Inspiring others to take action to close the gender gap in leadership

Paula challenges her audiences to close the leadership gap and mend the broken rung in corporate career ladders.  

In a talk filled with humour and empathy, Paula will challenge what you might think is behind the gap in men's and women's careers (it’s not having babies!) and offer tangible and actionable solutions for both female staff and their leaders.  And you will learn why girls staying bossy is good for business.
