Program Description
Dialogue, cultural understanding and trust are crucial for successful leadership regardless of whether you work at a local or international level. Therefore, we invite you to a unique workshop focused on the shared skills and stories for successful leadership. You will have the opportunity to work together with 15 female business leaders from the United Arab Emirates – participants of the Women Leadership Exchange Program (WLEP) – during this day.
During this one-day workshop we will focus on sharing stories. Many of the most successful companies in the world use storytelling very intentionally as a leadership tool. Storytelling is useful in far more situations than most leaders realize. Five common motivations for storytelling include:
- inspiring the organization,
- setting a vision,
- teaching important lessons,
- defining culture and values, and
- explaining who you are and what you believe.
Come and explore with us what it means to be a leader today in Scandinavia and the UAE. What are the challenges that we face and how can we support and learn from each other? Explore the differences and discover similarities in our everyday lives. Learn more about what leading in a global context means and how that connects to our individual stories and experiences.
This is a unique opportunity to exchange experience and build relationships with business leaders the UAE. This workshop is part of a joint program between Women for Sustainable Growth (W4SG), Dubai Women Establishment (DWE) and MiL Institute that aims to build a community of female leaders between the Nordic and Gulf regions.
