SUMMARY:Lead to Empower Program
DESCRIPTION:Summit\n\n\nMAVERICKS\n\n\n\n\n11-14 September 2026 \n\n\n\nAll day \n\n\n\nLocation: Islantilla\, Spain \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt’s time to bring the impact of your leadership to the spotlight and empower more women!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLead to empower\n\n\n\nLead to Empower is a custom-made 3-day program including individual coaching by 5 different expert coaches in Spain. This program gives you a deeper understanding of your purpose and motivation as a leader\, the skills to communicate your story clearly and authentically\, a PR-boost to grow your visibility and impact\, an expansion of your leadership network for support\, advice and inspiration and 3 days of self-reflection. It’s the perfect program for women who want a deeper understanding of their identity and how to maximize their impact and lead the next generation. \n\n\n\nChanging the game for future female leaders\n\n\n\nFemale role models are the drivers of success when it comes to the talent pipeline. More women leaders can make a big difference by using their personal brands to empower the next generation. This program is a concrete path for established female leaders to become inspiring role models in business. You can be a successful leader and pay it forward to the next generation. \n\n\n\nWhy do we need more female role models\n\n\n\nAttracting and retaining talented women in business remains a huge challenge for most organisations. Fewer women professionals means role models are even scarcer\, which greatly diminishes our chances of attracting women interested in leadership positions. Showing women in leadership positions raises aspirations for women. Ambitious career women need to hear the personal stories of accomplished female leaders in order to envision themselves taking steps forward. This program was designed to expose and empower women with diverse\, powerful and positive role models as consistently as possible. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram\n\nBenefits\n\nWhat we offer\n\nDate\, location & investment\n\nThe experts\n\nRegister\n\nFAQ\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\n\n\nPillar 1 \n\n\n\nSelf-Knowledge and Being Authentic\n\n\n\nAlign your leadership actions with your core values & strengths and explore your personal leadership style \n\n\n\n\n\nPillar 2 \n\n\n\nIncreasing Impact\n\n\n\nDefining your story\, learn how to inspire other women. \n\n\n\n\n\nPillar 3 \n\n\n\nLeading Others\n\n\n\nRaise your visibility by having the right communication tools\, visual identity and strategy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBenefits to you\n\n\n\n\nDeeper understanding of your purpose and motivation as a leader\n\n\n\nSkills to communicate your story clearly and authentically\n\n\n\nPR-boost to grow your visibility and impact\n\n\n\nExpansion of your leadership network for support\, advice and inspiration\n\n\n\n3 days of self -reflection\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBenefits to your organisation\n\n\n\n\nHighlighting and having a visible role model within the organisation attracts more female talents\n\n\n\nIncreased engagement and commitment of female staff\n\n\n\nShowing female leaders with female leadership qualities will encourage more women to step forward and step up with confidence\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“My personal story and ambition are sketched out in detail”\n\n\n\nIn 2022 I have followed the lead to empower training by BrandedU. Due to the training being on location\, with a small group of women the time investment was very efficient. I have done other trainings to expand my leadership qualities or I have had coaching but the Lead to empower training was very different. In four days I have now very clear in mind what I want to achieve\, and also what not.  \n\n\n\nAfter the training I feel energized and things that costs me a lot of energy are easier to handle. I was offered another job and before I would be thinking about this for a long time but I knew\, due to the training\, that that is not what I want. \n\n\n\nI highly recommend the lead to empower training to anybody who wants to take a next step in her career\, wants to feel more comfortable about what you want to achieve and having a clear career path in mind. \n\n\n\nDeborah Alfarez – Directeur\, Stichting Vrienden van het Herseninstituut \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram\n\nBenefits\n\nWhat we offer\n\nDate\, location & investment\n\nThe experts\n\nRegister\n\nFAQ\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat we offer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCustom-made 3 day program including individual coaching by 5 different expert coaches in Spain \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA professional PR photo including hair\, make up and clothing styling. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA biography \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInterview by BrandedU on female leadership to be spread across all BrandedU’s channels \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessional PR photos from previous shoots\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe need 3 days to future proof your leadership impact in Andalusia\, Spain\n\n\n\nYour program will involve one on one coaching tailored to suit you and your leadership goals. \n\n\n\n\n\nDay 1\n\n\n\nIdentify and define the essence of your leadership brand \n\n\n\n\n\nDay 2\n\n\n\nDefine your story\, enhance your leadership presence to inspire and motivate \n\n\n\n\n\nDay 3\n\n\n\nPay it forward by authentically communicating it with the world \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A safe environment for accelerated learning and reflection”\n\n\n\nThe coaches of Lead to Empower program were able to help me enhance calling out the core of my potential\, building on my natural strengths. They complemented each other very well in addressing my mind\, heart and gut. Through iterative one-on-one coaching sessions the training journey provided relevant deep dives\, matching my personal needs. This focus and intensity\, combined with the small group\, created a safe environment for accelerated learning and reflection. \n\n\n\nI have now sharpened my internal compass about my professional career and the conditions that make me thrive. Knowing better what I stand for\, allows me to inspire others to become their best version of self\, too. \n\n\n\nIngeborg Mijling – Directeur\, Philips \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram\n\nBenefits\n\nWhat we offer\n\nDate\, location & investment\n\nThe experts\n\nRegister\n\nFAQ\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipants\n\n\n\nThe program focuses on established women leaders who want deeper understanding of their identity and how to maximize their impact and lead the next generation. And yes there is a level of idealism involved but to change the world we need action ourselves\, we can’t wait for superman to come and save us. We need more Wonder Women to lead the field! \n\n\n\n\n\nDate\n\n\n\nSpring EditionLead to Empower: TBAPhoto shoot: TBA \n\n\n\nAutumn Edition Lead to Empower: 11-14 September 2026Photo shoot: TBA \n\n\n\n\n\nFlight schedule\n\n\n\nFriday 11th September 2026 From 05.50 Amsterdam to Faro arrival 08.00 \n\n\n\nMonday 14th September 2026From Faro 20.00 to Amsterdam arrival 00.05 \n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\nWe will fly to Faro Airport in Portugal. From the airport we will travel by bus to the hotel in Islantilla (1 hour drive) Spain. We will stay at the four-star SENTIDO Ama Islantilla hotel. The hotel has two swimming pools\, two restaurants and a spa & wellness center. The rooms are spacious and modern and have a luxurious appearance. Everyone shares an apartment with another participant. Every participant therefore has their own bedroom. There is an option to book a completely private room at an additional cost but we do not recommend this because of the objectives of the program. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInvestment\n\n\n\n€ 6.999 ex vat per participant \n\n\n\nRegister now!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“More impactful and insightful than any other program I have ever participated in”\n\n\n\nAs a woman in a senior management position I was positively triggered by Nancy during one of the Board of Believers Breakfasts she organises. Her call to action? Step up and share your story! It is worth telling and many young women are still looking for role models that can inspire them to progress their career paths. Next to the positive encouragement\, I also felt quite uncomfortable. What is my story exactly and is it really worth sharing? What path am I on myself and many more questions like those. \n\n\n\nThat is where Lead to Empower comes in. A comprehensive\, tailor-made program at a wonderful location with an intimate group of inspiring women and coaches. It was more impactful and insightful than any other program I have ever participated in. The magic? A well-thought-through set-up of individual sessions exploring your purpose\, your strengths\, your mind-set\, your story and the alignment in / with your body. And a wonderful group of women who you can share your experiences and insights with. I returned from the program inspired\, connected\, encouraged and with a clear plan how I can Lead to Empower. \n\n\n\nI can really recommend participating in the Lead to Empower program. I think the program is fit to address various explorations in yourself. For example\, if you feel you want to pay it forward and you don’t have a clear plan yet how to do it. Or if you are searching to (re)connect with your deeper purpose and are looking for insights to shape your next career step to name just two. Quality time for yourself to be able to give more to others would be my executive summary. Just go! \n\n\n\nKarlijn van den Berg – Head of Talent\, ABN AMRO \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram\n\nBenefits\n\nWhat we offer\n\nDate\, location & investment\n\nThe experts\n\nRegister\n\nFAQ\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the experts\n\n\n\nYou’ll learn the best from other women. In the BrandedU’s Lead to Empower Program\, several successful women share their career lessons and experiences. These women are going to inspire you: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNancy Poleon\n\n\n\n\n\nTelling your story \n\n\n\nFemale role models can change the world and help redraw the balance by telling their stories. More women need to fearlessly tell their stories as often as possible and inspire others with their story. We want to know how you reached the top and all of your lessons learned. We want to hear about how you deal with issues and we want to see you shine when you talk about that thing that you do best. \n\n\n\nHave you noticed that some people know very clearly who they are and what they are doing? It is almost as if they had planned it that way. These are the people that know their personal brand story. I call it personal brand story because it is personal and only belongs to them. The are aware of the turning points\, key events in their lives and what read thread runs through it. They know that by telling their story they can not only distinguish themselves from everyone else but that their audience will remember them as well. Each of you has a story. You only decide for yourself what you want to share with the world. Having a personal brand story is important because you can show: \n\n\n\n\nWho you are\n\n\n\nWhat you do\n\n\n\nWhy you do what you do\n\n\n\nAnd how you can help others with that.\n\n\n\n\nWhen artists tell their story in interviews on radio or TV\, we like it. Why? Because we want to get to know them and the more we know them\, the better we will like them! \n\n\n\nSo we will be working on 3 things: \n\n\n\n\nDefining your personal brand story.\n\n\n\nTelling and presenting your personal brand story\n\n\n\nAnd making it visible by having a bio and photo that support that story.\n\n\n\n\n\nShow more\n\nShow  less\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEdvina Babic\n\n\n\n\n\nGoing beyond being the boss \n\n\n\nIt is in human nature to look for negative in everything first\, and it is also in human nature to fix things. We love finding problems so that we could solve them\, it feels natural\, it feels right. But when it comes to being a strong leader\, when it comes to utilizing human potential to its fullest and being an inspiring role model\, fixing weaknesses isn’t the way to go. Weakness fixing prevents failure\, while building strengths leads to success. \n\n\n\nGallup conducted over 20\,000 in-depth interviews\, studied over one million work teams\, considered over 50 years of data on the world’s most admired leaders\, and studied over 10\,000 followers for insights into leaders. Here’s what that data revealed: \n\n\n\n\nFirst\, the most effective leaders are always investing in strengths.\n\n\n\nThe most effective leaders surround themselves with the right people and then maximize their team.\n\n\n\nThe most effective leaders understand 4 most important followers’ needs.\n\n\n\n\nThrough a personal strength assessment\, we will focus on getting an even deeper understanding of your unique talents as a leader and discover more about your distinctive leadership style. We will also digest the 4 needs of your followers and the difference between managing and fixing of your personal weaknesses. With this knowledge in mind\, understanding your personal strengths profile will enable you to raise your visibility as a role model in a way that suits you the best and sets you up to perform with excellence. \n\n\n\n“The function of leadership is to produce more leaders\, not more followers.” So let us leverage your uniqueness\, expertise and accomplishment to empower the next generation of female leaders. \n\n\n\n\nShow more\n\nShow  less\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHeena Jethwa\n\n\n\n\n\nPurpose driven leadership \n\n\n\nLeaders who align their actions with a clear sense of purpose\, rooted in values and a vision for the greater good\, stand to create lasting impact and foster positive organizational cultures. At its core\, your leadership purpose springs from your identity – the essence of who you are. Purpose is not just a list of the education\, experience\, and skills you’ve gathered in life.  Purpose-led leaders are driven by a vision that aligns with their personal values and the values of their organization. By aligning your actions with a clear sense of purpose\, leaders can inspire\, guide\, and create resilient and engaged teams\, ultimately driving long-term success for both individuals and organizations. \n\n\n\nIn our session we will \n\n\n\n\nDefine your North star – Embark on a journey of self-discovery and self-awareness to clearly define your passion and purpose. Understand what drives you\, what holds you back\, identify your core beliefs and passion\, and learn how to leverage this clarity to align your goals and actions with your higher purpose.\n\n\n\nAlign Actions with Purpose – Learn how to align your leadership actions with the defined purpose to foster trust and credibility\, allowing you to inspire and empower your team and others.\n\n\n\nNavigate Challenges with Purpose – Equip yourself with tools to navigate challenges while staying true to your purpose\, maintaining a resilient mindset in times of uncertainty.\n\n\n\n\n\nShow more\n\nShow  less\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRishita Jones\n\n\n\n\n\nLeadership isn’t just a title; it’s a calling – a responsibility to show up authentically and inspire others through purpose and action. Having worked in transformative cities like Amsterdam\, Dubai\, and London\, I’ve seen that true leadership begins from within – rooted in mindset\, resilience\, and self-awareness. It’s about rewiring the way you think\, feel\, and act to unlock the limitless potential within you. \n\n\n\nAs a certified mindset coach\, I help women break free from self-doubt and embrace their full potential through neuroscience-based tools. Together\, we’ll rewire your thinking for clarity\, confidence\, and sustainable success\, breaking old patterns to create lasting change. \n\n\n\nRole Model Mindset: Leading with Confidence\, Integrity\, and Purpose \n\n\n\nLeadership is about who you are\, not just what you do. A role model mindset empowers you to lead authentically\, inspiring trust and impact. Together\, we’ll explore: \n\n\n\n\nSelf-Awareness: Inspire trust and influence through deeper self-connection.\n\n\n\nResilience: Stay grounded and focused through challenges and setbacks.\n\n\n\nAuthenticity: Fully embrace your power and inspire others to do the same.\n\n\n\n\nIntegrating Your Mindset for Sustainable Impact \n\n\n\nUsing neuroscience-backed strategies\, we’ll embed these shifts into your daily life for long-term growth. Together\, we’ll tackle key questions like: \n\n\n\n\nWhat mental barriers arise when you step into greater visibility\, and how can you overcome them with strength and clarity?\n\n\n\nHow can you nurture the key components of a role model mindset to lead with purpose and confidence?\n\n\n\nHow can you ensure that your mindset supports long-term success\, helping you stay grounded and focused as your influence continues to grow?\n\n\n\n\nAs Oprah Winfrey said\, “You become what you believe.” This is your moment to step into the leader you were born to be – confident\, authentic\, and driven by purpose. The world is ready for you to lead with power and heart. \n\n\n\n\nShow more\n\nShow  less\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmanda MacRea\n\n\n\n\n\nSomatic coach and embodied leadership trainer \n\n\n\nFrom Sydney to Los Angeles\, now making an impact in Amsterdam\, Amanda offers a unique body-based somatic approach drawing on various methodologies from around the world. Prior to her work as a somatic practitioner\, Amanda held a senior executive position in the advertising production industry\, collaborating with renowned global brands. She continues to be involved in this realm\, providing embodiment practices to the current leaders of these brands. \n\n\n\nLead To Empower \n\n\n\nEMBODIED LEADERSHIP \n\n\n\nWhile many of us ‘understand’ what it takes to be a good leader\, true leadership calls for individuals who can authentically embody their talents and nature when faced with the challenges and demands of holding or sustaining a leadership role. \n\n\n\nOur bodily experiences encompass our thoughts\, emotions\, actions\, and the expression of our talents and creativity\, defining how we communicate and connect with our surroundings and others. An embodied experience entails bringing our total-selves to any given moment—any resistance will impact our ability to create change\, our personal satisfaction\, and our overall health and vitality. \n\n\n\nDuring our session\, I will guide you in embodying and integrating what you’ve learned from the previous sessions\, coaching you to bring about the desired change through body-based lessons. Together\, we will work to transform old\, unwanted\, emotional\, and behavioral patterns that have manifested in the mind and body in a limiting way. \n\n\n\nOne of the core question we will explore is: \n\n\n\nIn a leadership culture that predominantly emphasizes mental prowess and achievements on paper\, how do you envision your accomplishments and leadership style evolving through a fuller integration of your authentic self? \n\n\n\n\nShow more\n\nShow  less\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInvestment\n\n\n\nThe program fee covers all training expenses including travel\, food and accommodation costs. \n\n\n\n€ 6.999 ex vat per participant \n\n\n\nRegister now!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram\n\nBenefits\n\nWhat we offer\n\nDate\, location & investment\n\nThe experts\n\nRegister\n\nFAQ\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFAQ\n\n\n\nPayment\n\n\n\nCan I pay with creditcard?\nNo\, we no longer accept credit card payments due to extra costs from our end. \n\n\n\n\nWhat is the payment deadline?\nYour payment needs to be in our bank account one week before departure. \n\n\n\n\nPreparation meeting\n\n\n\nDo I need to prepare anything for the preparation meeting?\nNo preparations are necessary. \n\n\n\n\nI would like to schedule an online meeting.

When companies register their women on the program the impact is twofold: mentees gain clarity and confidence\, while organizations develop the high-potential leaders they need. \n\n\n\nWhy women benefit from female mentors in the workplace\n\n\n\n\nIt helps to articulate career ambitions\n\n\n\nIt helps to stay on track of the goals they want to achieve\n\n\n\nWe’re creating this in a group environment so they can build a fab network\n\n\n\nMeeting other ambitious like-minded women will help them gain confidence\n\n\n\n\nWhat makes our mentorship program different?\n\n\n\n\nInclusivity at its coreOur mentors come from diverse backgrounds\, companies\, and cultures\, ensuring a rich exchange of perspectives and experiences.\n\n\n\nStructured connection opportunitiesWe organize three in-person events throughout 2026\, making it easier for mentors and mentees to build meaningful relationships through networking exercises\, inspiring masterclasses and facilitated conversations.\n\n\n\nIndustry-focused groupsParticipants connect within their fields—Tech\, Finance\, or General Business—allowing them to learn from women walking similar career paths.\n\n\n\nCross-company collaborationMentees are paired with mentors from different companies\, creating opportunities to build valuable external networks and gain fresh perspectives.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for Mentors\n\nRegister for Mentees(closed)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram structure\n\n\n\nMentors and mentees meet three times throughout 2026 \n\n\n\nEach event begins with a 15-minute personal branding talk by Nancy Poleon (founder of BrandedU)\, followed by inspiring talks from guest speakers and role models from the host company.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister for Mentors\n\nRegister for Mentees(closed)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApril 13\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\n\n9:00 – 11:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nAdyen\, Amsterdam \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJune 25\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\n\n16:00 – 18:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nEneco\, Rotterdam- guest speaker Heena Jethwa \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDecember 1\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\n\n16:00 – 18:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nHeadfirst\, Amsterdam – guest speaker Edvina Babic \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat can mentees expect?\n\n\n\n\nAt least three meetings with their mentor in 2026\n\n\n\nPersonal branding insights from Nancy Poleon\n\n\n\nInspiring masterclasses from guest speakers\n\n\n\nConnecting with their peers\n\n\n\n Actionable guidance and support tailored to their career goals\n\n\n\nA lasting network of ambitious women across companies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat mentors can expect?\n\n\n\n\nConnect with like-minded peers from their industry\n\n\n\nImprove management and leadership skills through mentoring\n\n\n\nExpand their perspective—mentorship is a two-way road\n\n\n\nInspiring masterclasses from guest speakers\n\n\n\nThe satisfaction of helping shape the next generation of women leaders\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\nNancy Poleon13th April \n\n\n\n\n\nAlinda Wit13th AprilAI strategy consultant\, Substack writer and entrepreneur \n\n\n\n\n\nSaskia Milsted13th AprilAI strategy consultant\, Substack writer and entrepreneur \n\n\n\n\n\nShanna Baakman13th AprilCEO at Arbor \n\n\n\n\n\nNancy Poleon25h June \n\n\n\n\n\nHeena Jethwa25th June \n\n\n\n\n\nEdvina Babic1st December \n\n\n\n\n\nNancy Poleon1st December \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInvestment\n\n\n\n€600 ex.

SUMMARY:MAVERICKS
DESCRIPTION:Summit\n\n\nMAVERICKS\n\n\n\nmen as advocates for women’s visibility!\n\n\n\nApril 13\, 2026 \n\n\n\n14:00-18:00Adyen Amsterdam \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet your tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe only “Manel” you should join this year \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat’s a Manel?\n\n\n\nIt refers to all-male panels and is used to highlight the exclusion of women as subject-matter experts. But we’re flipping the script! On April 13th\, we’re putting only male allies and advocates on stage to share how they’re showing up for women and what other men can do to actually move the needle. \n\n\n\nWhy men need to be part of this conversation\n\n\n\nThe reality is that men hold the majority of leadership positions. Which means they hold the power to change things. Without men actively participating in gender inclusion\, we’re saying gender diversity is a women’s issue. It’s not. It’s everyone’s issue. And the data backs it up. Research by BCG shows that when men don’t participate in gender equity efforts\, progress sits at 30%.  \n\n\n\nWhen men do participate? Progress jumps to 96%\, so three times higher. Men also act as role models and influencers for other men. They can shift behaviors\, challenge norms and open doors that have been closed for far too long. \n\n\n\nIf we want 50/50 representation\, and we should\, we need to get there together. \n\n\n\nWhat we’re going to be talking about\n\n\n\nWe’re gonna have honest conversations about what advocacy actually looks like: \n\n\n\n\nLeveraging your privilege\n\n\n\nUse your access and influence to open doors for women.\n\n\n\nCreating safe spaces to be authentic\n\n\n\nHold yourself accountable to build truly inclusive environments.\n\n\n\nBreaking the rules (especially if they don’t work for women)\n\n\n\nUse your position as a gatekeeper to change or better yet\, break the systems that hold women back.\n\n\n\nPracticing curiosity\, not assuming things are they way they are\n\n\n\nAsk questions. Even the uncomfortable ones.\n\n\n\nShowing respect & emotion\n\n\n\nBe the one who leads with humanity\, not just authority.\n\n\n\n\nWho should come\n\n\n\nThis event is for pairs\, one man and one woman\, who are serious about closing the gender gap in leadership. This event is for people who believe progress happens when we work together\, not in silos and are looking for practical tools and real life stories to inspire them \n\n\n\n\nWhat you can expect\n\n\n\n\nAn energizing afternoon filled with panel discussions\, storytelling and presentations by men who are currently advocates for women in the workplace.\n\n\n\nActive participation with plenty of Q&A moments\, breakout rooms and exercises to get the real conversation going.\n\n\n\nA great networking opportunity to connect with likeminded businessmen and women that are working for an equal workforce\n\n\n\nDrinks and snacks to continue the conversations off stage\n\n\n\n The most gender balanced audience you’ve ever seen.\n\n\n\n\n\nGot a question we can’t miss? Send your suggestion here (info@brandedu.nl) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor the male advocate\n\n\n\nYou want to move beyond performative allyship and use your influence to actually open doors for women. You’re tired of watching talented women get overlooked and you’re ready to challenge the systems that keep them there\, even if it means breaking some rules. You’re willing to have uncomfortable conversations and show up publicly for this cause. \n\n\n\n\nYou know your privilege is only valuable if you use it to make room for others. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor the woman building her career\n\n\n\nYou’re ambitious\, talented\, and exhausted from being the only voice pushing for change. You’ve spent years navigating systems that weren’t built for you\, and you’re tired of fighting alone. You want to work in an environment where male leaders actually get it\, where they don’t just nod along but actively advocate for you and other women. You’re looking for examples of what real male allyship looks like\, and you want to bring a male colleague or leader who’s ready to step up alongside you. \n\n\n\n\nYou’re here because you deserve allies who show up\, not just speak up. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet your tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\nYour host \n\n\n\nNancy PoleonFounder BrandedU \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmir AttariTechnology Delivery Lead at Accenture \n\n\n\n\n\nBas RapatiChief Analytics Officer at Van Lanschot Kempen \n\n\n\n\n\nIain DuncanDirector of Engineering\, Software at Booking.com \n\n\n\n\n\nJasper KlapwijkManager Business Development & Health Lead at Invest International \n\n\n\n\n\nJeffrey Liong A KongPassenger Service Lead at KLM \n\n\n\n\n\nSjoerd KueterGlobal HR Director – People and Organisational Development at ABN AMRO Bank N.V. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou can only come in pairs\n\n\n\nWe practice what we preach: we want 50/50 representation in the room too. That’s why you can only attend this event in pairs\, one man\, one woman (or identifying as such).  \n\n\n\nInvite an inspiring male advocate to join you.

SUMMARY:Women's Visibility Awards - ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Summit\n\n\nMAVERICKS\n\n\n\n\nMarch 30th 2026 \n\n\n\n18:00 – 22:30  \n\n\n\nDe Hallen Studio’s \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt’s about being visible.Being SEEN. Being Aware \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2026 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy are we doing this?\n\n\n\nHistory is full of invisible women. Women who have made major contributions in science\, economics\, business\, media and arts and whose work has gone unnoticed. \n\n\n\nWomen play a vital role in shaping our world\, driving innovation\, and creative inclusive environments across industries and organisations. Their contributions are undeniable\, and their leadership deserves to be recognized and celebrated. The Women Visibility Awards are designed to honor exceptional women who have made significant contributions in various sectors\, breaking barriers and paving the way for others to follow. \n\n\n\nWhy companies should nominate their women\n\n\n\nThis is a great opportunity for companies to show the inspiring women working there because it takes one to get another one. It’s more than just employer branding and recruitment. This is because real life role models can empower more women in the business world to reach for the top and they contribute to a more inclusive and successful workplace. \n\n\n\nBy nominating your employees\, you’re not just celebrating their individual journeys\, but also sending a strong message about your commitment to diversity\, inclusion\, and creating a space where women can thrive. The awards shine a light on role models\, paving the way for others to rise and achieve their full potential. \n\n\n\nWho should be nominated\n\n\n\nWe’re inviting companies only to nominate their high potential women and Mavericks (advocates for gender equality). Research suggests that women in business get less visibility than their male counterparts and the WVA are here to change that! \n\n\n\nTake this opportunity to honor the women who are shaping your company and the world around them. Nominate them today and be part of creating a future where women leaders are celebrated and empowered. Celebrate the Power of Women Leaders: Nominate Today! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nFind out more\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the Women’s Visibility Awards! \n\n\n\nFind out about how you can nominate your women on the Women’s Visibility Awards Website.  \n\n\n\nVisit the Women’s Visibility Awards website
