Access to senior women in our profession is so often difficult to get, and the opportunity to network with real industry leaders – providing us with candid insights into their roles and responsibilities, and how they got there – should not be missed!

We have put together a list of exceptional women who are willing to share their insight and learnings with our members. In facilitated mentoring sessions, you will learn how these inspiring leaders developed their careers and achieved their success, how to create a realistic work/life balance, and anything else you want to know, but haven't had the opportunity to ask!

These intimate group sessions will give each participant the opportunity to hear from the mentors, through timed 20 minute talks. There will be plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion.
