βThe Women's Leadership Excellence program left a lasting impression on me, and the standout moment was the last coaching day.
β
...where theater and acting coaches unveiled the significance of body language, voice, and gestures in presentations and conversations. I was amazed to learn that these non-verbal elements contribute to 93% of the overall impact, while the actual content only makes up 7%! We got to practice communication techniques and dive deep into our work challenges. It was a great experience!
But here's the best part: this program didn't just help me professionally, it made a personal impact too. Those three intense days of coaching and exchange are still working their magic in my mind. I'm looking forward to using the techniques I learned and staying connected with the people I met to continue learning from each other.
βThis program is not intended to be a "girl power" brainwashing experience.

I had a wonderful experience at ESMT Berlin where I attended the Women's Leadership Excellence (WLE) program. This program is not intended to be a "girl power" brainwashing experience. Rather, it aims to enhance participants' understanding of the necessary qualities of being a forward-looking manager, emphasizes the importance of developing a strong network, and provides the opportunity to benefit from individual coaching. I had the chance to meet wonderful and successful women from whom I learned a lot. In a nutshell, the key elements emphasized in the WLE program are self-confidence, trust, sharing, caring, kindness, and self-disclosure.
