Who I speak to. Corporate & Human Resources
Your International Women’s Day programme covers pay, leadership and flexibility. It doesn’t cover the health issue costing you the most.
Planning an International Women’s Day programme, a leadership offsite or a company conference?
01 The silence
One in three women will spend years of their working life managing symptoms nobody at work has a word for. Desire, menopause, pain, sleep.
They don’t take it to human resources. They take it home, or they leave.
Hope walks into that silence and gives the room the words. Not a wellbeing session. A keynote that changes what your leaders say on Monday.
02 The talk for this room
The Shift
Opens the door. Menopause is the conversation human resources already has budget for. This is the version that doesn’t stop at hot flushes. It follows the cost through retention, promotion and the leadership pipeline.
The ShiftThe Last Taboo
The main stage. Once the room can say menopause, it can say the rest. This is the talk that does it.
The Last TabooMale-majority rooms
Also delivered for male-majority audiences. Ask about the men’s cut.
03 What will be different after 45 minutes
- Your leaders will know what menopause and sexual health silence cost the organisation, in numbers: up to twice a salary per senior departure, and one in eight women aged 45 to 60 already carrying an adverse work outcome. Fifteen per cent of women with menopause symptoms have decided against a promotion or leadership role (Gallup and Pivotal Women’s Health Survey, 2026).
- Your managers will know what to say, and what not to say, when someone raises it.
- Your organisation will have one action to take this quarter, and the script to take it with.
04 The Last Taboo Programme
Every corporate keynote is delivered as a programme, not a slot.
- The keynote (45 to 60 minutes), tailored to your audience after a pre-event brief
- The Manager Script. The one-page guide to the conversation nobody has been trained to have
- The Policy Starter. A one-page position your human resources team can build on
- A 30-minute follow-up call with your human resources or People lead, within 30 days
- Internal recording rights, so the people who missed it don’t
One fee. One invoice. Everything the room needs after Hope leaves the stage.
The cost does not fall evenly. More than half of women in households earning under 50,000 United States dollars report a health impact on their career, against a third of those earning over 100,000. A sliding scale applies for non profits, the public sector and employers whose workforce is mostly lower paid.
05 The Guarantee
If your post-event survey rates the keynote below 9 out of 10, you don’t pay the balance.
