INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY 2021

learning from challenges

A challenged world is an alert world. Individually, we’re all responsible for our own thoughts and actions – all day, every day. We can choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequity. We can choose to seek out and celebrate women’s achievements. Collectively, we can all help create an inclusive world. From challenge comes change, so let’s all choose to challenge.”  https://www.internationalwomensday.com/Theme

ABOUT OUR SPEAKERS

Aneela Rose set up the Rose Media Group agency in 2004 from her back bedroom and four years ago adopted a growth mindset, which changed her life, both professionally and personally. She is a nurturing and supportive leader, who shares knowledge and encourages everyone she meets to go beyond the expectations set by others and by themselves. She reminds people to ‘like yourself’ and ‘to keep that promise to yourself even on tough days as you’ll come out stronger’.

Her favourite mantra in business is “To achieve what you have never achieved, you must do what you have never done” and in her sport, “People said girls shouldn’t lift weights, I said, watch this.”

Business wise Aneela and her agency have won the Best B2B PR Consultancy in UK, Success in Business Award, Employer of the year Award, Dynamic Asian Business Woman and Asian Achiever Award.

Sports wise, Aneela represented Team GB at the World Powerlifting Championships in 2018 and won gold in her class, she won the More Radio Sports Award 2018, the Asian Sports Achievement Award finalist and won gold at the ABPU British Championships 2019.
