For the ambitious women carving out their space in corporate life - especially in industries where the room is still mostly men - this is for you.

You’re talented, capable and driven, yet you may still find yourself navigating challenges that aren’t always spoken aloud:

• Being the only woman in the meeting and feeling the pressure to “prove it”

• Balancing confidence with approachability in ways your peers don’t have to think about

• Having your ideas echoed back by others before they’ve been truly heard and attributed to you

• Looking around and not seeing yourself reflected in those ahead of you - no clear community to belong to and few who lead or balance life the way you hope to

• Managing the invisible emotional load of being the go-to support

• Struggling with unequal access to informal networks or worse, lacking crucial sponsorship in conversations that matter

• Wanting to move up, but unsure how to show your leadership without overworking or burning out

I know these dynamics - not from theory, but from experience.

I’ve spent my entire career in male-dominated environments and I understand the unspoken rules, the subtle hurdles and the internal conversations that come with being a woman who wants more.

This isn’t about blaming men or criticising organisations.

It’s about recognising the reality many women face and supporting them to rise within the structures they’re already contributing to.

At Roots & Sky my ethos is simple: I believe the world needs more women in leadership positions. Not instead of others, but alongside. When women step forward organisations strengthen, communities benefit and decisions become more balanced, more human and more future focused.

Reach out today and let's have a conversation on how we can work together to find your voice, your vision and your path so that you can take that step up to the next level . . . and keep going.
