Our guest this month is Angela McConville. As Chief Executive of the NCT, the parents national charity for pregnancy, birth and early parenthood, Angela has brought her ‘spirit for change’ to the organisation. After only 9 weeks in the role, the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic forced her to make changes to the fundamental operating strategy of the organisation overnight. 

In this episode Angela describes how her mother inspired her understanding of how communities can come together and how she plans to tackle the challenges that face the NCT in 2025. She also talks about her own path to leadership, how she has built a supportive network of working mums around her and her number one skill for making a success of the CEO role.
