Ella’s Panel

I moderated a panel for London-based charity organisation Ella’s in partnership with cosmetics brand The Beauty Crop. The panel brought together women from across six different professions to discuss the place of women in their fields, their personal experiences (from board rooms to sound stages!), and what solutions are available to us all in creating a more equitable world.

It was at times a highly technical conversation, and then also deeply personal. I did a huge amount of research ahead of the event in order to understand the issues facing women across the various industries with some degree of fluency, ensuring I would be able to anticipate and understand how different speakers might relate to each other. I managed the flow of conversation within our allotted time, making sure that topics were discussed in the depth and sensitivity they deserved without squashing any interesting off-shoots, and made sure that each panelist was able to meaningfully contribute by supportively directing questions their way and creating compelling opportunities within the discussion for each to volunteer their thoughts.

I am proud to be an ambassador for Ella’s, and grateful to have been able to contribute my own skills for this event!
