Female Leaders and the Menopause

Monday 14th September 2026 13:00 - 14:00 (BST)


Navigating menopause – the hidden leadership challenge shaping talent, performance and retention in Life Sciences

Masterclass Details:

There are two pivotal moments in many women’s careers: returning to work after children, and navigating menopause. Both quietly reshape identity, confidence and capacity, yet only one is routinely acknowledged in corporate life.

Join pharma coach Jo-Ann Monaghan for a 60-minute masterclass exploring one of the most overlooked talent and leadership risks in the Life Sciences workplace. Taking a science-led perspective on how menopause affects high-performing environments and why it matters for senior female leaders, she will provide practical insights to help you better support individuals, strengthen inclusive leadership and protect your talent pipeline.

Whether you’re living through menopause, leading someone who is, or building the teams and culture of tomorrow, this issue directly affects you. Women at the peak of their careers and expertise are stepping back from promotions, reducing their visibility or leaving altogether – not because they have lost ambition but because they’re managing a physiological transition in silence, without support. In a sector built on scientific rigour and evidence, it’s time to change that.

Join us to explore how menopause shows up in high-performance environments – and how you can help change the paradigm.

 

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Explore relevant legislation and quick organisational wins – discover the human cost of inaction and the tangible ROI of structured menopause support programmes
  • Protect your talent pipeline – learn to spot the early warning signs of senior talent loss, understand what’s driving it and take meaningful action
  • Recognise the cognitive and psychological menopause symptoms most relevant to high-performance environments and learn why they are not a sign of permanent decline
  • Understand the pharma context – why a culture of intellectual authority and relentless pace makes menopause uniquely challenging, and what that means for how we lead
  • Discover practical, evidence-based steps you can apply immediately to support yourself or your team and embed menopause into your DEI and wellbeing strategy
