On Tuesday April 12th we sent our Marketing and Sales woman, Máiréad O’Sullivan to UCC to the well attended the Women Mean Business conference entitled “Leadership and Women”. The main speaker with Sarah Newman, better known to many as the original female dragon from the Dragon’s Den who sold her business http://www.needahotel.com for a reported €50m. Sarah’s presentation was followed by a panel discussion on the issue of women and leadership with Máiréad Maher, Chief Executive of the Irish Examiner, Kay Roynane of Round Table Meditation and Training, Dr Jean van Sinderen-Law director of development at UCC and Samantha McConnell, IFG Chief Investment Officer.
“For me, Dr Jean van Sinderen-Law was most inspiring,” said Máiréad. “She spoke all about employers helping their employees to adopt an entrepreneurial spirit within their work place and taking leadership within an organisation. She was explaining how people take on more ownership and have greater drive when they have an entrepreneurial spirit in their workplace. A very interesting and inspiring point. From her presentation it was easy to see how she was 2010 Entrepreneur of the Year.”
“The same must be said for all of the ladies who were there speaking on the day. Each in their own right are inspiring and hard working business people and I have no doubt that every challenge they have come overcome is based on their own merit.”
Many thanks to everyone at the Women Mean Business magazine for organising the event.
