The barriers female leaders face are rarely dramatic enough to look historic. They show up as interruptions that sound polite, standards that keep moving, authority that gets questioned a little longer and stories women are still expected to package in a way that feels acceptable, grateful and comfortable enough for everyone else to digest easily.
This discussion brings together women who have stopped waiting for that comfort to arrive. Through power, visibility, leadership and the politics of being heard, Brankica Janković (Group Founder and Director, Aquarius Group), Nataša Pavlović Bujas (Managing Director, Blumen Group) and Katja Fašink (CEO, key7 communications & cyber, First Female WBF Certified Boxing Manager), moderated by Irena Knežević (Corporate Communications Manager, Hemofarm), will explore what it takes to move forward when the system still rewards certainty more easily in some voices than others. Because let’s be real, you can be brilliant, experienced and very obviously right, and still find yourself doing extra work just to make the room comfortable with it.
