Professional women and men and influential decision makers or opinion leaders: company executives, entrepreneurs, independent professionals, consultants, academics, artists, thought leaders, government and NGO representatives, international business school professors and students.

Typically the W.I.N. woman is culturally aware, wants to be part of a community and has an international and open mindset. She is well educated, keen to learn, to grow and to contribute, receptive to new technology and spirituality and she embraces change letting life unfold listening to her intuition as well as moves through action and a sense of personal responsibility to accomplish her goals. She wants it all: work, family, community and self. She is both vulnerable and strong and desires to speak with her own voice. She is feminine and authentic.

Typically the W.I.N. man is not afraid of being in the minority. He wants to understand how women are changing work and life and also he himself desires to be part of the new transformation into a truly human future, creating new norms in society, economic life, cultural milieus and organizations from an integral and feminine perspective alongside women. He wants to be part of raising consciousness, part of shaping a new, emerging paradigm that he knows, also benefits him.
