"Leadership is about creating space where all voices are heard and valued." - Amanda Johnstone

Amanda Johnstone, a trailblazer in leadership and STEM, brings her unique perspective to International Women's Day and beyond in 2024. With the theme #InspireInclusion, Amanda's keynote encapsulates the essence of empowering women in leadership and across diverse fields.

Expect a keynote filled with personal anecdotes, evidence-based strategies, and
actionable insights. Amanda's message is clear: the rise of women in leadership is a
journey of collaboration and mutual respect, not a competition between genders. It's
about embracing change and working together to create a world where everyone,
regardless of gender, can succeed based on their capabilities and aspirations.

Her keynote will explore the evolution from the era of power suits to a more inclusive
and empathetic leadership style. Amanda's story of seeking mentorship from Nigel Austin at 16 years of age and her approach to building diverse teams highlights the importance of asking for help, offering help and embracing vulnerability.

Amanda's mantra, "Only when diverse perspectives are included, respected, and valued can we start to get a full picture of the world," is a testament to her belief in
inclusive leadership. She emphasises the need for leaders to be authentic, to acknowledge their own areas of growth, and to foster an environment where both men and women can thrive.

Drawing from her personal journey, Amanda illustrates that the rise of women in
leadership is not a zero-sum game but a collective elevation of all. She challenges
gender stereotypes and emphasizes the importance of mutual respect and collaboration between genders for a more inclusive future.
