the “double bind dilemma” with Elizabeth Lockwood. Do comment below. Always keen to hear if people can relate to this. lnkd.in/edQWEhrM

I invite you to watch this short video today and, even better, send it to someone who needs to recognise that our flawed ways of assessing leadership potential need to be rethought. Here’s to all the #overlookedtalent on #iwd2023 #boundariedworkers #con…lnkd.in/efQdmsuf

Wow! So pleased to see my book in amongst these fab books! lnkd.in/eTqQdYqH

Delighted to have my book selected by Jonathan Passmore for book of the month. How fitting to hear this on #iwd2023 . The book is a plea to change the system and it’s not about fixing women. The Executive Coaching Consultancy which I founded 30 years ago…lnkd.in/ep5jBbfM

There are occasions when you feel that the work you do really is making an impact. Last week in Zurich was one of them. So much talent, experience and potential fizzing in the room. Such a privilege to do this kind of work. lnkd.in/eTHjZUVN

Did anyone else find this episode of Panorama completely shocking? I thought @Unilever was one of the good guys! Why dint the just employ women managers?

I was shocked watching Panorama on the sexual abuse of female tea pickers in Kenya. Couldn’t believe companies like @Unilever haven’t dealt with this. A simple solution would be only hire women in the manager roles!!

They need to fund this not consult. It’s in everyone’s interest to support early years childcare and education. If you don’t get to kids before school age the discrepancy between the haves and the have nots becomes impossible to level up. We all benefit f…lnkd.in/eeY-Chn3

I thoroughly enjoyed this @OneLoudVoice event where I learned from the insights of the three early and mid-career panelists Harriet CunninghamLilit Mughalyan, ACCA, CFA and @polaroidmagik Tbh when it came to the "experts" on the panel, myself and Melissa…lnkd.in/eqJxjyhJ

It does seem quite obvious that you need to tap into the swell of opinion that wants to tackle the big problems in life. Young people are not happy to have their talent “exploited” in the quest to make a few people at the top wealthy. We describe them as…lnkd.in/eprwcmTs
