Working like a Woman is a Superpower

​Soft skills. Real power.

Women make up 60% of the creative industries’ workforce at entry level, yet only 34% of managerial and director roles in the UK’s creative sector are held by women.

That gap doesn’t reflect a lack of talent, it reflects the kind of leadership our industry has historically rewarded - and the qualities its overlooked.

What if the qualities we’ve been taught are “too soft” - empathy, intuition, emotional intelligence - are actually the most powerful creative tools for driving impact?

Join us for an unfiltered conversation with a panel of leaders, entrepreneurs and creatives as we explore how skills traditionally labelled as 'feminine' are shaping businesses, building communities, influencing culture and driving meaningful change.

​Together, we’ll challenge outdated creative leadership models and unpack the strengths that women bring to their work and discuss why the future belongs to those who can connect, collaborate and lead with humanity.

Whether you’re shaping studio culture, carving out your place in the industry, or simply figuring out your next step, this conversation is about reclaiming your edge and redefining what powerful creative leadership really looks like.
