Inspiring Women for staff

Welcome to Inspiring Women Events, which are a series of occasional one-hour lunchtime talks by female speakers. These talks are then followed by interactive workshops to support your career development and/or networking. The initiative was established in order to encourage and inspire female staff at Warwick, to learn from other women, share their own experiences and to meet with colleagues they may not otherwise encounter on campus.
Staff events are open to all.

How to Fail

Professor Emma Flynn, Warwick’s new Provost, shared how her biggest failures have helped to define her, enabling her to get where she is today. Emma described both her personal and professional journey and welcomed questions from the audience.
