On Women into Leadership Virtual 2021:

• “Fantastic! I attended the 2018 London event and I was so excited to have been approved to attend again. My excitement was not misplaced! This was the pick me up that I needed so badly!”
  Defence Geographer, MOD

  P2P, DWP
   
• “I would definitely recommend this experience to all within my department as I feel it offers a great deal of learning and reflection opportunities on your own role”

  PNCO Systems Security Manager, Home Office

• “The event has been one of the best days of development time I have given myself in a very long time. A valuable experience”
