No men allowed: How useful are women’s-only business networks?

Pioneers Post Podcast

There are numerous gender-specific networks and schemes to support women in business, including our very own Women in Social Enterprise (WISE100) created in partnership with NatWest. But how important is it to get together without men in the room? Bonnie Chiu, managing director at The Social Investment Consultancy (TSIC) and founder of social enterprise Lensational, is an advocate for women’s-only networking spaces. Speaking at a dinner hosted by NatWest and Pioneers Post in London last month, she posed some big questions about how women in social enterprise can be more supportive of each other, and revealed her own personal journey of thinking through her position as a woman in business.
