Episode 4: Stepping into leadership with Professor Chloe Orkin

This week our guest is our current President, Professor Chloe Orkin. Chloe is a Professor of HIV medicine; working both clinically and academically, running Phase III clinical trials. She is also Athena Swan and EDI lead at her Faculty.

Chloe shares her advice for those getting started on their leadership journeys and shares some really helpful tips on how to chair a meeting. We also discuss the glass cliff and glass slipper that many senior women leaders are subject to.

It’s LGBTQ+ history month and Chloe is our first President from the LGBTQ+ community; what a wonderful way to celebrate the diversity of medical women and that this is an organisation for all medical women.

Chloe’s book recommendation:

Authentic Happiness by Martin Seligman

As always, please keep sharing so we can reach as many medical women as possible.

** NEW ** We have made reflective worksheets for you to use as self-certified professional development which you can find here
