  • The heroine’s journey – They should have taught us this!
    There is enormous pressure on society today to genuinely demonstrate strategies of diversity and inclusion. However, the numbers show that we are moving very slowly towards any type of equity with women holding only: 14% of Chair roles, 26% of Directorships, 17% of CEOs and 30% of Management. During their 30s and 40s women leave the workforce in droves. But why? Is it the pay gap, education levels or having children? Maybe. But what if the reasons that women do not progress as expected is that there is something else at play. By examining the Heroine’s Journey we see that women often progress through 8 stages before they can truly stand in their power: separation from the feminine, identification with the masculine, the illusion of success, emotional/spiritual aridity, descent to the Goddess, yearning for the feminine, healing of the feminine self and integration of self. This keynote discusses the Heroine’s Journey and provides incredible insights into the stations that women often go through before being their truly empowered self. This indeed should be part of both women and men’s education as they are starting out on learning and career.
