Last night I had the pleasure of attending the Generation success (www.generation-success.com ) & BT women’s network event for International Women’s day at the BT headquarters in London.

I met some fantastic women who have certainly inspired my current Art project which I hope to be able to exhibit at the end of the year.

The event featured a panel of truly inspiring female leaders who included:

• Dr. Yvonne Thompson CBE - Founder of Choice FM and Author of 7 Traits of Highly

Successful Women on Boards

•Alison Wilcox - BT, HR Director

• Catherine Possamai - Capita Plc, Director of Talent and Resourcing

• Lisa Ashworth - PR Newswire, CEO

• Lt Col Lucy Giles - First woman commander appointed to lead at Sandhurst

Overall the event was fantastic and very inspiring. My current Art project is focused on ‘empowering women’ so as you can imagine I have a lot of ideas to sketch after last night’s event :)
