Hear from our attendees

The event made me really think about many aspects of my life, areas that I could do better in and how I could use the lessons at work and personal life. It was very positive in making me think differently about each day.

The range of presenters and perspectives across the day was well balanced and delivered a strong and powerful message to the audience. There was something for everyone to take away.

Aiden

Inspirational, engaging and just amazing! All the speakers were awesome to hear from and I was engaged the entire time. The event made me reflect on how powerful it is to be part of a leadership team as a female leader. It has made me more aspirational and helped me to decide that I should apply for a leadership position in my career.

The Symposium has given me strength and purpose in both my personal and professional life.
