We might just save the world… Reflections on the CMI Women in Leadership Conference
I recently attended my first in-person Chartered Management Institute (CMI) Women in Leadership conference, themed “Divide or Prosper.” The event featured inspiring speakers, with key takeaways including the importance of modelling behaviour to drive change, recognising the underestimated power of “Queenagers” (women 45+ with leadership and financial influence), and supporting women rising through the ranks. The conference emphasised cognitive diversity as essential for innovative problem-solving in today’s world.
