Breakfast Conversation with Joanne John
This month, for the first time, we welcome back one of our speakers from last year, Joanne John. Last time Joanne was with us she shared her extraordinary journey to the British bobsleigh team and on to local business owner (Joanne is the owner of Fitness Space gym in Henley) . This time she will be taking us on a journey through her experiences as a black woman in sports, life and business. Her talk, Unconscious biases – my journey and the importance of allyship will help us to see where we can be allies and supporters of others and help us to open the door and leave it open for women of colour and others who are often marginalised. Joanne is warm, entertaining, inspiring and funny whilst gently encouraging us to reflect and challenge ourselves. She is always a joy to listen to and I very much look forward to hearing about her experiences, and the wisdom she’s gained along the way to empower us all to be true champions and allies of diversity.
Every Fourth Friday of the month, we provide a supportive and welcoming environment where we focus on conversation, inspiration and connection. Take time for yourself and come along to expand your personal and professional network as you connect with like-minded women. All women are welcome – whether you’re self employed, employed, currently taking a break or anything in between. Come for joy, for friendship, for business or for life. Our focus is on connection first and we find that when we start there business and friendship follow naturally.
