I am findig it quite a challenge despite having been a Head for quite a few years, part of which is getting up and talking to people! I am hoping for new ideas and mutual support.

Comment by Bridget Farrands on September 12, 2011 at 18:01: Hello - I've just joined - thrilled to find a group like this in the RSA. I would like to find out if any members of the group could tell me what is their experience of how women use their voice as leaders? This is both a literal and metaphorical question. I'm interested in how women put voice to their identity as leaders - is it voice that matters...or action...or other? Many questions but to begin a dialogue on this with anyone interested would be great.
