Episode 1 - Fire Up Your Skills
Hello! Welcome to 2024. After interviewing 40 incredible women 'on Fire' over 40, I was both inspired and aware that we could lose such formidable talent if we don't keep up with the skills needed in the future.
Women are forecast to lose out in the Tech Revolution, and I am not having a bar of it. However we need to find the time to upskill in key areas to navigate a quickly changing world.
I'll tell you more in today's first episode.
Hope you join me for this journey each week.

My Purpose Helping Businesses become B-Corp Certified with Growth Activist CEO Rosanna Iacono
CEO and Co-Founder of the Growth Activists Rosanna Iacono knew she could use her wealth of experience from global brands such as Nike and Levi's to make the world a better place.
Helping businesses become B-Corp certified - a prestigious achievement signifying the business has met rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability - has meant she is doing that in one of the most impactful ways.
Sustainability and ESG transformation is central to most companies strategies, but getting there is complex. That is where the Growth Activists come in.
Turning 40 was one such turning point and her quest to use her business acumen for good took her to become a Board member for numerous Not-For-Profits beginning with Dress For Success. Her leadership journey is enthralling - and it's no surprise it is nowhere near ending with her recently being invite to join Chief Executive Women (CEW).
In a world where you can be anything, being just a little bit as purpose driven and courageous as Rosanna could seriously change things up.
