everywoman

An update from our Co-Founders, Karen Gill MBE and Maxine Benson MBE as we embark on a new partnership with AllBright.   "Well, what a journey so far…      25 years ago, when we started everywoman, we were pioneering in our approach.  We wanted to create a community for women, where they could come together to share experiences and have a voice in the commercial world. We specifically wanted to showcase the amazing things women were achieving in business and get their stories profiled, especially in the media.      From our modest beginnings in a room in the loft, we have gone on to publishing pivotal reports and manifestos, influencing the conversation and strengthening the argument for change. From listening to ambitious women who shared their stories of keeping their heads down in the hope their talent would be spotted, to launching awards and events across industry sectors to uncover thousands of role models to inspire future generations. From an informal group coaching session on building self-confidence, to an extensive suite of leadership development programmes that over 200,000 women have attended.     We’re making progress and are immensely proud of all we have achieved so far. The everywoman global community has been so instrumental in helping us shape everything we do, we couldn’t have done it without this support and generosity of spirit. But it must be said, the passion and commitment has been shown in greatest abundance by the incredible everywoman team, both past and present. You are the best.     This shared passion and vision for advancing women in business, coupled with an unwavering commitment to fostering diverse, inclusive workplace cultures where everyone thrives and businesses flourish, has been the driving force since 1999.  As we celebrate our milestone 25th anniversary, we've been reflecting on our journey:  - the distance travelled… a long way, and yet there remains so much more to do!    - the people we’ve met…from the most accomplished women in business, the politicians and changemakers, the accidental success stories, the driven survivors, the bold, the fearless, the absolute legends. Our mentors, champions and cheerleaders. What a privilege.    And now, it’s time for the next part of the journey…       Our recent press announcement (https://lnkd.in/eGFHCwq6) details our exciting partnership with AllBright, led by the incredible, dynamic Viviane Paxinos, CEO. Together we will considerably expand our outreach at a faster pace and be able to provide a wider range of services that focus on making a real and lasting impact. We are excited about the possibilities this union brings.    Here’s to new beginnings and continued growth.”    Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/eGFHCwq6

I’m excited to share that I attended the 2024 everywoman in STEM Early Careers Day! As someone just beginning my university studies in STEM, this virtual event was a fantastic introduction to the tech industry. I had the opportunity to hear from influential tech leaders through engaging keynotes and panel discussions, as well as participate in interactive sessions offering valuable insights into the tech world. The chance to network with top employers and mentors was particularly inspiring, providing me with a glimpse into potential future career paths. A big thank you to Bupa, SSE plc and Lloyds Banking Group for their support in making this event so impactful. One standout session was "Employers’ Views on What You Can Do to Boost Your Chances of STEM Career Success," featuring Kate Farrow from Panasonic, Davina Shearer from Google, and Seleeta Watson from Computacenter. Their insights on crafting a standout CV, preparing for interviews, and balancing technical and soft skills were incredibly valuable. They emphasised the importance of authenticity, a growth mindset, and effective networking, while also offering practical advice on handling setbacks and seizing opportunities. Another highlight was the "How to Land and Keep Your STEM Dream Job" panel, where I heard from inspiring women like Kayleigh Mayos from Discover Financial Services, Asia Sharif from NatWest, and Demi Magklasi from Bupa. Their advice on confidence, resilience, and navigating early career challenges was empowering and practical, providing valuable strategies for overcoming obstacles and thriving in the STEM field. #WomenInSTEM #TechIndustry #EarlyCareers #TechEvents
