While speaking at a post-Davos conference in St Moritz, Switzerland earlier this year, I brought attention to the most important business ally you have: The body. The body communicates with you constantly, sending signals and feedback about your physical and mental well-being. But that’s only the tip of the iceberg. It’s a game changer that allows you to move beyond the scarcity model that is so prevalent in business today into one of understanding that there is enough.

Most millennials and above, including me, were raised with so many patriarchal values and unconscious gender biases. Without a doubt, there needs to be more women in positions of power, and I will do everything I can to help make this happen. However when I give talks in women’s conferences around the world, I make a point to remind my fellow sisters to be compassionate and understanding toward men who fear women moving up the corporate ladder.

The highly anticipated “Recipe4Health” study, reported in a recent article in HCPLive, has unveiled compelling evidence that a nutritious diet, rich in fruits and vegetables, can profoundly impact cardiovascular health and address social determinants of ill-health. This landmark research, presented at the prestigious American Heart Association Epidemiology and Prevention│Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Scientific Sessions in March 2024, followed 5,286 middle-aged individuals for a year, providing them with free weekly deliveries of fresh produce and educational sessions. The results are nothing short of remarkable. Participants experienced significant improvements in their dietary habits, increased physical activity levels, and a notable reduction in food

If you are leading from scarcity, your leadership model is based upon domination and submission. This may work short term, but fear is not a sustainable way to lead. Expanding your reality allows you to see things you never saw before. It gives you a confidence to trust the future. To lead from within. It’s the opposite of business as usual. This is what feminine leadership is all about.

How did Whitney Wolfe Herd, the youngest female self-made billionaire, make Bumble Inc. into a billion-dollar brand? By trusting her gut. She understands that her body is her most valuable business partner. In her own words: “Being able to put your blinders on, ignore negative opinions, and follow your strong intuition is what’s validating to me.

I love that Leena Nair, formerly at Unilever as head of human resources, and now at Chanel as CEO, is going beyond gender bias and is now advocating for a new kind of leadership, based on compassion, empathy, kindness, and benevolence. It’s not that she isn’t a champion for gender balance. During her time at Unilever the share of female managers increased to 50%, from 38%. But she understands it’s all about mentoring and supporting women in self-confidence and self-belief, encouraging them to step up. And most of all, helping the men understand that there’s space for both. At the end of

Effective leadership isn’t just about driving profits or achieving targets; it’s about fostering a culture of holistic well-being, starting with oneself. As we delve deeper into the principles of feminine leadership, invaluable insights challenge conventional norms. One such principle emphasizes the vital connection between personal health and professional success. Don’t sacrifice your well-being for the sake of business. True prosperity stems from a balanced approach. Self-care isn’t a luxury but a necessity. It’s not sustainable to compromise your health in the pursuit of business goals.

We all want to encourage more women to take on leading roles. It’s easy to say words about what NEEDS to be done. But to actually do this requires a shift in consciousness. How do you do this? Firstly, by revealing the deeper cut of what is creating and perpetuating this dynamic. It is

The results have been transformative – from shedding pounds and extra baggage to glowing skin and mental clarity. But this detox was about more than just physical changes. It shifted mindsets to understand that food is medicine. 🍎 Rather than relying on pills it shows you can reclaim your health through the power of fruits, leafy green, vegetables, and clean eating. Detoxing is far greater than eating healthy — it needs to be sustained over a period of time to allow the body to do a deeper clean of its organs. This is why doing it in a group is

The New Principles of Feminine Leadership are needed more than ever. In a world marked by growing division and polarization, it’s crucial to remember the importance of unity and collaboration. As we champion women’s rights and strive for equality, let’s keep a bigger picture in mind. Women are leading the way towards progress, but true leadership isn’t about emulating traditional models based on division and conquest.
