SheTalks x Empower & Lead: Give to Gain

This International Women’s Day, step into a room full of women in tech who are building, leading and ready for what’s next. And leave energise, empower, and purposeful.
Join Rebecca and Natalia for an energising panel + practical workshop on the theme Give To Gain: how opportunity, access, sponsorship, and visibility actually shape careers, and how you can start using these levers now (without overgiving or burning out).
Proceeds support The Baytree Centre.
Why this event?
We’re often taught success is something we earn alone. But behind every career milestone, there’s usually someone who gave something first: time, visibility, belief, advocacy, a stretch opportunity, an introduction.

This evening is about making that real, through honest stories from senior leaders and a hands-on session you can apply immediately.
1) Panel: how careers really progress
Three senior leaders share the real moments that moved their careers forward and what they’ve learned about generosity, sponsorship, and access along the way:

• When generosity felt risky (and what they did anyway)
• What they gave before they had power or certainty
• What they wish they’d asked for sooner
• How to be strategic with your energy (because women already give a lot)

2) Workshop: your “Give To Gain” career plan (with Natalia)
After the panel, stay for a practical takeaway workshop led by Natalia (Leadership Coach & SHINE File Creator). You’ll leave with simple frameworks and exercises you can use straight away, including:

• your personal Give + Gain statement
• what to give (and to whom) for maximum career momentum
• a clear next-step commitment you can carry into the next 30 days

Who it’s for
Women working in tech (sales, strategy, marketing, product, operations) especially those who are stepping into bigger influence, scope, or leadership.
