Being with these One Minute Wonders
to Relieve your Stress, Reclaim your Time & Replenish your Energy
It’s Time To play a different game
Where you and your team do meaningful work in a safe and inclusive environment.
One that promotes trust and engagement.
Ensures you retain your key talent, rather than lose talented capable women, because they're no longer willing to put up with the unconscious biases so prevalent in the workplace.
Unacceptably long hours in an 'always on' culture is exhausting you and your team.
The pressure to perform shows no sign of letting up. Good people are leaving.
Senior women have been hit especially hard since the start of the pandemic, losing their jobs at a much higher rate than men in similar roles.
You've already lost two key senior women and top management still expects you to deliver the same, if not more and better, results with a smaller team.
You know the environment is unhealthy. But don't have the time or headspace to work out how to shift it.
With remote working now the norm, there's no boundary between work and home; nor is there the time or space to create a workable work-life balance.
And that concerns you. Because you know, even now that lockdown has eased, remote working is here to stay.
What if You could Transform your Workplace?
Change how you lead, and you'll change the way others relate to you.
It all begins with you
Hello I'm
Dr Almira Ross
As one of only a few women in technology, I simply got on with the work I loved. Not realising that I was carving out a path not just for myself, but for other women to follow.
I’d be kidding you and myself if I said it was easy. The work, yes. I enjoyed what I was doing. Navigating the day-to-day of dealing almost exclusively with male colleagues proved especially challenging. For the most part, they tended to behave as if women weren’t present, or if they were, were of little significance or contribution.
Yet, I proved myself, and garnered reluctant respect. When I stepped into leadership with an entirely male team, things really heated up. They actively resisted being led by a woman. This was a global role, high powered, high profile, and highly stressful. That’s without the positively unhealthy team dynamics I had to deal with. Or the fact that those male team members were being paid more than I…
“I only wish I’d had you as my coach
When I was in the corporate world.”
This, from a woman who is now running her own successful business. Looking back on my years in the corporate world, I could so easily have said the same. Wishing I knew then what I know now.
I often wonder what I might have accomplished, how I might have been a far more influential leader had I had access to Lead with Ease and Teams in Flow.
But I didn’t. And when the stresses of that role got too much for me; when I was teetering on the point of burn out, I took the courageous decision to leave.
And forge another career for myself. From the predominately male environment of my corporate career, I chose to support women leaders like you in dealing with the day-to-day biases, many unconscious, that still pervade the workplace.
That is now my passion. And my greatest wish for you is that you discover how to lead courageously, authentically and easily by owning and stepping fully into your natural strengths as a woman.

Power
My word to reflect on today is power. It’s a word that often carries a heavy charge. For some, it evokes authority, hierarchy, dominance. For others, it brings up discomfort, restraint, or memories of power misused. Yet at its root, power comes from the Latin posse — “to be able”. Capacity. Capability. The ability to […]
New Year, New You?
It’s a new year, and with it comes that familiar urge to reset. To draw a line under what’s gone before and declare, with the best of intentions, that this will be the year things change. I imagine many of you have already made a few New Year’s resolutions. Getting fitter. Looking after your health. […]
Inspiring
Today I’ve chosen the word ‘inspire’ from the small bowl of words that sits on my desk. I often pick one at the start of the day, not to analyse it academically, but to let it work on me quietly in the background. Inspire is one of those words that reveals more the longer you […]
Deadlines and Perspective
We’re nearing the end of the year — that strange, slightly frantic stretch when it feels as if everything must be wrapped up neatly before the last day in the office. I’ve always found this period slightly amusing, if only because part of me knows it’s entirely self-created. And yet, year after year, I feel […]
Light
Today I’ve chosen the word light from the small bowl of inspiring words that sits on my desk. This is a ritual I’ve come to rely on, especially during these dark December days in London when it feels as though the sun barely rises above the horizon, before it’s heading straight back down again. Indoors, […]
What Fungi Teach Us About Leadership
I’ve just finished reading Merlin Sheldrake’s astonishing book Entangled Life, and I haven’t looked at the ground beneath my feet in the same way since. It’s a book about fungi: those strange, often misunderstood organisms that most of us only notice when they pop up as mushrooms on a woodland walk, or worse, as something […]
Communicating Effectively
Today I’ve picked the word communication from the little bowl of inspiring words that sits on my desk. It’s a word I see every single day in my work with senior executives, and yet it’s a word most of us glide past too quickly, assuming we already know what it means, assuming we’re already practising […]
The Importance of Caring for Your Health
This weekend, I was stopped in my tracks. A bug — nothing dramatic, but certainly disruptive — took hold of my gut, left me exhausted, and reminded me of something I know to be true yet so often forget: my body is constantly working on my behalf. I cancelled my plans, took to my bed, […]
Delight
Every morning, before I open my laptop or glance at my calendar, I reach into a small bowl that sits on my desk — a simple pottery dish filled with words. Each word has been chosen carefully over time, for the way it holds a spark, an invitation, a quality I want to cultivate. Today, […]
Surprises
It was my birthday this weekend, and my husband told me to set aside Saturday for a surprise. That was all I knew. No clues, no hints, just the promise of something special. I woke up that morning feeling open and ready to receive whatever the day had in store. We began somewhat inauspiciously, with […]
