The speakers will host a series of sessions, each dedicated to bolstering women’s leadership skills, focusing on both professional advancement and self-development. Starting with strategies to control one’s professional narrative and improve career visibility, the focus will then shift to a female-centric approach to business problem-solving. The subsequent session will explore the neuroscience of self-compassion, its importance in fostering resilience and confidence, and methods for stepping out of the “constant doing” mode. The event will conclude with actionable strategies to boost career visibility and influence.
