Keynote speaker

Kate Taylor is a leading empowerment coach, writer and speaker enabling women in creative and technology industries to find their ‘why’ so that they can live a life of purpose and passion.
Before becoming a coach, Kate worked with clients on some of the UK’s biggest household names as a client services director in London digital agencies. These are highly pressured and highly creative environments, and Kate noticed she was having same conversations with women again and again - the big questions, the unanswered questions, the constant niggling doubts, the fear of being ‘found out’. There just seemed to be so much that women were not giving themselves credit for and it was holding them back from living a truly fulfilled life; both in and out of work.
Kate re-trained as a coach and NLP practitioner and now works with women throughout the world helping them to create and design their best lives. Kate is champion, cheerleader and challenger; passionate about empowering women to connect to their rightful place in and out of the workplace.
Kate is joining us to host a fun and interactive mini workshop on ‘How to Create Your Own Personal Brand’, which highlights the importance of standing out as an individual in a busy marketplace, why we all need to be clear on what we stand for, and how having your own personal brand gives you the competitive advantage.
Atkins was invited to host this year which we were delighted to do. The day was as usual energetic, well organised and thoroughly enjoyable. The girls who attended were engaged, involved and looking to get the most out of the day which as an employer was great to see. Some of these girls I suspect we might not see at our other events which made it all the more worthwhile. It was fantastic to be involved and we hope to do so again in the future.
Atkins
I have been inspired by some leading ladies. It makes me realise what you can achieve.
Student
It was delightful to see so many high calibre female engineering students who had made the effort to research our company and prepare questions for the networking session. The event was very well organised, informative and fun. This is our third year attending the event and we look forward to getting involved again next year.
National Grid
It has made me realise that engineering is quite an open sector and that there is a lot of scope to enter a lot of areas.
Student
A thoroughly enjoyable event, with very intelligent and driven students. The students are from a mixture of years so proved great for our current and future pipeline, and company branding. You also walk away with the details of circa 100 top quality students, so a very unique event.
AECOM
A fantastic way to meet other female engineers, be inspired to pursue a career in the sector and learn more about the application process.
Student
The day has been inspirational and a great reminder of why I chose to study engineering.
Student
Good combination of chances to network/ask questions and hear from companies directly.
