The Working Woman conference was an absolute KNOCK OUT EVENT! in the words of Valerie Dwyer (serial entrepreneur) who opened our conference and highlighted snippets from the life challenges she had to overcome to start and develop 10 plus businesses. Followed by Jo Cameron, former BBC tv 'The Apprentice' sharing her 'Women on their Way'. Jo is one of the most outstanding female speakers I have ever seen. Feeback from many women in the room was amazing many thanks were given for our 2 amazing speakers.
Our hearts almost stopped when Siobhan Bullock from City Hearts Sheffield told us of the amazing work going on to help women. City Hearts is a residential programme for women overcoming serious life issues such as drug and alcohol addictions, self harm, unplanned pregnancies, depression and eating disorders. The project also provides a refuge for women coming out of prostitution and exploitation.
So touched by their work our Entrepreneurs Ladder Member Fiona Jagger (Director of the IT Trainer) is starting to gather women together to do a sponsored 40 mile walk in April 2010 in Coventry! In just one week she has got men and women on board already! If you are interested in joining us for such a worthy cause please contact Fiona on fiona@thetwhgroup.co.uk
