Between sessions and conversations, a moment in Paris. The last few weeks have been intense and rewarding — working with new clients on communication, presence and impact. Hearing how their messages are landing differently now is always the best part of the job. #Communication #Impact
This #InternationalWomensDay a reminder: women don’t need to apologise for taking up space. No softening the point. No self-deprecating preface. No shrinking for fear of being seen as too much. Our voices, ideas and leadership belong in the room. Own the space. 💜
The theme for #HMD2026 is #BridgingGenerations — a reminder that remembrance is now our responsibility. Today I remember my grandfather, Werner Scholem (1895–1940), a former German Reichstag member, executed in Buchenwald for standing up to Nazi oppression.

First impressions happen fast. Our brains size people up in seconds—are you a threat, a friend, or someone to follow? You don’t need to be perfect. Just: ✔ Show up with intention ✔ Let body language speak for you ✔ Be real—authenticity lands How you show up matters. #Impact
A few thoughts following an insightful panel discussion at this year’s event, a collaboration between #WomenoftheYearAwards and #NewnhamCollegeAssociates #WomenSupportingWomen #WomenEmpoweringWomen
Confidence is not arrogance. I often find when working with clients to help them sell their ideas or themselves, this fear of sounding arrogant holds them back. Confidence is not about inflating your worth; it’s about accurately recognizing it. #ImpactSkills
