Pauline Stewart, Managing Director
Managing Director,
Pauline Stewart

is one of the UK’s strongest and most vocal advocates for the advancement of women. A special constable for ten years and now a magistrate, her professionalism and high moral values have won her the admiration and friendship of business people in all walks of life.

“ Pauline’s like sunshine – her personality and drive fill the room, and it’s impossible not to get caught up in her enthusiasm. Her knowledge, abundant way of thinking and generous leadership approach mean that she is one of my most valued and respected business associates.”

Since joining IDH in 2002, Pauline’s primary goal has been to help women develop to their full potential, and to become confident and competent leaders. She has introduced two training programmes “Women in Leadership – the Confident Leader” and “Walking With Wolves”, both of which have received widespread praise from delegates.

In recent months Pauline has become the UK Ambassador for the De Bono Foundation UK and has recently become a Certified Instructor for The 6 Thinking Hats.

September 2008 will also see Pauline wearing two more ‘hats’ and taking on the position of Chairman of Friends of Bedford Hospital and President of Bedfordshire Business Women.


“ It is difficult to say with certainty what a world truly based on gender equality would look like, since we are still so far from achieving it. Experience over the past decades has certainly produced evidence that a more gender-equal world would be a better world. The [UN] Secretary General Kofi Annan once said that there was no development tool more effective than the empowerment of women.”
Carolyn Hannan, Director,
Division for the Advancement of Women,

“An amazing two days. I came away absolutely buzzing with new ideas and a fresh view on how to tackle potential obstacles. Gaining an ILM Level 5 award gave even more credibility to what is an outstanding development programme.”

"You can achieve your goals.
You can be whatever you want to be.
Believe in yourself and, instead of asking “why”, ask “why not?”

“ Just wanted to say thank for arranging the Skills for Life course yesterday and Hugh for presenting it. It was really useful to get a few of the NCT (National Childbirth Trust) members together to consider how we can improve our communication and fundraising techniques and also given me a kick-start in my own personal development plans.

Thank you for organising the Skills for Life course, it was well structured and beneficial to the work I do. I learnt a lot about communication and how to look at different situations in life. It goes without saying that the course was good fun and we were well looked after, please pass on my thanks to Hugh."
