Insider Progress

 

Recognising the 'Class' Ceiling and Developing Confidence in Yourself

 

ABOUT THE EVENT

Date: 12 March 2020

Time: 08:00 - 10:00

Venue: Talbot, an AIG company, 60 Threadneedle Street, London, EC2R 8HP

 

Insider Progress is designed to provide a clear view of how embracing and celebrating employees’ differences can bring new business opportunities in (re)insurance.

 

Keeping intersectionality at the core, we are determined to offer individuals the opportunity to openly address and tackle the difficulties they face. This Insider Progress conference will focus how classism disrupts social mobility in the insurance industry.

 

We are supporting the conversation with a workshop led by Siân Jones - an ITV News Presenter and Broadcaster who also worked for Sky News, Bloomberg, CNBC and GMTV. The workshop is designed to help individuals learn how to assert themselves in the workplace and promote one’s personal brand.
