Organizations claim to champion equity, yet the moment women hit perimenopause, the system exposes itself. Suddenly, the woman who has carried teams, projects, and entire departments is moving more slowly in the morning, fighting brain fog in meetings, and overworking just to maintain the performance she once delivered effortlessly. Instead of asking why, workplaces mislabel these changes as disengagement or declining capability.

The result? Unnecessary performance dips, evaporating confidence, shrinking leadership pipelines, and avoidable turnover that drains millions from the bottom line.

In this provocative BOLD Talk, Dr. Mariah Prince-Allen introduces Hormone-Intelligent Leadership, exposing how the menopause transition creates an unseen equity gap and reframing women’s biology as a structural issue—not a personal deficiency. Attendees will learn how ignoring midlife physiology becomes institutional bias, and the bold redesigns required to retain and elevate the women who anchor culture, continuity, and organizational stability.
