5th Visionary Women’s* Salon | Networking evening for women

The 1,000 Faces of Women – Balancing Art, Science and Life 

A career in academia presents women with challenges in many different ways. Research, teaching, leadership, securing external funding and achieving international visibility must be reconciled with personal life plans and diverse roles – as a researcher, colleague, manager, mentor, partner, mother or daughter. The demands are high, the expectations varied, and it is not uncommon for one’s own needs and resources to take a back seat.
The Visionärinnen-Salon and speaker Dr Krisztina Berger invite you to step back from the day-to-day realities of academic life and view your own professional and personal development from a new perspective.

A key feature of the Salon is working with the ‘Wheel of Life’ – one of the best-known coaching tools for reflecting on the different areas of one’s life. It enables a holistic view of the various roles and areas of responsibility of a female academic and helps participants to consciously identify priorities, recognise resources and develop a new sense of balance.

 The focus is on questions that many women in academia and leadership face:

• How can I successfully combine academic excellence with personal fulfilment?
• What inner patterns shape my decisions and my leadership style?
• Which roles empower me – and which ones drain my energy?
    • How can I present myself authentically, confidently and effectively, even in demanding and often male-dominated work environments?
• What does success mean to me personally – today and in the years to come?

The Visionärinnen*Salon connects women in academia and beyond. As part of the FEM*Vision Mentoring programme, the Salon evening offers interested women a platform to get to know one another (better), network, find collaboration or tandem partners, forge alliances, present current projects or new formats, and share their vision.
