Empowerment

In this workshop you will explore the topic of power and self-empowerment with a focus on typical challenges for women when it comes to career and professional issues as well as status and power games. Interactive exercises and guided reflections will present a framework for you to investigate how you manage yourself and different types of working relationships, how others perceive you, and how skilled you are at influencing others. On that basis you will develop new strategies for your personal empowerment and self-leadership.

  • Typical (career) traps for women
  • Power and communication styles
  • Recognizing and managing status games
