Women in IP March Coffee date

Informal online get-togethers with Women in IP and their allies

Wednesday 20 March 2024

12.30 – 1.15 pm 

“Perfectionism – how can we escape the trap?”

Our first Women in IP coffee date of 2024 was on Wednesday 20 March at 12.30 pm, online.

What’s the theme?

To kick off discussions we looked at the theme of “Perfectionism – how can we escape the trap?”

Who’s it for?

As always, the coffee date was open to everyone regardless of gender, role or stage of career. Women in IP’s coffee dates are informal, and the hosts provide suggested discussion points and questions relating to the chosen theme but there is no requirement to follow these and conversations tend to flow naturally. The discussions are intended to raise awareness of a topic and offer support to one another. Many of us may suffer from perfectionism and knowing that others have similar feelings can be support in itself so we encouraged people to bring their colleagues along too.

Don’t miss out!

These informal meet-ups are always popular. They’re a great way to meet new friends, share your thoughts and feelings, and generally cheer yourself up.

You can read the outcomes from previous coffee dates on the Women in IP section of our website. Or filter by the tag “Women in IP coffee dates” on our News and Features page.

Cost

This event was free. So are all our resources. We think it’s important to keep IP Inclusive on the right side of the paywall.

That said, we do need money to keep the show on the road, so if you enjoyed the event please consider contributing to our 2023-24 fundraising campaign. For more information – including about corporate donations – visit our fundraising page.
