Be Yourself, Be Kind, Be Courageous: Advice From Successful Women

In this special episode, we bring you a thought-provoking discussion from our 2025 International Women’s Day event.

Featuring an incredible panel of female leaders - Lynda Slavinskis (All The Doo Dah Day), Alex Baldock (Club Bend), and Andrea McKenna (Aintree Group) - this conversation delves into the challenges, progress, and opportunities for women in the workplace and beyond.

Our panelists sparked important conversations about gender equality, workplace flexibility, and the power of collective support. Here are some key takeaways from the discussion:

💡 We’ve made progress, but there’s still work to do – At the current rate, full gender parity won’t be reached until 2158. Change requires ongoing commitment.

💡 Flexibility benefits everyone – Creating more opportunities for women leads to a more inclusive and balanced workplace for all.

💡 The pressure to ‘do it all’ is unsustainable – Women face unrealistic expectations. Change starts with challenging these norms, including what we expect from ourselves.

💡 Kindness over competition – True progress happens when we support each other, foster understanding, and work together for change.
