To kick off this year with something a little different, Birketts have launched an exciting series of speaker events under the theme of ‘Gender in Business Leadership’. We have lined up a series of inspirational women who are leaders in their field. They will each discuss a range of topics that we think will have wide appeal to many and should make for an engaging and inspiring session.
On 4 March we will hear from Mandy Hickson
Mandy Hickson overcame huge obstacles and setbacks before realising her dream of becoming a Royal Air Force pilot. Mandy was the second woman to fly the Tornado GR4 operationally and shares her experience to help us communicate better, empower ourselves and others, and draw the very best from the team around us.
It was early on that Mandy learned not to shy away from failure. After two unsuccessful attempts at the RAF flying aptitude tests, reaching the limit of times that they can be taken, her goals appeared to be unattainable. Undeterred, Mandy went on to join the RAF.
Stressing the need to remain calm under pressure, leading from the front, and how to make strategic decisions when faced with risk, Mandy shares how to communicate, empower and how to draw the best from herself and others.
She continues to support the success of women as Founder and Co-Director of Inspiring Women for Work (IWFW).
How to join the event:
We have structured them as early evening events in the hope that we can bring a little light relief as well as some fresh inspiration to people in these difficult times.
