International Women's Day - Belfast
For International Women's Day (March 8th), our Belfast office had a packed full of amazing activities!
We kicked off the day bright and early with an inspiring talk from the esteemed Naomi Long, Minister of Justice and leader of the Alliance party. Naomi spoke of the value women bring in to STEM, politics, and other masculine working environments, and of the unique contributions they can make to these industries. As a shining example of a woman in a leadership role, we got to experience first hand the kind of strength and resilience required for the job.
At 11am, we had our 2nd guest speaker of the day, a woman with many hats (Entrepreneur business owner, celebrant and sports massage therapist) - Jen Goodall! She regaled the Belfast office with tales of her life, and shared lessons from all the ups, downs and in-betweens. It was a truly energising and inspiring talk, sprinkled with lots of big belly laugh moments.
To close our speaking sessions, a women's lunch was organised at a local restaurant - Home, with every available woman in attendance! The food was delicious and the complementary cocktails were a big productivity boost for the day.
Thank you very much to our speakers for coming in to share your stories, to all the great women who make our company shine. A final massive thank you to Anna for organising an unforgettable IWD!
