What’s This Event About?

The SWiFT Social Circles evening is an opportunity to step away from the formal agenda, connect with peers, and explore leadership experiences in an open and reflective setting.

This isn’t a panel, keynote or presentation. Instead, it’s a guided series of structured group conversations—designed to spark insight, build trust, and help senior women in rail connect beyond job titles and business cards.

What Will We Be Talking About?

We’re working with Bernadette Rothwell and the Mélange Coaching team to finalise the format—but the conversations will be purposeful, relevant, and grounded in the real challenges of senior leadership.

Indicative themes include:

  • What does authentic leadership really look like in the rail industry right now?
  • How do we back ourselves—and each other—when the pressure is on and decisions matter?
  • Where are the valuable conversations that aren’t happening in the boardroom?
  • How do we create space for strategic thinking, not just day-to-day problem-solving?

Who Should Attend?

Senior women working across the UK rail industry who are part of the SWiFT network—or interested in joining and becoming more actively involved. This is an evening designed for decision-makers, team builders, and those shaping the culture of leadership in rail.

Why It’s Worth Your Time

  • Build stronger professional connections within the C-suite peer network
  • Explore ideas that don’t usually fit into boardroom agendas
  • Leave with practical insights and a fresh perspective on leadership in rail
  • Enjoy a relaxed, off-the-record evening with like-minded senior leaders
