Is It Time to ‘Lean In’?

The School hosted a session on ‘Communication Essentials for Women’ in February 2020.

All information in this blog was correct at time of publishing in 2020.

On 20th February 2020 Professor Nola Hewitt-Dundas, Head of School, welcomed Lean In Belfast to Riddel Hall for their interactive session delivered by world leading training experts Own The Room. Lean in Belfast is a vibrant, supportive network full of inspiring women determined to make a difference in the world, with almost 1,000 members.

This was a highly interactive learning session on Communication Essentials for Women, with more than 130 women from across the business community in Northern Ireland in attendance. 

Dr Lisa Bradley, a Senior Lecturer in Finance within the Management School, who attended and joined the panel discussion remarked, “It was inspiring to meet with such strong, independent and, motivated women.

"The solutions focused activities demonstrated the real value of asking questions. There is a wealth of knowledge in our networks and community groups such as Lean In, that facilitate discussion in a supportive and engaging environment. This has become increasingly important as we adjust to how life has changed during the Covid-19 pandemic."

"Personally, my key takeaway from the evening was to develop the habit of reviewing my inner voice. Negative self-talk limits our ability to reach our potential in all aspects of our lives. Offering support, listening non-judgementally and helping others be more kind to themselves will help us all flourish.”
