Welcome to the 2nd Swedish Chamber of Commerce Women Business Leadership Program 2022. In this session, we will talk about how to achieve a more structured work environment and make room for health and wellbeing to make smarter decisions and setting aside time for rest and recharge.
ABOUT THE SWEDISH CHAMBER WOMEN BUSINESS LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
The Swedish Chamber of Commerce Women Business Leadership Program is tailormade to personal needs and will help you identify the obstacles to your success, as well as guide you towards becoming the best version of yourself – both as a leader and in your private life. Despite being successful in their roles and producing positive results, many business leaders and professionals experience a lack of confidence, low energy levels, stress, and fatigue. They often feel as though they are not being heard and are unsure of themselves and where they are heading. Many leaders feel both physically and mentally drained because they do not take care of their bodies and mind.

“My expertise takes a holistic approach, driving success in others through a combination of individual coaching and team coaching while promoting a healthy, active lifestyle. I have multiple years of international experience, I’m also a certified Personal Fitness Trainer,” Malin says.
Malin firmly believes that well-being is one of the most important ingredients in being a sustainable leader, and also physical strength. The way of the world today revolves around quick fixes and shortcuts into achieving goals or missions whereas Malin would claim that endurance and persistence pay off, and building a solid foundation is key.
Inspirational Speakers:
Laura Faber and Sanne Terlouw from Bureau
It is time to empower the position of women in the workforce in The Netherlands because everywhere we are underrepresented.
Did you know that:
- 75% of the women work parttime contrary to 25% of the men.
- Only 13% of the art in musea is created by women (although almost all the nudes are female).
- There are more CEO’s called Peter than there are female CEO’s in the Netherlands.
We are looking forward to welcoming our members to the Women Business Leadership Program – “Mindful Leadership” on June 9, 2022 to take part in the discussions with our Coach and Inspirational Speakers.
TESTIMONIES: WHY SIGN UP FOR THE SWEDISH CHAMBER WOMEN BUSINESS LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
“Participating in the Women Business Leadership program, provided by Malin via the Swedish Chamber, has been a great help in my daily life, both private and business-wise! It has provided me with tips & tricks to be better aware of why I do things the way you do them, and if needed how I might be able to change/improve. The term “ant-steps” is one that often comes to my mind. I really recommend you to join a session!
If you are not able to do all four, one is more than not at all! But I’m sure if you go for one you will most likely want to join all sessions. I always leave this session with such a positive boosted feeling.”
Pernilla Guitink-Svensson, Process Improvement Professional at ASML
“The reason I attended the Swedish Chamber of Commerce Women Business Leadership Program was that after nearly a year with Corona/Lockdowns I wanted to make sure to keep my energy level high and hoped that attending the program would help me (to give some tips/guidance). Your program encouraged me to make some changes through small steps that had a positive impact on my energy level and overall wellbeing.”
