How Women lead differently - and how men can become allies and bridge-builders

An inspiring Leadership Keynote Speech that invites us to re-think what leadership means in times of change towards more gender balance in board rooms. Helene’s empowering story-telling speech gives women the courage to lead in their authentic, feminine way, with the strengths that most women already bring with them: emotional intelligence, empathy and the ability to share power. She encourages men to “open the glass ceiling from above” and to lead the change towards new work cultures that are open for diverse leadership styles – benefitting both men and women.

The speech not only opens doors and new perspectives, it also concludes with concrete action steps that women, men and organisations can take from tomorrow onwards to be part of the change.

Why are not more women applying for top positions? - The secrets behind hiring women

Why are so many companies still struggling to hire more women into senior management positions? Spoiler: it is not because women lack confidence. The true reason is that we still create most work places with a “default man” in mind: the unwritten rules of success still favour men. In her Leadership Mentorings, Helene Banner has spoken to more than 200 women on their experience in top positions.

In this speech, she shares what women told her that they most need in order to thrive in top positions and what the most important hurdles were for them. She shares concrete measures on what companies can do in their work culture, communication and work patterns so that more women feel safe to thrive. Helene also shares how men can contribute to creating a work culture that is open for change.

How to bring men on board for more diversity?

In many “women leadership conferences“, there is an “elephant in the room“: the men are missing. Many men feel frustrated and not really interested in the topic. How can we make the cause of gender balance “attractive” for men? How can we make it a business case rather than a “nice-to-have“? How can we make them feel seen when more women are in top positions?

After hundreds of conversations with women and men in top positions, Helene Banner shares the recipes to opens doors so that women and men can be part of the change, together. Her Keynote Speech is not only captivating but also has an empowering bridge-building effect on men and women in your organisation.
