Women in Work 

The 300-strong auditorium was treated to candid storytelling by Dame Sharon White, outgoing chairman of John Lewis Partnership, who regaled the audience with tales of growing up with a seamstress mother, about her career journey and advice on how we keep women in work. 

During the session, steered by Dr Nighat Arif, White shared her top tips, which included finding mentors to sponsor, champion and lift you, and staying focused and determined. 

She said: “If flexibility didn’t exist, I’d have given up work 15 years ago,” before going on to outline the progress women have made over the years. White said: “I had my first child at 37 and my second at 40. The change in navigating the world of work as a woman who was a mother was fundamentally different in a way, even as somebody who for years had promoted and worked with lots of women, that I had completely underestimated. It was the first time that my anatomy was starting to define - not necessarily my career choices, but those that others saw for me.”
