On Wednesday 4 March, Beaufort Group Consulting was honoured to be invited as an expert in gender diversity to attend a women’s leadership evening held at HEC Lausanne – The Faculty of Business and Economics of the University of Lausanne. The event was connected to International Women’s Day 2020. It was a privilege to share the podium with such an array of distinguished Swiss female leaders from the political, financial, peace building, entrepreneurial and private sectors.
In speaking about the challenges and obstacles that women frequently encounter on their professional journeys, I offered some insights into my earlier Citigroup and BBC career. It was such a pleasure to meet the talented HEC female students who shared their questions and concerns for the future with us all.
My advice to them was much appreciated:
– Learn to advocate for your achievements,
– Think strategically about your career, from day 1
– Cultivate your professional network and
– Enhance your soft skills repertoire because this is the great professional differentiator.
These young women – our next generation of women leaders – anticipate careers in the international business, economic and banking sectors so we at Beaufort Group Consulting wish them every glittering success for the future ahead. We also congratulate HEC for their firm and unwavering commitment to gender diversity.
