Breaking down age barriers
Is there a 'good' age to be a woman? Statistically no - with women regularly labelled ‘too old’ or ‘too young’ for promotion or career advancement. And when single women over sixty are the most likely group to live in poverty and three-quarters of menopausal women say they feel self-conscious about symptoms at work – something has got to give.
Recorded live at the FW Leadership Summit 2024, in this panel discussion you'll hear from fashion designer Bianca Spender, founder & CEO Taryn Williams, NSW Health Secretary Susan Pearce AM, and menopause specialist, Dr Fatima Khan.

Long time listener. Thank you for the stream of incredible leaders, we love to hear from everyone, not just those in the news-cycle.
Conservatism in disguise
I can’t believe the Australian media keeps churning out this phoney attempt at supporting women and what’s worse is there’s people dumb enough to listen to it.
