Learn from Professor Nicola Kleyn’s powerful storytelling and expertise in our free webinar.

Why is it important to distinguish between saying ‘yes’ and saying ‘no’ as women move through their professional journey? Learn from examples and life experiences of Professor Nicola Kleyn, Dean of Executive Education at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM) in a free webinar on Thursday 28 January 2021.

“What ultimately defines you as an individual is what you say no to – not what you say yes to,” says Prof. Kleyn. “And it’s not just what you say no to strategically but, more importantly, what you say no to when it comes to your values.”

As a powerful storyteller, Prof. Kleyn will talk about the choices women make in their professional journey. The webinar will include an interaction session and will be hosted by Professor Hanneke Takkenberg, co-Executive Director of the Erasmus Centre for Women and Organisations.

The webinar ‘What we say yes and no to’ will take place on Thursday 28 January 2021.
