This month we are joined by Amanda Floyd, co-founder of Executive Search firm Beaumont Bailey. Amanda shares what drove her to start her own business, in the midst of having children, a time when many women finding themselves turning opportunities down rather than taking them with both hands. We thank Amanda for her amazing candour and hope you enjoy hearing her story as much as we did.

This month Joy Davey and Alexandra Buchan-Heelas are joined by their first guest, Sofia Romero-Emberton. Sofia returned to her role in Investment Banking after the birth of her daughter. Here she talks about her experiences, including why she doesn't feel any guilt for being a working mother (and nor should she!), and gives some fantastic practical tips.

The founders of Women Who Work, Joy and Alsi, give an introduction to how the organisation came to be and what we are hoping to achieve. We share our stories, experiences, challenges and tips when it comes to returning to work after our first child.
