If you are an entrepreneur, influencer, blogger, freelancer or just a lone soldier trying to leave your mark on the world, we know how lonely it can get working on your own! Which is why we decided to start this inspiring, supportive, and informative working group.
Come and join us, be it just popping in for a coffee, or sitting with us for the whole day. Let’s build a community where you can work on your solo projects, while also having the chance to chat with like-minded women who are in the same boat as you. Sharing a space together with friendly faces, a proactive attitude and similar mindsets has got to help create focus, creativity and productivity, no? As a collective, there’s no doubt we’ll all have a varied skill set and all kinds of different expertise, so what better way to network and maybe even ask for new ideas!
We will start the day at 11am and finish it around 4pm. You also have the opportunity to attend a speaker talk regarding Time Management (joint coworking or talk only tickets available)
You can register for the talk below as well, or you can come only for the Coworking Day too.
During the day feel free to dip in and out, bring your laptop with you, and sit with us for a relaxed and informal work day. What you work on is up to you. Our aim is to co-create a work culture based on productivity, collaboration and growth with your help. You will also get to see and hear what our team is working on, share tips with each other, discuss the latest digital strategies and maybe even get advice on how to tackle your immediate working concerns.
Life seems that little bit easier when we can discuss and explore its many complications together.
Please note this event is for ladies only, unless otherwise agreed by The Merit Club

more
The experience of “intellectual fraudulence” is common and is likely to be at the heart of why diversity and inclusion initiatives are not gaining traction. Dr Terri Simpkin is continuing the research by looking at whether and/or how the IP is impacting on women in STEM and non-traditional occupations, such as finance.
Dr Terri Simpkin is an academic, researcher and expert in emerging leadership and management theory, but, like many other people, Terri has experienced the Imposter Phenomenon – that intense but irrational feeling of intellectual fraudulence. Braver Stronger, Smarter (www.braverstongersmarter.com) is based on over forty years of empirical research and driven by Terri’s own international research into the IP, and is a suite of initiatives aimed at developing personal mastery, recognising latent talent in those who may not see their own potential. It offers a blend of insight for professional impact, personal mastery and greater workplace effectiveness.
In this short interactive session, From Faker to Fearless, Terri aims to provide people with a clear picture of what the imposter phenomenon (IP) is, what the impacts are, how it can be overcome, and to better inform women about the IP beyond the narrow and shallow focus often found on social media.

Join The Independent for a panel discussion and Q&A, with panellists including Asifa Lahore and Peter Tatchell.
When the first UK Gay Pride Rally took place in London on 1st July 1972, it attracted around two thousand people.
In 2018, more than a million attended Pride in London to celebrate the LGBT+ community.
Around the world, LGBT+ equality appears to be in good health: Taiwan has taken great strides towards becoming the first Asian country to legalise same-sex marriage, India has decriminalised homosexuality and same-sex marriage is now legal in twenty six countries.
However, reports of ‘gay purges’ continue to emerge from Chechnya and the United States Supreme Court recently upheld the Trump administration’s limit on transgender recruitment.
In Brazil, recently-elected right-wing President Bolsonaro said in 2011 that he is “homophobic with pride” and, since his election, Brazil’s first openly gay politician, Jean Wyllys, has fled the country following death threats. More recently, a “heinous” and “inhumane” new law means that LGBT+ people can now be stoned and whipped to death in Brunei.
As Pride in London marches towards it 37th incarnation, we ask: what is the role of Pride in 2019?
How can participating in Pride in the United Kingdom help others around the world whose struggle endures?
What can be done to effect actual change and empower the LGBT+ community around the world?

“Access to creative and talented people is for modern organizations what coal and iron was for the steel industry” Professor Richard Florida, University of Toronto.
Many studies have shown a direct correlation between creativity and an inclusive environment characterised by psychological safety, yet the required shifts in awareness and behaviour still elude many leaders. Mindful leadership now points to the answer, with recent research showing mindfulness helps raise inclusive leadership (EY, 2017).

This year, the World Cup in France promises to be the biggest footballing party that the women’s game has ever known, and coverage is starting to ramp up.
Over the last few months, we’ve seen big-name sponsors come on board, with the likes of Visa and Barclays investing heavily into women’s football specifically. In the afterglow of the competition, we’ll ask a panel of experts what needs to happen next to ensure women’s football continues its upward trajectory.
How does the sport build on the interest this summer to ensure that the club game and future international tournaments continue to build on the platform we now have?

Professional women face particular challenges when it comes to speaking up, maximising their value, being visibly brilliant & getting promoted.

“In a meeting, I wait for a space to speak but it doesn’t come up, so I say nothing”
“I don’t get taken seriously because they think I’m young and attractive”
Come and learn from a communications expert who’s helped Hollywood stars and business leaders from FTSE 100 firms shine live on air at the BBC! She can share her 27 years of experience to help you get your voice heard and master the art of clear and confident communication.

Why run an ultra-marathon when you can trek one through the glorious Peak District National Park? This demanding and rewarding ultra-marathon distance trek is returning for its second year. By tackling this challenge, you’ll help more people living with a terminal illness get the care and support they need.
Starting at the crack of dawn, you’ll trek over 26 miles of valleys, hamlets, woodland, lanes, dales and villages.
After an early morning team briefing, we’ll gather together for the team photo and big countdown that will see you head out onto the course to start your adventure. With guides and signs to direct you and volunteers along the course to keep you on track, you’ll meet new friends and explore new places as you navigate around the National Park.
Team Marie Curie wants you to look and feel the part when you’re exploring the great outdoors. So along with your welcome pack, which will contain lots of great fundraising advice and support, you’ll get your breathable high-tech trekking top to wear on the day.
You’ll also receive advice on the kit you’ll need to face the elements, and training advice to make sure you’re in the best shape possible to go the distance.
You can look forward to support from our team of highly trained mountain guides on the day. And in addition, our fantastic team of staff and volunteers will greet you with a warm welcome as you arrive. They’ll also celebrate your success with you as you finish your challenge, with a post-trek reception and medal for every trekker to wear with pride.
You’ll leave with stories to tell of your amazing adventure and the friends you made along the way, confident that you’ve helped Marie Curie offer vital care to people and their families living with a terminal illness.
