    @darthted Next time @findercomau has an internal one, let me know. Happy to come give my talk to your team the day before!


    @darthted But you have a natural +1 advantage anyway by being American. People believe us more because we sound like we’re on television.


    RT @amishschool: Just told a coworker not to bother me when I’m eating which effectively means he can never speak to me again.

    @mobywhale Women’s Agenda Network breakfast at the Tea Rooms. Meeting loads of inspiring women!


    Listening to the amazing @NaomiSimson at the #WANbreakfast. http://t.co/4YKunG69AU


    Chuffed to hear @NaomiSimson insisted on not being “token woman” on Shark Tank, pushed for better gender representation. #WANbreakfast


    RT @MsDovic: There is something very cool about listening to female trailblazers in business talk about their stories #wanbreakfast #like!


    Note to self: look up @pryorlisa’s book “Pin Striped Prison.” Sounds really great. #WANbreakfast http://t.co/oVJg2I0tMp


    It’s rare to find a job that allows you to THINK and BE KIND. @pryorlisa found that in medicine. #WANbreakfast


    RT @angelapriestley: So @pryorlisa has studied law and medicine – and been an award-winning journo in between. Just, as you do #overachieve…


    You start out with lots of passion & energy, but then one day you find yourself in admin filling out forms. @NaomiSimson #qft #WANbreakfast


    RT @julesaly: . @NaomiSimson on being an entrepreneur: risky, you give up a decent salary but “you never know what you don’t know” #WANbrea…


    When mentors are no longer useful, consider getting a business coach – one that asks uncomfortable questions. @alovegrove #WANbreakfast


    “There’s no harm in applying. There’s nothing to lose.” #lifeadvice from @pryorlisa #WANbreakfast


    RT @theworkher: Networking tip: Think “how do you help this person?” Says @alovegrove #WANbreakfast @WomensAgenda


    Women who want to get ahead in careers go back to study, men get more work experience. Study may not be the best option. #WANbreakfast


    Getting the impression that my impulse to get an MBA may not be what I actually need for my career. #WANbreakfast


    . @NaomiSimson talking about why women disappeared from IT. Young women with talents dumb down to avoid looking geeky. 🙁 #WANbreakfast


    RT @LucyPerryCEO: Effort, energy, risk. The trifecta for success as shared by the brainiacs at @WomensAgenda #WANbreakfast @NaomiSimson
