On Monday, Year 10 gathered together to attend an Innovation and Inspiration event where inspirational female entrepreneurs came together to share their stories and answer our questions.
The event was held on Teams, and hosted by Dr Becky Sage and Amy Armstrong, who are also co-hosts of Mind Styling, a podcast which interviews entrepreneurs on their experiences and advice. The event itself was held in a similar fashion to that of a podcast and allowed us to ask these amazing entrepreneurs for advice ranging from how to deal with pressure, to how to build connections with others.
After our curiosity was quenched, we were then asked to make a business plan that solved a problem in the world that we thought was unfair. Although challenging, all of us managed to make businesses that tried to solve a variety of issues, which we then presented to Dr Becky Sage and Amy Armstrong who gave us feedback on our plans, as well as to the rest of our peers.
Overall, it was a very valuable experience to be able to interact so freely with such creative and learned women who offered extremely useful advice to us that we will all definitely carry with us in the future.
