About the Program and the Speaker

This workshop is designed for both young professionals eager to proactively manage their budding career but also for seasoned folks who have been part of the workforce for a while and wish to take the time to reflect on their professional track record with a view to carefully plan for the next stage of their career.

Participating in the workshop, attendees will:

  • Reflect on the personal meaning of their career,
  • Have the chance to ponder where they are at in their career,
  • Discover the five core building blocks they need to know about to truly manage their career,
  • Identify their current career challenges and become aware of possible opportunities, and
  • Leave with food for thought around those career issues which resonated with them.

Alexandra is a Brown alumna from the class of 1987. After a successful 23-year career in global finance where she held a variety of senior roles and led increasingly larger teams, Alexandra works primarily as a mentor coach, sharing her corporate intelligence and helping mainly with career progression, team effectiveness, embracing change, influence in the workplace, and leadership presence. Alexandra's work focuses on leveraging her clients' strengths so they learn to leverage better their skills and capabilities, deliver more value to their firms but also enjoy their work more. Alexandra's clients notably become better at engaging with others at work and collaborating more effectively which benefits their career prospects and contributes to their fulfilment at work. Whether 1:1 or via workshops, her style of engagement is clearly pragmatic, facilitating measurable and sustainable results.

The Meeting Room is situated in the basement of the Rectory Building (not in the Church). The entrance to the rooms can be found on Church Place, which runs between Piccadilly and Jermyn Street (opposite Costa Coffee). In case of difficulty, please do not ring the bell of the flat marked PRIVATE, but go to the Rectory reception on the other side of the building.

Supper Club Hosted by Luke Balleny '06

  • 36 Penton Place London, England, SE17 3SH United Kingdom (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

The BCUK is initiating a supper club which is open to all BCUK members. 

For those who don't know, a supper club is a club in which members take it in turns to host other members for dinner at their home. Some supper clubs are run as commercial enterprises and include hugely elaborate 5 course meals. The BCUK supper club will be as elaborate and formal as each host chooses to make it but the idea is to cover costs and not try and get rich from your fellow alums. We hope it will be a fun way for BCUK members to meet each other and for those who enjoy cooking to have an excuse to cook up a storm.

The first supper club will be hosted by Luke Balleny '06.

Date and Time: Saturday, 25 March at 7PM for 7:30PM start
Location: 36 Penton Place, London, SE17 3JT
Transport: Kennington tube is less than a 5 minute walk away. Elephant and Castle tube is a 10 minute walk away and there are numerous buses that stop within a 5 minute walk of the house.
Cost: GBP20 per person and will include wine and/or beer

To book a place, please RSVP to Luke directly.

Space is strictly limited to 8 including Luke. As a result, BCUK members may not bring more than one guest.

A few basic BCUK Supper Club Rules:

1. The host has final say on everything including but not limited to: Number of guests to be invited, price of meal, arrival and departure times for guests, payment method, food choices etc.

2. Guests must bring cash on the day to pay for their meal if they haven't paid in advance

3. Guest must give 48 hours notice if they wish to cancel their booking. If they fail to do so, they will be asked to make a bank transfer of the cost of their meal to the host.

4. Guest should specify when booking whether they have any dislikes/allergies are vegetarian etc

5. The host will decide whether the meal will include alcohol. If it does not he/she may allow the guest to bring their own.

6. The host may decide to tell their guests what they will be eating before they arrive but may also leave it as a surprise.

7. Once the host has advertised a particular price and has received bookings, he/she cannot change the price

8. While attending BCUK events is a great networking opportunity and of course networking is to be encouraged, please don't use hosting a supper club as an opportunity to sell your business/product (unless you're a professional cook!)

9. If in doubt about any of the above see rule 1!
