On November 14, 2012, Eve Jardine-Young, Principal of The Cheltenham Ladies College, gave a breakfast talk on Leadership: Nature or Nurture, with a particular emphasis on grooming young women leaders.
Ms Jardine-Young spoke to an audience of around 100 people on the nature of leadership, the opportunities and challenges for educators and students given a rapidly changing and unpredictable world - a volatile global economy, multicultural workplaces and rapid shifts in technology; how to cultivate future leaders and build leadership skills; and nurturing future women leaders: challenging gender biases and equipping girls with the self confidence and resilience to achieve their full potential.
She also reflected on her personal life and career choices as well as her current role as Principal of one of the leading girls schools in the UK. The talk was followed by an engaging Q&A session.
The event was kindly hosted by J.P. Morgan and raised funds for The Women’s Foundation’s Scholarship Fund to send deserving Hong Kong students to Cambridge.
