Amanda Sterling: Fixing Cultures not Women

Spoiler alert: when women leaders leave organisations after having kids, it's not because they "lack confidence" or "opt out." But the reality is, organisations are struggling to recruit and retain women in leadership, and women are struggling to stay.

Dr Amanda Sterling's groundbreaking PhD research exposes how the denial of women's physical experiences (pregnancy, breastfeeding, sleep deprivation, menopause) creates impossible conditions for mothers in leadership.

As a leadership consultant and neuroscience-trained coach, she's calling bull on trying to "fix the women" and instead shows organisations how to fix their cultures so women can thrive in leadership positions, not just in support roles where so many of us get stuck.

Her work has been featured everywhere from Global Women to Radio New Zealand, and she's about to drop some cold, hard truths about what really needs to change to get - and keep - more women in leadership.
