Governance, Growth & the Great Wealth Transfer: What Women of Wealth Need to Lead Well

When I walked into the Financial Times studio to be interviewed by Yuri Bender for the PWM Tea Break, I wasn’t just bringing menopause into the mainstream media I was putting it right at the centre of the leadership and wealth conversation.

Because for women of wealth inheriting family empires, stepping into leadership of dynasties or family offices, the intersection of power, timing, and identity couldn’t be more personal, or more precarious.

And we’re not talking about this enough.

During that interview, I spoke plainly about how menopause arrives just as women step into their prime leadership years right as succession, family capital decisions, and generational legacy planning land at their feet.

But behind closed doors, this is what’s really happening:

·      Daughters being handed billion-pound responsibilities while navigating midlife physiological upheaval

·      Women taking the reins of legacy empires while questioning their clarity, energy, and ability to command the room

·      Advisors to familes who are brilliant on balance sheets but blind to the internal reality of inheriting power while managing menopause

These conversations don’t happen on investor calls.

But they happen with me.

The Private Work I Do That No One Else Sees

My advisory for UHNW women is not simply strategic. I have extensive experience in working with preeminent business pioneers and ultra-high-net-worth individuals. Providing the guidance and counsel needed to build the leadership capabilities of next generation female family members, well its deeply personal.

Whether I’m working with UHNW daughters stepping into C-suite leadership roles within their family empires, or established women leaders in family wealth preparing to assume the mantle of matriarch and chair, I support them to:

·      Navigate high-stakes decisions with clarity even in hormonal shifts

·      Reclaim their leadership voice and confidence without needing to disclose anything publicly

·      Understand the psychological impacts of menopause on visibility, risk tolerance, and pace

Because menopause doesn’t wait until the timing is right. And legacy doesn’t pause for hormones.

It’s why I created The Menopause Maze and the multi-award winning NOPAUSE™ method and why I bring strategic menopause performance support directly into boardrooms, succession conversations, and private family retreats.

From the FT Studio to Private Strategy Rooms

What we discussed at the FT was succession risk, governance, and growth and I shared my expertise on wealth in growth and M&A, and the over-looking of female decision-makers is exactly what plays out in every family office and generational wealth transition I see.

But if you’re reading this as a woman of wealth, or someone advising her, know this:

I offer the strategic container and personal discretion required to help women lead through menopause, not despite it.

Because this isn’t just about managing symptoms.

• It’s about protecting influence
  It’s about maintaining clarity
  It’s about safeguarding the next generation of female wealth leaders.
