I'm the CEO of 20-first, a global 'balance' consultancy. I work with C-suite teams to achieve gender and generational balance by focusing on leadership, culture and systems. I facilitate politically incorrect debates that get leaders defining the strategic business opportunities of balance (and risks of not balancing). Books include 'Seven Steps to Leading Gender-Balanced Businesses,' 'Why Women Mean Business: Understanding the Emergence of Our Next Economic Revolution' and 'Late Love: Mating in Maturity.' I engage with issues of leadership and longevity, gender balance (at work and at home), careers and couples. Based in London, I write regularly for FORBES and Harvard Business Review.

It brought together some of the leading voices surfacing the challenges women face in medicine.
On the website, they are collecting the experiences and stories of women across the country. They show that harassment and assault are common and that the impact on staff and morale is huge and largely ignored. Women have difficulty reporting, the systems in place aren’t independent, and most say they fear repercussions. The result? “Guilt, shame, not being believed, loss of professional identity, and humiliation.
But women are the change agents that these systems usually need. They are the majority of the newly arriving talent, the majority of the patients and carers of patients requiring services. Ignore, misunderstand and abuse them at your peril. It’s the system that will fail if they give up on it.on sexual misconduct in surgery are shocking. As leaders of the four surgical royal colleges, we want to send a strong message: these utterly unacceptable behaviours have no place in surgery.
