Working like a Woman is a Superpower

Soft skills. Real power.

Women constitute 60% of the workforce in the creative industries at entry level, yet only 34% of managerial and director positions in the UK’s creative sector are occupied by women. This disparity doesn't indicate a deficiency in talent; rather, it reflects the leadership styles historically valued by our industry while overlooking essential qualities.

Imagine if the attributes often deemed 'too soft' — empathy, intuition, emotional intelligence — are, in fact, the most powerful creative tools for catalyzing impact.

Join us for an engaging, unfiltered panel discussion featuring leaders, entrepreneurs, and creatives as we delve into how traditionally 'feminine' skills are shaping businesses, fostering communities, influencing culture, and instigating meaningful change. Together, we'll challenge outdated creative leadership models and highlight the strengths that women bring to their roles, addressing why the future belongs to those who can connect, collaborate, and lead with humanity.

This conversation is designed for anyone refining studio culture, carving a niche in the industry, or contemplating their next step. It’s about reclaiming your edge and redefining what powerful creative leadership entails.
