What does real advocacy look like?
In this episode, I sit down with Kim Atkinson, CEO of the Scottish Sports Association, to unpack the roles women and men play in driving gender equity. We explore why some women hold others back, and how men can step up as real allies.
Kim shares her experiences navigating leadership from a young age, the power of mentorship, and why small actions, like advocating for someone when they’re not in the room, make all the difference.
