Description

This podcast series that amplifies the perspectives of women in the consulting industry. Through honest conversations and personal reflections, we explore what it takes to lead, connect, and thrive in a field still striving for gender balance.

Each episode dives into key topics such as parental leave, internal and external networking, and leadership — all through the lens of those navigating the consulting world as women and allies.


This series builds on the work of the More Women in Consulting initiative — a cross-company collaboration launched in 2020 under the Confederation of Danish Industry, which over several years has mapped key challenges and gathered concrete, actionable solutions to drive progress across the management consulting industry. 

Each episode delves into themes such as leadership, networking, parental leave, and equal pay. Through in-depth conversations with industry professionals, we explore what’s working and what still needs to change. 

The foundation of this podcast is the 2024 inspirational catalogue, which presents 8 key initiatives and concrete recommendations for improving gender equality in management consulting.

Anniina shares how her firm is challenging traditional consulting norms—from implementing a four-day workweek to redesigning salary structures and redefining how work is valued....
In this episode, we explore how management consultancy firms can better support employees navigating parenthood and returning from parental leave. What are companies doing to retain returning parents — and what actually works in practice? We’re joined by two guests with very different experiences: one who transitioned back into consulting after parental leave, and one who chose to resign within a year of returning. Together, they reflect on what support made a real difference and what i...
This episode examines a popular initiative for promoting gender balance within the consulting industry: internal women’s networks. While our previous episode focused on external women’s networks, this time we turn the spotlight inward to explore how to build and sustain successful internal networks. These networks play a vital role in fostering connections among female colleagues, but they can also risk implying that the responsibility for addressing gender disparities lies solely...
Your network is your net worth! In this episode, Beyond the Office: The Power of External Networks, we explore how external professional networks can support and advance women’s careers.
