Can women truly see themselves as leaders? Caroline Lamont challenges traditional ideas of leadership, exploring why so many women struggle to see themselves as leaders and how imbalanced expectations can contribute to burnout. Drawing on her experience in women's health, leadership coaching and her own experience of chronic illness and stress, Caroline explores agency, self-leadership, fairness and the value of balancing traditionally masculine and feminine traits. Discover how redefining leadership can help women lead with greater compassion, collaboration and confidence, without sacrificing their wellbeing or themselves. Explore a new approach to authentic leadership for women.
KEY TAKEAWAY
"In order for everything to be more balanced, we need to create the balance in the first place because leadership is what helps us make decisions and leaders are people who set direction."

ABOUT THE GUEST – CAROLINE LAMONT
Caroline Lamont spent two decades in senior advertising roles before a serious health episode in 2012 forced her to stop completely and rebuild from the ground up. That experience became the foundation of her work. She's now a women's leadership coach and founder of Great In Great Out, helping high-capacity women recognise the leaders they already are. Because most women have been taught to lead in ways that don't fit them and that's exactly what burns them out. Her work is about changing that: equipping women with leadership skills that work with their feminine energy, not against it. Because when we don't lead, we drift.
