In this episode of The Edge of Influence, host Iman Issa, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of North Seventy Five is joined by Elisabeth Anne, Regional Managing Director of Imagination and Sally Henderson, Founder, High-stakes leadership mentor & Author of "The How of High Performance", for an honest conversation about women and leadership.
Together they explore how the regional conversation has shifted from representation to genuine influence, who controls budgets, shapes strategy, and wins the major mandates. They also discuss the art of saying no without guilt, knowing your role, setting consistent boundaries and separating being liked from being respected.
They also dig into the double standards women still navigate, why trust, not popularity, is the foundation of leadership, and the underrated role of recovery and energy in high performance. It's a warm, candid episode with an emphatic call to action for women to be authentic and find moments to laugh, but also be brave, set boundaries fearlessly and put yourself first.
