SPEAKING
I enjoy speaking at conferences and events as part of my mission to support the development of women leaders in the City. One of the subjects I speak about is applying the insights from neuroscience to leadership development. Aligning with the brain's approach to developing relationships, optimising thinking and maximising productivity, for example, allows leaders to achieve better results in a shorter timeframe - whilst creating a balanced approach to both work and the rest of life.
I believe we need "Developed Leaders" who are able to create a balance between the many facets of their leadership role whilst also finding a “brilliant balance” between work and the rest of life.
I am particularly keen to talk to groups of current and aspiring women leaders in the City to assist them in developing the balance – both within their roles and between work and the rest of life – necessary for sustainable careers. This balance has tremendous benefits for both the women themselves and the organisations for which they work.
If you would like to learn more about how I help women become "Developed Leaders", please go here.

Thank you for an outstandingly good talk yesterday. Many of our members go on to lead FTSE companies, and your material was perfectly tailored to their needs; included helpful and memorable tips and was delivered in an engaging way – well done! So, a very successful event all round. I have no hesitation in recommending that we include Catherine’s talk in future programmes at other CIMA Branches
