Careers Chat with Deputy Leader of the Labour Party Jacinda Ardern, the founders of Harman Grubiša, reporter Gracie Taylor and Lisa King of Eat My Lunch at 6pm on Tuesday 8 August, 2017 at The Bank in Grey Lynn.
Attendees at the event will hear from Deputy Leader of the Labour Party Jacinda Ardern; the creators of fashion label Harman Grubiša, Madeleine Harman and Jessica Grubiša; TV/radio/online reporter Gracie Taylor; and the founder of Eat My Lunch, Lisa King. All who will be sharing insight into their career journeys.
The event will cover where they all started out and how they got to where they are today (with the odd career change along the way for some), and they’ll provide their advice for millennials to kick ass in their jobs or entrepreneurial ventures.
There will also be an open Q&A, offering a unique opportunity for millennials to ask these powerful women in business on the panel any career questions.
Ardern commented, “Like a few other careers, the path into politics isn’t always a straightforward or enticing one. I’d love to see more young women pursue politics though, so I’m very keen to do all I can to encourage the next generation to do just that.”
Ladies from all industries are invited to attend the evening of drinks, canapés and epic girl boss chat.
Founder of The Workher Laura Platts said, "The event’s a unique opportunity to bring so many like-minded women together from a range of different industries. We have a diverse panel made up of truly incredible women achieving great success in their careers. The audiences at our last events have been outstanding as well, with really bright, engaged young women. The careers chat will be buzzing. I can’t wait!”
Ms Harman commented, “Starting and running our own business has been equally one of the most disarming and rewarding things either of us has done. There are times when you feel very vulnerable and times where you feel extremely empowered. We think that conversations like this that support women in business are so important, so it is a privilege to be invited to share a little of our journey to date.”
This will be the third Workher event, following the recently sold out Careers Chat with Juliette Hogan in April, and the Girl Boss High Tea in January 2017.
