Female Business Experience Day: Keeping at it pays off
Competent, female, strong: This is the credo of the Female Business Seminars. They contribute to the empowerment of women in their professional environment. Every year, a special "Experience Day" is also held for this purpose - most recently on May 19, 2017.
"Success in overtime - it's not over until the whistle blows" was the theme of this year's Female Business Experience Day, held at FIFA headquarters in Zurich. Around 60 professional women, from assistants and salaried managers to entrepreneurs from a wide range of industries, took part in this training event. Dr. oec. Karin Jeker Weber, founder of the Female Business Seminars, wants to promote mutual support and solidarity among women in the business world with these specific training courses. Because: Too many well-educated women are still "disappearing" from the economy - and this despite the many opportunities that the digital transformation, for example, also offers for diversity. Karin Jeker Weber thinks that many companies lack the courage to try out new things in this regard. That's why a lot of stamina is still demanded of women. And there is a lot to learn from sports, said Jeker Weber in her introduction to the conference.
How can we turn the game around when it already seems lost? How do we succeed in projects that at first glance seem impossible? Why are some people with the same starting conditions more successful than others? The solution is to keep at it - and that can be learned. Keynote speaker Robert Nussbaumer provided both diverse and practical impulses for this. In an in-depth workshop, the participants developed effective methods to achieve their goals, because success lies in the ability to stick with it. And the FCZ women provided the actual "learnings" from the sport by literally bringing movement into play. The participants were enthusiastic: "This was really a training experience with fun, valuable food for thought and great moments. Who can say that they once played soccer with the FCZ women? I'll probably never forget it, it was simply brilliant," said Marie-Christine Nyffenegger, President of EWMD Switzerland.
In addition to the Female Business Experience Day, a total of ten one-day seminars are also on the program this year. The seminars are devoted to topics that are crucial for career advancement in addition to professional qualifications.
