Lisa Wright–Navigating The Change: The Impact Of Menopause On Senior Female Leaders

This week marks International Women's Day, and who better to have as a guest on the show than Lisa Wright. 

Lisa is the founder of Menopause The Wright Way; an organisation that helps companies support their employees through menopause. Previously, she served as a managing director working with a multi-generational and multi-cultural team across the UK and South East Asia for 20 years.

Today, Lisa talks about navigating menopause at work and the impact it can have, especially on senior female leaders.

Here are the highlights from this episode:

(12:32) For a lot of women, there just isn't that level of awareness.

(37:59) You’re not going mad!

(45:15) There’s multiple things that an organisation can do. 

(55:32) Take control and look out for yourself.

About the Podcast

The Wellbeing Rebellion
Welcome to The Wellbeing Rebellion, an award-winning podcast.

We’re Ngozi Weller and Obehi Alofoje, Directors at Aurora — a leadership and organisational effectiveness consultancy.

This podcast explores how the way organisations are led shapes performance, trust, wellbeing and culture over time.

The challenge with many approaches to wellbeing and culture is that they place responsibility on individuals to cope, rather than examining the leadership decisions, behaviours and systems that create the conditions people are working within.

This is where the conversation needs to shift.

On The Wellbeing Rebellion, we explore leadership behaviour, organisational systems and decision-making under pressure through honest conversations with senior leaders and advisors navigating real organisational complexity.

Some episodes are just us. Others bring in leaders and experts reflecting candidly on what works, what doesn’t, and what leadership requires in practice.

If you’re responsible for people, culture or organisational performance — and want to think more critically about how leadership shapes outcomes — this podcast is for you.
