I would like to thank the ladies from CGI who organised and hosted the event on 9th February and the very interesting speakers who gave their time to further our knowledge. Meeting those who attended and participating in the discussions' was invaluable and I would recommend attendance at these workshops to anyone who wants to further their knowledge, network and friendships. This forum has certainly planted seeds for further consideration and development in my current policy role and for the future when I return to the commercial and contract management role . Thank you ladies

The next Women's Networking Group is scheduled for Thursday 6th October at Fujitsu Services offices, London. Male and female attendees are welcome, this event is free of charge to attend - http://www.iaccm.com/events/register/?id=2596. The theme of this event will be about understanding your strengths and using those to your advantage whether in the workplace or in your private life. In today's times, understanding your positive attributes and using these to make a tangible contribution by stepping up and putting those strengths to work is where the real pay-off will be found. We need to focus on our positives, rather than our weaknesses. This will be an interactive meeting, with plenty of opportunity to network with your colleagues to discuss our strengths, and when and how best to apply them. A detailed agenda will be issued closer to the event. We will hear Kyoko Mizuguchi Head of Legal & Commercial EMEIA and Miriam Knight, Director Legal & Commercial EMEIA, both senior directors within Fujitsu Services, presenting on their strengths and how they have used these qualities to aid their successful careers.

Two very interesting articles one including the following quote from a spokesperson of Facebook, Nicola Mendelsohn 'Women make up half the population - they make effective business leaders and unbelievable entrepreneurs, so it's shocking that more aren't part of the UK's small business community today. Based on what we're seeing from the Facebook community, we believe we have an opportunity to help more women. So today we're kick-starting an effort called SheMeansBusiness to help more women turn their great ideas into thriving businesses' Interested to hear your opinions on this. http://www.itv.com/news/2016-05-26/one-in-ten-women-lacks-the-confidence-to-start-a-business/ http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/vcs-arent-funding-women-led-startups/?utm_source=kw_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2016-05-25
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/women-hold-the-key-to-unlocking-101bn-for-uk-economy-by-2020-facebook-says-a7049761.html The study found that the UK is missing out on a potential £10.01 billion boost to the economy by not tackling the challenges facing women who want to start their own business, according to a new research by Facebook. One in ten women (2.7 million) want to start their own company but feel the lack of confidence to do so. If just a fifth of potential female entrepreneurs were empowered to start a business they would build over 340,000 new businesses and create 425,000 jobs. The study determines that the UK is one of the worst countries in Europe for gender equality The study found that 25 per cent of those surveyed said a lack of confidence is one of their key barriers and 24 per cent feel they do not have the right business skills. What do we need to do to boost our confidence and believe in our talents?
A new study finds that your gender ratio among company leaders impacts the bottom line. Companies with more women executives are more profitable.
This article entitiled: "It's good to be the Queen . . . but it's easier being the King" from McKinsey emphasizes that the one clear difference between men and women in the United States and most of the world: the amount of power each has in society. As a result, gender stereotypes constrain the behavior and actions of women. Here's the link to the article: http://www.mckinsey.com/Insights/leadership/Its_good_to_be_the_queen_but_its_easier_being_the_king?cid=mckwomen-eml-alt-mkq-mck-oth-1510
Here's an interesting article released today by Business Insider on how closing the gender gap in employment and salaries would result in an economic boost in most countries: http://www.businessinsider.com/women-could-be-the-next-global-growth-engine-2015-10?nr_email_referer=1&utm_content=COTD&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_campaign=Post%20Blast%20%28moneygame%29:%20Women%20are%20the%20next%20China&utm_term=Markets%20Chart%20Of%20The%20Day According to US Trust's Joseph Quinlan, women are "the most underutilized and under-leveraged resource in the world." Read the article and let us know what you think - could women's further participation in the economy be the next China?
