Working Girls Network Goes Speed Mentoring

Speed mentoring with industry-leading women.

Speed mentoring is a WGN member favourite and we were delighted to be able to do it in person this year! Attendees were mentored at speed by a group of inspiring women who shared advice and stories from their varied careers.

In this session, attendees were split into small groups and spent time with 5 of our mentors, asking them questions and getting advice on topics like:

• Moving into a leadership position

• Changing careers to follow your passions

• Starting afresh after redundancy

The Mentors:

• Jessica Markowski - Director QSR and Global Restaurant Brands at Deliveroo

• Steph Matthews - Senior Business Director at Creative Equals and former President at Bloom

• Charlotte Brooks - Managing Director at Mischief

• Sarah Salter Nash - Director at Hanover Communications

• Kerrita McClaughlyn - Global Sustainable Brand Communications Manager at Mars Petcare

• Lisa Quinn - Executive and Leadership Coach and Founder at Lisa Quinn Coaching

• Thea Parnell - Head of Digital at Studio, MHP

• Kamiqua Lake FRSA - CEO Coldr and the UK Black Comms Network

• Stephanie Lis - Director at Hanover Communications and former Deputy Press Secretary to the Prime Minister

And of course, there was lots of time for signature WGN networking and drinks! Thank you to Hanover Communications for hosting us for this event.

A charity donation of £2.50 from each ticket sale was made to Restless Development.
