Member guest at our Summer Reception May 2019
"It was a really excellent session last night and I thought Helen struck just the right note for the group. I really appreciated the opportunity to attend, network and hear from a really open, honest and inspiring speaker."
Gail Scott-Spicer,
CEO, Kings College Hospital Charity
"Purpose-driven, values-led leadership, of (and by) women. Honest, open and human words from Helen (Stephenson). Inspirational."
Caroline Diehl MBE
Executive Chair, Together TV, and founder, Social Founder Network
“During my years as Founder CEO of Media Trust and Community Channel I regularly attended Groundbreakers events. We had some stunning speakers, who, under the Chatham House Rule, told us fascinating stories about their career challenges, their personal journeys, crises, successes, learnings and impact. Lots of stories of tears and laughter, learnings and inspiration. I loved meeting with other women CEOs in a safe, relaxing space too.”
Susan Daniels
CEO, National Deaf Children's Society, and Chair of Groundbreakers
"If you are a CEO of a voluntary organisation, I do encourage you to join Groundbreakers. You will hear from some fantastic female leaders from the private, voluntary and public sectors and have the opportunity to exchange opinions and network with your peers in convivial surroundings. What could be better?"
