“ You may not always realise it, but the way you show up every day – how you lead, how you treat people and how you keep moving forward – can have a far greater impact than you think,” Linoy says of her leadership style. In particular, her success has resonated with other women who have similar battles to face.
She says:“ Over the years, many women have come to me and said,‘ Keep going – you’ re showing us the way.’ I remember feeling genuinely surprised when I heard that because at the time I was simply trying to keep pace with everything: my career, my children, my home life and commitments outside of work, including charity work.
“ It was a reminder that visibility matters. Sometimes, simply continuing
– especially when it’ s hard – gives someone else permission to believe they can do it too.”
Turning her attention to the next generation, Linoy ranks mentoring as a high priority in her current position.
“ That’ s also why mentoring matters,” she concludes.“ Mentoring isn’ t just a nice to have – it can be a turning point, particularly for young people who may not have consistent support or role models around them. At its best, mentoring creates confidence, connection and opportunity.”
