AGENDA

​Women are told that they need to make their voices heard, to take up space and demand their rights in professional life.

 

In theory, it’s a good advice, but it’s often easier said than done. What does it really take for women to actually make the move and act on the opportunities available? 

  • Female leadership vs. leading as a woman

  • Expectations and beliefs women meet

  • Dealing with your barriers

  • Self leadership: Mental training for courage, self-esteem and self-worth

There is limited space available, we go by the first come, first serve principle.
