Ep 80 Women Role Models: Leadership, Legacy & the Portfolio Path.
In this latest WUN podcast WUN Co-Founder & Director Hayley Monks speaks to some other inspiring female leaders & role models, Rebecca Sedler, Managing Director of National Grid Interconnectors & former WUN Director and Monica Collins, Chair of Powerful Women and who holds several Non Exec. roles.
In a far ranging & fascinating discussion they explore the evolving landscape of female leadership and the growing trend of portfolio careers among women. Are we seeing enough women stepping into visible leadership roles? Or are too many opting for flexible, multi-faceted careers that may dilute their influence in traditional leadership spaces?
Key discussion points:
Visibility & Impact: Do we have enough women role models in leadership across sectors—business, politics, tech, and beyond?
Portfolio Careers: Why are so many women choosing portfolio careers? Is it a sign of empowerment, or a response to systemic barriers in traditional career paths?
Leadership Redefined: How do portfolio careers challenge or complement conventional leadership models?
Role Models for the Next Generation: What kind of role models do young women need today—and are they finding them?
