Join us in starting off the new year with new ideas and myth busting facts on a topic that often polarises and and remains of utmost importance.

It is with great pleasure that we introduce Dorothee Gnädinger and her new book “Having it all. Stories behind the myth”. The book shares the true and often untold stories of female CEOs, and provides unique insights into the unpolished reality of their lives.

The book sheds light on what it is like to become - and remain - a CEO from the perspective of those who have reached the top. The author herself will be joined by one of the five CEO contributors to the book, and they will speak to as well as answer questions about their journeys, the price they have had to pay along the way and why they have chosen to speak so openly and honestly about it in this important, eye opening book.

There is no doubt that more women can become CEOs or take up executive roles, but it is essential – and about time – to be honest about what this means and what there is to look forward to, holistically, from a whole-life perspective.

Dorothee Gnädinger will be interviewed by Nick Bridge who will also be acting as sommelier for the evening, so you can look forward to a nice glass of wine during the event.
