1.30 – 1.50 PM CET:

Keynote Speech

Men & Women as Partners in Leadership

Leadership requires teamwork (both hierarchical and lateral), and all leaders, regardless of gender, should be empowered — and empower others — to perform to their full potential. This keynote will address how men and women can engage with each other to assume this responsibility to mutual benefit. It will build on the presentation Rick gave at the Rise & Lead Summit 2019, “How do we involve men in gender equality?” This time, the discussion will focus even more on the specific steps women leaders can take to involve men in fostering equity, and that male leaders can take to encourage the advancement of women leaders.
