BEST MOMENTS

"I think having mentoring and coaching is really important in programmes. And also having those programmes and how they can be tailored more towards where women perhaps are less confident in their abilities."

"I think the other thing is, you know, really taking a chance on women the same that we would do with men. If somebody has the potential but not the skills, why don't you give them a shot?"

"Use your talents, and use your women's networks, your male networks and take the support."

"To create a six month secondment into another department or another role that you may not have actually done, or you might have been supporting externally, can you justify providing that experience?"
