For #ReservesDay I had the privilege of being invited by the fantastic folk at #NorthernTrust to be a guest in their 1st joint 'Women in Leadership Business Resource Council' and 'Military Appreciation and Assistance Business Resource Council' (MAARC) Q&A panel 🌟 Ably compered by David Brooks MBCI, it was an incredible experience to share the stage with the amazing Bridget Forster to discuss the powerful intersection of #militaryservice and #businessleadership. I shared how the military has shaped my own leadership style and the importance of diversity and inclusion in driving organisational success. Discussing the stories and insights during the session were truly enlightening and empowering with laughs and gasps! I was particularly delighted by the number of people who approached us afterwards including you Nicola B. and Kaitlyn Klapperich to discuss practical steps to overcoming #impostersyndrome through valuing our individual strengths, saying no and maintaining boundaries, achieving a work/life balance—especially as a mother myself - and how we as women have to counter years of social conditioning that imposes limiting beliefs on what we should say and how we should behave. A huge thank you to David Brooks MBCI, April Jones, Sevanti Martin and Bhavina Damani for hosting us at lunch, giving Bridget Forster and I a wonderful opportunity to forge deeper connections and carry on important conversations around #diversity and #socialmobility. Let's stay connected. Thank you to everyone who attended and engaged with us. Your support and participation made this event really enjoyable!

In celebration of Reserves Day on June 26th and Armed Forces Day on June 29th, our employee led Military Appreciation and Assistance Business Resource Council (MAARC) joined forces with our Women in Leadership Business Resource Council in our London office where we heard from former military personnel Jeannie S and Bridget Forster. Our MAARC Co-Chair, David Brooks MBCI led a conversation with Jeannie and Bridget who walked our London team through their time in the British Army, exploring some of the challenges they have both faced during their careers and their top tips for navigating successful careers as senior female leaders. MAARC helps lead Northern Trust’s activities in support of our serving Armed Forces, Veterans, Reservists, Cadets, Military spouses/partners, and families. We are proud gold award signatories of the Armed Forces Covenant and have recently been recognised as being in the top 50 employers of Veterans in the UK. “Armed Forces week and Reserves Day are both great opportunities for us to celebrate and take a moment to appreciate some of the sacrifices our Military service members make in the defence of our national interests. We were delighted to be joined by Bridget Forster and Jeannie Saville who walked Northern Trust colleagues through some of the fascinating experiences, challenges, and successes they faced during their time as British Army Officers.” David Brooks #MadeForGreater #LifeAtNT

1moIt was a pleasure having you Jeannie. Your stories and insights across a number of important topics were very inspiring. I particularly liked our discussion after the event on the power of saying ‘no’ to things that are not right for you, which may then lead to the right doors opening up. Hope to cross paths with you again! 😊
