Inspired by curiosity as to why we don't have more female CEOs, in 2021 Melissa Hamilton embarked on a passion project to find out why, and what we could do to have more impact on changing that. So started the Brave Feminine Leadership podcast and Interview series. Now Melissa has had over 250+ conversations with global leaders who tell their stories on the subject of what makes a great leader; how do we help women not only aspire but reach greatness; and what is the research out there that can help with not only women's but all of our leadership effectiveness. Be inspired as Melissa explores these topics and more.
Can't find your thing here? Melissa and her business partner Kelli have put a selection of interviews here for you - head on over to our YouTube channel and explore what else is there.
What does it actually take for women to lead at the highest level?
Since 2021, Melissa Hamilton has been sitting down with global leaders, researchers, CEOs and executives to answer that question — episode by episode. The result is one of Australia's most substantive leadership podcasts for senior women, with guests including world-leading researchers in influence, negotiation and organisational behaviour.
Featuring Alison Fragale, Rosalind Chow, Jen Overbeck, Laurie Weingart and Laura Kray - five of the most cited researchers in their fields. This series gives senior leaders direct access to the science behind influence at the executive level.
