Gina Buckney was the keynote speaker for Chemetall’s wellbeing initiative and delivered a talk to their Northern American division of BASF.

“Gina is an incredible speaker and really lifts the aura of the room with her presence. Gina really broke down the gender bias and opened up interesting conversations within the workplace. It’s important to see and hear role models like Gina to highlight how important diversity is and how her real life examples have made her the successful ambitious women she is. I think having Gina as part of a well-being programme is key for any company that is looking to take care of their employees. Thank you Gina for an eye opening session”.  Steve, Director, Talent Acquisition and Development, Chemetall (providing feedback to Champions)

“Thank you very much for linking us with Gina and setting up/coordinating the talk with her. Can you pass on my thanks to Gina for the talk. I think it was pitched perfectly and really gave staff some great insights and tips on resilience to help us deal with change positively. Although there weren’t any questions asked at the session (even from my planted ones – don’t know what happened there!), there have been a lot of staff commenting on how much they enjoyed the talk – more than there have been for any of our other sessions, so I know the talk went down well” – Jaime, Homes for Haringey
