We are excited to announce the second workshop of the 2018 Building Female Leaders Workshop series – which contains 4 volumes, focused on building skills and connections to help more women access leadership roles in the global workplace!
Living and working globally is the new norm for increasingly growing number of professionals. It’s an exciting space where cultures, values, and social norms mix and also collide. What’s most exciting is at a fundamental level we know there are more benefits to expanding our understanding of the world than if we were to stay stagnant.
According to PwC (Pricewaterhouse Coopers) latest analysis,
71% of female millennials want to work outside their home country during their career, but only 20% of the current internationally mobile population are women.

We want to focus our upcoming workshop on the fast-changing workforce demographics. Our workforce is diversifying in all layers of socio-economic segments. As professionals, we need to better equip ourselves with awareness and tools to navigate and succeed in an increasingly more cross-cultural work environments.
Let’s unpack and delve into the complex layers of misunderstandings, different norms, and different problem-solving methods from our current workplace, and get closer to better understanding our differences. Our goal is to re-examine cross-cultural boundaries and to see them as assets and opportunities in our workplace.
