Check out Lori’s video below. It’s an inspirational 4min to inspire and remind us to get on track.
From IWD website remember, on an individual basis, it's important to understand, value and seek out the inclusion of women and girls. Additionally, sharing this knowledge, support and encouragement with others is key.
On an organizational or group basis, there are many ways to ensure the needs, interests and aspirations of women and girls are valued and included. Organizations and groups can #InspireInclusion through action in areas such as:
-forging women's economic empowerment
-recruiting, retaining and developing diverse talent
-supporting women and girls into leadership, decision-making, business and STEM
-designing and building infrastructure meeting the needs of women and girls
-helping women and girls make informed decisions about their health
-involving women and girls in sustainable agriculture and food security
-providing women and girls with access to quality education and training
-elevating women and girl's participation and achievement in sport
-promoting creative and artistic talent of women and girls
-addressing further areas supporting the advancement of women and girls

March Women x Shoosmiths Spring M&A Update Breakfast - the highlights
Recently Shoosmiths hosted our biannual M&A update breakfast in their beautiful social space.
Our brilliant cross-industry panelists - Claire Checketts, Laura McNaughton and Federica Titon - discussed the current challenges and trends, from complex investments structuring, to pricing issues, to building integrated teams of trusted advisors across the deal lifecycle to support clients.
They also shared some excellent war stories, ranging from keeping a cool head when the client storms out and using every which means to get signatures on documents as the deadline rapidly approached.
Key takeaways included:
★ Aggressive negotiation tactics are passé
★ There is power in being underestimated; use it to your advantage
★ Clients expect their advisers to be integrated and an extension of their team
★ Notwithstanding tech and AI, relationships and trust are increasingly at the heart of doing deals
★ There is no such thing as a straightforward deal, something will always go wrong - be ready to find solutions
★ Senior women need to be genuine allies to the junior women and help them bypass the roadblocks, not suffer them and "pay their dues"
