Leadership Development Journey Soroptimist BeNeLux 
Ready to join the 5th edition? 

Leaders are not born but there is a leader in each of us. Leadership is a lifelong transforming journey in which you grow and mature. Soroptimists are women in professions and business who work together at local, national and international levels to educate, empower and enable women and girls to improve their lives. They believe supporting women to reach influential positions in society. 

What do we offer you? 

Soroptimist BeNeLux developed a leadership & mentoring program in which young ambitious women will discover and further develop their leadership talents. The program is designed for women with a minimum of 2 years working experience in all sectors and professions of the society: Private, Social or Government. You will get the opportunity to grow as a person and interact with other participants to share experiences and learn from each other. 

What can you expect? 

An inspiring program that combines physical workshops, online meetings and personal mentoring. The full program has 3 building blocks and each block will touch different topics. After the 1st building block, you can apply for  the follow-up program and the accessory mentoring.  
If you do, your mentor will be a woman with a proven track record who is passionate about sharing her knowledge and the lessons she learned. 

In case the full leadership & mentoring program is too extensive for you, joining only  the 1st block is an option.
