Scooping trophies for SME Growth, Business Innovation & International Business of the Year awards Leanne is also passionate about championing Women in Tech.If there has been a time for tech it has been during the Pandemic, when people have turned to it to pivot their businesses and communicate with loved ones. Leanne herself came to technology when she discovered how it could help her dyslexia. After that she didn't look back, until she hit the glass ceiling. She turned her back on the corporate world and quickly found her entrepreneurial spiritSince then she has championed the importance of women in business and how it’s imperative we encourage young people, boys and girls, into STEM subjects to ensure our future tech leaders. Entrepreneurs are often pushing at the edge of the envelope, and she says that if you develop the courage to believe in yourself and you take the risks and opportunities, then at least, if you do fail, then you know you have tried.Thank you so much Leanne for showing us that even when the odds are against us, it is always possible to make inroads, if we keep showing up and bringing our best selves to the table.You can find out more about Leanne’s work on https://www.e-bate.io/ and follow her on Linkedin @LeanneBonnerCookeMBEJoin Lou on Linkedin, or sign up to her mailing list for her newsletter and a free bite-size short course on how to be a podcast guest.
