On 20th March WIBF Edinburgh held an event at Change Recruitment for our members called ‘Covert Competition: Are women holding each other back?’ Our hosts, Change Recruitment are based on George Street in central Edinburgh and WIBF members and guests were able to network on arrival over bubbles and canapes, with a beautiful view of the castle.
Our speaker was Dr Mairi MacLeod, an Evolutionary Biologist and talked about the biological and cultural differences between male and female colleagues in a work place and discussed how we can create an environment where women and men support one another to be successful. The event received great feedback; Mairi was highly engaging and encouraged an interactive session where the audience felt invigorated to make a difference in empowering women in their various workplaces in the banking and finance industry.
The event was videoed and video testimonials were taken after the session – Mairi will be sharing this content on You Tube and once available, we will also share on the WIBF website – please watch this space!
