Spirit Forward

Join June Sarpong, Fatima Bhutto, Andrea Riseborough, Laura Haynes, Gina Martin, Patrick Harrison, Pip Jamieson and Jack Norman lead a stellar line-up of change-makers to discuss the most relevant gender and diversity issues of our time.


On 4th March in the lead up to International Women’s Day, Bacardi Limited and S.H.E. SUMMIT, the flagship event of S.H.E. Globl, will host its first-ever European event in London, bringing together men and women, from across society, culture and business, to encourage them to take actions that plant seeds of change for a more diverse and inclusive community and workforce.
The one-day event entitled Spirit Forward, is anchored in the theme: You Don’t Need to be in Charge to Lead, centering on the belief that the first step in being a change-maker is to acknowledge that you already are.


With an impressive speaker line-up that includes author and Granddaughter of Pakistan’s first democratically elected head of state, Fatima Bhutto, leading Hollywood actress Andrea Riseborough, writer and social activist Gina Martin who recently had “upskirting” made a criminal offence, Laura Haynes, Chair of the UN Women National Committee, Pip Jamieson, Founder The Dots, Jack Norman, Co Founder, Milk For Tea and Patrick Harrison, Executive Director, English National Ballet, the event covers topics such as:


• Six Degrees of Integration – the case for the social, moral and economic benefits of diversity
• Faces of Change – the people making a difference, re-defining what it takes to lead and contributing to contemporary change
• Representation of Women in TV and Film - In a society where media is the most persuasive force shaping cultural norms, we discuss how mainstream media and culture contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence
• Five ways men can help end inequality – hear it from a male perspective
• Female Founders – The challenges and opportunities facing female entrepreneurs
• Re-set your Coordinates – A powerful session about finding your purpose
• So You Want to Change The World - Freeing people of all genders from the tired stereotypes that limit them.
