In a world increasingly dominated by digital interactions, 'Connect: Building Exceptional Relationships with Family, Friends and Colleagues' by David Bradford and Carole Robin offers a refreshing return to the core: cultivating genuine human connection. Drawing on their decades of experience teaching interpersonal dynamics at Stanford and coaching executives, the authors provide a practical and insightful guide to fostering deeper and more meaningful relationships in all aspects of life.

Last month, the NZ Business Women’s Network held an inaugural event in Auckland for locally-based members, at BNZ Auckland HQ on Queen Street. The event on March 21st attracted a diverse group of women, many with extensive UK experience and others just about to set out on their British adventure. We also brought together a fantastic panel of Kiwi women with highly-relevant professional knowledge about living in the United Kingdom, and settling back into life in NZ afterwards.

Our annual International Women’s Day event returned this year, and in fine form as always!

In partnership with Kea New Zealand, and kindly hosted by Killik & Co, NZBWN brought together over 100 Kiwi women to discuss the important topic of ‘Inspiring Inclusion’, this year’s International Women’s Day theme. The idea being that when we inspire others to understand and value women’s inclusion, together we can create a better world.
