What does it really take to lead when the pressure is relentless, the stakes are global, and the room wasn’t built for you in the first place? On 25 June, Elizabeth is joined by Claire Williams OBE, former Deputy Team Principal of Williams Racing, one of the most iconic teams in Formula 1. Claire is also one of the only two women to have ever managed teams in Formula One and the youngest ever Deputy team Principal in motorsports. This isn’t just a conversation about racing. It’s about the moments no one sees: the doubt behind closed doors, the weight of leadership at its lowest point, and the sacrifices that don’t make headlines. We’ll talk about what it means to be underestimated and still rise, whether women are still forced to prove themselves more—and how to push back without apology. And for any woman who feels stuck right now, we’re getting practical: how to build confidence before you feel ready, make decisions in uncertainty, and take that first uncomfortable step forward. This is a conversation about pressure, power, and becoming the leader, you didn’t know you could be. She’s a mother, a wife, Public Speaker, Vice President of the Spinal Injuries Association, Officer of the Order of the British Empire and the former leader of Williams F1 team. Claire Williams OBE, welcome to Empowered. Claire’s closing words of wisdom to you are, "As women, we have responsibilities in the workplace to make our environments better for our female colleagues, but also the next generation. We have a responsibility to create better pathways for those girls and women who are starting their journeys. My advice is always to pay it forward".
