Scholar Stories

"What I genuinely value about the GWLP events is their focus on women’s leadership. These gatherings offer a wealth of invaluable learning opportunities that significantly enhance my personal and
professional development. I resonate with the stories shared by other female leaders during these events, which allows me to discuss and learn practical strategies and skills from them. This exchange of insights has played a crucial role in shaping my own leadership style. The encouragement I receive
from these women makes me feel more confident, especially since I often find myself as the only female in workplace meetings.”

“As an Indian woman in marketing, I recognise the underrepresentation of women of colour in a content-driven, predominantly English-speaking world. GWLP is wholeheartedly committed
to enabling future female leaders to realise their full potential. This opportunity is beyond just financial assistance, not only will I be able to cater to my passion to break the discriminatory barriers against women in business but also learn from the best minds. I will be able to support the high-potential
divergent women at Bayes to take a step closer towards their aspirations.”

“As a scholar for the GWLP, I have had the opportunity to network with scholars in other cohorts, alumni and wider faculty. I also sit on the Executive Board, which provides me with a great insight into the running of the programme and the initiatives that we sponsor to help address gender discrimination. I recently spoke at a GWLP event about ‘finding our purpose’ and met some truly inspiring women from all walks of life who have now become key champions in my professional network.”
