Why I Fell Out of Love with International Women’s Day - and Why I’m Taking Back Control

2026-02-0622:05

International Women’s Day often leaves us inspired - but unchanged. In this episode, I share why I fell out of love with IWD, despite spending over 25 years working at the heart of recruitment, careers, and leadership.
