Topic strengths

Leadership

Monica's story of rising to the top against adversity. Lessons in leadership. Gender bias and why everyone loses. The immense co-benefits of representative workforces, boardroom governance and diversity gains.

Energy markets

The international energy crisis and its UK impact. Solutions to deliver net zero - and why it starts with gender equality.

Rights of the consumer

From smart tech to smart saving - how does an energy consumer become smart? Fuel poverty: the realities, and what it takes to leave no one behind in the energy transition.

How Monica speaks

Relatable, raw and honest - authentic, and often surprisingly funny given the subject matter. Candid and high-energy, grounded in first-hand experience as the only woman running a UK energy retailer during the energy crisis - not theory, but lived leadership under real pressure.
