Parklane Plowden Chambers hosts North Eastern Circuit Women’s Forum International Women’s Day Event
To mark International Women’s Day on 8 March 2025 the North Eastern Circuit Women’s Forum held a breakfast meeting with guest speaker, Nikki Alderson, for female barristers of all practice areas and calls on Circuit.
Nikki delivered a keynote speech on “Breaking Barriers to being your Best” which focussed on mindset, resilience and confidence, and shared practical coaching strategies to empower participants to break barriers to becoming their best at work and beyond.
Participants then engaged in discussion sharing some experiences and ideas.
A clear take-away was the reminder of the importance of ‘controlling the controllables’ in any setting, be it our response to an interaction or event, demands, or expectations.
The International Women’s Day campaign for 2025 theme is “Accelerate Action” for gender equality. The work of the North Eastern Circuit Women’s Forum, chaired by Kama Melly KC, Leila Benyounes and Chloe Hudson continues to support this.
PLP is committed to EDI and working to accelerate action for change. We have an active Equality and Diversity Committee and are invested in initiatives in Chambers, on Circuit, and beyond, to aid bringing about change and advance equality opportunities.
