In this episode of the Wolfe Power Club, Monica Collings OBE, Chair of POWERful Women, joins us to discuss the 2026 State of the Nation Report and what it reveals about leadership in the UK energy sector. We explore the "glacial-freeze" on why progress towards 40% female representation in senior leadership has stagnated, with 13 major energy boards still having no women and the pipeline to executive roles remaining stuck at 34%. Monica shares her perspective on what's holding the industry back, why it matters for business performance and what leaders need to do next. We review the 5-point action plan and add 3 further areas related to brand, money and families.
