Event description
There are still too few women in senior leadership positions, but when women are chosen to lead, we all know that it certainly comes with success. Being an inspiring leader, navigating your team, your business, and the world outside while balancing personal and family life indeed isn’t easy. Yet, there are many superwomen among us who make us believe it is achievable.
5 inspiring female leaders are all in different professional and life positions and all will come together to discuss how they keep thriving during the lockdown. We will be discussing anything from how they inspire their teams, how they grow and lead their business remotely, and how they balance their professional and personal life.
Startup Disrupt has collaborated with Femme Palette to organize our first UK Female Leader session. Join us for a panel discussion to get inspired and acquire new knowledge when it comes to your professional leadership, progression, and work-life balance.
