could remember at one of our events. Lee was brilliant; he provided some very
practical takeaways to support our community with presenting, networking
and being the best, confident and authentic versions of themselves. There was
such fantastic energy in the room; so many future leaders keen to network and
learn. What a lovely touch to also be able to get a professional photo to help with

Thank you to our sponsors:
“The two workshops were fantastic for helping me continue to plan my own
professional development. Ross Jones first hosted a skill workshop looking at
resilience, where I learned about the 5 F’s, which I will definitely continue to utilise
moving forward. Helen Wade then helped me look at how I can build my own
brand, with a particular focus on requesting and utilising feedback, not just on the
quality of my work, but also on myself as an individual. It’s great to have attended
these events and to take away tangible benefits that I know will help my career in
both the short and long term.”
