Exploring Insights at JP Morgan’s Women’s Networking Event

On 13 November, Lower Sixth Business and Economics pupils embarked on a journey to Embankment for a captivating women’s networking event hosted by JP Morgan. The occasion proved to be not only insightful but also thought-provoking as we gained valuable perspectives from senior female leaders in the financial industry. Our first engagement involved listening to a distinguished panel of successful women in finance. This experience significantly expanded our understanding of the financial sector and illuminated the diverse roles within these institutions. The panellists shared essential life skills that transcend the professional realm and are applicable to our daily lives.

One of the key takeaways was the emphasis on breaking out of our ‘fear cages’ and seizing every opportunity that crosses our paths. Following this enlightening session, we eagerly participated in a dynamic speed networking event. This allowed us not only to connect with the panellists but also with other accomplished women from various sectors within the J P Morgan. In intimate groups, we gained valuable insights that will undoubtedly shape our future careers. These women graciously fielded our inquiries, showcasing a genuine willingness to provide effective answers.

“The calibre of the female role models showcased at this event left a lasting impression on the pupils, highlighting the exciting future opportunities awaiting our A-level Economics and Business students at Croydon High School”
Mrs Serradilla

In summary, the event was a both beneficial and fascinating experience. I look forward to attending more such events in the future, each promising to be a stepping stone towards personal and professional growth.
