Pledge to In Her Own Way and support our vision: that every young woman is encouraged and inspired whatever she wishes to achieve – giving a talk, writing a book, or becoming CEO. We learn by example; but what if we can’t find an example? As a young woman, this can be challenging. We are told to ‘shoot for the moon’, but the higher we lift our gaze, the fewer stars there are to guide us there. Women occupied fewer than 28% of board positions in FTSE 100 UK companies in 2017.
