004: What happens when one woman decides not just to break the glass ceiling—but to hold the door open for others? In this inspiring episode of #HerPerspective, we sit down with Iffat Chaudhry—a trailblazer in the AV industry, fierce advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and the powerful voice behind the WhatIff videocast. Born in London to a Pakistani immigrant father who arrived in the 1960s with just £5 and a dream, Iffat shares how her upbringing, identity, and lived experiences shaped her path to leadership. From navigating male-dominated spaces to launching a platform that amplifies underrepresented voices, Iffat’s story is one of resilience, purpose, and paying it forward. In this episode, we explore: - Her personal journey and what drives her DEI work - The power of challenging the status quo in traditional industries - How to create safe spaces and build inclusive environments - Why paying it forward is not just a value—but a strategy for real change - Advice for young women building their confidence in leadership roles Iffat reminds us that when one woman rises, she creates space for many more.
