As I am in charge of the membership approval process, I regularly discover what vibrant lives most of you lead; and your incredible stories! Through reading you online, I am amazed at the richness of women's lives, their determination to use their lives to make a positive contribution to the world and to the future. It is truly a golden opportunity to get to know each other at EuropeanPWN.

MD : Has the network ever helped personally or professionally?

NLF-S: I had never worked in an association before, I have discovered that it is very hard work! Originally I joined the EuropeanPWN Board to support IBM sponsorship.  In fact, EuropeanPWN has been very beneficial to me: it has helped me to see things from different perspectives, to understand different logics and needs from the international corporate world with which I am very familiar; it has forced me to become more flexible in my decision-making ; it has opened my eyes to different aspects of business life and to governance issues, and all of this through exchanges with other members !  I am constantly challenged in my way of thinking and that is what I love the most. So far the EuropeanPWN has not helped me professionally stricto sensu, but it certainly has helped me tremendously in my personal development.

MD : How would you like to see the network evolve?

NLF-S: I think that we are doing quite well already! But it is probably time, with the world changing so rapidly these days, for us, as Women  to rethink our mission in the world, how we want to play our role to make sure that all women "born as an original , will not die as a copy".  Our strength lies in our remaining true to ourselves, authentic, in our retaining our integrity and not accepting the unacceptable. We need to keep investing in our capacity: listening, coaching, managing meaningfully and, last but not least, we need to keep on dreaming and make our dreams come true. No more self- limitations and self-limiting attitudes!
