I was in my thirties and had recently been promoted to run a portfolio of magazines at a major publishing company when a 40-something woman in the organisation offered me a sobering warning: “Once a woman turns 40 she becomes invisible”.

In the past couple of weeks two accomplished women in my network have landed their first paid board appointment.

Powerful women are consistently accused of trying to keep other women down.

Blanket decisions will often end in tears.

The other night when my husband arrived home from work after midnight he was surprised to see me awake and watching an IQ’d episode of Parenthood.

It was a little before midnight on a week night and I was seated on the platform of a station headed for Central Station in Sydney.

On the way home from a business trip to Melbourne last week I was delighted when the seat next to me was filled by Best & Less CEO Holly Kramer.

This is the story of the amazing Sarah Hamilton, a visionary woman who founded BellaBox with her Singapore-based sister a couple of years ago.

At a networking lunch with a few ridiculously successful women recently, one described her recent promotion as “drinking from the poisoned chalice”.

Today marks my 20th wedding anniversary.

In the ‘have it all’ discussion set off by Julie Bishop last week, many women expressed concern that this was a one-gender discussion.

I have had the pleasure of working closely with a young woman I can only describe as amazing.
