The Women in Wine Winter Development Series is a line-up of four expert-led webinars, covering topics ranging from pay negotiations to powers of persuasion.

The series, which has been recorded, began on 16 July with 'Pressing Matters - How to have hard conversations', offering empowering advice for discussing the likes of flexible work, better pay, and uncomfortable workplace behaviours.

The next, 'Grape Ambitions - Landing the perfect job', shared insights from Kirsty McLaren of McLaren Recruitment.

The third in the series, 'Cultivating a Yes - The art of influence and persuasion', explored ways to present ideas to the right people in influential ways.

The final webinar in this series is 'Uncorked - Inspiring tales from the top of their game', and will be held on 6 August at 11am, with a panel of leading women in wine sharing their career stories and knowledge.
