FLISS x Alt-Group Webinar: Ada Lovelace, the Double Burden and Why Women Leave STEM
What if the problem has never been women’s capability – but the systems that expect them to do two jobs while recognising only one? Join Debbie Airey to explore Ada Lovelace’s legacy, the Double Burden women carry in STEM, and why talented women leave.
How to Self-Advocate and Self-Promote Effectively
Self-promotion is about communicating the value of your work and making your achievements visible.
In this FLISS webinar, Gemma Andrews and Lola Okunrinboye MIEMA, CEnv share practical advice to help women in STEM advocate for themselves with confidence and authenticity.
Discover how to communicate achievements, keep track of successes, articulate your individual contributions, and build a network of mentors, sponsors and allies. The session also explores purposeful networking and turning everyday experiences into opportunities to demonstrate your impact.
Whether preparing for a performance review or planning your next career move, watch the recap for practical insights you can apply to your professional development.
What is Sponsorship? How Do I Find a Sponsor?
Sponsorship can be a powerful catalyst for career progression, opening doors to opportunities and helping emerging leaders reach their potential.
In this FLISS webinar, Jennifer Anderson, Director of Internal Audit at Playtech, joins Vince Pizzoni, global mentor, Professor at the University of Nottingham and award-winning sponsor across STEM and energy, to share their experiences and insights.
Discover how effective sponsorship differs from mentoring, why advocacy matters, and how leaders can actively champion talent and create opportunities for others to thrive.
