How essential is gender balance for business success? Does your workplace view challenges as growth opportunities? After a health crisis, Kathy Coleman shifted from a “just get on with it” mindset to valuing the vital role of emotional intelligence and gender balance in thriving organisations. Now through her work in gender balance and corporate transformation, Kathy emphasises the importance of balanced leadership traits for success, happiness, and well-being. Challenging the status quo and redefining workplace dynamics to foster a more fulfilling professional life, Kathy pioneers a different approach to gender balance: one that delivers transformational change for individuals, organisations and bottom-line profit.
 
KEY TAKEAWAY
‘A more feminine approach is not just let's be clear about why we want to do this, but also let's enjoy the journey of getting there, and let's make it mean something for people, not just for profit.’
 
ABOUT KATHY
Kathy Coleman spent over three decades delivering transformative change programmes on behalf of CapGemini, Deloitte and EY. Conforming to the traditional masculine characteristics of leadership took its toll and Kathy suffered a severe health scare. Inspired by her own journey and recovery Kathy now champions a paradigm shift that allows women (and men) to embrace their feminine leadership traits and find success, happiness and wellbeing from a more balanced and authentic place.

Tired of the corporate world grind? From burnout to brilliance, Ben Wales was once there, but he found his calling in guiding values-driven founders/CEOs and their teams from high performance to high transformation accelerating both the growth and impact of their companies. At the core of Ben's practice is his desire to enable leaders and teams to reach their full potential because they are growing the companies that create opportunities in our communities. Shifting into his zone of genius, and aligning his actions with values, now with his B Corp, Ben focuses on making a positive impact to people, planet and profit.

‘B Corporations operate with more than just the profit motive, they have a triple bottom line. So they consider people, planet and profit in every decision and that's really important to me.’
 
ABOUT BEN
Originally a rocket scientist, Ben pivoted into a 19-year career growing scale-up companies in London & Stockholm during which he regularly noticed, but couldn't fully explain, the emergence of transformational team performance at critical moments.
