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 Birmingham on Friday 4th October, 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.

A workshop for women who want to learn
more
Negotiation is an essential skill
We’ve all done it, missed out on more money and great opportunities because we were worried to ask for what we want, didn’t know how to ask or were point blank refused.
But it’s not women’s fault they feel too uncomfortable to negotiate on their own behalf when we’ve been conditioned to feel this way by society since we were born. Research confirms that men are four times more likely than women to negotiate, especially when it comes to their salary. As a result women can lose out on making £600,000 more over their working life(!)
The ability to negotiate was identified by the World Economic Forum as one of the top ten skills you need to succeed in the modern workplace – so it is time to brush up on this essential skill.
Who is this workshop for
This workshop is for self-identifying women who recognise the importance of being able to negotiate effectively on their own behalf and want to learn how to develop their own strategies.
About the workshop
She Wins has designed this workshop especially for women to give them the skills and confidence to negotiate on their own behalf. The key to a successful negotiation is preparation and understanding the potential pitfalls and roadblocks.
This is a practical workshop with plenty of group discussion and exercises for practicing your new negotiation skills so don’t expect to just sit and listen! We will provide you with useful templates and take away materials for you to continue learning and practicing.
By the end of this workshop you’ll understand the theory of negotiation and be actively looking forward to putting it into practise!
We’ll kick off with some light breakfast (pastry and hot drinks), giving you time to meet the other awesome attendees and get to know each other.

She Wins empowers women by giving them the skills and confidence to recognise and negotiate for their full value. They train businesses to change the way they negotiate with women and close the gender pay gap.
She Wins was founded by Clare and Kate, two female tech entrepreneurs based on their own experience of negotiation and research with 650 women, dozens of companies and with the aim of increasing women’s pay and reducing the gender pay gap.

more
Our event is in association with Telegraph Women and in support of charity Founders4Schools, which connects women business leaders with schools. To date, they have facilitated 490,554 student encounters – that is almost half a million pupils who have been inspired by a business leader in their classroom.
Funding can be anything from borrowing money from friends and family, to bank loans, grants and angel investment to institutional investment.
Knowing about funding is applicable for businesses of all shapes and sizes — not just for big businesses or tomorrow’s unicorns.
At our event we will hear from a panel of women who have firsthand experience of all types of funding, and the punches they have rolled with along the way.
We will also touch on questions around how to know what your company is worth, the risks involved with taking on external funding and how investment can help you grow.
The evening will also feature an inspirational showcase of women-led brands, with an opportunity to meet the founders and experience the innovation and creativity of their businesses.
Your ticket fee includes delicious salad rolls from Kaleido (as seen at Selfridges), sweet treats from Good Cake Day and flowing Thomson & Scott bubbles.
You will also have an opportunity to experience the beautiful products from Belinda Robertson Cashmere, Sarah Haran UK, Yogi Bare and Scentered.

According to UN Environment, the fashion industry produces 20 per cent of global wastewater and ten per cent of global carbon emissions – more than all international flights and maritime shipping.
But, we have the power to do something about it. Starting with more conscious purchasing decisions and being aware of what we buy and who we support by it.
Come and meet three amazing fashion brands and their founders who will be discussing topics including:
Whether you’re interested in starting a fashion business, excited to hear the story behind a great brand, or are into living sustainably, we hope this event will inspire you to ditch fast fashion in favor of timeless pieces made by sustainable and ethical small businesses.
