Balancing your ego is the most important thing, because success fuels ego - and that is not easy sometimes. When you're in the public eye, people see that as success and it's just not.

The elephant in the room time and time again when it comes to work and promotions is maternity leave. We need to work with businesses so they work with women and make it easy and supportive for them to come back into the workplace.

Because of the financial crash, we've lost trust in these big businesses that were led by a linear ambition to reach the top by risk - and invariably led by men. And so I think all the stuff that was seen as great "behaviour" will not be in the future, which I'm really pleased about.

I get up because there is just so much out there and you just don't know what's going to happen, that's the great thing.

The more we talk about kindness in business, the more we'll break through the hard structures that have defined business and alienated women from getting to the top.

I think we need to embrace feminism, we need to embrace all of the gifts women bring to the workplace.
