Women in Leadership Event
On February 22, 2022, the four business schools Cranfield School of Management, ESMT Berlin, Imperial College Business School, and Rotterdam School of Management will host the online event “Women in Leadership” together.

The virtual event will focus on questions crucial to success in the workplace. How can you harness your influence to increase your impact at work? How can you get what you want out of a negotiation? And how can you use your network for maximum impact? Experts from the four business schools will share important tips and advice with fellow international business professionals.

  • Prof. Sue Vinnicombe CBE, global leader and advocate for change in women’s rights, Cranfield School of Management 

In a keynote seminar, the attendees will gain insights on how to articulate their own leadership brand, use the power of political skills, and navigate hybrid working to manage future careers. In the following panel seminar, the group will jointly discuss how women can negotiate for success, which preparation is needed the most for these conversations, and how to address potential challenges in the best way possible. In a final networking session, attendees and experts will join in an open dialog on how they can strengthen their own networks, how practical input from others can help with their own career challenges, and how managers can promote a culture of helpfulness in their organization.  

The virtual event takes place on February 22, 2022, from 12-2:30 p.m. CET. Participants may find more information on the “Women in Leadership event” and register for free here
