As a management consultant with more than 10 years of experience in leadership and organizational development in an IT organization, Yvonne empowers and supports women in their first leadership positions so that they are confident, perceived by their team as authentic leaders and their opinions and expertise are heard and valued. She also supports organizations in creating an environment in which their employees can flourish.
She wants to see more brave, authentic, and passionate women in leadership who are standing strong in their center, actively creating and supporting each other. That’s why she organizes the “Circle of Joy – sisters for sisters” event twice a year with the association MADITA, where hundreds of women come together to raise their voices and celebrate the power of the female community.
When her courage and energy leave her, this quote reminds her to keep going (at her own pace): “If not now, when? If not us, who?”
