I believe passionately in partnership working. To establish genuine and honest connections, to learn from one another, to inspire new ideas, to combine our knowledge to create new knowledge and to keep our minds open, curious and questioning.
I am delighted to have such great partnerships, at both an individual and organisational level - without them, I simply would not be whole.
IWC believes that women's rights are human rights.
As a movement, IWCs supports the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
Many of their members are working towards these in the UK and internationally.
Their particular focus is Goal 5 – Gender Equality. We know that women all around the world experience disproportionate inequalities in pay, health, education and access to finance.
As long as these gaps persist, it is to the detriment of all. This is why IWC have a focus on those who see themselves as women and girls, and why all parts of society are invited to help them achieve that mission.
Additionally, the Founder Anj works intensively with at least two mentees per year to develop changemakers of the future.
I am a member of IWC, trying to make the world a better place for all.
A facebook group setup to support, empower and inspire people.
It is a closed group, for all (whether you work or not, a mum or not, all are welcome), to get careers advice, discuss that work dilemma or even the challenges you are having, trying to do it all.
There’s amazing experience in the group and someone will be able to help.
In the group one of the life mottos of it's founder Amanda Newman applies ‘no rules only consequences!’
Everyone is encouraged to act with integrity and with a collaborative mindset at all times.
As well as offering a supportive and safe environment to reach out for help, the group also runs mentoring circles across the UK and on-line coaching sessions each month.
I am an active member of the group, I facilitate the Leeds mentoring circle and run some of the on-line coaching sessions.
It maybe virtual but it feels real - a great community to be part of.

I met Asha through the facebook group, the career mum. She is an exceptionally talented writer, wonderfully compassionate person ,with a highly intelligent and curious mind.
Quite simply, an exceptional human being.
I am blessed to have met her and even more blessed to be able to call her my friend. I love writing and talking with Asha. I am extremely proud to be co-authoring a book with her and cannot wait to share it with you all.
"I first met Nik online, on a facebook group 'Careermum', through her hard-hitting, soul crushing vlog on grief. The vlog spoke about her father’s passing and it was a difficult watch. I then chanced upon another blog of Nik's, on financial freedom. She’d written an honest and brave account of her spending ways and how she was cutting back.
By then I was fascinated. At the time, my co-founder and I, were trying to resuscitate a blog we’d founded in 2014, by the name 'lives less ordinary'. We’d just interviewed and written about Amanda Newman and I jumped at the opportunity to interview Nik. By the time I finished the interview with Nik and wrote an article about her, I was convinced Nik had more layers that a 3000 word blog post and that she was worth a book.
We finally met at an Intelligencia Club dinner and then spent a couple of days together at a 'change makers' retreat, in the pristine Lake District, facilitated by Anj Handa. And the Nik I’d imagined I’d meet in real life, was that and so much more.
She had so many layers to her personality. She was authentic and charming and a great listener. And she has a great personal style that she blogs about on her Lily Isabella website and social media. She is a brilliant coach, which I had the privilege of experiencing in the Change makers retreat. She listened to me with empathy, asked me probing questions and drew me a chart on my next steps. I still have the chart as my life plan, which I hope to execute eventually.
One of Nik’s vlogs that inspires me to this date, is about her multi-faceted career and how one individual, need not be about just one thing. She is the most authentic, honest, open, courageous person I have ever known and she is willing to share her incredibly rich experience and insights selflessly.
The world should lap it up. " Asha Pillai, finance professional, writer and all round exceptional human being.
