Episode Details

This end-of-year special looks at what 2025 has really taught us across business, health, public services, and our wider Northern PoWEr Women community. 

We reflect on a full year of Northern PoWEr Women activity, from the Awards Roadshow , where Dr Penny stepped confidently into her new alter-ego, DJ Penny PoWEr, to reading 1,800 nominations that showed the scale of impact being created in every sector.

And as we close out the year, we’re already preparing for a major milestone: the 10th anniversary of the Northern PoWEr Women Awards on 12th March 2026!

This episode leaves you with one clear, practical takeaway: implementation intentions, a simple tool to help you follow through when motivation dips... plus a final send-off with Penny and Simone on the DJ decks.

In this episode:

• What this year’s 1,800 Award nominations revealed
• Behind the judging, the roadshow, and why celebration still matters
• Confidence from trying something new (including DJing!)
• A simple networking approach that saves time and energy
• The 10th anniversary Awards coming in March
• Implementation intentions and how to put them into practice
• How to take 2025’s lessons into 2026 with focus and momentum
