Episode 17: Women in leadership unlocked: Tools, tactics and truths
Why, in 2026, are women still under-represented in senior leadership roles? And are we really equipping young people with the skills they need to thrive in today’s workplace?
In Episode 17 of The View masterclass, Neil Armstrong is joined by Rebecca Davis, Chief Executive at West Midlands Employers, for a bold, thought-provoking conversation.
Owned by councils and dedicated to improving public services across the West Midlands, West Midlands Employers sits at the heart of local government talent strategy. And Rebecca brings strong, experience-led views on what’s holding women back from the top – and what must change.
Together, they explore leadership barriers, outdated structures, and the real skills gap facing the next generation entering the workforce. Expect honesty, challenge, and practical insight from the public sector front line.
