Every March, the business community celebrates International Women’s Day with a slew of inspiring stories (as well as ‘room for diversity improvement’ messaging) about women who are breaking down barriers, and AB is no different. This month, we interview Sophia Levell ACCA, who has had a varied and non-traditional trajectory so far. As a woman with ADHD, she says she was always craving ‘that dopamine hit’ that pushes you constantly onto the next thing. ‘One of my biggest fears in life is never trying or never knowing what could have happened,’ she says.
Speaking of pushing boundaries, we look at how the private sector is moving into the space sector and the operational and financial challenges it faces. Find out more.
Turning to the public sector, one of the biggest stories of late is the government’s announcement of major measures aimed at improving special educational needs and disability (SEND) provision, not least the decision by the Department for Education to fund SEND costs directly. While the move has broadly been welcomed by local authorities, concerns remain over the ambitious proposals. Read our article, ‘SEND spend revolution’.
And for careers guidance this month (with CPD on offer), we look at how being more empathic in the moment can save you time and money in the future. Find out more.
