Dr. Giselle Goodwin
Dr. Giselle Goodwin grew up in Canada and now lives in Cheshire, England with her husband and two teenage daughters. Over the course of a 25-year career, she co-founded, grew and successfully sold three businesses: two in healthcare and one in recruitment. Alongside this, Dr. Goodwin navigated countless children’s birthday parties, sports events, parent-teacher meetings and dentist appointments. While juggling her career and family life, she often felt like she was failing on all fronts. Driven by a desire to find a better way – not just for herself but for her children – Dr. Goodwin returned to university to explore the elusive issue of women’s work-life balance. In 2022, she completed a PhD on women, work and well-being, and her first book is the culmination of that research. Dr. Giselle Goodwin is passionately interested in all causes relating to equality and social justice.
