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.

Haven’t Got Time?
“I haven’t got time.” A familiar statement I often hear from women leaders when I suggest we have a short conversation. Time, precious time. It’s the one resource — indeed the only resource that is finite, limited. So it’s little wonder we want to protect it. And yet, very few of us do protect our […]
Invest in Women
Every year on 8 March, we celebrate International Women’s Day. It’s the one day of the year when women are formally recognised for the huge (often unpaid) contribution we make to our homes, our families, our communities: indeed all the communities and organisations of which we are a part. It’s also one day when […]
What’s Possible for You?
Every day I choose a word to guide my day. Go back to discover its roots in our language. Reflect on its meaning and what it means to me, here and now. What it could mean for you reading this now…. Today I chose possibility. A world of possibility opens up when you reflect on […]
What do you Crave?
Cravings are often a sign that your needs are not being met. Instead, you’re using something else — a coffee, a packet of crisps, an affair — to satisfy a need. And that something else cannot satisfy your need. It leads to dependency, to a bad habit, eventually to an addiction. My last corporate role […]
How Conscious is your Leadership?
Perhaps you’ve never even considered this. You’re not in a coma, after all, so clearly conscious, at least at one level. What I’m referring to here is your awareness. How aware are you of your state of consciousness? I work with four. To Me By Me Through Me As Me We can and do flip […]
Adopt a Tweak a Week
A far better way to approach those New Year’s Resolutions! I first came across this concept last month, listening to a presentation given by Carrie Wilkinson entitled ‘Status Quo or Status Grow’. It speaks powerfully to me about how important the ‘little things’ are in shaping your career and your life. The little things, repeated […]
Achieving a Flow State
What Brings You into Flow? Every morning I pick a word for the day, a word that then inspires and guides my day. Today I chose ‘Flow’. That exquisite and elusive state of mind that can lead to peak performance and enhanced well-being. And immediately wondered, how often am I in a state of flow? […]
What Game are You Playing?
What Game Are You Playing? Mastering the Art of Leadership: Navigating Finite and Infinite Games As a leader, whether in business or non profit, you are playing a game.
