Welcome to the first seminar module of the 2021/22 edition of our Mercator Alumnae Careerbuilding program Mercatora!

This seminar will focus on teambuilding, networking and personal career analysis. What are my career goals? How to build my career with a strategic plan? What are my success criteria? This module works with the personal experiences, ideas and requirements of the participating alumnae; no standardized program is carried out. Participants will be instructed and encouraged to get in touch with role models and to use methods of peer coaching.

The seminar takes place via Zoom. Participation is limited to alumnae who have successfully passed the application process. Please note: application closes on May 30, 2021.

Women in management positions are often exposed to the "double-bind" problem - they must be considered neither too feminine nor too masculine. Women therefore have to deal with their gender identity and develop career-related strategies in a different way than it is the case for men. In addition, unconscious thought patterns (unconscious bias) influence thinking, behavior and decisions, especially in an intercultural context, and require not only knowledge, but also above all sensitivity and reflection. Building on this, self-management and leadership skills are on the agenda. “Inclusive Leadership” will be presented in a practice-oriented manner and discussed in relation to the intercultural and personal experiences of the participants.

The seminar takes place via Zoom. Participation is limited to those alumnae who have successfully passed the application process.

Courage and leadership are closely related and key competencies for managers. Is courage something that can be trained? The participating alumnae get to know the method of “competent and courageous behavior” at workplaces. Besides the challenge of everyday courage, the intensity and speed of everyday work are constantly increasing, but private life also holds many new challenges, depending on the phase of life, especially for women. How do I get all my goals and needs under one roof? How can I better prioritize and achieve a life balance between work, family, friends and my own personal needs? What can we learn from people who master their lives in a particularly healthy and resilient manner? The aim of the training is to strengthen the participants' resilience, to provide them with tools and practical methods for active self-management and to support them in developing clear goals and strategies for more life balance and satisfaction.
