Come & Join us at St. Paul’s Cathedral to celebrate International Women’s Day: Tues 10th March 2015

We would like to invite you to join us for a special event held in partnership with St. Paul’s Cathedral to celebrate International Women’s day on Tuesday 10th March 2015 6:00-8:00pm.

St Paul’s Institute, in partnership with Girls Talk London, is hosting a mentoring event for young women aged 16 – 24 that will bring them into discussion with professionals from throughout the City. This event will provide a chance for aspiring women to hear more about their professions of interest, whilst also forging connections and receiving the intergenerational wisdom that is key to promoting a more meaningful relationship to work founded on professional integrity.

The event will begin with a keynote speech from Hemione Hudson, Senior Partner at PwC who will be talking about this year’s theme for International Women’s Day ‘Make it Happen’.

Following this there will be a speed mentoring session where mentors will be seated on tables around the crypt area of the Cathedral. The audience will carousel around the tables having the chance to speak and network with women from many different industries to ask them for advice and find out about their career and life journey. (Girls Talk London will provide briefing sheets before the event so the audience can prepare some questions in advance)
