the host
Hello I'm Amber Bonney; designer, thinker, mentor, mother, writer, strategist, (now) podcaster and speaker - my achievements are as diverse as my ambitions and interests!
I was once described as "a mouse in a bull dogs costume" which I'm taking to mean my bark is louder than my bite.
My neurodiversity comes with some unique superpowers, I am quick to connect dots and like a bull at a gate when it comes to achieving something I have put my hyper-focused mind to. I describe myself as a dynamic and colourful character, I am always evolving, am perpetually curious and never quite satisfied with the status quo. I live by my personal mantra “Bite Big and chew like hell”.
I'm a proud feminist and passionate about using my expertise and voice to champion for greater gender equity which is why Bite Big is proudly a podcast produced by women, for women.
As one of 5 daughters in my family, I have had the privilege of being surrounded by strong sassy independent women. Same too for my career, each day I am inspired by the strength, humility, empathy and drive of incredible women.
After twenty years in an industry where the status quo is male senior leaders, I appreciate that not all women have the skills, confidence or propensity for self-advocating and being seen. So, through the embodiment of my personal mantra ‘bite big and chew like hell’ (and my very loud voice), I hope to share the eclectic stories of great ‘boss women’ in the hope we empower other women to succeed and find their voice.
