Inspiring Leaders, a partnership event between Camden Speakers Club and Progressive Women, is a day of leadership training, discussions and debate. We are working together to ask questions, spark dialogue and find solutions.
Do you want to learn from women who made it to the top? Explore the obstacles and gender imbalance of leadership and discuss what needs to be done? Be inspired to pursue your own ambitions?

Panel Speakers include:
Kathryn Perera (writer, barrister and Labour Women’s Network), Professor Deborah Cameron (Oxford University linguist and author), Louise Doughty (novelist), Boni Sones (Executive Producer, Women’s Parliamentary Radio), Vicky Booth (Lib Dem Campaign for Gender Balance), Lee Chalmers (leadership coach).
Training sessions: public speaking with Gilly Hollis, debating with Ellie Cumbo, self-empowerment with Kristie West, assertiveness with Christine Kerrison, leadership skills with Lee Chalmers, and communications with Pia Henderson and Nicola Preston Bell.
The event is open to women and men of any age and any background, and is wheelchair accessible.

You have opened your doors to any age, gender or physical abilty. At £12.50 your event might be heavily subsisdized and contributors giving their time for nothing. I am a ’single’ mother (biologically impossible)- my time already worth nothing. Please tell me you recognize that for the millions of women who don’t sleep at night for fear of another day in financial and psychological debt to a predominantly male elite which grossly overvalues itself, a spare £12.50 never happens. Class is one of the most important lines of division between people and it would be nice to think that on the night, someone there could give a nod in the direction of those for whom, inclusive as it is, the event is still a financial and psychological no go area. Thanks
I want to apply to attend the Leadership Day on the 6th Nov.
Hi Georgina,
Thanks for your comment. We’re always striving to make our events as accessible to everyone as possible. Ordinarily our events are free but as a completely voluntary organisation we made the difficult decision to ask for a cover charge for the training to cover the cost of hiring the venue. Unfortunately we couldn’t find a venue for free, and this is the lowest amount we could charge to cover our costs. I’m sorry this means that you won’t be able to attend. The issues of class and income are ones that we’re concerned about. I hope that you’ll be able to attend future events – please do keep checking the website for details.
Hi Frances

I have been trying to book a place on the Leadership Day on Nov 6th but I have had no success and now read that it is fully booked. Is there a chance of getting a place via the waiting list?
I am not getting very far any suggestions??
