In this episode, we explore what it really means to work politically, and why political savvy is essential for women in leadership. We unpack the differences between politics, influence, and networking, and examine the emotional and cultural barriers that can make engaging with these dynamics feel uncomfortable or inauthentic.

Through real-world examples and reflective questions, we begin to reframe political engagement as a legitimate and necessary leadership capability. This conversation lays the foundation for the companion episode, The Practice of Influence, where we offer practical strategies for navigating power with clarity, confidence and integrity.

Wonder Women: Power Reimagined explores how women experience, express, and redefine power. Join us each week as we unpick old narratives, challenge expectations, and imagine new ways of leading that are grounded, connected, and bold.
