Hello my friend, I am Ceylan Boyce, your host, and you are listening to She is Awesome podcast.
It has been a while since I have had a guest over here, and I am so excited to get back to my thought-provoking, kinder-hearted conversations with awesome women.
You know, we don’t bring to this show random guests, our guests are carefully curated for you for their stories, experiences, and expertise… and today, I must admit my guest is extra special.
When I first met her, I was like … wow, why the hell does she want to talk to me. Her life story is mind-blowing- literally, and you will understand in a minute what I minute.
Bridget Forster is a Female Empowerment Advocate and Leadership for Diversity consultant. She has several decades of leadership experience. Bridget’s life is full of big moves. She started as an officer in the British Army, moved to become a Barrister and left law to work with the United Nations as a Project Coordinator with the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS), overseeing programmes for the removal of unexploded ordnance in Libya and Palestine. Since leaving the UN, her consultancy “Be the Bridge Today” focuses on advocacy and advisory work to help organisations create leadership cultures that provide the space for increased diversity and all the benefits for both men and women that arise from that.
We talked about being a woman leader in organisations like the army and the UN, biases she had to fight against and how to be a strong woman leader. Bridget is full of wisdom and gave me the best golden nugget!
