Today, we hosted the 8th Pension Chapter breakfast event with 28 leading women in the UK pension industry for a lively roundtable discussion. It was another great success! We deepened #connections, shared #insights, and #inspiration amongst industry leaders. Baroness Jeannie Drake led an insightful discussion navigating the ever changing pension landscape. Hosted in partnership with Janus Henderson Investors, LCP, Rothesay, and Sackers.   Special thanks to Charley Smith, CFA and Hayley Farman, and the entire team at JHI for hosting us in such a lovely setting.

We reached double digits! 🥳 Here is your weekly BOLD Career tip. Number 10: #Feedback is a gift 👉 It's not easy to learn to accept feedback, one can feel defensive about it. The most important thing to learn as a new manager is to give feedback in a constructive and motivating way. But before we become managers, we need to also learn how to receive feedback without getting defensive and all flustered. Learning how to distill it and when to ignore feedback is equally important - especially for the dreaded "unsolicited advice' many women are exposed to. What's your approach of giving feedback? How do you react to unsolicited advice? Let's unleash your full potential.
