Keynote Speaker

Through working with clients on Diversity and Inclusion programmes and leading monthly Lean In Circles since 2013 in Tokyo, Jennifer speaks passionately and persuasively on the following topics:
- The pros and cons of women only support networks – how to use them, what to expect from them
- Unconscious bias – why it is not a get out clause and why training might not have the impact you expect
- Navigating childcare leave  – best practices as employer and employee
- Why I stopped looking for a “mentor in shining armour” – how to look inwards and trust your own strength
- The elusive hunt for role models – When they don’t exist how can we create our own = use of vision board, values and strengths driven – inner mentor work
- Financial Freedom – why “Leaning In” is an economic imperative
