It’s often around 3 am when it begins. There’s not with a sound in the house. A woman wakes suddenly, inexplicably and finds herself unable to return to sleep. The room is quiet. The house is still.

They’ve built incredible careers, contributed to their […]

Where Are Our Female Role Models in Leadership?

You’re focused. Energised. Deeply immersed in something that matters. Time melts away and you lose yourself in the moment; completely present and powerfully alive. That’s flow.
