Businesswomen From The United Kingdom

"I have been getting a lot of recognition, a lot of commenters out there, that enjoy seeing what I bring out,”"

"I like to hear constructive criticism because it helps build me as an artist to try different things."

"If you are losing your hair, I suggest seeing a trichologist to find out why. You can also go to the doctor and get the necessary blood tests to show what you might be deficient in. It may be as simple as low iron or vitamin D. Once you’ve been given the right advice, you can start caring for your health and your hair. For example, the Serene Scalp Densifying Collection was created to help those with fragile, thinning hair, add fullness, density and volume back to their strands."

"In humid environments, try to stay away from using scalp oil too frequently. If you have to use it, do so only once a week, wash it out, and do not keep it on the scalp. In very humid conditions, the oil creates a barrier, and the scalp’s natural microbiome will become unbalanced"

"Trends are now focusing on anti-aging for the scalp. Scalp aging can be caused by many factors, one being oxidative stress. People are now realizing that their scalp is an extension of the skin on their face, so the hair care and scalp care market will begin to draw inspiration from skincare treatments that target oxidative stress and apply similar ingredients and ideas to products for the scalp and hair."

""would absolutely have to look at options"."

"Depending on what we learn from AI . . . there may be an opportunity for BT to be even smaller by the end of the decade."

"There’s been a lot to be proud of this year, but one of the most powerful accomplishments is the progress we've made through the Homelessness Task Force."

"More than 20 individuals who were once living on the streets are now in real homes, and that shift has improved life for the entire community."

"The numbers are encouraging. We’ve gone from 30 motor vehicle thefts in 2023 to six so far this year."

"We’ve submitted our Housing Element and Fair Share Plan as required by state law. It’s posted on the city’s website so that residents can review and understand what’s being proposed."

"Right now, we’re waiting for an appraisal of the property."

"Once that’s complete, the city can move forward with plans for a sale."

"What made this possible was a state grant program that only opens up about once every 15 years."

"I have personally worked with this group to help educate the public on the benefits of waiting and I believe they will be able to collaborate with our schools to spread the message."

"It will take a partnership between parents and schools to help mitigate the effects of cell phone use among teens."

"Now that we’ve had real success in helping individuals move into stable housing, we’re turning our focus to prevention."

"I was homeless and penniless when I first started at King’s."

"I found my feet and wings, and King’s supported my accommodation for three years. ‎*Starting as a student to becoming a part of staff faculty."

"I rode the cusp of socio-economic changes as more women entered medicine."

"I also witnessed great advances in liver diseases, my chosen speciality."

"I have always felt well supported but what I have observed in boardrooms is women understating their experience and achievements. Men will traditionally overstate their experience. With AllBright we are trying to give women the space to develop that confidence and to share their experience within a supportive community.”"

"With a growing community of inspiring and connected women across the globe, we feel that there's no stopping what we can do. I think global business is waking up to the impact of having motivated and empowered women building businesses for themselves and others – and as we're half the population, that can only be a great thing."

"An understanding of the numbers is definitely important. Before becoming CEO I had worked as head of digital and strategy [for Hachette Filipacchi before the Hearst merger] so I had an understanding of operations and positioning, as well as communications and marketing. You need a good gut instinct too – and that’s important for female entrepreneurs and executives"

"I have always been a champion of women; I am the eldest of four sisters so, for me, purpose has always been around championing women. It’s not a huge surprise therefore that my first business as an entrepreneur is all about that."

"It needs strategic and far-sighted leadership. That has not existed, and it is clearly urgently required. We don't even know who is running it."

"I believe in always being disciplined; I think a little bit of self-discipline. I try and get in probably between four and seven sessions of some kind of exercise a week, I watch what I eat, limit my alcohol intake, and I try and get as much sleep as I can."

"I think you have to balance it off, I think I can be successful in my day job, and I’ll be better in my day job if I do these other things. I feel better for going to the gym in the morning and having an odd day when I do a detox, and I just feel overall better for it."

"Sailing is so good for teaching resilience, teamwork and working towards a common cause. I would love it to be really accessible, ultimately giving many kids a chance to have a go. There’s a lot of children that may not be good at the usual school sports, but they could be really good at sailing. If they are given the chance to find their confidence, their passion, their purpose in life, sailing could be their thriving environment.”"

"Getting the mindset right in business and sailing starts from the top. You need to create a culture where people are not just focusing on their job, but also taking into account the context of everybody else’s. That is done through dialogue and teaching. With our sailing team on JOURNEYMAKER, our culture is that we all do it together and support each other. We all have bad days at the races and heads do go down. So, you have to call it out and you have to take action and talk about what was not happening and put it right. It is very much a learning culture."

"Business today is hugely disrupted all the time and its environment is volatile and very uncertain. Sailing is a phenomenal metaphor for having to cope, use, and thrive to win, by exploiting that volatility."

"It has a lot to do with how connected they feel and if there is a real flexible working opportunity. Women do have to ask and companies have to listen – if they remain rigid about how they see this world, they will lose women,”"

"Companies also have a role, as do leaders in organisations, to ensure you have a culture where you can speak up about it. Men in management have a very important role to play."

"We talk about generational changes, attitudes to work and the concept of a ‘worklife balance’. It isn’t just women who want change, and it isn’t always about parenthood, she suggests. “Men in their 30s and 40s have a very different attitude to work than their fathers. It’s much more about not letting one thing dominate [your life].”"

"Women must be willing to say: ‘I am good at what I do and this is how you’d have to act to keep me,’"

"“It is much harder being a leader when it’s tougher than when you were just rising. Leading in a variable environment means absorbing a lot of the uncertainty. It’s about being honest with what you say – and what you don’t say.”"

"So I did what most people never do at a really senior level, was I just thought you know what, it's time to take some time off"

"I was really focused on making sure we could have as many family-friendly policies as we could, because I had the experience of being a mum, having to come back [to work] and knowing how it made some of the new mums feel,”"

"Employers should consider giving furlough to parents – normally women – who are on the brink of burn out. People are telling me they are on the brink of quitting and if we aren’t careful when all of this is over it will be like the 1950s in terms of women’s careers”."

"My view was if we do that we will encourage more women to come back and more women to be more senior, and stay with us through their career, and it worked"

"If you haven’t got a job that is flexible in terms of the hours you can do through the day, or a company that isn’t flexible, then some women won’t be able to work during this three month period [of lockdown].”"

"You get to a stage where you say 'I've done my piece. I've grown quite a lot of shareholder value, I've done enough. And actually it needs to be a little bit more about me now.'”"

"The key challenge for higher education is to remain relevant in a changing world. We need to partner with employers to ensure that we are developing the talent that they are seeking. We know from employers that many of the key skills they are looking for are so-called ‘soft’ skills (teamwork, awareness and so on), which is otherwise known as emotional labour."

"Other challenges include maintaining quality and engagement in online learning environments, protecting student and faculty data from cyber threats, ensuring academic integrity, and updating curricula and training educators to keep pace with technological changes."

"We live in a world where, as a result of innovation, cognitive labour (which progressively replaced physical labour from the mid-19th century) is now being replaced itself by artificial intelligence"

"We all have the opportunity to make a difference and strive towards net zero. For example, we will be looking at using advanced technologies such as Digital Twins and pilots of large-scale battery storage to help us reach our goals."

"Of course, there is always room for innovation, which means we will continue to develop our technologies in a number of different ways in the future. This is one of the huge benefits of our world-renowned Innovation Festival, which has seen us working with partners on technologies such as Digital Twins and Underground Mapping to ensure that we are doing the very best for our customers"

"Within our business we have a whole range of different people doing different jobs. Our frontline operational workers, for example, have continued their work in the field and on site throughout the pandemic to keep the water flowing for our customers. However, we are currently evaluating what it will look like for our teams who have been working from home."

"Back then, sites were solely focused on price and didn’t mention the features of the policy. This meant that customers might’ve been getting cheap quotes, but weren’t offered much information on the policy and could’ve found that they were missing out on features that they wanted. I decided that I could either stay where I was, or I could start something new and make a difference. The result was Gocompare.com."

"Young people are growing up with technology as a second nature and the education system has gone from an archaic chalk and blackboard lecture, to an interactive experience that I feel is helping young people develop key skills."
