overcoming obstacles on your way to success – change the face of leadership!
CONNECT @ ADVANCE
Thursday, October 07, 2021
17:00 – 18:30, online, in German
In cooperation with Schneider Electric
Description in german
why starting early?
Looking at the discussions around how to get more women in top leadership positions, it is evident that one needs to start looking earlier and the real question is: How can we get more women in middle management positions?
The fact that there are still few women even in lower management positions shows that the prerequisites for women to aspire and pursue a leadership career are not necessarily given. So what is needed for women to feel empowered and capable of making a career and what are the obstacles they are facing today?
during this event you will
- understand the female view on why some women don’t pursue a leadership career
- get the opportunity to hear personal stories of people who consciously decided to halt their career for personal or family reasons
- get leadership insights on what women need or want to pursue a management career
- understand what women who want to have a career need to do to be successful in their endeavours
- reflect on how can we as employers and managers create a safe environment where women can pursue a career in leadership?
