Hi I'm Bry & I'm on a mission to find out why our male peers always seem to get promoted before us! I'm a mum, sister, wife & high performance coach. I am obsessed with the lack of women on Boards, can you be ambitious AND a woman? Yes. So what's stopping us? Get ready to be inspired and amused. Hear the women & men I interview on route to a Board seat, sitting on a Board or chasing it through failure, struggle and success and how they have navigated power, male dominance and glass ceilings. I hope you are listening. Take your seat.
