Women in Energy stories
Webinars Testimonials I was so impressed with yesterday’s webinar. It was refreshing, informative and supportive. It is so rare to have that kind of candid discussion with women in such a senior position. It was of particular benefit to me as I’m at a crossroads in my carrer, and in the process of producing a personal development plan. Please can we have more of the same! I have not come across this kind opportunity anywhere else.”
