Certificate
Women in Leadership
The personal development programme for leading women

Why a leadership programme exclusively for women?

The programme focuses on building leadership presence and impact and on enhancing networking, communication and negotiation skills. Although these competences are independent of gender and other ascriptive characteristics, this seminar is exclusively for women, as it allows the participants to reflect on unique challenges women encounter in a work environment with mainly male counterparts.

“

Thank you for the training, it was a lot of fun and I was very pleased that so much “bonding” and “team spirit" was also possible in a virtual setting. I felt very comfortable in this group of female leaders and I think we will stay in touch.

”

Katharina Latif, Head of Reputation Strategy at Allianz, LinkedIn

“

The programme gave me a lot of insights, in particular how to develop a more powerful leadership style and improve my executive presence. There is also one learning I would share about negotiation effectiveness: “Ask what you want!” That makes clear where you want to go and what you want to achieve.

”

Elena Franzosi, HR Director at Smurfit Kappa Italia, LinkedIn

“

This experience was both fascinating and enriching, broadening my perspective and understanding. The Professors and workshop leaders designed engaging courses that were thought-provoking and rich in content. I found the whole experience extremely valuable for my own personal professional growth.
