94% of women working in C-suite executive roles played sport...

52% at university level*.

Talking to some of your favourite and fabulous women from all walks of life about how their sporting experiences have shaped them in weird, wonderful and often quite witty ways.

With hosts Rachel Shelley (Helena Peabody on TV’s The L Word, gay icon and mother to a teen girl in London) and Dublin’s Nikki Symmons (former international hockey and cricket player for 13 years, Ireland’s first female athlete to come out as gay and a specialised DEI advisor).

In all walks of life, not just the C-Suite, participation in sport from an early age promotes professional excellence, in whatever field a woman moves into. And that’s a fact.

Sport helps develop resilience, discipline and teamwork. Together these form a holy trinity for success.

They discuss the wild and varied parallels they see between competitive sport and their real-life experiences.

How lessons learnt on the pitch shape their behaviour off the field.

How sport has made them the women they are today.

And how they got off the blocks at the very start.

But it’s not just the sporting elite in their new careers that we hear from, although our host Nikki will keep us anchored in that arena. Our guests include high-flyers from the world of entertainment, politics, media and corporate… wherever successful athletes find themselves.

And that’s everywhere.
