RSA Thursday

As another working year begins, many women are returning to their desks facing the same, seemingly intractable challenges - managing childcare, access to leadership roles, equality of pay, breaking through the glass ceiling.

Is it time for women to recognise that it’s simply not possible to “have it all”, even though it often seems like they are expected to do it all?

What are the key strategies for success in the modern-day workplace? When should you say “no”, and where should you never compromise?

The Financial Times columnist Mrs Moneypenny visits the RSA to distil a lifetime's experience of running businesses into original, practical advice on how more women can successfully take control of their career, whether starting out on the first rung of the ladder, breaking through into the boardroom, or building businesses of their own.

Speaker: Mrs Moneypenny, Financial Times Columnist and author of 'Mrs Moneypenny’s Career Advice for Ambitious Women' (Penguin Portfolio, 2011).
