SMASHING THE GLASS CEILING
Michelle Vickers, 56
CEO of the Head and Neck Cancer Foundation, she has enjoyed a stellar career in not-for-profit organisations.
What does this award mean to you? More than I imagined it would. Reliving my improbable journey and acknowledging it fully, I am so proud of myself.
Which woman inspires you? My amazing friends, and Michelle Obama – for the way she balances commitment to family and hard work. I find her empathy, strength and dignity overwhelming.
What are you proudest of and what would you like to achieve? I am most proud of being contented. I feel tranquil, happy and at peace with myself, which has taken a while.
What is Realise that you can have it all, you just need to know what ‘it all’ is. My theory is that ‘all’ is not ‘everything’ but that it’s ‘enough’. Find out what your ‘enough’ is and let go of the rest.
