WEBINAR ENDED
Step Up is an unscripted conversation between Pamela Hackett, CEO of Proudfoot and Lorena Schoenfeld, Chief of Staff and COO of Proudfoot about 'working while women'.

Pamela and Lorena, two senior executives with a 20-year gap between them; both working in the male-dominated Management Consulting industry, sit down to an open dialogue about their individual, personal and shared experiences in business, what they have learned, overcome, and are currently experiencing at work.

Step Up is for women at work, women in leadership, women on their way to take up leadership roles and next gen-leaders, and their male counterparts who have an interest in stepping up, lifting one another up, and thriving in the new reality. The conversation could go anywhere, but here are a few points of interest:
  • Is it really very different being a woman in leadership?
  • Are there lessons the women who are at the top of their career can teach those on the way? Do you ever really get to the top? Or is it a continual journey?
  • Can women support one another in better ways? Do we lift one another up enough? Do others help women enough?
  • There's never been a better time to be a woman in business - true or false?
  • This episodes 10 questions for working-while-a-woman.
