28. Midwife Leadership

Midwives provide stunning leadership learning. Totally fascinating. About how they lead when they are “ in the room”. How they use (or choose not to use) their power, listen hard, build trust,  cope with stress.And about how their voice disappears when they step out of the room and into the wider world. They may well have perfected listening themselves “in the room” but out of it no one listens to them. And yet the voices of many still break through.Through the @ICM and the glorious ICM team Liselotte Kweekel, Charlotte Renard, Shree Mandke, Molly Karp and Ann Yates, I have met many midwives and interviewed for this podcast Olajumoke Adebayo, Nayiga Harriet, Luseshelo Simwinga, Neha Mankani and Sylvia Hamata. .I have loved every minute spent on this episode and learnt a huge amount. I think everyone can.
