Linda works with organisations that are intent on improving the number of women in senior leadership. She does this by drawing out the best thinking of both women and men to achieve a balanced and strong culture of inclusion, believing that by involving men and women in creating the leaders of tomorrow, we make it a “leadership” issue, not a women’s issue.

• Influencing through others
• Exploring unconscious bias
• Increased job flexibility
• Career partnering
• Understanding behavioural differences
• Meeting room respect
