2025: Linked In Predicts Menopausal Women Leaders Demand Better With Fiona McKay, The Global Menopause Coach

As the founder of a company that’s transforming how workplaces support C-suite menopausal women and female founders, I couldn’t be more proud that LinkedIn have recognised me, and The Menopause Maze™ as one of it’s 25 Big Ideas That Will Change Our World in 2025. This acknowledgment highlights the critical role menopause plays in retaining top talent and driving global growth and innovation in the workplace.

But this isn’t just about me - its about a global growth and innovation movement that’s long overdue.

A New Era for Menopausal Leaders

2025 will be the year that menopausal women leaders demand better. The silence and stigma surrounding menopause in the workplace are breaking, and it’s about time.

For years, menopause has been seen as a private issue—something to endure quietly while juggling the demands of leadership. But the truth is, menopause can’t be ignored. For women in senior C-suite roles, this life stage often overlaps with the most challenging and rewarding parts of their careers. It’s a time when they’re expected to perform at their peak while navigating symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, and emotional changes against the backdrop of the most intense and opportunistic business and boardroom demands.

The result? Too many women feel forced to scale back, step down, or suffer in silence—while their talent, experience, and potential slip away.

This isn’t just a personal issue. It’s a global issue.

Why Menopause Support is Critical for Growth

Here’s the reality: women leaders drive innovation and growth. They bring unique perspectives, emotional intelligence, and a lifetime of experience to their roles. Losing them—whether through burnout, resignation, or a drop in confidence is a loss no organization can afford.

And yet, without proper strategic support, menopause can feel like a roadblock.

It doesn’t have to be.

Supporting menopausal women leaders isn’t just about being kind or inclusive (though it is that, too). It’s about ensuring businesses grow and innovate. When companies step up and provide the specific strategy, tools and resources women leaders need during menopause, the results are transformative—for the women, the workplace and the world.

This isn’t just my belief. We’ve the results and the receipts to prove it.

At The Menopause Maze™, we’ve dedicated ourselves to one goal: helping C-suite women and female founders stay at the top, keep growing their careers and their companies in their businesses and their boardrooms whilst at pinnacle of their careers through all stages of menopause.
