Make Menopause Your Power Move
Midlife is the decade women have been written out of. Esther pulls back the curtain on how women's health gets dismissed, medicated, and ignored, and replaces it with an evidence based playbook for what works instead. Drawing on 30 years of clinical work and the humor that makes hard truths land, she shows why midlife is a leadership accelerator, not an exit ramp.
Talk Topic
The Menopause Leadership Gap
Most women in senior leadership are in perimenopause or menopause, navigating debilitating symptoms, inadequate medical care, and a workplace with no language for what they are going through. The result is a quiet exodus of the women your organization spent decades developing. Esther gives leaders a framework to stop losing their best people.
