“Getting a group of senior leaders from various industries together created such rich conversations and opportunity for growth. This did not feel like leadership training - it felt like a personal retreat - but that is only a good thing. It created space for me to consider how to drive the cultural changes and inspire new, supportive ways of working; which is within my gift”

It has given me a lot to think about - I have a lot of room for improvement but I left there thinking that if all those amazing women went on and made small changes in their work places, then all those small changes would lead to bigger, even more exciting ones for everyone.
