The Brilliant Breakfast
UK
Our gender parity network Accelerate>>> hosted ‘The Brilliant Breakfast’ across our London and Newcastle offices, an annual fundraising event founded by The Prince's Trust Women Supporting Women Initiative!
With a panel co-chaired by Accelerate>>> trainee representatives, Caroline Smyth and Ella Keating, we heard from Alanna Lee (Managing Director at Morgan Stanley), Jemma Dick (Partner), Sophie Schwass (UK Regional Chief Operating Officer), Midori Takenaka (Senior Associate) and Yuli Adagun (Associate) about their diverse experiences as successful women in male-dominated industries, with the conversation covering themes of confidence, work-life integration, authenticity, successful leadership and wellbeing.
The funds raised help support disadvantaged young women to change their lives for the better, through education, training and meaningful employment. Thanks to all who joined us!.
