We need more women in leadership across all walks of life. However, in our traditionally male-dominated world, women aspiring to or holding positions of power face unique challenges.
I think this [Wargame] shines a light on the threadbare nature of the UK’s conventional defences.
I am looking forward to sharing the skills and experiences I gained over many years of political leadership, as well as an insight into the lessons I learned along the way.
I am delighted to be taking part in the Corridors of Power TPDF Masterclass to help a new generation of female leaders overcome these challenges.
