The First Women in Leadership Transatlantic Dialogue took place in Brussels, capital of the European Union. A cultural boundary-crossing event that has brought together 42 senior women from the two sides of the Atlantic – all of whom engage in the study and practice of women’s leadership and gender diversity in different professional realms and positions.
These women are all inspiring leaders in their sectors, and are engaged change-makers who work for gender inclusion and diversity in their different countries and sectors in society (academics and researchers, practitioners, educators, civil servants, business leaders, politicians, civil society representatives, networks leaders, journalists, etc.). Jointly, they have reflected on how to advance women’s leadership in today’s challenging and turbulent world. Specifically, they have discussed in mixed working groups (EU/US, different sectors, age groups, etc) the following topics: The Changing Nature of Work and the impact on women; The Increasing Influence of New Governing Systems;Technology and hyper-connectivity from a gender perspective; Diversifying Inequalities and the challenges ahead.
