Loose Suits

Adulting is hard. We all know it. Navigating our personal lives can be tough enough and then you’ve got the added stress of navigating work too.

Whether it’s ‘how do I set boundaries with my colleagues?’ or ‘when’s a good time to bring up the subject of a payrise? (how do I even ask for one?)' there’s always situations at work where we could do with getting some advice.

Well, what if you could ask someone whose experienced all these scenarios and quite a few others? Someone who knows all about high-pressure environments, how to manage difficult situations and people, and navigating the patriarchy at work.

Maybe they’ve won some awards along the way? How about an OBE? Better yet, what if there was 3 of them?

I. Stephanie Boyce is the former President of the Law Society of England and Wales. In 2021 she became the first person of colour to become President. Heather Melville, OBE, is Chancellor of the University of York and in 2017 received an honorary doctorate from the University of Portsmouth for her influence and impact on diversity in business. Janie Frampton, OBE, cemented her place in history as the second woman referee to operate in the men's professional game of football in England, before going on to a successful leadership speaking and consultancy career.
