Women leading high growth businesses: International Women’s Day roundtable

IWD is a Global Day that celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.

This year’s theme is Gender Balance in Business and Nottingham is a hub of talent and success stories of powerful women who have created outstanding results in their organisations.

In this session, we bring a panel of these businesswomen together to discuss the secrets of their success, what it is to be a leading businesswoman in today’s society and how to inspire the next generation.

Chaired by inspirational therapist, coach, trainer, author, broadcaster and marketer Rosalyn Palmer, the high growth women in business roundtable will cover:

• What skills women can harness to deliver the results that work for them and their organisations
• Secrets to business success
• How to maintain balance and sanity whilst achieving high growth
• And more…

This is an unmissable opportunity for women in business to share their stories and make valuable connections.
