I welcome the announcement that menopause will be included in England’s NHS Health Checks for adults 40-74. Milions of women will be asked about symptoms and guided to support exactly the visibility we’ve needed.

Here’s my question as a menopause keynote speaker and professional menopause coach: if your GP checks your body, who checks your boardroom?

Where Menopause Meets Ambition

In my work with C-suite women and founders, I see the same pattern: menopause can quietly tax decision speed, confidence and risk appetite. Those aren’t minor side effects; they’re career variables that determine whether you get the pay rise, land the deal, or make the promotion slate.

The NHS Health Check is rightly clinical. It’s offered every five years to eligible adults 40–74. Adding menopause questions helps more women get evidence-based treatment faster — something NICE’s guidance is designed to support.

My Professional Prescription Starts With a Diagnosis

Before we change anything, we measure it. My NOPAUSE™ Scorecard shows where menopause is influencing your performance, pay, progression and promotability. Once your profile is clear, we pick the right intervention:

NOPAUSE™ Advantage — a focused, 90-minute reset for direction, decisions and impact
NOPAUSE™ Accelerator — elite, side-by-side execution to rebuild strategic edge and visibility

Why Book Me as Your Menopause Keynote Speaker

Event organisers tell me they book me because I translate clinical progress (like the NHS update) into commercial performance and career protection. I speak candidly about the leadership realities behind boardroom doors — and give women and workplaces precise next steps.
