Paula’s Awards Experience
What winning did for me
Why should you nominate?
The Awards made a difference for me because…
“the recognition has reaped so many benefits in BT – more women have come forward to say ‘I want to do a big operational job and balance my young family and you showed us it’s possible’. It’s opened up internal options for me, personally, and raised my profile significantly across social media, externally. My senior network has really expanded and I’ve been invited to participate in more key note speeches.”
