15th of October Meet: Paula Principle

The Paula Principle…

Most women work below their level of competence

How and why does this happen? Tom Schuller is exploring this, as a man, because it seems to him important as a matter of fairness; and because it matters to all of us, men as well as women, that everyone gets the opportunity to put their competences to use.

Tom will be speaking to us about the Paula  Principle on Tuesday (15/10/2013). For more information about the Paula Principle visit Tom's website  www.paulaprinciple.com .

Where? We will be meeting at our usual home of St George's, Bloomsbury. Upper Vestry Room, St George's Bloomsbury, 6 Little Russell Street, London WC1A 2HR. Doors open at 6:00pm for a 6:30pm start.

Please bring along refreshments to share with the group, (they don’t have to be home made!)

The meeting will be free for LWEWI members and £3 for guests. If you would like to come along to the next meeting then email us at londonwestendwi@gmail.com.

See you there!

Happy New Year!

Happy new year from the London West End Women's Institute! 

Now that we have officially started 2013 it is the perfect time to start something new, like joining us! We believe in offering women fun, fellowship and friendship. We meet in the heart of the West End, surrounded by some of London's most famous landmarks and areas.

We were formed 7 years ago by a group of women living locally who wanted to get local women together. Our members mainly live or work within close proximity to the area, but we welcome members from all areas (even the other side of the river!).
