SPECIAL INSIGHTS

At Moving Ahead and Women Ahead, research is a core part of what we do. We are fortunate to work with world-leading experts within the fields of mentoring, gender, leadership, professional development, personal impact, creativity and wellbeing, and to benefit from their expertise. Each research report includes special insight pieces from these experts, which we feel deserve to be shared with and appreciated by a wider audience.

Below you will find special insight pieces from our reports, ‘A well new world: workplace wellbeing today and tomorrow’ and ‘Turning the gender diversity dial: the impact of mentoring, from ancient Greece to modern-day organisational performance’. We encourage you to read each piece and share your thoughts, insights and feedback with us.

Many of these experts are part of the Moving Ahead Speaker Academy, and are available for keynotes and workshops.
