Join INSEAD Women in Business Zurich for an evening of honest, interactive conversation on boundaries, pressure and sustainable leadership, hosted at AWS Zurich. We’ll start with a few short personal stories in an interactive panel format, weave in simple reflective activities, and then open up to informal networking over an apéro.

You’ll leave with a clearer sense of where your own boundaries hold (and where they don’t), a few practical ways to ask for what you need, and connections with others who are facing similar questions.
