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.

Avoid Burnout with a Sustainable Work Environment
Establish a Sustainable Work Environment and Avoid Burnout Amidst a tumultuous post-pandemic reorganisation at her company, one of my clients was promoted to a new position.

Female Leader Juggle

Female Imposter Syndrome
Female Imposter Syndrome ‘Imposter syndrome’ as a term never really existed when I was in my last leadership roles. It’s a recent addition to our vocabulary. Used to describe a condition that has been with us — men as well as women — for millennia. So much so, that it is part of the human […]
Commitment
A few days ago I had a conversation with a strong female leader who struggled to commit fully to what she professed to care most about — her impact and legacy. And yet, without commitment, it’s unlikely she will ever realise her vision and make the contribution she so desires. This conversation prompted me to […]
How to cultivate courage in a leadership role

Unconscious Bias at Play
All those unconscious biases that govern our behaviour, our thoughts and words. The ones that can so easily hold us back… We all harbour unconscious biases. Thoughts, words, actions, values and beliefs we learned on our mother’s knees and now so much a part of our day-to-day, that we don’t even know they are there. […]
