About Northern Power Women

We were delighted  to be commissioned to create a podcast for the awesome Northern Power Women. And for nearly two years we produced an hour long magazine stye show each month, bringing you a  no holds barred discussion on the biggest issues that affect our careers and lives – recorded in front of a live audience every single month. There were also in-depth interviews and an advice style section called Ask The Hive.

When Covid-19 hit in March 2020, we pivoted to become a weekly podcast, full of news, updates, discussion and your Life Lessons.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Top class, thought provoking podcast. I love that episodes are recorded in front of a live audience and the panellists are always of high calibre. Always topical, challenging and thought provoking.

The Latest Episode of
Northern Power Women

The brilliant Ngozi Weller and Wayne Bennett join the We Are PoWEr Podcast – bringing honesty, courage, and vision to a powerful conversation about racial equity, authentic leadership, and creating real change in Manchester and beyond.

Their partnership began on a train journey – a chance meeting that sparked a movement. Wayne, a visionary entrepreneur, and Ngozi, a fearless strategist and advocate, combined their complementary strengths to co-found The Racial Equity Group (REG) within Pro Manchester. What started as a shared conversation has evolved into RegConnect – a groundbreaking event that’s redefining how inclusion, business, and opportunity intersect.

Driven by the sobering reality that while Manchester’s ethnic minority population exceeds 18%, representation in leadership sits at just 5%, Ngozi and Wayne are confronting inequity head-on. Their work is about turning awareness into action – bringing corporate leaders and underrepresented professionals into the same room to connect, collaborate, and create lasting impact.

In this episode:

  • How a train journey sparked a movement for racial equity in Manchester
  • Building the Racial Equity Group and RegConnect: collaboration over confrontation
  • The reality of representation: 18% of the population, 5% of leadership
  • Why courage, not comfort, drives meaningful inclusion
  • Turning diversity into business impact – and the data that proves it
  • How authenticity builds movements that last
  • The legacy Wayne and Ngozi are creating for the next generation
