11: Cindy Gallop on the female voice and female leaders being heard

In this episode, Jane talks to Cindy Gallop about why this is the time for female leadership, and for the female voice to be heard. We talk about why women must take this opportunity and be at the heart of designing the world of work. Because out of adversity comes opportunity and the Covid-19 pandemic is upending and ending the world as we know it, providing for an entire re-think and redesign. Cindy talks about her own career, why taking leaps into the unknown is a good thing, and how she went from Chairman of one of the world’s largest advertising agencies to launching her SexTech start up. She talks about taking issue with Sheryl Sandberg’s advice to Lean In and wants more men to adopt some of the female traits we are often told to hide in the workplace. Like everything Cindy says and does, this interview is straight-talking, full of insight and very honest. Cindy mentions some useful further reading.
