Role models play an important role in career development. Role models inspire, challenge, motivate and teach us to uncover our true potential and to overcome our barriers. 
Our inaugural Kopitiam Chat features three female role models from Barclays, sharing their career and life journeys, learning points and personal stories.  The format of this event will be lively, personal and educational. The Kopitiam Chat series is part of our flagship FWA Male Champions series where our male champions moderate a panel of women from their organisations. 
We hope you will join us in what will be an impactful and exclusive engagement series with excellent networking and learning opportunities. 

FWA thanks Barclays for the kind sponsorship of the venue and lunch.
