“What’s next for women?”

I delivered a keynote focused on the major shifts likely to shape the future for women, and how to recognise and prepare for them early. The session explored social, economic and demographic change, including shifting patterns of work, wealth, caregiving, longevity and leadership, and considered what those changes might mean in practical terms for women’s lives and choices. I introduced a foresight lens as a way of building confidence and agency in the face of uncertainty, helping participants think more deliberately about the futures they want to prepare for and help create.
