Implementing a gender mainstreaming strategy requires more than just policy; it demands consistent, deliberate action that drives real-world impact. In this leadership podcast for change-makers, we sit down with Colleen Larsen, founder of Business Engage, to explore how she transitioned from financial services to spearheading corporate transformation across Africa. Colleen shares her "velvet glove" approach to organizational change, bridging the gap between boardroom objectives and grassroots empowerment. We discuss how her philosophy drives progress toward UN SDG 5 gender equality goals, while drawing parallels to Heifetz and Linsky's adaptive leadership (Harvard Kennedy School) framework in navigating complex corporate landscapes. This episode offers a masterclass in resilience, strategic thinking, and the power of "letting go" to make space for growth.
