“It's about strength. It's about confidence. And ultimately, it's about owning your space and feeling trusted.” - Amanda Cox

Many women and girls have never considered that they could contribute to technical, operational, or sporting domains, or that they could one day be part of senior management in businesses dominated by male executives.
