🎙️ In this episode of Diverse Talk Matters, host Natasha Broomfield-Reid sits down with Sandra Pollock OBE to explore the realities of women’s equality and the impact of the Women’s Awards, now celebrating its 10th year.
Sandra, a leadership specialist and founder of the Women’s Awards, reflects on her lifelong commitment to gender equality, from noticing stereotypes in childhood to challenging workplace inequities throughout her career. She shares how the Awards became her “protest”, a platform to recognise high-achieving women across all sectors and communities.
Together, Natasha and Sandra discuss:
- The origins and growth of the Women’s Awards over the past decade
- How recognition boosts women’s confidence, careers, and businesses
- The importance of visibility and role models in breaking stereotypes
- Progress in workplace conversations around menopause, menstruation, and baby loss
- Ongoing challenges, including regressive attitudes and systemic barriers
This episode is an inspiring and candid conversation about resilience, recognition, and the power of women supporting women.
Whether you’re a leader, ally, or advocate, you’ll find encouragement in their stories and a call to action to keep pushing for equality.
