more
Join us for an exclusive Women in Defence UK networking evening on Wednesday 6th November, with Michelle Partington, Woman of the Year 2018. The evening is made possible by our wonderful Event Partner, DXC Technology.
At the Women in Defence UK Awards 2018, Michelle won both the Special Award and Woman of the Year for her extensive work since retiring from the RAF.
Joining the RAF as an Aircraftwoman in 1991, Michelle reached the rank of Sergeant before commissioning as a Medical Support Officer. After 23 years’ service in the RAF as a frontline paramedic, and indeed as the first female paramedic with the RAF Regiment, Michelle was medically discharged with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Michelle was living a daily nightmare and could initially see no way out except to plan to end her own life.
Michelle set up a foundation called ‘Behind The Mask’, providing free online support to help other individuals stuck in a nightmare. She has also now set up a business in delivering mental health first aid training and awareness workshops. In October 2017 Michelle joined a 90-strong team of athletes to compete in the Invictus Games as part of Team GB, in both rowing and powerlifting.
Michelle’s story has been covered on TV, following her journey since being diagnosed with PTSD. She hopes her inspirational story can provide hope to others that they can overcome adversity to have a good quality of life. As Michelle says: “You walk away from one fight only to walk into another, but it is one that you can win if you want to”.
At this event, not only will you have the opportunity to hear Michelle’s remarkable story but you’ll also be able to network with a diverse audience drawn from right across the defence enterprise during the dedicated networking part of the evening following Michelle’s talk. Our aim is to bring people together to create contacts and networks, share experience, expertise and inspiration.
Plus, drinks and nibbles are included too.
Anyone working across defence is welcome.

We’re not talking about science fiction here. These once-novel concepts are becoming ever more standard in businesses across the country. Join us as we explore how to keep up.
Technology like robots, drones and self-driving cars is held up as the key driver behind the Fourth Industrial Revolution — but dig a little deeper, and you’ll find there’s more than meets the eye.
The digital native generation is entering the workplace with expectations around patterns of work and corporate responsibility which organisations are having to respond to. The ageing nature of an increasingly diverse workforce brings both new opportunities and challenges alike, with key puzzles like lifelong learning and diversity and inclusion to solve — and that’s only scratching the surface…
Join us in Bristol on Tuesday 12th November, as we discuss the six key areas in which the business world is evolving, and the skills managers and leaders need to develop now to stay relevant as they unfold.

Save the date for Empowering Women in Business 2019, an event run by us with the aim of discussing the role of women in the workforce and the issues, challenges and the evolution of business in 2019 in a room of like-minded females has been announced, taking place on November 14th.
This is the second year that the discussions have revolved around the wider world of business and businesswomen across all sectors, rather than solely a franchise industry focus. This year, the key theme revolves around ‘The Changing Culture of Business’, with a particular focus on confidence and visibility. Speakers include prominent businesswomen such as Grace Harding, CEO of South African seafood restaurant chain Ocean Basket as well as keynote speaker Penny Haslam, former BBC business reporter and Panorama presenter, with a key focus on shrugging off ‘imposter syndrome’. Other influential businesswomen speaking complement the event.
Pip Wilkins, CEO of the bfa, who started her franchising journey 20 years ago and became CEO in 2016, stated: “Empowering Women in Business was an initiative I started eight years ago. Initially for women in franchising, I realised so many themes resonated outside of the industry and with business in general, so opened up the discussion to a wider demographic.”
“In the years we have been running the event, working culture has changed so much. In general, I have seen a lot of progress, but there is still a lot to do and misconceptions to dispel.”
The day will consist of a number of speakers giving professional advice, along with workshops and discussion panels.

more
In an afternoon of live discussion, debate and exploration we will collectively re-define a new, modern masculinity and celebrate the benefits of this for a happier, more fulfilling and inclusive workplace.
The word ‘hero’ conjures a mythical figure unattainable for men in today’s world. However, there are many men who have faced difficulty and heartache and triumphed, not through brute force, but by expanding their capacity for vulnerability. These men show us the opportunity of relinquishing privilege and letting go of outdated stereotypes.
By challenging the limiting and narrow constructs of masculinity that currently exist in the workplace, we will curate a fresh conversation to provide inspiration for change. We will look at the opportunities for male leaders to embrace change, expand their capacity for vulnerability, proudly work flexibly and stimulate an open conversation around mental health issues.
Join us in creating a culture of inclusion for the workplace; a culture where being a male leader is a celebration of positive vulnerability, dual caregiving and balanced mental health.
The event is for anyone who is passionate about driving gender equality in the workplace and we welcome everyone however they identify or express themselves. In particular we would love to see a broad representation of CEOs, CMOs, HR Directors and Inclusion & Diversity Practioners. Irrespective expect to come away with:

Are you running on empty, firing on all cylinders or somewhere inbetween?
What possibilties open up for you and your business in 2020 if you and your people work in healthier ways, with more energy, creativity and clarity between you?
Our beliefs and thoughts drive our actions. When we get stuck in closed loop thinking we act from a place of powerlessness and feel stuck and frustated. We make poor choices, bad decisions and our confidence takes a dive. We procrastinate and our performance suffers and has a ripple effect on those around us. No matter how senior or experienced we are.
This one day experiential workshop will help you understand how to create greater health and wellbeing and shift into and maintain a growth mindset, critical for all Leaders in business today. It will help ensure you have strong foundations in place for unshakeable trust in your own intuition, connection to a deeper knowing and the ability to forge more authentic relationships with stakeholders and those that you lead. The cost of underperformance in business is rising to critical levels but you can help turn the tide.
I’m a coach working with senior female leaders; helping transform their health, growth and impact so they can model better ways of working to shift our corporate culture into something we all want to be a part of. I know thousands of women (myself included) who have used these tools to unlock an incredible feminine power that transforms the way we work and lead. I’ve seen the most brilliant minds struggle with how to change their thinking, pushing themselves to use strategies and intelligence to solve a problem, only to discover the key is something much simpler.
Having access to these tried and tested practical tools will help you be the strong and secure leader you want to be; inspiring change and making a difference in a way that’s sustainable for you and those around you.
