Agenda - Courage to be the Change
W.I.N. 2006, “Courage to be the change…..” is the 9th in a series of visionary global leadership forums developing, empowering and connecting leaders worldwide. The forum encourages women to be the change through authentic action - alongside with men. W.I.N. believes that for change to be lasting it has to happen in a new paradigm where feminine values such as compassion, win-win approaches to negotiation, empathy, intuition, authenticity, integrity, caring and sharing plays a significant role. It is time to elevate leadership to whole new level and we invite you to join.

The morning is dedicated to women and men of corporations or international organizations who work with diversity and inclusion issues.
How is women’s increasingly significant role in companies impacting business and current business models? How are companies helping women to bring sustainable vision, diversity and inclusiveness as integral parts, into corporate life? How are women getting to the top and what can be done to foster this growth? Which barriers are proving most persistent and what are companies doing to overcome them? What are the most effective incentives for rewarding gender-aware managers? What strategies attract, retain and develop women leaders and create successful diversity cultures, and how can these strategies be sustained and survive changes in management, funding priorities and an evolving corporate identity?
Case studies, corporate testimonials with cutting edge programmes and discussion groups give opportunities to benchmark best practices, brainstorm and find creative solutions.

We are inspired to think big, global, be “ambitious”, concrete and courageous. Day 1 looks at how we can optimise our environment, articulate our vision and strategy, and shape the future day by day.

What does it mean to run today’s corporations? How do our corporate leaders integrate global and social responsibility, ethical governance, demands for a diverse and talented workforce into a stimulating work culture whilst remaining competitive? What role the smaller entrepreneur? What vision and leadership patterns are needed?
As leaders, how can we lead with integrity and strong values? Be conscious and communicate in our own way in the market, with suppliers, employees and colleagues? How can we create prosperous organizations and cultures that attract commitment, purpose and performance, and empower, nurture, and realize the potential of our people to optimise results? How do we make it happen? How do we be the change agent?
CEOs and top-level executives of market-leading brands and some impressive new entrants share their cutting-edge initiatives and advice on how they are making their organizations a better place for their employees, those whose lives they touch and the shareholder!

14:15 Plenary Session: Being Change Agents- Career
Time and talent are precious resources. Women now have the opportunity to become highly educated and are gaining valuable professional and personal experience at home and abroad. Women can have it all; a job, a family and time for personal growth. Yet, who doesn’t feel the pressure of expectations from others (and self) about being successful, setting priorities, and doing it all? How can you find the formula that is right for you?
In many countries and organizations it is seemingly no longer impossible to climb the corporate ladder nor become an entrepreneur. The question is how do we want work and life to be: would more of us step up to power, and feel great about it, if power, work environments and leadership were more inclusive, purposeful, caring, compassionate and passionate? We suggest it is time we move into a higher gear as we look at how the new authentic and feminine leaders consider power. What do we need to take on board positions, become an intra- or entrepreneur, and how do we create the environment that makes people grow.
Successful people who have made startling choices, influential leaders and outstanding professionals illuminate new options, strategies and real life practices.

Growing as Individuals – Being the change
07:30 Body-Mind Awakening Session
09:00 Plenary Session: Experts Explore Creativity, Communication and Authenticity
How can we give and receive, become fully satisfied, and inspire others? As we ask ourselves who we are, how we do things, and how we approach the world, communication becomes key. How can we learn to better communicate across borders, gender barriers and personalities to achieve best results in our personal and professional lives? Will it be possible to find a universal, conscious and peaceful way of communicating? How can we tap into our creativity and bring innovative solutions to the surface? As we learn more about that which makes us unique, how can we use this to source and suffuse our power?
11:00 Networking Coffee
11:15 Open Space Forum – Working Groups
The Open Space Forum is a successful W.I.N. formula. A moment without agenda. A gathering of all participants, speakers, workshop leaders and the W.I.N. team.
Do you want to raise a specific subject, discuss a hot topic with a group of women, share concerns or successes, articulate a vision? - this is the right time to do so, to find support and win others to help you realize your ideas, your passion and creativity, to "run your own show" –“become the change” this could be your own speaker's platform, Hyde Park Corner ‘soapbox’.
