SEED WOMEN’S WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE FORUM
HSBC Bank and specifically their Regional Director for London, Carol L. Bagnald (left), hosted my first Women’s Wisdom and Knowledge Forum last week at their palatial Pall Mall offices. An audience of around eighty top women business leaders participated in an incredible evening of stories, conversations and networking.
My two panelists, Bernadette Wightman, Managing Director of Cisco Systems PLC and Juliet Davenport, CEO of Good Energy PLC together with Carol Bagnald allowed me to lead them through their personal stories and experiences as women business leaders, followed by our SEED Café style conversation and ending in a wonderful talk by my old friend Ruby Wax on authentic rapport based on her highly successful TV chat shows.
Although each one will be different, we are now planning to take these Women’s Wisdom and Knowledge Forums through the UK and hopefully Europe, in partnership with HSBC.

"Thank you so much for delivering the HSBC Lecture. Your lecture/talk was interesting, entertaining and provocative and was incredibly well received. As you mentioned, the topic you chose was a challenging one given the "current climate" however you handled it marvellously and it was perhaps more pertinent than ever. One thing is for sure everyone was blown away by your passion and drive - you truly are a brilliant motivator and an inspirational figurehead." Liz Thomas, Head of Events, Brunel University
