When is the right time for you?
Who is the seminar suitable for?
For women who take on responsibility – in companies, teams, projects, or for themselves. For all those who want to be fit for the future: with attitude, inner strength, innovative thinking, and a clear vision for good leadership.
Why “Female Only”?
Because women often face unique challenges – in leadership, communication, and managing expectations. This setting creates a safe space for genuine exchange, personal growth , and mutual empowerment . Here, you can showcase yourself, try things out, and develop further – without stereotypical roles, focusing on what will truly advance you as a woman in the workplace.

I bring together experience from both worlds : the dynamism and innovative power of startups as well as the structures and challenges of large corporations. I combine this experience with in-depth expertise in servant leadership, agility, innovation, and strategy .
The seminar imparts precisely the skills that are crucial in the working world of tomorrow: strong people who want to take on responsibility and shape change .
Special highlight:
A fireside chat with Beatrix, a successful CEO of a corporation with over 10,000 employees. She shares practical insights, real experiences, and valuable tips – from someone who has already successfully navigated the path. Authentic, inspiring, and to the point.
