Redefining Leadership: Tamara Somers on Turning Strategy Into Systemic Change | Ep 153

Leadership isn’t about fitting into a system that was never built for you. It’s about reshaping that system to reflect how you lead best.

In this episode of Pennyology, I sit down with Tamara Somers—globally recognised sustainability strategist and Impact Maker—to unpack what leadership looks like when you turn bold strategy into real, systemic change on your terms.

We dive into the power of engaging the right stakeholders, why sustainability is the leadership imperative, and how women like Tam are challenging performative norms to lead with purpose and long-term impact.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why sustainability is leadership—not a side project
• How to engage stakeholders who unlock systemic change
• The difference between performative action and purposeful impact
• How Tamara redefined leadership through the Impact Makers community
• Why If Not You, Then Who? is a question every woman should be asking
