The Fold London Podcast
In each episode, our host Kate Bassett teams up two women from the same sector but at very different stages in their career. They share their wisdom and worries, highs and lows, leadership lessons and nuggets of advice – and they tell us what they’re doing to support and empower other women.
This is mentoring on a grand scale… and you’re listening in.
It was Madeleine Albright who said, “There’s a special place in hell for women who don't help other women.” This is our version of podcast heaven… thefoldlondon.com/podcast
