2025: The Year Menopausal Women Leaders Demand Better
For too long, menopause has been treated as a personal issue to be managed in silence. But for women in senior leadership roles, this natural life transition often collides with the peak of their careers. The result? Women leave the workforce, scale back their ambitions, or feel forced to mask their struggles - all of which lead to significant losses for businesses.
This has to change.
2025 will be the year that menopausal women leaders demand better and The Menopause Maze™ will lead the charge and the change.
The Role of Career Coaching During Menopause
One of the key messages in the report is the importance of specialised executive career coaching for menopausal C-suite women. Career coaching is an essential part of this equation, especially for C-suite and C-1 leaders. Women in C-suite roles and female founders, who are the CEO's of their companies, are pivotal to driving innovation and growth. Yet, the challenges of menopause can undermine even the most seasoned leaders if workplaces fail to provide strategy, support and scale solutions.
Here’s why this matters:
• Retention of Leadership Talent: Losing senior women due to unaddressed menopause challenges drains companies of expertise, institutional knowledge, and representation at the top.
• Improved Leadership Performance: With the right tools, women can navigate menopause while maintaining—and even enhancing their performance.
• ESG goals: Supporting women during menopause aligns with progressive ESG and DEI initiatives, ensuring women thrive at every career stage. When women are included and supported business returns outstrip companies with no women on boards and business returns delivered that also supports sustainable economies.
