Breaking the Bamboo Ceiling Roundtable

The Roundtable
2026 Jan 22
As part of our Bamboo Ceiling campaign, we’re turning UK-based research into real conversations about how leadership progression actually works.
Thursday evening’s roundtable moved from data to lived experience. The speakers explored personal journeys, cultural identity, visibility, sponsorship, and the systems that shape who gets seen and supported.
Strong performance alone isn’t always enough. Understanding the experiences of specific groups helps us see patterns more clearly and use those insights to build better systems for everyone.
Thank you to our speakers, the engaged audience, and to Franklin Templeton for sponsoring the event, with research funding support from Rosa, the UK Fund for Women and Girls.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us today for sharing your unique perspectives and helping make this event such a success. We are also deeply grateful for our sponsor Rosa, the UK Fund for Women and Girls for making this event possible.
