About this Event
Women shaping change gather at The Women’s Table for conversations that sharpen leadership and expand strategic thinking . This lunchtime session will focus on how to influence key stakeholders beyond posts on social media.
If you’re a woman who wants to lead with more impact - working in or with government, for‑purpose organisations, consulting, or small business — any complex environment where influence matters — this conversation is for you. Get your tickets to join us for lunch at The Women's Table now.
Our discussion will be led by Janie Meredith Carter Convenor of the Women's Table and leadership coach. Using legal - and sometimes illegal ! - strategies to campaign for better support of rape survivors Janie first honed her influencing skills . In the ensuing decades she's campaigned for systemic change across health and social policy including gender equality. Along the way she's built a strong reputation for her leadership and advocacy.
Come for connection and get insight and ideas you'll want to add to your toolbox . We finish with a warm sharing circle where women can speak about projects they’re working on, initiatives they’re involved in, or anything they’d love support or encouragement around.
Don't Miss Out! To join a room full of women shaping change reserve your place at the Women's Table now.
