Deadline: 11 March 2025
The Next Generation Women Leaders (NGWL) EMEA Program is a three-day virtual program where attendees will explore the importance of women in leadership, develop their own leadership abilities, and create a long-lasting community.
Attendees will participate in interactive workshops, hear from inspirational McKinsey speakers, and work with facilitators to further shape their leadership style. During the program, attendees will enhance their leadership skills, and focus on personal and professional development – in particular, confidence and effective communication skills.
Program Specification
- Learning sessions: Program participants will be invited to learning sessions hosted by our colleagues, addressing important topics around communication and impact.
