This workshop wass the opportunity to hear first-hand from three exceptional female leaders about their leadership in different countries and sectors.

The panel, chaired by Nadina Gradaščević, did not only discuss the personal development as leaders of 3 inspiring women, their successes and challenges but also addressed the core topic of how to reach gender balanced leadership, what we all be doing to support and accelerate this process and will inspire the audience to develop as female leaders or as men who support female leaders.
