The Career Woman's Forum (CWF) is a non-profit, bi-lingual (French and English) Swiss association founded in 1982 in Geneva by highly engaged and pioneering women. This club encourages women’s professional development through the exchange of ideas, networking and self-fulfillment to achieve recognition as active and engaged women – able to influence socio-professional life.
Annually, CWF organizes a conference which has proved to be very popular and tickets sell out! Just to give you an idea of how great they are, here are a few comments from participants of last year's conference entitled: Reinvent yourself. Innovate your career!
"Quality of the moderator and the presenters, the authenticity of their sharing experiences, the right number of participants, enough to network, not too many in order to really have time to create a link, great food and drinks."
"The speakers were great and very complementary. The event was very inspiring. I would like to thank the CWF team for the great organisation and selection of the speakers."
"A diversified panel with different life experiences added even more value to the conference."
CWF celebrates the 10th edition of the WAVE conference (Women Added Value in the Economy) on Tuesday, 29 January entitled: Understanding the importance of emotional intelligence for today’s leadership. The theme will explain emotional intelligence as a great predictor of career success. How it plays an important role in the ability to relate to, recognize, understand and manage one's own and others’ emotions. Used effectively, it can give leaders the potential to build an aligned, engaged, and committed workforce. CWF explains, "Everyone is born with a different level of emotional intelligence and it can be improved with practice."
Thanks to panel speakers, you will learn:
- What really is emotional intelligence
- How to develop your own emotional intelligence
- How emotional intelligence can help become a better leader
- How emotional intelligence can be key to exceed your goals and reach your fullest potential
The panel will be made up of the following professionals:
- Christian Buschbeck, Co-fondateur Ikaara
