Transform Menopause into Your Leadership Edge
Turning Menopause from a Career Disrupter into a Leadership Accelerator
Menopause isn't just personal. It's a leadership conversation.
And it’s time we stop whispering.
You’ve earned your place in leadership through vision, resilience, and hard work. Yet when your body begins to navigate a transition that most people don’t talk about—and few doctors are trained to support—it can feel isolating.
Sleepless nights. Energy shifts. Mental fog—or a hot flash during a high-stakes meeting. For women in leadership, these moments appear right at the height of our careers, when we’re carrying immense responsibility, possibility, and influence.
But here’s the truth: menopause doesn’t have to hold you back. It can become
your greatest leadership edge.
Why Leadership Can't Afford the Silence
Perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause are natural biological transitions and over 51% of the population will experience them—yet most companies and leadership programs ignore them completely.
This silence costs us.
Did you know:
-
1 in 5 women consider leaving their jobs due to menopause symptoms.
-
1 in 10 have missed work in the past year because of them.
-
The U.S. economy loses an estimated $1.8 billion annually in work loss due to menopause-related challenges.
At the same time, these are the years when women are stepping into senior roles, boardrooms, and entrepreneurship. This isn’t just a personal wellness issue—it’s a leadership and business issue.
Forward-thinking leaders and organizations are ready to change.

About Dr. Laurie Addison
As an executive coach and leadership development expert, I’ve guided senior leaders through every kind of transition—acquisitions, promotions, start-ups, crises, and reinventions.
Now, I bring that same expertise to one of the most under-discussed transitions in leadership: menopause.
My own personal menopause journey inspired me to dive deep into this area and find answers to what was happening to me, physiologically and psychologically, and at the very height of my corporate career as an executive-level leader. Armed with a doctorate in organizational leadership and change management, advanced certifications in women’s health and menopause management, combined with executive coaching methods and leadership psychology, I help women leaders either maintain or reclaim their edge and thrive.
Together, we’ll ensure that menopause becomes your leadership accelerator not your career disruptor.
