I’m giving a talk on the above topic at the Hoxton Apprentice on Thursday 18th March for a 12.45pm start. Do come along.

“Do Women Really Want to be Leaders?” with Lee Chalmers

Much is made if the low numbers of female senior leaders in UK companies but what is the real problem? Is it the working practices or do women just not want to lead? Do we actually want men to lead for us? Let’s explore our resistance as women to stepping up into leadership and what it would take for us to do so.”

Three easy ways to book your lunch:

The money for these lunches funds the training of long-term unemployed so they get on-the-job skills to find (and keep) a permanent job.

1. RESERVE YOUR PLACE AT corbett.castlevale@googlemail.com

2. THEN PAY £45: Phone Events Manager Laura Gomm on 0207 749 2826 for credit card payments (only that – get all info re timings etc from invitation) Or: BACS transfer: Acc Number: 32 03 64 69 Sort Code: 60-40-05. (Nat West Bank, London WC2H 0PD.). Your place will be confirmed once payment has been received.

3. Please send Val Corbett your job title, and 3 or 4 lines of job description (unless you already have.) And any dietary requirements.

PLEASE NOTE : Networking starts from noon we sit down at 12.45 precisely. Unlike other lunches, the speaker starts before the first course is served. Please, be on time – as the airlines say, if you’re late, we won’t wait! Things change and if your diary suddenly frees, call 07920 107323 as there are always last-minute cancellations.

Quickest way to get to us: Northern Line Old Street tube, exit 2; walk straight, past traffic lights, Holiday Express, first left Coronet Street and Hoxton Square at top of this short road. Hoxton Apprentice is top of the Square next to the church. Takes 6 ish minutes.
