Session: Shifting Perceptions and Changing the Narrative

Sharing aspects of her research looking at the experience of belonging and psychological safety in the workplace for introverted leaders, Carol will talk about how introverts can thrive as leaders, whilst being their authentic selves.

• Dispel myths and misconceptions about introverted leaders.
• Understand what you need to thrive as an introverted leader (and for non-introverted leaders how you can better support introverted team members to thrive).
• How to shift perceptions about introversion, change the narrative, and tap into your introverted powers so you can be ALL you can authentically be.

Great things happen when we get together. That’s why we’re bringing you Nurture Network Live 2024 taking place this year, in central London.  It takes a village is a day focused on supporting women in their careers and businesses, giving them a seat at the table.

Come and grow your network, and meet people who could become valuable allies.  Connect with the investors who are shaping the next generation of innovators and creators and hear a list of inspiring speakers and more.  Grab your early bird ticket before 28 June.

We’re in an era where the main character’s energy reigns supreme/is celebrated and the thing to aim for. And it’s brilliant, it sees people, particularly women and underrepresented groups, taking back control of their narrative. But if you’re not careful it can feel like a bit of a solo pursuit.

What about the supporting cast!? Every leading lady needs a supporting cast. Much like this year’s theme implies, it really does take a village to turn out a well-rounded successful business. Yes we know the original phrase refers to bringing children up, but…

Building on ideas touched upon in the inaugural Nurture Network Live 2023 event – around asking for and accepting help, and how success is not achieved alone – this theme would explore how female founders and business leaders can call on the support of their own “village” to build their business and thrive in their careers.

Sign up to secure your early bird ticket and seat before 28 June to avoid disappointment.

Date:  Tuesday 17 September 2024 | 9:30am -3:30pm
Location:  Rise London, 41 Luke Street London EC2A 4DP
