International Women’s Day 2025

Be part of global celebrations this International Women’s Day 2025 and join us for an informal networking event open to all.

The theme for International Women’s Day, (IWD 2025) is #AccelerateAction

Stevenage Borough Council are delighted to be partnering with the Women in Business Network (WIBN) to support an informal business networking event at the Hotel Cromwell Stevenage on Thursday 6 March between 10am and 12pm. We will also be joined by our guest speaker Yael Leinman from Intentional Team Coaching to help you accelerate action to unlock your full potential.

Do you experience the ‘disease to please’, ‘live in the perfection trap’, or experience any other deceptively useful habits that hinder your progress and development? Women entrepreneurs and those in leadership all share one thing in common, we often have negative thoughts that prevent us from moving our business forward. Even as we bravely decide to pursue our passions, we can be our own worst critics, working tirelessly to prove our worth, while trying to be all things to all people!

The good news is that you’re not alone. In this engaging session with Yael, you will:

• discover the ten most common ways that hinder your progress
• receive proven techniques you can implement straight away to challenge those limiting thoughts
• gain clear steps, ready to shift your business mindset to newfound perspectives
• be ready to unleash your full potential

Join us this #InternationalWomen’sDay and #AccelerateAction to take swift and decisive steps to achieve gender equality and remove some of the barriers that are hindering your growth.

This is a great opportunity informally network with your peers and make great connections with a great array of local businesses. Attendees will also have an opportunity to exhibit on a first come, first served basis.
