Changing Mindsets

Changing Mindsets is a fast-paced female (and female-identifying) targetted workshop designed to enable women to recognise and confidently communicate their personal edges/unique selling points.  

This event will give you the tools to achieve your maximum impact whether it be for a job interview, an ‘elevator pitch’ or a networking event. This workshop focusses on transferable skills not your scientific skillset.
