Synopsis

Disruptive Women is your guide to changing the status quo in the education system.

Drawing from rich, varied perspectives from across the global WomenEd community it offers guidance, solidarity and real-life examples of how to make change happen in four vital areas:

• Increasing the representation of women in educational leadership
• Breaking down barriers that exclude diverse women from leadership roles
• Disrupting the gender pay gap for women leaders
• Championing flexible working for more equitable working cultures

This is unmissable reading for anyone working in schools, universities and other educational organisations who recognises the need to disrupt, innovate and to change education to be more inclusive, equitable and diverse.

Lisa Hannay is an Assistant Principal in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Lisa's WomenEd journey began at a conference many years ago when she attended two WomenEd sessions. There was a palpable energy that was uplifting and empowering. Lisa discovered that the mission and values of WomenEd aligned beautifully with her own desire to create disruption and to challenge the status quo. Lisa wrote a chapter for the second WomenEd book, Being 10% Braver, and has contributed to articles spotlighting women in leadership along with Vivienne Porritt. Lisa is one of the trustees and Global Strategic Leaders for WomenEd and gets up every morning to cause a little good trouble.

My journey in education began back in 2006, when I eagerly stepped into the bustling halls of inner-city London schools. I immersed myself in the dynamic landscape of education, refining my skills and nurturing a deep passion for learning. In 2014, fuelled by a desire for new experiences and challenges, I made the bold decision to embark on an international adventure. With my family by my side, we embarked on a journey that led us to Oman, where I continued my career in education within a global context by 2020 during the height of the pandemic my journey took me to Qatar where I am now based.

As I navigated the intricacies of international education, I found myself drawn to a new mission: supporting and empowering women in leadership roles. Over the years, my firsthand experiences have highlighted the barriers that women often face on their leadership journey. Driven by a dedication to equality and progress, I have committed myself to breaking down these barriers and championing the advancement of women in the field.

Through mentorship, advocacy, and a relentless pursuit of change, I strive to create a more inclusive and equitable environment for all aspiring female leaders in education as a trustee and Global Strategic Leader for WomenEd.
