11:00-13:00 GMT / 12:00-14:00 CET

Welcome To Women In Leadership: Achieving your next steps

What's the right way to identify role models to help shape your career and provide inspiration? What practical steps can you take to advance your career to the next stage? And how can you leverage your network to access support when you need it, and on your terms?

We're not promising we can solve all of these, but we can share important tips and tricks that will make a difference.

Women in Leadership is a collaboration between four global business schools: Cranfield School of Management (United Kingdom), Rotterdam School of Management Erasmus University (Netherlands). ESMT Berlin (Germany), and Imperial College Business School (United Kingdom).

Networks are a powerful tool to advance your career and there is no one-size-fits-all model, in fact women and men approach this in very different ways.
