The Power of Women Working Together

There can be no doubt after yesterday's Women In Business conference that there is a groundswell of women in the East Midlands ready to make a difference in the world.

It is the first time I have attended such a large conference or networking event where everybody I met was so open and willing to share themselves and their experiences for a common aim - to celebrate the successes of the Women of Worth award winners, obviously, but also to support and encourage every woman who is striving for success in business and in life.

Congratulations to K-C Jones conference events for gathering together such an amazing array of inspirational speakers and workshop leaders, and thanks of course to EMDA and the other business agencies who sponsored and supported the event.

I think the quote by Kavita Oberoi that summed it up was from Matthew Arnold:

“If ever the world sees a time when women shall come together purely and simply for the benefit of mankind, it will be a power such as the world has never seen"
