Harnessing Our Hormones is a the hormone lesson every woman should have had at school. No more ignoring our hormones, let’s show them as the leadership and performance superpower that they are.
This deeply relevant, practical and empowering session is designed to help women understand how their hormones influence so much more than their reproductive system; having a role in energy, mood, cognition, performance and overall wellbeing.
Using clear visual explanations of hormone patterns across the female lifespan, detailed discussion of the stages of the menstrual cycle, Becca sets out a clear argument for how our hormones also positively influence cognitive function at different times in the most powerful way. She suggests that how we view leadership needs to be considered within this authentic yet variable paradigm.
With practical tools for nutrition, stress and cycle-aware living, this session reframes hormone health as a powerful advantage rather than a barrier.
Whether delivered as a keynote, workplace wellbeing event, leadership development session or part of a women’s health programme, this session gives women the knowledge they need to work with their hormones and not against them.

Let’s look at why our varying hromones are actually our leadership and performance superpower:
Let’s challenge the status quo and change the narrative around hormones. We look at how hormonal patterns differ from men’s, get an introduction to the infradian rhythm and why this impacts energy, mood and performance. We can’t start without an intro to the 2 big ones; oestrogen and progesterone.
Understand why stress often overrides the hormone balance, how it throws us off our natural equilibrium and what we can do about it.
Once we know the four phases of our cycle, we can become more aware of how each phase influences confidence, creativity, social ability, sleep and physical performance. Let’s discuss how cycle tracking is essential to develop awareness of your own individual rhythm.
