    #255 - How Creating a Supportive Culture Can Help Close the Gender Gap in Business'

    Authenticity might just be your biggest career advantage but it’s often overlooked. In this episode, Laura Leyland, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Fresh Perspective Resourcing chats with Michelle Harness, Managing Director at JMG Insurance Brokers, who shares how she progressed from a part-time role to regional leadership without ever chasing job titles or promotions. Instead, her journey was built on consistency, supporting those around her, and bringing the right energy to everything she did. We explore what truly sets great leaders apart from resilience and mindset to the power of personality and genuine connection. Michelle also talks about the importance of mentorship, backing yourself, and having the confidence to speak up about your ambitions, even when it feels uncomfortable. The conversation also shines a light on the gender gap in leadership, particularly within traditionally male-dominated industries. Michelle shares honest reflections on the subtle barriers women still face, from confidence challenges to workplace cultures that don’t always recognise potential and, more importantly, what can be done to change that. Whether you’re looking to take the next step in your career, lead more authentically, or build a more inclusive and supportive team, this episode offers practical insights and real-life perspective to help you get there. Because success isn’t about fitting a mould, it’s about owning who you are and using it to your advantage. Follow Us & Stay Fresh: LinkedIn | Instagram YouTube | TikTok | Website
