I am speaking at the above conference along with Pauline Wiseman, European Group Head of HR for Honda, who will be speaking about Values-Led Leadership at Honda.

I would be delighted if any other Fellows could join us.

Women with children who our Mothers ingonerd it and those with out weather health or what ever are side lined and not asked as toi ask is to painful as people do not want to know the answer.Rejection by socail workers to adpotoion is regular to so just a reminder..................not all women who do not childern do not have them by choice.

Comment by Louise Burfitt-Dons on April 22, 2011 at 7:15: Servane, I would speak about `mother leadership' because there are two styles and women seem to discover their calling this way.

Comment by Servane Mouazan on April 21, 2011 at 9:09: If you were to speak at the next Ogunte Women's Social Leadership Awards, what would you talk about and why?

Comment by Servane Mouazan on March 31, 2011 at 9:07: Hello everybody!

I just wanted to share with you a page i am curating on the web: Women Social Innovators It's about “Innovative women who have a positive impact on people and planet ”, you will find great articles and videos where you see them talking about pressing environmental and social issues and the solutions they are bringing about. I find it an inspiring platform and a really boosting one as well. It's rare to find such a collection of feminine talent in one place, women focused on making a better world.

I truly hope you'll enjoy this!

Comment by Rowena Vestey on March 14, 2011 at 14:59: Many thanks to Louise for leading another great evening which seemed to be enjoyed greatly by those attending.

Comment by Louise Burfitt-Dons on March 14, 2011 at 14:33: Thank you everyone who attended our event at Darmouth House on International Womens' Day. There is a short clip of it now up on You Tube When women speak, do men listen?

Comment by Sandi Rhys Jones on March 8, 2011 at 11:49: Delighted to see the resurgence of the WSN as I recall the very useful directory of women speakers produced by the RSA some 15 (?) years ago - we do need articulate people to take forward the issues. Looking forward to the Dartmouth House event this evening. In the meantime, anyone interested in the debate about quotas for women on boards may be interested in my letter that appeared in the Financial Times last week following the column by Lucy Kelleway. See http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/f9d0d8da-4451-11e0-931d-00144feab49a.html.

Comment by Louise Burfitt-Dons on March 8, 2011 at 8:51: We have a full house for theDartmouth House event tonight. Look forward to seeing you there if you are coming along. 6.30pm registration and bar open o pre-debate drinks. 7pm start.

Comment by Dr Karen Moloney on March 8, 2011 at 8:37: One of the things I have noticed in the list of members of this group is that many women have not posted a photograph. If you want to work on the speakers' circuit, you really need to have a photo or better a short film clip of you in action. I know this site is not an agency where clients can find speakers for their events but it might be a source of information for people who are favourably inclined to invite an RSA fellow to speak.
