Tales of Transformation with Ann Girling

 

Episode 24: Journey to Becoming Creator of a Global Movement

Date broadcast: 14th January 2025

 

I wanted to write that Wendy is a Disruptor because that’s what she is! She is challenging stereotypes of older women, in particular older female business owners and has instigated a global movement, Refirement, to challenge this and to recognise how much this group of women contribute to economies around the world.. we could have talked for way longer than we did! And we did have time to hear about her other love, crime writing.

 

Wendy has more than 30 years experience working with women business owners in all sectors helping them create business strategy that achieves growth and success.   

She helps mature women become more agile in business and less risk averse, learning how to turn their talents into a commercial advantage. 

 

“My purpose in life is simple: to see older female business owners everywhere flourish so we are recognised as making a significant contribution to the engine house of our economy. Age is a number and it should not limit our aspirations, contribution or ambitions.”

 

She recently founded the Refirement UK movement which is dedicated to redefining retirement for women in the 21^st Century, challenging negative stereotypes and freeing women to live their lives with purpose and continue to make a contribution.

Wendy has published 5 business books and numerous articles translating business theory into business practice. She holds a master’s degree in education and professional development, a range of professional qualifications and is a Fellow of the Institute of Leadership and Management.

 

Wendy is also an author of espionage novels and publishes the Daniel Grant ‘Secrets” series under the pseudonym of Wendy Charlton.
