Real progress for women in business isn’t about celebrating achievements, it’s about dismantling barriers. The time for symbolic inclusion is over—now it’s time to get to work. Every year, International Women’s Day (IWD) comes around with a new theme, new conversations, and a fresh wave of energy. But for many of us, the reality remains the same: same challenges, different year. (Or should I say same sh!t, different day.) It’s frustrating and often maddening.

“Well, maybe one of the Christmas elves is called Anko?”That’s what you might have to tell the kids, anyway. Anko is the house brand of Kmart, imprinted on a range of toys that cost as little as a dollar. A lot of such toys are going to end up in Christmas stockings because Australia is set to have a very discount Christmas. Consumer spending has retreated like an outgoing tide.

Whether it’s your phone vibrating, a rumble of your car’s engine, the tingle of your minty toothpaste or the bubbles in your drink, products come with sensory signals. Some are inadvertent, some are deliberate. For example, advances in build quality meant the engines of modern-day Mustangs were too quiet. They just didn’t sound “Mustang-y” enough. That’s why some models use speakers to generate tones that mimic the sound of a V-8 engine.

While I’m not a diehard AFL fan (my son, a passionate Sydney Swans supporter, might question if I’m even Australian!), I am a fan of exceptional leadership and a positive and inclusive culture. AFL clubs, especially at the elite level, are renowned for creating environments that foster high performance, yet what often goes unnoticed, is the significant role that culture plays in driving those results.

Even with decades of experience and a track record of achievements, imposter syndrome can rear its ugly head, especially when we venture into new territories or navigate unfamiliar industries. This struggle is especially prevalent for older women stepping into entrepreneurship later in life, where the pressures of ageism and the weight of expectations can fuel feelings of uncertainty. I know the feeling well.

The startup world is often associated with youthful energy, fresh ideas and a seemingly boundless drive. However, after navigating the complexities of leadership for over two decades, I can confidently say that your 50s might just be the best time to dive into entrepreneurship as a woman leader. In my early 50s, I was working as the head of sales in a high-pressure, fast-growing company, where I was expected to deliver results at any cost.

It also enables the business to stay relevant, differentiate itself, and remain resilient in fast-paced, evolving markets.

In a world where more and more leaders chase profit over purpose, the concept of ethical leadership has never been more pivotal, writes Kerry Kingham.
While financial performance is a vital aspect of business success, it is troubling to see how often it can eclipse genuine leadership qualities. This shift in priorities is particularly disconcerting for Gen Z – a generation that values transparency, integrity, and societal impact in both their personal and professional lives.
