Women in Leadership Makes Sense
By now – finally, though in some places still too hesitantly – the discussion has turned to how to make it work. Leadership positions demand a price, especially from women, that not everyone is willing to pay. “I don’t care whether a man offers me his seat on the streetcar. He should offer me a seat on the supervisory board.” This often-quoted line by Käte Ahlmann, founder of the German Association of Women Entrepreneurs and once head of a steelworks in Schleswig-Holstein, clearly names what is at stake today: creating facts, removing obstacles, and opening up equal opportunities. More and more women now hold positions of responsibility, but there are still far too few women at the very top of companies. Boundaries still have to be overcome, and the power of leadership has to be used to shape things independently.
Creating the Conditions
Given the opportunities this opens up for your company, it pays to take a calm look at the status quo and to work out the conditions that support the targeted advancement of women – including in leadership positions. This is about very concrete leadership questions and about the benefits for your company. How attractive is your company to women? What opportunities and framework conditions does it offer? What examples of successful career paths already exist? It quickly becomes clear that this is not a debate about quotas – it is about fundamental business and economic issues. And it is not only about women in leadership. Companies that take a bold lead here soon notice that both women and men pay close attention to this aspect and deliberately seek out employers that offer a modern, future-oriented perspective.
YEAR-LONG GROUP "WOMEN IN DEVELOPMENT"
We offer a year-long group for “Women in Development.” The seminar gives you space and time to pause and, within a group of women, to follow your own impulses.
Broadening horizons together:
In an inspiring, safe setting, we would like to work with you to:
• explore the development of your own personality, both individually and through group dynamics
• open up access to your personal life questions
• address current challenges in your personal and professional life
• change your perspective on – and your assessment of – the obvious
• learn to find calm and balance
• shape your life with curiosity, humor, and lightheartedness
• take responsibility for your own actions
How we work: Depending on the participants’ individual concerns and questions, our methods combine short talks, mindfulness exercises, bodywork, and individual and group work.
The program is tailored to the composition of the group.
The two modules build on each other.
Before the year-long group begins, we offer you a phone call to share your wishes, your curiosity, and your concerns with us, so that we can already take them into account when designing the program and its topics.
We ask our questions from different perspectives to open up new viewpoints for everyone involved. We are humorous, persistent, caring, and goal-oriented – and we know from our own experience the highs and lows, the efforts and the successes of personal growth.
