Soft Skills in Hard Times videoblog series(II): Dame Mariot Leslie

Last week the embassy organised a seminar as part of the ‘Soft Skills in Hard Times. Remembering the Service of Great Romanian and British Women’ project.

Entitled ‘Nothing Quiet on the Eastern and Western Fronts’, the event aimed to focus on the work of Romanian and British women in promoting peace, security and humanitarian support. Guest speakers included Dame Mariot Leslie – former British Permanent Representative to NATO, Raed Arafat – Secretary of State within the Interior Ministry, Dana Tane – Red Cross professional and Madalina Vlangar – Internal Affairs Attaché at the Romanian Embassy in Spain.

In this video blog, Dame Mariot identifies three fundamental qualities people need to have when facing today’s challenges: courage, confidence & positivity and truth. You will see some more testimonials from the female speakers at the seminar as part of these series.
