SUMMARY:Women in Business Lunch

She’s appeared in The Times\, Stylist and on BBC Women’s Hour. \nTalk Topic:  Seeing life clearly: How to turn adversity into opportunity… \nFollowing an exciting career in TV newsrooms\, Tessa started The Power of Words as an all-woman writer collective\, noticing that fellow middle-aged women often felt less welcome in the workspace\, despite oodles of talent and experience. But this is not the only story… \nWhile out running two years’ ago\, Tessa noticed slightly dodgy vision. Just three weeks later\, she had her entire left eye removed due to a rare form of eye cancer.
