For IWD, Gerrie offers two bespoke talks or workshops:

'Networking without the cringe'
Five years ago Gerrie was asked to run a session for women leaders at a US bank. The more she researched the more she discovered how badly many women network. From self-serving to 'brown nosing' - it's considered a dirty word... for most networking is cringeworthy.
Gerrie's 'Networking without the cringe' is the perfect talk to lead into a social session with some really great, fun and useful networking.

'Owning our Equity'
Gerrie jokes she only realised she's a women a couple of years ago. Before, she considered herself a 'Business Person'. Her gender was irrelevant. Then a conversation with a former employee made her realise the impact of gender discrimination and lack of equity on her career in the sports industry. Her talk reflects on her experiences and brings in practical steps for all genders to consider our personal responsibility to #EmbraceEquity

Gerrie's style is entertaining and informative, she likes to get the audience active and aims to inspire everyone to do something different as a result of the talk or workshop.

Her clients include: GSK, International Committee of the Red Cross/Crescent, Roche, AXA, EY, Samsung, British College of Veterinary Surgeons
