01
Experienced women stay
The colleagues most affected are usually the ones with the deepest institutional knowledge. Support keeps them, and keeps what they know.
For employers
Menopause training your managers will actually use.
Awareness sessions for all colleagues, manager and leadership training, executive briefings, Menopause Champion training, HR workshops and CPD-certified e-learning. Delivered in person or online, across multiple jurisdictions.
Delivered in the room, not from a slide deck
The business case
What changes when you get this right.
Menopause and wellbeing training is not a perk. It affects the numbers your executive team already watches.
02
Absence falls
Symptoms that are understood and adjusted for cause far fewer days lost than symptoms managed alone and in silence.
03
Managers stop avoiding it
Most line managers want to help and are afraid of saying the wrong thing. Training gives them the words and the boundaries.
04
Problems surface earlier
When it is safe to raise symptoms, adjustments happen before performance conversations, resignations or grievances do.
05
Your employer brand strengthens
Candidates and clients notice which organisations take women's health seriously, and increasingly they ask.
06
It feeds DE&I and ESG reporting
Menopause support gives you something concrete to report against, rather than another statement of intent.

What attendees say
I attended your Menopause and Wellness presentation a little while ago at Sovereign, may I say I thoroughly enjoyed (is that the right word) the session and it certainly got the point across. Having gone through the menopause with my wife a few years ago whereby she could be the wicked witch of the west and east all on the same day (she could probably say the same thing about me), I wish I had been able to attend an awareness presentation and had the knowledge that you shared as I got pretty close to jumping on a plane back to the UK at one point.
I would advise everyone to attend. I hope that I have expressed myself in the right way and as a 'bloke' thank you.
