As an HR and career consultant, I have conducted more than 1,000 interviews with executives about the success factors in their careers. Those who made it to the top don't have their own achievements to thank for it alone. It was often sponsors inside and outside the company, a stable and resilient network and strong leadership skills that made the difference. This means skills such as negotiation skills, stakeholder management or presentation and effectiveness skills in conversational situations that make me shine as a manager. With the LNA, we have created the opportunity for managers with practical experience to learn these skills at executive and board level. You are also part of a unique network of highly talented female executives.
