Lynn Yap grew up in Malaysia and moved to the UK at the age of 19 to study law. Her career has taken her from law to investment banking to launching a network supporting women and girls in work.

- what she learned when she was forced to decide between family and work
- the importance of focusing on your values and doing meaningful work
- why it’s important for women and girls to have role models and aspirations
